under any provision of this Indenture, the Company shall, if requested by the Trustee, furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action
have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of

complied with. 
 SECTION 103. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee 

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary
that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more
other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 

Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such Officer’s Certificate or
opinion are 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

  

 8 








 
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. 

Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other
document or instrument, a clerical, typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may be substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if
originally filed in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the actual execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates
required with respect to the document or instrument for which it is substituted. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any such corrective document or instrument indicates that action has been taken by or at the request of
the Company which could not have been taken had the original document or instrument not contained such error or omission, the action so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be and remain in full force and
effect, except to the extent that such action was a result of willful misconduct or bad faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Securities issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless be
the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Securities, except as aforesaid. 

SECTION 104. Acts of Holders 

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other action provided by this
Indenture to be made, given 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 or, alternatively, may be embodied
in and evidenced by the record of Holders voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Thirteen, or a combination of
such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to
the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments and so voting at
any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 901) conclusive
in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1306. 

 

 9 








 (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 a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing
acknowledged to him the execution thereof or may be proved in any other manner which the Trustee and the Company deem sufficient. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. 
 (c) The
principal amount (except as otherwise contemplated in clause (y) of the proviso to the definition of Outstanding) and serial numbers of Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.

 (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act of a Holder
shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the
Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 

(e) Until such time as written instruments shall have been delivered to the Trustee with respect to the requisite
percentage of principal amount of Securities for the action contemplated by such instruments, any such instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of a Holder may be revoked with respect to any or all of such Securities by written notice by
such Holder or any subsequent Holder, proven in the manner in which such instrument was proven. 
 (f) Securities
of any series, or any Tranche thereof, authenticated and delivered after any Act of Holders may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any action taken by such Act of Holders. If the Company
shall so determine, new Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to such action may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series or Tranche. 
 (g) If the Company shall solicit
from Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by Company Order, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given
before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the Outstanding Securities have
authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of the record date. 

 

 10 








 SECTION 105. Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Company 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, 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, the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company, or the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder, shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and delivered personally to an officer or other responsible employee of the addressee, or transmitted by facsimile transmission, telex or other direct written electronic means to such telephone number or other electronic
communications address as the parties hereto shall from time to time designate, or transmitted by registered mail, charges prepaid, to the applicable address set opposite such party’s name below or to such other address as either party hereto
may from time to time designate:

SECTION 106. Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given, and shall be deemed given, to Holders if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest
date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
  

 11 








 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 to Holders 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, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. 

Any notice required by this Indenture may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the
event otherwise to be specified therein, 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. 
 SECTION 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act 

If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required or deemed to be included
in this Indenture by, or is otherwise governed by, any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such other provision shall control; and if any provision hereof otherwise conflicts with the Trust Indenture Act, the Trust Indenture Act shall
control. 
 SECTION 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents 

The Article and Section headings in this Indenture and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction hereof. 
 SECTION 109. Successors and Assigns 

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company and Trustee shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so
expressed or not. 
 SECTION 110. Separability Clause 

In case any provision in this Indenture or the Securities shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 SECTION 111. Benefits of Indenture

 Nothing in this Indenture or the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto,
their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 SECTION
112. Governing Law 
 This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York. 
  

 12 








 SECTION 113. Legal Holidays 

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place
of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities other than a provision in Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, or in the Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate which establishes the
terms of the Securities of such series or Tranche, which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment of interest or principal and premium, if any, need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but
may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment, except that if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day in each case with the same force
and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after
such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to such Business Day.

creditors’ rights, including, without limitation, bankruptcy and insolvency laws and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); 

provided, however, that, with respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive such Opinion of
Counsel only once at or prior to the time of the first authentication of such Securities (provided that such Opinion of Counsel addresses the authentication and delivery of all Securities of such series) and that in lieu of the opinions described in

instruments delivered pursuant to clause (a) above, such terms will have been duly authorized by the Company and will have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

 (y) such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in
accordance with this Indenture and the Company Order or Orders or specified procedures referred to in paragraph (x) above and issued and delivered by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel,
will have been duly issued under this Indenture and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement,
to laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, including, without limitation, bankruptcy and insolvency laws and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law). 
 With respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities, the form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and other documents delivered pursuant
to Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as applicable, at or prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series unless and until such opinion or other documents have been superseded or revoked or expire by their terms. In
connection with the authentication and delivery of Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that the Company’s instructions to authenticate and deliver such Securities do not violate any
rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Company. 
 If the form or terms of the
Securities of any series have been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate as permitted by Sections 201 or 301, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issuance 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. 

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, no Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee or its agent by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder to the Company, or any Person acting on its behalf, but shall never have been
issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Security Registrar for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, 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 hereof. 
  

