 Only such Debt Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, signed manually by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Debt Security executed by the
Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Debt Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Debt Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Debt Securities so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the
Company, such Debt Securities nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Debt Securities had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Debt Security may be signed on behalf of the
Company by such Persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Debt Security, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of such Debt Security or of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such
officer. 
 SECTION 2.05. AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF DEBT SECURITIES. At any time and from time to time after the execution
and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Debt Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Debt Securities to or upon a Company
Order. In authenticating such Debt Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Debt Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.0l) shall be fully
protected in relying upon:

 (2) an executed supplemental Indenture, if any; 
 (3) an
Officers’ Certificate; and

with the provisions of this Indenture; and

the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws

  

 13 








 
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
equity or law) and subject to such other exceptions as counsel shall request and as to which the Trustee shall not reasonably object. 
 Such Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to whether a court in the United States would render a money judgment in a currency other than that of the United States. 
 The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Debt Securities under this Section 2.05 if the Trustee,
being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors, trustees or vice presidents shall determine
that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders. 
 The Trustee may appoint an
authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Debt Securities of any series. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Debt Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each
reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, paying agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 
 Unless otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for any series, each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

 SECTION 2.06. DENOMINATION OF DEBT SECURITIES. Unless otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for any series, the
Debt Securities of each series shall be issuable only as Registered Securities in such denominations as shall be specified or contemplated by Section 2.03. In the absence of any such specification with respect to the Debt Securities of any
series, the Debt Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 SECTION 2.07. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. 
 (a) The Company shall keep
or cause to be kept a register for each series of Registered Securities issued hereunder (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Debt Security Register”), in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Company shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and the transfer of Registered Securities as provided in this Article II. At all reasonable times the Debt Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Subject to
Section 2.15, upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Registered Security at any office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Registered Security or Registered Securities of authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount. 
 Unless and until otherwise determined by the Company by resolution of the Board of Directors, the register of the Company for the purpose of
registration, exchange or registration of transfer of the Registered Securities shall be kept at the corporate trust office of the Trustee and, for this purpose, the Trustee shall be designated “Registrar”. 
  

 14 








 Registered Securities of any series (other than a Global Security) may be exchanged for a
like aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations. Subject to Section 2.15, Registered Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the office or agency to be maintained by the
Company as provided in Section 4.02, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Registered Security or Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to
receive. 
 (b) All Registered Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or payment shall (if
so required by the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar) be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Registered
Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 All Debt Securities issued in exchange for or upon transfer of Debt
Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Debt Securities surrendered for such exchange or transfer. 
 No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Debt Securities (except as provided by Section 2.09),
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, other than those expressly provided in this Indenture to be made at the Company’s own expense or
without expense or without charge to the Holders. 
 The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer
of or exchange any Debt Securities for a period of 15 days next preceding any mailing of notice of redemption of Debt Securities of such series or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Securities selected, called or being called
for redemption. 
 Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Debt Security, the Company, the Trustee,
any paying agent or any Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Debt Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Debt Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such
Debt Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Debt Security is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent or Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for
any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 SECTION 2.08. TEMPORARY DEBT SECURITIES. Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series, the Company may execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Debt Securities (printed, lithographed, photocopied, typewritten or otherwise produced) of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Debt Securities in lieu of
which they are issued, in registered form and with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debt

  

 15 








 
Securities, all as may be determined by the Company with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Debt Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be
appropriate. Every temporary Debt Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Debt Securities. 
 If temporary Debt Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Debt Securities of such series to be prepared
without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of such series, the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Debt Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Debt
Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company at a Place of Payment for such series, without charge to the Holder thereof, except as provided in Section 2.07 in connection with a transfer. Upon surrender for cancellation of
any one or more temporary Debt Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of the same series of authorized
denominations and of like tenor. Until so exchanged, temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of such series, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 2.03(17) with respect to the payment of interest on Global Securities in temporary form. 
 Upon
any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security for a definitive Global Security or for the individual Debt Securities represented thereby pursuant to Section 2.07 or this Section 2.08, the temporary Global Security shall be
endorsed by the Trustee to reflect the reduction of the principal amount evidenced thereby, whereupon the principal amount of such temporary Global Security shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount to exchanged and endorsed. 
 SECTION 2.09. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN DEBT SECURITIES. If (i) any mutilated Debt Security is surrendered to the Trustee at
its corporate trust office (in the case of Registered Securities) or (ii) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debt Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any paying agent harmless, and neither the Company nor the Trustee receives notice that such Debt Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, then the
Company shall execute and, upon a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security, a new Debt Security of the same series of like tenor, form, terms
and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debt Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Debt Security which has matured or is about to mature or which has been called for redemption shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may,
instead of issuing a substituted Debt Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debt Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish the Company and the Trustee with
such security or indemnity as either may require to save it harmless from all risk, however remote, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such
Debt Security and of the ownership thereof. 
  

