DEFINITIONS
AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE


 


SECTION
1.01 Definitions.


 


“Adjusted
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” or “ACNTA” means (without duplication), as of the date of determination,
(a) the sum of (i) discounted future net revenue from proved oil and gas reserves of the Company and its Subsidiaries
calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines before any state or federal income taxes, as estimated by petroleum engineers (which
may include the Company’s internal engineers) in a reserve report prepared as of the end of the Company’s most recently
completed fiscal year, as increased by, as of the date of determination, the discounted future net revenue of (A) estimated
proved oil and gas reserves of the Company and its Subsidiaries attributable to any acquisition consummated since the date of
such year-end reserve report, and (B) estimated proved oil and gas reserves of the Company and its Subsidiaries attributable
to extensions, discoveries and other additions and upward revisions of estimates of proved oil and gas reserves due to exploration,
development or exploitation, production or other activities conducted or otherwise occurring since the date of such year-end reserve
report, which, in the case of sub-clauses (A) and (B), would, in accordance with standard industry practice, result in such
increases as calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines (utilizing the prices utilized in such year-end reserve report), and
decreased by, as of the date of determination, the discounted future net revenue of (C) estimated proved oil and gas reserves
of the Company and its Subsidiaries produced or disposed of since the date of such year-end reserve report and (D) reductions
in the estimated oil and gas reserves of the Company and its Subsidiaries since the date of such year-end reserve report attributable
to downward revisions of estimates of proved oil and gas reserves due to exploration, development or exploitation, production
or other activities conducted or otherwise occurring since the date of such year-end reserve report which, in the case of sub-clauses
(C) and (D), would, in accordance with standard industry practice, result in such decreases as calculated in accordance with
SEC guidelines (utilizing the prices utilized in such year-end reserve report); provided that, in the case of each of the
determinations made pursuant to clauses (A) through (D), such increases and decreases may be estimated by the Company’s
engineers, (ii) the capitalized costs that are attributable to oil and gas properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries
to which no proved oil and gas reserves are attributable, based on the Company’s books and records as of a date no earlier
than the date of the Company’s latest annual or quarterly financial statements, (iii) the Net Working Capital on a
date no earlier than the date of the Company’s latest annual or quarterly financial statements and (iv) the greater
of (I) the net book value on a date no earlier than the date of the Company’s latest annual or quarterly financial
statements and (II) the appraised value, as estimated by independent appraisers, of other tangible assets (including Investments
in unconsolidated Subsidiaries) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as of a date no earlier than the date of the Company’s
latest audited financial statements, minus (b) the sum of (i) minority interests, (ii) any gas balancing liabilities
of the Company and its Subsidiaries reflected as a long-term liability in the Company’s latest annual or quarterly financial
statements, (iii) the discounted future net revenue, calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines (utilizing the prices utilized
in the Company’s year-end reserve report), attributable to reserves which are required to be delivered to third parties
to fully satisfy the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to Volumetric Production Payments on the schedules
specified with respect thereto, (iv) the discounted future net revenue, calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines, attributable
to reserves subject to Dollar-Denominated Production Payments which, based on the estimates of production included in determining
the discounted future net revenue specified in (a) (i) above (utilizing the same prices utilized in the Company’s
year-end reserve report), would be necessary to fully satisfy the payment obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries with
respect to Dollar-Denominated Production Payments on the schedules specified with respect thereto and (v) the discounted
future net revenue, calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines (utilizing the same prices utilized in the Company’s year-end
reserve report), attributable to reserves subject to participation interests, overriding royalty interests or other interests
of third parties, pursuant to participation, partnership, vendor financing or other agreements then in effect, or which otherwise
are required to be delivered to third parties. If the Company changes its method of accounting from the full cost method to the
successful efforts method or a similar method of accounting, Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets will continue to be calculated
as if the Company were still using the full cost method of accounting.

in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with
their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, preference, reorganization, moratorium, rehabilitation, or
similar laws and legal principles relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity.

The Trustee shall
not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s
own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee.


 


If any Security shall
have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security
to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.14, such Security shall for all purposes of this Indenture
be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.


 


The Trustee may appoint
an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities of any series. Unless limited by the terms
of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate 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 under
Section 7.03 to deal with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion
Agent.


 


Each Security shall
be dated the date of its authentication.