 19 








 SECTION 304. Temporary Securities 

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of
which they are issued, 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; provided, however, that temporary
Securities need not recite specific redemption, sinking fund, conversion or exchange provisions. 
 Unless otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, after the preparation of definitive Securities of such series or Tranche, the temporary Securities of such series or Tranche shall be
exchangeable, without charge to the Holder thereof, for definitive Securities of such series or Tranche upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 602 in a Place of Payment
for such Securities. Upon such surrender of temporary Securities, the Company shall, except as aforesaid, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Securities of the same series and Tranche, of authorized
denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 
 Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, temporary
Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and Tranche and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange 

The Company shall cause to be kept in each office designated pursuant to Section 602, with respect to the Securities of each series
or any Tranche thereof, a register (all registers kept in accordance with this Section being collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall
provide for the registration of Securities of such series or Tranche and the registration of transfer thereof. The Company shall designate one Person to maintain the Security Register for the Securities of each series on a consolidated basis, and
such Person is referred to herein, with respect to such series, as the “Security Registrar.” Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may designate one or more of its offices as an office in which a register with
respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche or Tranches thereof, shall be maintained, and the Company may designate itself the Security Registrar with respect to one or more of such series. The Security Register shall be open for
inspection by the Trustee and the Company at all reasonable times. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of such series or Tranche at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to

  

 20 








 
Section 602 in a Place of Payment for such series or Tranche, 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 and Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof,
any Security of such series or Tranche may be exchanged at the option of the Holder, for one or more new Securities of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the
Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. 
 All Securities delivered upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid
obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee or
the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed or shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such
Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 406 or 1206 not involving any transfer. 

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of transfer of or the exchange of (a) Securities of
any series, or any Tranche thereof, during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities of such series or Tranche called for redemption or (b) any Security so selected
for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
 SECTION 306. Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities 
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and Tranche, and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership of and the
destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (b) such 
  

 21 








 
security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such
Security is held by a Person purporting to be the owner of such Security, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and
Tranche, and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, 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 reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone other than the Holder of such new Security, and any such new Security shall be entitled to
all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series duly issued hereunder. 

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved

 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, or any
Tranche thereof, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at
the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 
 Any interest on any Security of any series which is
payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the related 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 (a) or (b) below: 

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such
series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a date (herein called 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 

 

 22 








 
proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or
shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause
provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the
receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall promptly cause notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such
Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date. 
 (b)
The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may
be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration
of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners 

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the
absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

SECTION 309. Cancellation by Security Registrar 

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than
the Security Registrar, be delivered to the Security Registrar and, if not theretofore canceled, shall be promptly canceled by the Security Registrar. The Company may at any time deliver to the Security Registrar for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any 
  

 23 








 
manner whatsoever or which the Company shall not have issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Security Registrar. 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 held by the Security Registrar shall be disposed of in accordance with a Company Order
delivered to the Security Registrar and the Trustee, and the Security Registrar shall promptly deliver a certificate of disposition to the Trustee and the Company unless, by a Company Order, similarly delivered, the Company shall direct that
canceled Securities be returned to it. The Security Registrar shall promptly deliver evidence of any cancellation of a Security in accordance with this Section 309 to the Trustee and the Company. 

SECTION 310. Computation of Interest 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, interest on the
Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed within any month in relation to the deemed 30 days of such month. 

SECTION 311. Payment to Be in Proper Currency 

In the case of the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, denominated in any currency other than Dollars or in a composite
currency (the “Required Currency”), except as otherwise specified with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section 301, the obligation of the Company to make any payment of the principal thereof, or the premium, if any, or
interest, if any, thereon, shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender by the Company, or recovery by the Trustee, in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the Trustee
timely holding the full amount of the Required Currency then due and payable. If any such tender or recovery is in a currency other than the Required Currency, the Trustee may take such actions as it considers appropriate to exchange such currency
for the Required Currency. The costs and risks of any such exchange, including without limitation the risks of delay and exchange rate fluctuation, shall be borne by the Company, the Company shall remain fully liable for any shortfall or delinquency
in the full amount of Required Currency then due and payable, and in no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable therefor except in the case of its negligence or willful misconduct. 

ARTICLE FOUR 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

SECTION 401. Applicability of Article 

Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with
their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series or Tranche) in accordance with this Article. 
  

 24 








 SECTION 402. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee 

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate. The
Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of such Securities to
be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (b) pursuant to an election of the
Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition. 

SECTION 403. Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed 

If less than all the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall
be selected by the Security Registrar from the Outstanding Securities of such series or Tranche not previously called for redemption, by such method as shall be provided for any particular series or Tranche, or, in the absence of any such provision,
by such method of random selection as the Security Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate and which may, in any case, provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series
or Tranche or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series or Tranche of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or Tranche; provided, however, that if, as
indicated in an Officer’s Certificate, the Company shall have offered to purchase all or any principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding of any series, or any Tranche thereof, and less than all of such Securities as to which such offer
was made shall have been tendered to the Company for such purchase, the Security Registrar, if so directed by Company Order, shall select for redemption all or any principal amount of such Securities which have not been so tendered. 

The Security Registrar shall promptly notify the Company and the Trustee in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the
case of any Securities selected to be redeemed in part, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 For all purposes of this
Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities
which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 404. Notice of Redemption 

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106 to the Holders of the Securities to be redeemed not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. 
  

 25 








 All notices of redemption shall state: 

(a) the Redemption Date, 

(b) the Redemption Price, 

(c) if less than all the Securities of any series or Tranche are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular
Securities to be redeemed and the portion of the principal amount of any Security to be redeemed in part, 
 (d)
that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on
and after said date, 
 (e) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, unless it shall have been specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Securities that such surrender shall not be required, 

(f) that the redemption is for a sinking or other fund, if such is the case, and 

(g) such other matters as the Company shall deem desirable or appropriate. 

Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities in accordance with Section 301, with respect to any notice of redemption
of Securities at the election of the Company, unless, upon the giving of such notice, such Securities shall be deemed to have been paid in accordance with Section 701, such notice may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the
receipt by the Paying Agent or Agents for such Securities, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities and that if such money shall not
have been so received such notice shall be of no force or effect and the Company shall not be required to redeem such Securities. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not so received, the redemption
shall not be made and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so received and such redemption was not required to be made, and the Paying Agent or
Agents for the Securities otherwise to have been redeemed shall promptly return to the Holders thereof any of such Securities which had been surrendered for payment upon such redemption. 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company, and any notice of non-satisfaction of a condition for
redemption as aforesaid, shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Security Registrar in the name and at the expense of the Company. Notice of mandatory redemption of Securities shall be given by the Security Registrar
in the name and at the expense of the Company. 
 SECTION 405. Securities Payable on Redemption Date 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the conditions, if any, set forth in such notice having been satisfied, the
Securities or portions thereof so to be redeemed shall, on 
  

 26 








 
the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless, in the case of an unconditional notice of redemption, the Company
shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities or portions thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with such
notice, such Security or portion thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that no such surrender shall be a condition to such payment if so
specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Security; and provided, further, that except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Security, any installment of interest on any Security the
Stated Maturity of which installment is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holder of such Security, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the related Regular Record Date
according to the terms of such Security and subject to the provisions of Section 307. 
 SECTION 406. Securities Redeemed in Part 

 Upon the surrender of any Security which is to be redeemed only in part at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company
or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and Tranche, of any authorized denomination requested by such Holder and of like
tenor and in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. 

ARTICLE FIVE 

SINKING FUNDS 

SECTION 501. Applicability of Article 

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of any series, or any Tranche
thereof, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series or Tranche. 
 The
minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount
provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the cash amount
of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 502. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of the series or Tranche in respect of which it was made as provided for by the terms
of such Securities. 
  

 27 








 SECTION 502. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities 

The Company (a) may deliver to the Trustee Outstanding Securities (other than any previously called for redemption) of a series or
Tranche in respect of which a mandatory sinking fund payment is to be made and (b) may apply as a credit Securities of such series or Tranche which have been (1) 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 or (2) repurchased by the Company in the open market, by tender offer or otherwise, in each case in satisfaction of all
or any part of such mandatory sinking fund payment; provided, however, that no Securities shall be applied in satisfaction of a mandatory sinking fund payment if such Securities shall have been previously so applied. Securities so applied shall be
received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

 SECTION 503. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund 

Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying: 
 (a) the amount of the next succeeding
mandatory sinking fund payment for such series or Tranche; 
 (b) the amount, if any, of the optional sinking
fund payment to be made together with such mandatory sinking fund payment; 
 (c) the aggregate sinking fund
payment; 
 (d) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment which is to be satisfied by the
payment of cash; 
 (e) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment which is to be satisfied by
delivering and crediting Securities of such series or Tranche pursuant to Section 502 and stating the basis for such credit and that such Securities have not previously been so credited, and the Company shall also deliver to the Trustee any
Securities to be so delivered. 
 If the Company shall not deliver such Officer’s Certificate, the next succeeding sinking
fund payment for such series or Tranche shall be made entirely in cash in the amount of the mandatory sinking fund payment. Not less than 40 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon
such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 403 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 404. Such notice having been
duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 405 and 406. 
  

 28 








 ARTICLE SIX 

COVENANTS 
 SECTION
601. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest 
 The Company shall pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest,
if any, on the Securities of each series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture. 
 SECTION 602. Maintenance of
Office or Agency 
 The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for the Securities of each series, or any Tranche
thereof, an office or agency where payment of such Securities shall be made, where the registration of transfer or exchange of such Securities may be effected and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of such Securities and
this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or agency and prompt notice to the Holders of any such change in the manner specified in
Section 106. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, payment of such
Securities shall be made, registration of transfer or exchange thereof may be effected and notices and demands in respect thereof may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent
for all such purposes in any such event. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche thereof, for any or all of the foregoing purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such series or Tranche, no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes in each Place of Payment for
such Securities in accordance with the requirements set forth above. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, and prompt notice to the Holders in the manner specified in Section 106, of any such designation or rescission and
of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any office
or agency required by this Section may be maintained at an office of the Company, in which event the Company shall perform all functions to be performed at such office or agency. 

SECTION 603. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust 

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, it
shall, on or before each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on any of such Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and premium
or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor on such Securities) to make any
payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Securities. 
  

 29 








 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Securities of any series,
or any Tranche thereof, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities, deposit with such Paying Agents sums sufficient (without duplication) to pay the principal and premium or
interest so becoming due, such sums to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by it
so to act. 
 The Company shall cause each Paying Agent for the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, other than the
Company or the Trustee, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent shall: 

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such
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; 

(b) give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor upon such Securities) to make any payment
of principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Securities; and 
 (c) at any time during the
continuance of any such failure, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent and furnish to the Trustee such information as it possesses regarding the names and addresses of
the Persons entitled to such sums. 
 The Company may at any time 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, if so stated in a Company Order
delivered to the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of Article Seven; 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, if any, on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or, if then held
by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust; and, upon such payment or discharge, the Holder of such Security shall, as an unsecured general creditor and not as a Holder of an Outstanding Security, look only to the Company for payment of the
amount so due and payable and remaining unpaid, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;

  

 30 








 
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment to the Company, may at the expense of the Company cause to be mailed, on one occasion
only, notice to such Holder 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 mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to the
Company. 
 SECTION 604. Corporate Existence 

Subject to the rights of the Company under Article Eleven, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect its corporate existence. 
 SECTION 605. Maintenance of Properties 

The Company shall cause (or, with respect to property owned in common with others, make reasonable effort to cause) all its properties
used or useful in the conduct of its business to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and shall cause (or, with respect to property owned in common with others, make reasonable effort to cause) to be made all necessary
repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as, in the judgment of the Company, may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted; provided, however, that nothing in
this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing, or causing the discontinuance of, the operation and maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business.