 16 








 Every substituted Debt Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.09 by virtue of the fact that any Debt Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security shall be found at
any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. All Debt Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition
that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities, and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or
hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. 
 SECTION 2.10. CANCELLATION OF SURRENDERED DEBT SECURITIES. All Debt Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying
agent or a Registrar, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation by it, or if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be canceled by it, and no Debt Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of
this Indenture. All canceled Debt Securities held by the Trustee shall be destroyed (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) and certification of their destruction delivered to the Company, unless otherwise directed. On
request of the Company, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Debt Securities held by the Trustee. If the Company shall acquire any of the Debt Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of
the indebtedness represented thereby unless and until the same are delivered or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company may not issue new Debt Securities to replace Debt Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.11. PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE AND DEBT SECURITIES FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF THE PARTIES AND THE
HOLDERS. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, the Holders or any Registrar or paying agent, any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all its covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, the Holders and any Registrar and paying
agents. 
 SECTION 2.12. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; RIGHTS PRESERVED. 
 (a) Interest on any Registered Security that is payable and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any interest payment date shall be
paid to the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest notwithstanding the cancellation of such Registered Security upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to
the regular record date. Payment of interest on Registered Securities shall be made at the corporate trust office of the Trustee (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03), or at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Debt Security Register or, if provided

  

 17 








 
pursuant to Section 2.03 and in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the option of the Registered Holder by wire transfer to an account designated by the Registered
Holder. 
 (b) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and Section 2.17, each Debt Security of a
particular series delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Debt Security of the same series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by
such other Debt Security. 
 SECTION 2.13. SECURITIES DENOMINATED IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES. 
 (a) Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for Registered Securities of any series, payment of the principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on, Registered Securities of such series will be made in Dollars. 
 (b) For the purposes of
calculating the principal amount of Debt Securities of any series denominated in a Foreign Currency or in units of two or more Foreign Currencies for any purpose under this Indenture, the principal amount of such Debt Securities at any time
Outstanding shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of such principal amount as of the date of any such calculation. 
 In
the event any Foreign Currency or currencies or units of two or more Currencies in which any payment with respect to any series of Debt Securities may be made ceases to be a freely convertible Currency on United States Currency markets, for any date
thereafter on which payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities of a series is due, the Company shall select the Currency of payment for use on such date, all as provided in the Debt Securities of such series. In
such event, the Company shall, as provided in the Debt Securities of such series, notify the Trustee of the Currency which it has selected to constitute the funds necessary to meet the Company’s obligations or such payment date and of the
amount of such Currency to be paid. Such amount shall be determined as provided in the Debt Securities of such series. The payment to the Trustee with respect to such payment date shall be made by the Company solely in the Currency so selected.

 SECTION 2.14. WIRE TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Indenture, the Company may make any
payment of monies required to be deposited with the Trustee on account of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities (whether pursuant to optional or mandatory redemption payments, interest payments or otherwise) by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Trustee on or before the date such moneys are to be paid to the Holders of the Debt Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 SECTION 2.15. SECURITIES ISSUABLE IN THE FORM OF A GLOBAL SECURITY. 
 (a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 that the Debt Securities of a particular series are to be issued in
whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee or its agent shall, in

  

 18 








 
accordance with Section 2.05, authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or Securities, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of, the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security or Securities, or such portion thereof as the Company shall specify in an Officers’ Certificate, (ii) shall be registered in the
name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee or its agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend
substantially to the following effect: ‘Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Debt Securities represented hereby, this Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of
the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary’, or such other legend as may
then be required by the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 2.15 or of Section 2.07 to the contrary, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Debt
Securities in registered form, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 2.07, only by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security, or by a nominee of the
Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary to a successor Depositary for such Global Security selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor
Depositary. 
 (c) (i) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security or Securities notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or if at any time the Depositary for the Debt Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable
statute, rule or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global Security or Securities. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security or Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after
the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such individual Debt Securities of such series
in exchange for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver, individual Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in
exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 
 (ii) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that
the Debt Securities of any series or portion thereof issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Debt Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Debt Securities of such series of like
tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such series or portion thereof in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 
  

 19 








 (iii) If specified by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 with respect to Debt
Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in
definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company, the Trustee and such Depositary. Thereupon the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or its agent upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt
Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (1) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new Debt Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as
requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Persons beneficial interest in the Global Security; and (2) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized
denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities delivered to Holders thereof. 
 (iv) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee or its agent will
authenticate and deliver individual Debt Securities. Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of a Global Security for individual Debt Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in the
preceding paragraph, Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or the Registrar. The Trustee or the Registrar shall deliver such Registered Securities to the Persons in whose names such Registered Securities are so
registered. 
 (v) Payments in respect of the principal of and interest on any Debt Securities registered in the name of the
Depositary or its nominee will be payable to the Depositary or such nominee in its capacity as the registered owner of such Global Security. The Company and the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name the Debt Securities, including the Global
Security, are registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving such payments and for any and all other purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Registrar, the paying agent or any agent of the Company or the Trustee will
have any responsibility or liability for (a) any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of the beneficial ownership interests of the Global Security by the Depositary or its nominee or any of the Depositary’s direct
or indirect participants, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary, its nominee or any of its direct or indirect participants relating to the beneficial ownership interests of the Global Security, (b) the
payments to the beneficial owners of the Global Security of amounts paid to the Depositary or its nominee, or (c) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of the Depositary, its nominee or any of its direct or indirect
participants. None of the Company, the Trustee or any such agent will be liable for any delay by the Depositary, its nominee, or any of its direct or indirect participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the Debt Securities, and the Company
and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the Depositary or its nominee for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the
Debt Securities to be issued). 
  

 20 








 SECTION 2.16. MEDIUM TERM SECURITIES. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all
Debt Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary for the Company to deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate, resolutions of the Board of Directors, supplemental Indenture, Opinion of
Counsel or written order or any other document otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.01, 2.03, 2.05 or l2.05 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Debt Security of such series if such documents are delivered to the Trustee or its
agent at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first such Debt Security of such series to be issued; PROVIDED, that any subsequent request by the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Debt Securities of such series upon
original issuance shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company that, as of the date of such request, the statements made in the Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.05 or 12.05 shall be true and correct as
if made on such date and that the Opinion of Counsel delivered at or prior to such time of authentication of an original issuance of Debt Securities shall specifically state that it shall relate to all subsequent issuances of Debt Securities of such
series that are identical to the Debt Securities issued in the first issuance of Debt Securities of such series. 
 A Company
Order delivered by the Company to the Trustee in the circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph, may provide that Debt Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or its agent on original issue
from time to time upon the telephonic or written order of Persons designated in such written order (any such telephonic instructions to be promptly confirmed in writing by such Person) and that such Persons are authorized to determine, consistent
with the Officers’ Certificate, supplemental Indenture or resolution of the Board of Directors relating to such written order, such terms and conditions of such Debt Securities as are specified in such Officers’ Certificate, supplemental
Indenture or such resolution. 
 SECTION 2.17. DEFAULTED INTEREST. Any interest on any Debt Security of a particular series
which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Debt Securities of such series and in this Indenture (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall, if such Debt Security is a
Registered Security, forthwith cease to be payable to the Registered Holder thereof on the relevant record date by virtue of his having been such Registered Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below: 
 (i) The Company may elect to make payment of any
Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner: The
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee
an amount of money 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

  

 21 








 
more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee
shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first class
postage pre-paid, to each Holder thereof at its address 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 Registered Securities of such series are registered at the close of business on such special record date. 
 (ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Registered Securities of such series in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Registered Securities of such series 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. 
 SECTION
2.18. JUDGMENTS. The Company may provide pursuant to Section 2.03 for Debt Securities of any series that (a) the obligation, if any, of the Company to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt Securities of any
series in a Foreign Currency or Dollars (the “Designated Currency”) as may be specified pursuant to Section 2.03 is of the essence and agrees that, to the fullest extent possible under applicable law, judgments in respect of Debt
Securities of such series shall be given in the Designated Currency; (b) the obligation of the Company to make payments in the Designated Currency of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Debt Securities shall,
notwithstanding any payment in any other Currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the Designated Currency that the Holder receiving such payment may, in accordance with normal banking
procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other Currency (after any premium and cost of exchange) on the business day in the country of issue of the Designated Currency or in the international banking community (in the case of a composite
currency) immediately following the day on which such Holder receives such payment; (c) if the amount in the Designated Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Company shall pay such
additional amounts as may be necessary to compensate for such shortfall; and (d) any obligation of the Company not discharged by such payment shall be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, shall
continue in full force and effect. 
 ARTICLE III 
 Redemption of Debt Securities 
 SECTION 3.01. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. The
provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Debt Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Debt Securities of such series. 

 

 22 








 SECTION 3.02. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION; SELECTION OF DEBT SECURITIES. In case the Company shall
desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Debt Securities of any series in accordance with their terms, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or a supplemental Indenture, the Company shall fix
a date for redemption and shall give notice of such redemption at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of Debt Securities of such series so to be redeemed as a whole or in part, in the manner
provided in Section 12.03. The notice if given in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the
notice to the Holder of any Debt Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debt Security of such series. 
 Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price at which Debt Securities of such series are
to be redeemed, the Place or Places of Payment that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities, that any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that the
redemption is for a sinking fund payment (if applicable), that on and after said date any interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue, that in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities original issue discount
accrued after the date fixed for redemption will cease to accrue, the terms of the Debt Securities of that series pursuant to which the Debt Securities of that series are being redeemed and that no representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Debt Securities of that series. If less than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall specify the CUSIP numbers of the Debt
Securities of that series to be redeemed. In case any Debt Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the
date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Debt Security, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of that series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof. 
 At least 60 days before the redemption date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period, the Company shall give notice to the Trustee of
the redemption date, the principal amount of Debt Securities to be redeemed and the series and terms of the Debt Securities pursuant to which such redemption will occur. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein. If fewer than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the
Company and given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not less than 15 days after the date of notice to the Trustee. 
 On or prior to the redemption date for any Registered Securities, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a paying agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount of money in
the Currency in which such Debt Securities are denominated (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.03) sufficient to pay the redemption price of such Registered Securities or any portions thereof that are to be redeemed on that date.