 SECTION 606. Annual Officer’s Certificate as to Compliance 

Not later than October 1 in each year, commencing October 1,         , the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate which need not comply with Section 102, executed by the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Company, as to
such officer’s knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture, such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture. 

SECTION 607. Waiver of Certain Covenants 

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in (a) Section 602 or
any additional covenant or restriction specified with respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, as contemplated by Section 301 if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series and Tranches with respect to which compliance with Section 602 or such additional covenant or restriction is to be omitted, considered as one class, shall, by Act of such Holders,
either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition and (b) Section 604, 605 or Article Eleven if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of Securities Outstanding under this Indenture shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such 

 

 31 








 
term, provision or condition; but, in the case of (a) or (b), no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until
such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

ARTICLE SEVEN 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

SECTION 701. Satisfaction and Discharge of Securities 

Any Security or Securities, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, shall be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this
Indenture, and the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof shall be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged, if there shall have been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust:

 (a) money in an amount which shall be sufficient, or 

(b) in the case of a deposit made prior to the Maturity of such Securities or portions thereof, Eligible Obligations,
which shall not contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment thereof at the option of the issuer thereof, the principal of and the interest on which when due, without any regard to reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which,
together with the money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, shall be sufficient, or 

(c) a combination of (a) or (b) which shall be sufficient, 

to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, due and to become due on such Securities or portions thereof on or prior to
Maturity; provided, however, that in the case of the provision for payment or redemption of less than all the Securities of any series or Tranche, such Securities or portions thereof shall have been selected by the Security Registrar as provided
herein and, in the case of a redemption, the notice requisite to the validity of such redemption shall have been given or irrevocable authority shall have been given by the Company to the Trustee to give such notice, under arrangements satisfactory
to the Trustee; and provided, further, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee and such Paying Agent: 

(x) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of such Securities, a Company Order stating that the money
and Eligible Obligations deposited in accordance with this Section shall be held in trust, as provided in Section 703; 

(y) if Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited, an Opinion of Counsel that the obligations so deposited constitute
Eligible Obligations and do not contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment at the option of the issuer thereof, and an opinion of an independent public accountant of nationally recognized standing, selected by the Company, to
the effect that the requirements set forth in clause (b) above have been satisfied; and 
  

 32 








 (z) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of such
Securities, an Officer’s Certificate stating the Company’s intention that, upon delivery of such Officer’s Certificate, its indebtedness in respect of such Securities or portions thereof will have been satisfied and discharged as
contemplated in this Section. 
 Upon the deposit of money or Eligible Obligations, or both, in accordance with this Section,
together with the documents required by clauses (x), (y) and (z) above, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Request, acknowledge in writing that the Security or Securities or portions thereof with respect to which such deposit was
made are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture and that the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof has been satisfied and discharged as contemplated in this Section. In the event that all of the conditions set
forth in the preceding paragraph shall have been satisfied in respect of any Securities or portions thereof except that, for any reason, the Officer’s Certificate specified in clause (z) shall not have been delivered, such Securities or
portions thereof shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture, and the Holders of such Securities of portions thereof shall nevertheless be no longer entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or of any of the
covenants of the Company under Article Six (except the covenants contained in Sections 602, 603 and 604) or any other covenants made in respect of such Securities or portions thereof as contemplated by Section 301, but the indebtedness of the
Company in respect of such Securities or portions thereof shall not be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged prior to Maturity for any other purpose, and the Holders of such Securities or portions thereof shall continue to be entitled to look
to the Company for payment of the indebtedness represented thereby; and, upon Company Request, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such Securities or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture.

 If payment at Stated Maturity of less than all of the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, is to be provided for
in the manner and with the effect provided in this Section, the Security Registrar shall select such Securities, or portions of principal amount thereof, in the manner specified by Section 403 for selection for redemption of less than all the
Securities of a series or Tranche. 
 In the event that Securities which shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this
Indenture, and, if such is the case, in respect of which the Company’s indebtedness shall have been satisfied and discharged, all as provided in this Section do not mature and are not to be redeemed within the sixty (60) day period
commencing with the date of the deposit of moneys or Eligible Obligations, as aforesaid, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, give a notice, in the same manner as a notice of redemption with respect to such Securities, to the Holders of
such Securities to the effect that such deposit has been made and the effect thereof. 
 Notwithstanding that any Securities
shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture, as aforesaid, the obligations of the Company and the Trustee in respect of such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 403, 404, 406, 503 (as to notice of redemption), 602, 603,
907, 909, 910 and 915 and this Article Seven shall survive. 
 The Company shall pay, and shall indemnify the Trustee or any
Paying Agent with which Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited as provided in this Section against, any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against such Eligible Obligations or the principal or interest received in respect of
such Eligible Obligations, including, but not limited to, any such tax payable by any entity deemed, for tax purposes, to have been created as a result of such deposit. 
  