  

 23 








 If less than all the Debt Securities of like tenor and terms of a series are to be redeemed
(other than pursuant to mandatory sinking fund redemptions), the Trustee shall select, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Debt Securities of that series or portions thereof (in multiples of $1,000) to be
redeemed. In any case where more than one Registered Security of such series is registered in the same name, the Trustee in its discretion may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered as if it were represented by one Registered Security of
such series. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Debt Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Debt Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. If any Debt
Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof on such redemption date, the principal, premium, if any, and interest shall bear interest until paid from the redemption date at the rate borne by the Debt Securities of that
series. If less than all the Debt Securities of unlike tenor and terms of a series are to be redeemed, the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Company. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Debt Securities called
for redemption also apply to portions of Debt Securities called for redemption. 
 SECTION 3.03. PAYMENT OF DEBT SECURITIES
CALLED FOR REDEMPTION. If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.02, the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities of the series with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the
date and at the Place or Places of Payment stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of
such Debt Securities at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued to said date) any interest on the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities of any series so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and any
original issue discount in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities at the Place or Places of Payment in said notice specified, the said Debt Securities or the
specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption. 
 Any Debt Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the corporate trust office or such other office or agency of
the Company as is specified pursuant to Section 2.03 with, if the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Debt Security without service charge, a new Debt Security or Debt
Securities of the same series, of like tenor and form, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Debt Security so surrendered;
except that if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security, without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in
exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered. In the case of a Debt Security providing appropriate space for such notation, at the option of the Holder thereof, the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new
Debt Security or Debt Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation on such Debt Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof. 
  

 24 








 SECTION 3.04. MANDATORY AND OPTIONAL SINKING FUNDS. The minimum amount of any sinking fund
payment provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of any series, resolution of the Board of Directors or a supplemental Indenture 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 Debt Securities of any series, resolution of the Board of Directors or a supplemental Indenture is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. 
 In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Debt Securities of a series in cash, the Company
may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Debt Securities of that series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or (b) receive credit for the principal amount of Debt Securities of that series which have been
redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities, resolution or supplemental Indenture;
PROVIDED, that such Debt Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Debt Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Debt Securities, resolution or supplemental
Indenture for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
 SECTION 3.05. REDEMPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND. Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Debt Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, any resolution or supplemental Indenture, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by
payment of cash in the Currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are denominated (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.03) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Debt Securities of
that series pursuant to this Section 3.05 (which Debt Securities, if not previously redeemed, will accompany such certificate) and whether the Company intends to exercise its right to make any permitted optional sinking fund payment with
respect to such series. Such certificate shall also state that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series. Such certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the
cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Company to deliver such certificate (or to deliver the Debt Securities specified in this paragraph) shall not constitute
a Default, but such failure shall require that the sinking fund payment due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for that series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amount of such Debt
Securities subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the option to deliver or credit Debt Securities as provided in this Section 3.05 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund payment, if any, with respect to such
series. 
 Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding
sinking fund payments made in cash which shall equal or exceed $100,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request) with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund payment

  

 25 








 
date on which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on the sinking fund payment date following the date of such payment) to the redemption of such
Debt Securities at the Redemption Price specified in such Debt Securities, resolution or supplemental Indenture for operation of the sinking fund together with any accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Any sinking fund moneys not so
applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption of Debt Securities shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 3.05. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series held by the Trustee on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Debt Securities of such series and not held for the
payment or redemption of particular Debt Securities shall be applied by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Debt Securities of that series at its
Stated Maturity. 
 The Trustee shall select the Debt Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the
manner specified in the last paragraph of Section 3.02 and the Company shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the manner provided in Section 3.02 except that the notice of redemption shall also state that the Debt
Securities are being redeemed by operation of the sinking fund. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Debt Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03. 
 At least one business day before each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its
own paying agent, the Company shall segregate and hold in trust) in cash a sum in the Currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are denominated (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.03) equal to any interest accrued to the date
fixed for redemption of Debt Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section 3.05. 
 The Trustee shall not redeem any Debt Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of such Debt Securities by operation of the sinking fund for such series during the
continuance of a Default in payment of interest on such Debt Securities or of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph) with respect to such Debt Securities, except that if the notice of
redemption of any such Debt Securities shall theretofore have been mailed in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem such Debt Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee for that
purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article III. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such Default or Event of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter paid into such sinking fund
shall, during the continuance of such Default or Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of such Debt Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in case such Event of Default or Default shall have been cured or waived as provided herein, such
moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next sinking fund payment date for such Debt Securities on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.05. 
  

 26 








 ARTICLE IV 
 Particular Covenants of the Company 
 SECTION 4.01. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL OF, AND
PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST ON, DEBT SECURITIES. The Company, for the benefit of each series of Debt Securities, will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, each of the Debt Securities
at the place, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein and in the Debt Securities. Each installment of interest on the Debt Securities may at the Company’s option be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to the
Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.07(a) to the address of such Person as it appears on the Debt Security Register. 
 Principal, premium and interest of Debt Securities of any series shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or any paying agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay in the Currency in
which the Debt Securities of such series are denominated (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.03) all principal, premium and interest then due. 
 The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Debt Securities and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent
lawful. 
 SECTION 4.02. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICES OR AGENCIES FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND PAYMENT OF DEBT
SECURITIES. The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Debt Securities, an office or agency where Debt Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Debt Securities of such series may be
surrendered for transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture may be served. 
 The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at
any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust office of
the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. The Company may also from time to time designate different or additional offices or agencies to be maintained for
such purposes (in or outside of such Place of Payment), and may from time to time rescind any such designation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations described in the
preceding paragraph. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such additional designation or rescission of designation and any change in the location of any such different or additional office or agency. 
  

 27 








 SECTION 4.03. APPOINTMENT TO FILL A VACANCY IN THE OFFICE OF TRUSTEE. The Company, whenever
necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to each series of Debt Securities. 

SECTION 4.04. DUTIES OF PAYING AGENTS, ETC. 
 (a) The Company shall cause each paying agent, if any, other than the Trustee, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section 4.04, 
 (i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment
of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities of any series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Debt Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the Holders
of the Debt Securities of such series; 
 (ii) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company
(or by any other obligor on the Debt Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable; and 
 (iii) that it will at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the written request of the Trustee,
forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held by it as such agent. 
 (b) If the Company shall act as its own paying agent, it
will, on or before each due date of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, the Debt Securities if any, of any series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series a sum
sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by the Company to take such action or the failure by any other obligor on such Debt Securities to make any
payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, such Debt Securities when the same shall be due and payable. 
 (c) Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the
Trustee all sums held in trust by it or any paying agent, as required by this Section 4.04, 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. 
 (d) Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents with respect to any series of Debt Securities, it will, prior to each due date
of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt Securities of such series, deposit with any such paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal, premium or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit

Holders of Debt Securities of any series any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the Company may, at its option, by resolution of the Board
of Directors, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Debt Securities entitled to take such action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. 
 Any such record date shall be fixed at the Company’s discretion. If such a record date is fixed, such action may be sought or given
before or after the record date, but only the Holders of Debt Securities of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders of Debt Securities for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite
proportion of Debt Securities of such series Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such action, and for that purpose the Debt Securities of such series Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date. 
 ARTICLE VI

 33 








 
during which such judgment or decree is not discharged, waived or the execution thereof stayed and, in the case of (A) or (B), such default continues for 10 days after the date on which
written notice specifying such failure and requiring the Company to remedy the same shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series at the time Outstanding; or 
 (j) any other Event of Default provided
with respect to Debt Securities of that series; 
 then and in each and every case that an Event of Default described in clause
(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (i) or (j) with respect to Debt Securities of that series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, unless the principal of and interest on all the Debt Securities of that series shall have already
become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
Holders), may declare the principal of (or, if the Debt Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and interest on all the Debt
Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities of that series contained to the contrary
notwithstanding. If an Event of Default described in clause (g) or (h) occurs, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of and interest on all the Debt Securities shall have become due and payable, the principal of (or,
if any Debt Securities are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereto) and interest on all the Debt Securities then Outstanding hereunder shall IPSO FACTO become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders, anything in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities contained to the contrary notwithstanding. 
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series by notice to the Trustee may rescind an
acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree already rendered and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely
because of acceleration. Upon any such rescission, the parties hereto shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the parties hereto shall continue as though no proceeding
had been taken. 
 In case the Trustee or any Holder shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such
proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or such Holder, then and in every such case the parties hereto shall be
restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder and all rights, remedies and powers of the parties hereto shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken. 
 The foregoing Events of Default shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether is
voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. 
  

 34 








 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof,
written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (c), (d), (e), (f), (i) or (j), its status and what action the Company
is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 6.02. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS BY TRUSTEE, ETC. If an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid or enforce
the performance of any provision of the Debt Securities of the affected series or this Indenture, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or
any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series (and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to
be payable). 
 In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any
other obligor upon the Debt Securities of any series under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or in case a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall have been appointed for
its property, or in case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of any series, its creditors or its property, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of Debt
Securities of any series 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 pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02, shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest (or, if the Debt Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities,
such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities of such series, 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 reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities Incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its
negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders thereof allowed in any such judicial proceedings relative to the Company, or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of such series, its creditors or its property, and to collect and receive any moneys
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of such Holders and of the Trustee on their behalf, and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization
is hereby authorized by each of such Holders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Holders, to pay to the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover
reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities Incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith. 
  

 35 








 All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Debt
Securities appertaining thereto, of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any such Debt Securities or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment (except for any amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06) shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of
all the Debt Securities in respect of which such action was taken. 
 In case of an Event of Default hereunder the Trustee may
in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the
Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
 SECTION 6.03. APPLICATION OF MONEYS COLLECTED BY TRUSTEE. Any moneys or other property
collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 with respect to Debt Securities of any series shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys or other property, upon
presentation of the several Debt Securities of such series in respect of which moneys or other property 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 money due the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06; 
 SECOND: In case the principal of the Outstanding Debt Securities in respect of which such moneys have been collected shall
not have become due, to the payment of interest on the Debt Securities of such series in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the
overdue installments of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Debt Securities) borne by the Debt Securities of such series, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, without
discrimination or preference; 
 THIRD: In case the principal of the Outstanding Debt Securities in respect of
which such moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Debt Securities of such series for principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest
on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Debt Securities)
borne by the Debt Securities of such series; and, in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Debt Securities of such series, then to the payment of such principal and premium, if any, and
interest, without preference or

  

 36 








 
priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any
Debt Security of such series over any Debt Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and premium, if any, and interest; and 
 FOURTH: The remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Company, its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.03. At least 15
days before such record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 
 SECTION 6.04. LIMITATION ON SUITS BY HOLDERS. No Holder of any Debt Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or
proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the
Trustee written notice of an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of that same series and of the continuance thereof and unless the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that
series shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may
require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be Incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings and no
direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Debt Security with every other Holder and
the Trustee, that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority
over or preference to any other Holders, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all such Holders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of
this Section 6.04, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, however, the right of any Holder of any Debt Security to receive payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.12)
interest on, such Debt Security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debt Security, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 6.05. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; DELAY OR OMISSION IN EXERCISE OF RIGHTS NOT A WAIVER OF DEFAULT.
All powers and remedies given by this Article VI to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the