 33 








 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) if, at any time after a Security
would be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture, and, if such is the case, the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof would be deemed to have been satisfied or discharged, pursuant to this Section (without regard to the
provisions of this paragraph), the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be required to return the money or Eligible Obligations, or combination thereof, deposited with it as aforesaid to the Company or its representative under any
applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, such Security shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been paid and any satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof shall
retroactively be deemed not to have been effected, and such Security shall be deemed to remain Outstanding and (b) any satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s indebtedness in respect of any Security shall be subject to the provisions
of the last paragraph of Section 603. 
 SECTION 702. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture 

This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as hereinafter expressly provided), and the Trustee, at
the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when 

(a) no Securities remain Outstanding hereunder; and 

(b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; 

provided, however, that it, in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 701, any Security, previously deemed to have been paid for purposes of
this Indenture, shall be deemed retroactively not to have been so paid, this Indenture shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been satisfied and discharged, as aforesaid, and to remain in full force and effect, and the Company shall
execute and deliver such instruments as the Trustee shall reasonably request to evidence and acknowledge the same. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as aforesaid, the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under
Sections 304, 305, 306, 403, 404, 406, 503 (as to notice of redemption), 602, 603, 907, 909, 910 and 915 and this Article Seven shall survive. 

Upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in this Section, the Trustee shall assign, transfer and turn over to the
Company, subject to the lien provided by Section 907, any and all money, securities and other property then held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities other than money and Eligible Obligations held by the Trustee
pursuant to Section 703. 
  

 34 








 SECTION 703. Application of Trust Money 

Neither the Eligible Obligations nor the money deposited pursuant to Section 701, nor the principal or interest payments on any such
Eligible Obligations, shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and such Eligible Obligations and money deposited and the principal and interest payments on any such Eligible Obligations shall be held in trust for, the payment of the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities or portions of principal amount thereof in respect of which such deposit was made, all subject, however, to the provisions of Section 603; provided, however, that, so
long as there shall not have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, any cash received from such principal or interest payments on such Eligible Obligations, if not then needed for such purpose, shall, to the extent practicable, be invested
in Eligible Obligations of the type described in clause (b) in the first paragraph of Section 701 maturing at such times and in such amounts as shall be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any,
due and to become due on such Securities or portions thereof on and prior to the Maturity thereof, and interest earned from such reinvestment shall be paid over to the Company as received, free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge under this
Indenture except the lien provided by Section 907; and provided, further, that, so long as there shall not have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, any moneys held in accordance with this Section on the Maturity of all such
Securities in excess of the amount required to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due on such Securities shall be paid over to the Company free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge under this Indenture except the
lien provided by Section 907, and provided, further, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, moneys to be paid over to the Company pursuant to this Section shall be held until such Event of Default shall have been
waived or cured. 
 ARTICLE EIGHT 

EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES 

SECTION 801. Events of Default 

“Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events:

 (a) failure to pay interest, if any, on any Security of such series within 60 days after the same becomes due
and payable; or 
 (b) failure to pay the principal of or premium, if any, on any Security of such series within
three Business Days after its Maturity; or 
 (c) failure to perform, or breach 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 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 one or more series of Securities other than such series) 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 33%
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities 
  

 35 








 
of such series, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, unless the Trustee,
or the Trustee and the Holders of a principal amount of Securities of such series not less than the principal amount of Securities the Holders of which gave such notice, as the case may be, shall agree in writing to an extension of such period prior
to its expiration; provided, however, that the Trustee, or the Trustee and the Holders of such principal amount of Securities of such series, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have agreed to an extension of such period if corrective action is
initiated by the Company within such period and is being diligently pursued; or 
 (d) the entry by a court
having jurisdiction in the premises of (1) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or
(2) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition by one or more Persons other than the Company seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the
Company under any applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official for the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or
liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order shall have remained unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or 

(e) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in a case or proceeding under
any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking
reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar
official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the
authorization of such action by the Board of Directors; or 
 (f) any other Event of Default specified with
respect to Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 802. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, then in
every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of such series are Discount Securities, such portion of
the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof as contemplated by Section 301) of all of the Securities of such series to be due and payable 

 

 36 








 
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon receipt by the Company of notice of such declaration such principal amount (or specified
amount) shall become immediately due and payable; provided, however, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to more than one series of Securities, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all such series, considered as one class (and not the Holders of the Securities of any one of such series), may make such declaration of acceleration. 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series shall have been made and before a judgment
or decree for payment of the money due shall have been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Event or Events of Default giving rise to such declaration of acceleration shall, without further act, be deemed to have been
waived, and such declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if 

(a) the Company shall have paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 

(1) all overdue interest on all Securities of such series; 

(2) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities; 

(3) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed
therefor in such Securities; 
 (4) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907; and 

(b) any other Event or Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series, other than the non-payment of the
principal of Securities of such series which shall have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 813. 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

SECTION 803. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee 

If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 801 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company
shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of the series with respect to which such Event of Default shall have occurred, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and
premium, if any, and interest, if any, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on premium, if any, and on any overdue principal and interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907. 
  

 37 








 If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in
its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any
other obligor upon such Securities and collect the 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 such Securities, wherever situated. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion
proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

SECTION 804. 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, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be
due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal, premium, if
any, and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for amounts due to the Trustee under
Section 907) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
 (b) to collect and receive any
moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amounts due it under Section 907. 
 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. 
  