  

 37 








 
Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the
Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid, shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein; and,
subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the
Holders. 
 SECTION 6.06. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF MAJORITY IN PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF DEBT SECURITIES TO DIRECT TRUSTEE AND TO WAIVE
DEFAULT. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series at the time Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Debt Securities of such series; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture,
and that subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel shall determine that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if
the Trustee shall by a responsible officer or officers determine that the action so directed would involve it in personal liability or would be unjustly prejudicial to Holders of Debt Securities of such series not taking part in such direction; and
PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that nothing in this Indenture contained shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by such Holders. Prior to the acceleration
of the maturity of the Debt Securities of any series, as provided in Section 6.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Debt Securities of that series waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences for that series specified in the terms thereof as contemplated by Section 2.03, except (i) a Default in the payment of the principal of, and
premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Debt Securities and (ii) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected thereby. In case of any such waiver, such
Default shall cease to exist, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debt Securities of that series shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 6.07. TRUSTEE TO GIVE NOTICE OF DEFAULTS KNOWN TO IT, BUT MAY WITHHOLD SUCH NOTICE IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a Default known to it with
respect to a series of Debt Securities give to the Holders thereof, in the manner provided in Section 12.03, notice of all Defaults with respect to such series known to the Trustee, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before
the giving of such notice; PROVIDED, that, except in the case of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Debt Securities of such series or in the making of any sinking or purchase fund payment with
respect to the Debt Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a committee of directors or responsible officers of the Trustee in good
faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders thereof. 
  

 38 








 SECTION 6.08. REQUIREMENT OF AN UNDERTAKING TO PAY COSTS IN CERTAIN SUITS UNDER THE
INDENTURE OR AGAINST THE TRUSTEE. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debt Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of
any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit in the manner and to the
extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act, 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 6.08 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than ten
percent in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt Security on or after the due
date for such payment expressed in such Debt Security. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 Concerning the Trustee 
 SECTION 7.01. CERTAIN DUTIES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in
this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 
 No provision of this Indenture
shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (a) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of the first paragraph of this Section 7.01; 

(b) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of a series and after the curing or
waiving of all Events of Default with respect to such series which may have occurred: 
 (1) the duties and
obligations of the Trustee with respect to Debt Securities of any series shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations with
respect to such series as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to such series shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
  

 39 








 (2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such
certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;
but the Trustee shall examine the evidence furnished to it pursuant to Section 5.03 to determine whether or not such evidence conforms to the requirement of this Indenture; 
 (c) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer, unless it shall be
proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (d) the Trustee shall not be
liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it with respect to Debt Securities of any series in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Debt Securities of that series 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
Debt Securities of such series. 
 None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 Whether or not therein expressly so
provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
 SECTION 7.02. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01: 
 (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
 (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company
Order (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;

  

 40 








 (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice of such counsel or
any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; 
 (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Debt Securities of any series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be Incurred therein or thereby; 
 (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken
or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; 
 (f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, approval or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of a series affected by such matter; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of
the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is not, in the opinion of the Trustee, reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee
may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company
upon demand; 
 (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder
either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder; and 
 (h) if any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to a Lien in favor of the Holders, the Trustee, if and to
the extent authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of
discharging tax Liens or other prior Liens or encumbrances thereon. 
 SECTION 7.03. TRUSTEE NOT LIABLE FOR RECITALS IN
INDENTURE OR IN DEBT SECURITIES. The recitals contained herein, in the Debt Securities (except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no

  

 41 








 
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities of any series, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver
this Indenture, authenticate the Debt Securities and perform its obligations hereunder, and that the statements made by it or to be made by it in a Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-l supplied to the Company are true and accurate.
The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Debt Securities or of the proceeds thereof. 
 SECTION 7.04. TRUSTEE, PAYING AGENT OR REGISTRAR MAY OWN DEBT SECURITIES. The Trustee or any paying agent or Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt
Securities and subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act relating to conflicts of interest and preferential claims may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Registrar.

 SECTION 7.05. MONEYS RECEIVED BY TRUSTEE TO BE HELD IN TRUST. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys
received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time to the Company upon a Company Order.

 SECTION 7.06. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT. The Company covenants and agrees to pay in Dollars to the Trustee from time to
time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and, except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse in Dollars the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents, attorneys and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advances as may arise from its
negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify in Dollars the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense Incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or trusts hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in connection with the exercise or performance of
any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional
Indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. The Company and the Holders agree that such additional Indebtedness shall be secured by a Lien prior to that of the Debt Securities upon all property and
funds held or collected by the Trustee, as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, particular Debt Securities. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) occurs, the
expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law. 
  


 42 








 SECTION 7.07. RIGHT OF TRUSTEE TO RELY ON AN OFFICERS’ CERTIFICATE WHERE NO OTHER
EVIDENCE SPECIFICALLY PRESCRIBED. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively
proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. 
 SECTION 7.08. SEPARATE TRUSTEE; REPLACEMENT OF
TRUSTEE. The Company may, but need not, appoint a separate Trustee for any one or more series of Debt Securities. The Trustee may resign with respect to one or more or all series of Debt Securities at any time by giving notice to the Company. The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series may remove the Trustee for such series and only such series by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee
if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 
 (2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 
 (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 
 (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular
series and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of
this Section 7.08. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and
to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a
notice of its succession to Holders of Debt Securities of each applicable series. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06.