 38 








 SECTION 805. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities 

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

SECTION 806. Application of Money Collected 

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or premium, if any, or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money shall have been collected and the
notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 First: To the
payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 907; 
 Second: To the payment of the amounts then due
and unpaid upon the Securities for principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts
due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, respectively; and 

Third: To the Company. 

SECTION 807. Limitation on Suits 

No Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment
of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (a) such Holder shall have previously
given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series; 

(b) the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in
respect of which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, considered as one 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;

 (c) such Holder or Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
  

 39 








 (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (e) no direction inconsistent with
such written request shall have been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, considered as one class; 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any
manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to
enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. 

SECTION 808. 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 307) interest, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the
Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

SECTION 809. 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 shall
have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, and Trustee and such Holder
shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and such Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

SECTION 810. Rights and Remedies Cumulative 

Except as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

 

 40 








 SECTION 811. Delay or Omission Not Waiver 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any
such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 812. Control by Holders of Securities 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing in respect of a series of Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with
respect to the Securities of such series; provided, however, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to more than one series of Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all such series, considered as one class, shall have the right to make such direction, and not the Holders of the Securities of any one of such series; and provided, further, that 

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and could not involve the Trustee
in personal liability in circumstances where indemnity would not, in the Trustee’s sole discretion, be adequate, and 

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

 SECTION 813. Waiver of Past Defaults 

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of
all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default 

(a) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security of such series, or

 (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 1202 cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default
shall cease to exist, and any and all Events 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. 
  

 41 








 SECTION 814. Undertaking for Costs 

The Company and the Trustee agree, and each Holder by such Holder’s acceptance of a Security shall be deemed to have agreed, that any
court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, 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 aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which such suit may be brought, considered as one class, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of
the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 

SECTION 815. Waiver of 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 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 NINE 

THE TRUSTEE 
 SECTION
901. Certain Duties and Responsibilities 
 (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of any series, 
 (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform, with respect to Securities of such
series, such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may, with respect to Securities of such series, 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 provision hereof are 
  

 42 








 
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.

 (b) In case an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee shall exercise, with respect to Securities of such series, such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s 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 clause (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of clause (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; 
 (3) the Trustee shall not be
liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any one or more series, as provided herein,
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; and

 (4) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (d) 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 902. Notice of Defaults 

The Trustee shall give notice of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series to the Holders of Securities of such
series in the manner and to the extent required to do so by the Trust Indenture Act, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in clause (c) of
Section 801, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 75 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.

request or direction; 
 (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters

Default or (2) written notice of such Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company, any other obligor on such Securities or by any Holder of such Securities. 

SECTION 904. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities 

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication) shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither the

SECTION 905. May Hold Securities 

Each of the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company or the Trustee,
in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 908 and 913, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Authenticating Agent,
Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 
 SECTION 906. 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

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except to the extent that

 As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to
the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such other than property and funds held in trust under Section 703 (except as otherwise provided in Section 703). “Trustee” for 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 908. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests 

If the Trustee shall have or acquire any conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, it shall either eliminate
such conflicting interest or resign to the extent, in the manner and with the effect, and subject to the conditions, provided in the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. For purposes of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act and to the
extent permitted thereby, the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities of any series, shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest arising from its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities of any other series.

 SECTION 909. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be 

(a) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any State or Territory thereof or the
District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, or 

(b) if and to the extent permitted by the Commission by rule, regulation or order upon application, a corporation or other
Person organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or the Dollar equivalent of the applicable
foreign currency and subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a political subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees, and, in
either case, qualified and eligible under this Article and the Trust Indenture Act. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this 
  

 46 








 
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any
time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 

SECTION 910. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor 

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 911. 

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice
thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 911 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 

(d) If at any time: 

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 908 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder
who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months, or 
 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under
Section 909 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee
or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 

then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or
(B) subject to Section 814, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with
respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 (e) If the Trustee shall
resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause (other than as contemplated in clause (B) in clause (d) of this Section), with respect to the Securities of one or more
series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee 
  

 47 








 
or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of
such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 911. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or
incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to
the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 911, become the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted
appointment in the manner required by Section 911, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 (f) So
long as no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and except with respect to a Trustee appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, if the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (1) a Board Resolution appointing a successor Trustee, effective as of a date specified therein, and (2) an
instrument of acceptance of such appointment, effective as of such date, by such successor Trustee in accordance with Section 911, the Trustee shall be deemed to have resigned as contemplated in subsection (b) of this Section, the
successor Trustee shall be deemed to have been appointed by the Company pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section and such appointment shall be deemed to have been accepted as contemplated in Section 911, all as of such date, and all
other provisions of this Section and Section 911 shall be applicable to such resignation, appointment and acceptance except to the extent inconsistent with this clause (f). 

(g) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of
any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its corporate trust office. 

SECTION 911. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor 

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of all series, every such
successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring

  

 48 








 
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, 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 all sums owed to it, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not
all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which
(1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or
those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (3) shall add to or change
any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution
and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon
payment of all sums owed to it, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates. 
 (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any
instruments which fully vest in and confirm to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in clause (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 

(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall
be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
 SECTION 912. 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 
  

 49 








 
to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all 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 with the same effect as if such successor
Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
 SECTION 913. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company 

If the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities (other than by reason of a
relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), the Trustee shall be subject to any and all applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company or such other obligor. For
purposes of Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act: 
 (a) the term “cash transaction” means
any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand; 

(b) the term “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made,
drawn, negotiated or incurred by the Company or such obligor for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to,
possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee
simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the Company or such obligor arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation. 

SECTION 914. Co-trustees and Separate Trustees 

At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company and the Trustee shall
have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, the Company shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of
all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, or to act as separate trustee, in either case with such powers as may be provided in
the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Company does not join in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment. 

 

 50 








 Should any written instrument or instruments from the Company be required by any co-trustee
or separate trustee so appointed to more fully confirm to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company. 

Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the
following conditions: 
 (a) the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered, and all rights, powers, duties
and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised solely, by the Trustee; 

(b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property
covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed either by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or
separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee; 
 (c) the Trustee at any
time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Company, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Company. Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Company shall join with the Trustee in the
execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section;

 (d) no co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of
the Trustee, or any other such trustee hereunder; and 
 (e) any Act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee. 
 SECTION 915. Appointment of Authenticating Agent

 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any
Tranche thereof, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series or Tranche issued upon original issuance, exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to
Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever

  

 51 








 
reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall
at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any State or Territory thereof or the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, 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 the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating
Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The
Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time
such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed
unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to
time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, in accordance with, and subject to the provisions of Section 907. 

The provisions of Sections 308, 904 and 905 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent. 

 

 52 








 If an appointment with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche
thereof, shall be made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series or Tranche may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the
following form: 
 This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within mentioned Indenture.

  

			
	                           
                                         
    , Trustee

	 By:
	 	  

	Authorized Signatory


 If
all of the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have
Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing (which writing need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint, in
accordance with this Section and in accordance with such procedures as shall be acceptable to the Trustee, an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such series of Securities.

 SECTION
1202. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders 
 With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series then Outstanding under this Indenture, considered as one class, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the
Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture; provided, however, that if there shall be
Securities of more than one series Outstanding hereunder and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly 
  

 56 








 
affect the rights of the Holders of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the Securities of any series shall have been issued in more than one Tranche and if the proposed supplemental
indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all
Tranches so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that no such supplemental indenture shall: 

(a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or
reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon (or the amount of any installment of interest thereon) or change the method of calculating such rate or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount
of the principal of a Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 802, or change the coin or currency (or other property), in which any Security or any premium
or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity of any Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), without, in any such
case, the consent of the Holder of such Security, or 
 (b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series or any Tranche thereof, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with any provision of
this Indenture or of any default hereunder and its consequences, or reduce the requirements of Section 1304 for quorum or voting, without, in any such case, the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Security of such series or Tranche, or

 (c) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 607 or Section 813 with respect to the
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, or except to increase the percentages in principal amount referred to in this Section or such other Sections or to provide that other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without
the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and
concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 911 and clause (h) of Section 1201. 

A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included
solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or of one or more Tranches thereof, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series or Tranches with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall
be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series or Tranche. 
  

 57 








 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the
particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. A waiver by a Holder of such Holder’s right to consent under this Section shall be deemed to be a consent of
such Holder. 
 SECTION 1203. Execution of Supplemental Indentures 

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications
thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 901) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, immunities or liabilities under this Indenture or otherwise.

 SECTION 1204. Effect of Supplemental Indentures 

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such
supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. Any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article
may restate this Indenture in its entirety, and, upon the execution and delivery thereof, any such restatement shall supersede this Indenture as theretofore in effect for all purposes. 

SECTION 1205. Conformity With Trust Indenture Act 

Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in
effect. 
 SECTION 1206. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures 

Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant
to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series, or any Tranche
thereof, so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities
of such series or Tranche. 
 SECTION 1207. Modification Without Supplemental Indenture 

If the terms of any particular series of Securities shall have been established in a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate
pursuant to a Board Resolution as contemplated by Section 301, and not in an indenture supplemental hereto, additions to, changes in or the elimination of any of such terms may be effected by means of a supplemental Board Resolution or
Officer’s Certificate, as the case may be, delivered to, and accepted by, the Trustee; provided, however, 
  

 58 








 
that such supplemental Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate shall not be accepted by the Trustee or otherwise be effective unless all conditions set forth in this Indenture which would
be required to be satisfied if such additions, changes or elimination were contained in a supplemental indenture shall have been appropriately satisfied. Upon the acceptance thereof by the Trustee, any such supplemental Board Resolution or
Officer’s Certificate shall be deemed to be a “supplemental indenture” for purposes of Section 1204 and 1206.

SECTION 1501. Agreement to Subordinate 

The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities of each series, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, likewise
covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities of each series and the payment of the principal thereof, premium, if any, sinking fund requirements therefor and interest thereon shall be subordinate and subject in right of
payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Senior Debt. 

SECTION 1502. Distribution on Dissolution, Liquidation and Reorganization 

Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or
involuntary, or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its properties, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshaling of the assets and liabilities of

paid or distributed in respect thereof; and 
  

 63 








 (b) until the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash or cash equivalents (as
provided in subsection (a) above), any Securities Payment to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee for their benefit would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 1302, shall be paid or delivered by the C mpany

pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear. 