  

 43 








 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee gives
notice of resignation or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of any applicable series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee for the
Debt Securities of such series. 
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Debt Securities of any
applicable series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series. 
 Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.06
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 In the case of the appointment hereunder of a separate or successor
Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series, the Company, any retiring Trustee and each successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an Indenture
supplemental hereto (1) which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of any retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series as to
which any such retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in such retiring Trustee and (2) that 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 separate, retiring or
successor 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. 
 SECTION 7.09. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation
or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 
 In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Debt Securities shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Debt Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debt Securities shall
not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the
full force which it is anywhere in the Debt Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 
 SECTION 7.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set
forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. No obligor upon the Debt Securities of a particular series or Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such obligor shall serve as Trustee
upon the Debt Securities of such series. The Trustee shall comply

  

 44 








 
with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act and, if the Trustee resigns pursuant to Section 310(b)(i) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Company shall take prompt steps to appoint a
successor Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(l) of the Trust Indenture Act this Indenture or any indenture or indentures under which other
securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(l) of the Trust Indenture Act are met. 
 SECTION 7.11. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture
Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent indicated therein.

 SECTION 7.12. COMPLIANCE WITH TAX LAWS. The Trustee hereby agrees to comply with all U.S. Federal income tax information
reporting and withholding requirements applicable to it with respect to payments of premium (if any) and interest on the Debt Securities, whether acting as Trustee, Security Registrar, paying agent or otherwise with respect to the Debt Securities.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 Concerning the Holders 
 SECTION 8.01. EVIDENCE OF ACTION BY HOLDERS. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that
the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any or all series may take action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of
any other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in
person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, (b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02 or (c) by a combination of
such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders. 
 SECTION 8.02. PROOF OF EXECUTION OF
INSTRUMENTS AND OF HOLDING OF DEBT SECURITIES. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 12.11, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable
rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. 
 The
ownership of Registered Securities of any series shall be proved by the Debt Security Register or by a certificate of the Registrar for such series. 
 The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 8.02 as it shall deem necessary. 
  


 45 








 SECTION 8.03. WHO MAY BE DEEMED OWNER OF DEBT SECURITIES. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Registered Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Registered Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute
owner of such Registered Security (whether or not such Registered Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and
premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.03) interest on such Registered Security and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; and
all such payments so made to any such Holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Registered Security.

 None of the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent or the Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect
of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 SECTION 8.04. INSTRUMENTS EXECUTED BY HOLDERS BIND FUTURE HOLDERS. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as
provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action and subject to the following
paragraph, any Holder of a Debt Security which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debt Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its corporate trust office and upon
proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders and owners of such Debt Security and of any Debt Security issued upon transfer thereof or in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debt Security or such
other Debt Securities. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company,
the Trustee and the Holders of all the Debt Securities of such series. 
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a
record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give their consent or take any other action required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the
immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders of Registered Securities at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given
or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders of Registered Securities after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the
Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series specified in this Indenture shall have been received within such 120-day period. 
  

 46 








 ARTICLE IX 
 Supplemental Indentures 
 SECTION 9.01. PURPOSES FOR WHICH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
MAY BE ENTERED INTO WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS. The Company, when authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time, without the consent of Holders, enter into an Indenture or Indentures

 (b) to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company, to add to the covenants of the Company such further
covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the Holders of all or any series of Debt Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Debt Securities, stating that such covenants are
expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) as the Board of Directors shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of such Debt Securities, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a Default in
any of such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions a Default or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture; PROVIDED, that in respect of any such additional
covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental Indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after Default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other Defaults) or may provide for an
immediate enforcement upon such Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of any or all series of Debt Securities to waive such
default; 
 (c) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein, in any
supplemental Indenture or in any Debt Securities of any series that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein, in any supplemental Indenture or in the Debt Securities of such series; to convey, transfer, assign,
mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Trustee, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture as shall not adversely affect the interests of any Holders of Debt Securities of any series;

 (d) to modify or amend this Indenture in such a manner as to permit the qualification of this Indenture or any
Indenture supplemental hereto under the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect, except that nothing herein contained shall permit or authorize the inclusion in any Indenture supplemental hereto of the provisions referred to in Section 316(a)(2)
of the Trust Indenture Act; 
  

 47 








 (e) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to change or
eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, Debt Securities; PROVIDED, that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Debt Securities of any series in any material
respect or permit or facilitate the issuance of Debt Securities of any series in uncertificated form; 
 (f) to
evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company herein and in the Debt Securities; 
 (g) to add Guarantees with respect to the Debt Securities or to secure the Debt Securities; 
 (h) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of Debt
Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such addition, change or elimination not otherwise permitted under this Section 9.01 shall (i) neither (A) apply to any Debt Security of any series created prior to the execution of such
supplemental Indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (B) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Debt Security with respect to such provision or (ii) shall become effective only when there is no such Debt Security
Outstanding; 
 (i) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor or
separate Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
Trustee; and 
 (j) to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01
and 2.03. 
 The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental Indenture, to
make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such
supplemental Indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Any supplemental Indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 9.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Debt Securities appertaining thereto at the time Outstanding,
notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02. 
 After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to Holders of Debt Securities of each series affected thereby a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all such Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the
validity of an amendment under this Section 9.01. 
  