For purposes of this Article 15 only, the words “any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities” shall not be deemed to include (i) a payment or distribution of stock or securities of the Company provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment authorized by an order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction
in a reorganization proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or of any other corporation provided for by such plan of reorganization or readjustment which stock or securities are subordinated in right of payment to all then outstanding Senior
Debt to the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article; or (ii) any deposit, or payment made therefrom, pursuant to Article 7, with respect to any series of Securities;
provided that, in the case of any such payment from a defeasance trust, the assets deposited in trust to fund such payment have been so deposited for any period of at least 90 consecutive days without the occurrence of a blockage of payment on such
series of Securities pursuant to this Section 1502 or Section 1503 hereof. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance
or transfer of all or substantially all of its properties and assets as an entirety to another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article 7 shall not be deemed a Proceeding for the purposes of this Section if the Person formed by such

with the conditions set forth in Article 7.

The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any Securities Payment with respect to which Section 1502 hereof would be
applicable. 
 SECTION 1504. Payment to Holders of Senior Debt 

Subject to the provisions of Section 1506, in the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1502 or
Section 1503, any Securities Payment shall be received by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the Securities (i) from the Company in violation of such provisions, or (ii) from any other Person under such circumstances that such
payment would, if 
  

 64 








 
made directly by the Company, be in violation of such provisions, such payment or distribution shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the benefit of, and shall immediately be paid over by the
Trustee, upon written request by a Person entitled to give notice on behalf of such Senior Debt as specified in Section 1510, to the holders of Senior Debt or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture under which any instrument evidencing any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of Senior Debt. 

Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities of the Company referred to in Sections 1502 and 1503, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, or upon any certificate of any liquidating trustee or agent or other similar Person making any payment or distribution to the Trustee
or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt, the amount thereof or payment thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 15. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to
participate in any payment or distribution referred to in Sections 1502 and 1503, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, 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 Sections 1502 and 1503, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 
 SECTION 1505. Subrogation

 Subject to the payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Senior Debt at the time outstanding, the Holders of the
Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of each holder of Senior Debt (to the extent of the payments or distributions made to such holder pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1502, 1503 and 1504) to receive payments or distributions of cash,
assets or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Debt until the Securities shall be paid in full. No payments or distributions to holders of Senior Debt of cash, assets or securities of the Company to which Holders of Securities would be
entitled except for the provisions of this Article 15, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 15 to holders of such Senior Debt by the Holders of Securities shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of
Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of the Senior Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Article 15 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 the Senior Debt, on the other hand, and nothing contained in this Article 15 or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in the Securities, is intended to or shall impair, as between the
Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Securities, as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of

  

 65 








 
the Company other than the holders of Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Securities from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 15 of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy. 

SECTION 1506. Payment on Securities Permitted 

Nothing contained in this Article 15 or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the Securities, shall prevent the Company from making
payment of the principal of, sinking fund, if any, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, at any time, except under the conditions described in Section 1503 and except during the pendency of any Proceeding within the meaning of
Section 1502. Nothing contained in this Article 15 or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the Securities, shall prevent the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder for the purpose, to the payment of or on
account of the principal of, sinking fund, if any, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, unless the Trustee shall have received written notice, directed to it at its Corporate Trust Office as provided in Section 1510. 

SECTION 1507. Authorization of Holders to Trustee to Effect Subordination 

Each Holder of Securities, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee in such Holder’s behalf to
take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as between the Holders of the Securities and the holders of Senior Debt, the subordination provided in this Article 15 and appoints the Trustee such Holder’s attorney-in-fact
for any and all such purposes. 
 SECTION 1508. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions 

No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any
knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. 
 Without in any way limiting the generality of the
foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities and without
impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment
or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) permit the Company
to borrow, repay and then reborrow any or all of the Senior Debt; (iii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt; (iv) release any Person liable in any manner for the
collection of Senior Debt; (v) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person; and (vi) apply any sums received by them to Senior Debt.

 SECTION 1509. Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt 

The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 15 in respect of any Senior Debt at any time held by it, to the
same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in Section 913 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive or be construed to deprive the Trustee of its rights as such holder. 

Nothing in this Article 15 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 907 hereof.

 SECTION 1510. Notices to Trustee 

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any
payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Securities to the extent herein provided if notice is otherwise given as hereinafter provided in this
Section 1510. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall
not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice
thereof from the Company, any holder of Senior Debt or any trustee, fiduciary or agent therefor; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 801 hereof, shall be entitled in all
respects to assume that no such facts exist. Any notice required or permitted to be given to the Trustee by a holder of Senior Debt or a trustee, fiduciary or transfer agent therefor shall be in writing and shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder in writing and either (i) sent via facsimile to the Trustee, the receipt of which shall be confirmed via telephone, or (ii) mailed, first class postage prepaid, or sent overnight carrier, to the Trustee addressed to it at the
address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address furnished in writing to such holder of the Senior Debt by the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, no notice, request or
other communication to or with the Trustee shall be deemed given unless received by a Responsible Officer at the Trustee’s principal corporate trust office. 

SECTION 1511. No Fiduciary Duty by Trustee to Holders of Senior Debt 

The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any such holders if it
shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or the Company or any other Person moneys or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 15 or otherwise. 

SECTION 1512. Paying Agent Treated as Trustee 

In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the
term “Trustee” as used in this Article 15 shall in 
  

 67 








 
such case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying
Agent were named in this Article 15 in place of the Trustee. 
  

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