 48 








 SECTION 9.02. MODIFICATION OF INDENTURE WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF DEBT SECURITIES. Without
notice to any Holder but with the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such supplemental
Indenture, the Company, when authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an Indenture or Indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental Indenture or of modifying in any manner
the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series; PROVIDED, that no such supplemental Indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Debt Security so affected, shall (i) reduce the percentage in principal amount of Debt
Securities of any series whose Holders must consent to an amendment; (ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Debt Security; (iii) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Debt Security;

stated in the Debt Security; (vi) release any security that may have been granted in respect of the Debt Securities; or (vii) make any change in Section 6.06 or this Section 9.02. 
 A supplemental Indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has been expressly included
solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under
this Indenture of the Holders of Debt Securities of any other series. 
 Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy
of a resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution
of such supplemental Indenture unless such supplemental Indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into
such supplemental Indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed supplemental Indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders of Debt Securities of each series affected thereby a notice briefly describing such amendment. The
failure to give such notice to all such Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.02.

amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced

  

 49 








 
hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental Indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and
conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 
 The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, may
receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such supplemental Indenture complies with the provisions of this Article IX. 
 SECTION 9.04. DEBT SECURITIES MAY BEAR NOTATION OF CHANGES BY SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. Debt Securities of any series authenticated and
delivered after the execution of any supplemental Indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX 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. New Debt Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental Indenture may be prepared and executed by the
Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Debt Security of such series shall not affect the validity of such
amendment.

merger, or conveyance or transfer of the assets of the Company as an entirety or virtually as an entirety in accordance with Section 10.01, the Successor Company shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it
had been named herein as the party of the first part, and the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of any further obligation under the Indenture and the Securities. The Successor Company thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in
its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all the Debt Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of the Successor Company, instead of the
Company, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Debt Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company
to the Trustee for authentication, and any Debt Securities which the Successor Company thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Debt Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal
rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Debt Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all such Debt Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
 In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the
Debt Securities appertaining thereto thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance; Unclaimed Moneys 
 SECTION 11.01. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. If, pursuant to Section 2.03, provision is made for the defeasance of Debt Securities of a
series, then the provisions of this Article XI relating to defeasance of Debt Securities shall be applicable except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for Debt Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 11.02. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE. 
 (a) If at any time (i) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Debt Securities of any series theretofore
authenticated and delivered (other than (1) any Debt Securities of such series which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09 and (2) Debt Securities for whose
payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company as provided in Section 11.05) or (ii) all Debt Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become
due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, and the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee as trust funds the entire amount in the Currency in which such Debt Securities are denominated (except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.03) sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Debt Securities of such
series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and premium, if any, and interest

  

 51 








 
due or to become due on such date of maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, and if in either case the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the
Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of such Debt Securities herein expressly provided for and rights to receive payments of principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on, such Debt Securities with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, and the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense
of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture. 
 (b) Subject to
Sections 11.02(c), 11.03 and 11.07, the Company at any time may terminate, with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series, (i) all its obligations under the Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture with respect to the Debt
Securities of such series (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations with respect to the Debt Securities of such series under Section 10.01 and the related operation of Section 6.01(d) and the operation of Sections
4.05 and 6.01(e), (f), (i) and (j) (and, if specified pursuant to Section 2.03, any other obligation of the Company or restrictive covenant added for the benefit of such series pursuant to Section 2.03) (“covenant defeasance
option”). The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. 
 If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Company exercises its covenant
defeasance option, payment of the Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(d), (e), (f), (i) and (j) (and, if specified pursuant to Section 2.03, any other
obligation of the Company or restrictive covenant added for the benefit of such series pursuant to Section 2.03) (except to the extent covenants or agreements referenced in such Sections remain applicable). 
 Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge
of those obligations that the Company terminates. 
 (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company’s
obligations in Sections 2.07, 2.09, 4.02, 4.04, 5.01, 7.06, 7.10, 11.05, 11.06 and 11.07 shall survive until the Debt Securities of the defeased series have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.06, 11.05 and
11.06 shall survive. 
 SECTION 11.03. CONDITIONS OF DEFEASANCE. The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its
covenant defeasance option with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series only if: 
 (1) the Company
irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt Securities of such series to maturity or redemption, as the case maybe; 

 

 52 








 (2) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally
recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide
cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay the principal, premium and interest when due on all the Debt Securities of such series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
 (3) 123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or
(h) with respect to the Company occurs which is continuing at the end of the period; 
 (4) no Default has
occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit and after giving effect thereto; 
 (5) the deposit does
not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Company; 
 (6) the Company delivers to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; 
 (7) in the event of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
stating that (i) the Company has received from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case of the effect that, and based
thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the
same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred; 
 (8) in the event of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; and

 (9) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Debt Securities of such series as contemplated by this Article XI have been compiled with.

authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Debt Securities of the defeased series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to this Article XI until such time as the Trustee or any paying agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article XI.