 


SECTION 2.06 Registrar,
Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities of a series may be presented
for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where Securities of a series
may be presented for redemption or repurchase, if applicable, and for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and, with
respect to any series of Securities that is convertible in accordance with the applicable provisions of such Securities, an office
or agency where Securities of such series may be presented for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”). The Registrar
shall keep a register of each series of Securities and of their transfer and exchange (the “Register”). The
Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents or conversion agents for any series of Securities.
With respect to any series of Securities, the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent, the term “Registrar”
includes any additional co-registrar and the term “Conversion Agent” includes any additional conversion agent.


 


The Company shall
enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent not a party to this Indenture,
which shall incorporate the applicable terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate
to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent and shall furnish the Trustee with
an executed counterpart of any such agency agreement. With respect to any series of Securities, the Company at any time may replace
any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent or change the location of any such office or agency without notice to any Holder.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such replacement or change in location. With respect to any series
of Securities, if the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, if applicable, the Trustee shall
act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any
Subsidiary incorporated or organized within the United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar.


 




    -16-


     


    

 


Unless otherwise
provided for a series of securities, the Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and, if applicable,
Conversion Agent in connection with the Securities.


 


SECTION 2.07 Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) for any series of Securities
to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying
Agent for the payment of principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Securities of such series and shall notify the Trustee
of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent for any series of
Securities, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to
account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability
for the money delivered to the Trustee.


 


SECTION 2.08 Holder
Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of
the names and addresses of Holders of any series of Securities. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish
to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee
may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses
of Holders of the relevant series of Securities.


 


SECTION 2.09 Transfer
and Exchange. The Securities of any series shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of
transfer. When a Security is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the
transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and any reasonable regulations prescribed by the Company or the Registrar
are met. When Securities (other than Global Securities) are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal
principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements
are met.


 


To permit registrations
of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate at the Registrar’s request one or
more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor.


 


No service charge
shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes,
assessments or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange not involving any transfer pursuant to Section 3.07).


 


The Registrar
shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Security of a series for a period beginning 15 Business
Days before the mailing of a notice of redemption or of an offer to repurchase Securities of that series and ending at the
close of business on the date of such mailing, or for a period beginning 15 Business Days before an interest payment date and
ending on the close of business on such interest payment date, or of any Security selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.


 



    -17-


     


    

 


Except as otherwise
provided or contemplated by Section 2.03 with respect to a series of Securities, prior to the due presentation for
registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name a
Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, and any premium
and interest on, such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the
Company, the Trustee or any Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


All Securities issued
upon any registration of transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.


 


SECTION 2.10 Replacement
Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security
has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security
if the Holder satisfies the reasonable requirements of the Company and the Trustee. If required by the Company or the Trustee,
such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond or other security sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect
the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any Conversion Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if
a Security is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security.


 


Every replacement
Security is an additional obligation of the Company.


 


SECTION 2.11 Outstanding
Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by
it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except to the extent provided
in the last paragraph of this Section 2.11, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate
of the Company holds the Security.


 


If a Security is
replaced pursuant to Section 2.10, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory
to them that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.


 


If the Paying Agent
for a series of Securities holds on a redemption date or the Maturity Date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable
on that date with respect to the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be,
then on and after that date such Securities of such series (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases
to accrue.


 


If the principal
amount of any Security is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases
to accrue.


 




    -18-


     


    

 


Securities with respect
to which the Company has effected legal defeasance or covenant defeasance as provided in Article Eight, cease to be
outstanding except to the extent provided in Sections 8.03 and 8.04.


 


In determining whether
the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a series have given any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, (A) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that shall
be deemed to be outstanding shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination
upon acceleration of the maturity thereof on such date pursuant to Section 6.02, (B) the principal amount of a
Security denominated in one or more currencies or currency units other than U.S. dollars shall be the U.S. dollar equivalent of
such currencies or currency units, determined in the manner provided as contemplated by Section 2.03 on the date of
original issuance of such Security, of the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the U.S. dollar
equivalent (as so determined) on the date of original issuance of such Security, of the amount determined as provided in Clause
(A) above) of such Security, and (C) Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any
Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver,
only Securities which a Trust Officer knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned as described in clause
(C) above which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction
of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any
other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.


 


SECTION 2.12 Temporary
Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate
temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations
that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the
Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities and deliver them in exchange for temporary Securities.

SECTION 2.13 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 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 shall, in accordance
with Section 2.05, authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or Securities, which shall represent, and shall be
denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the outstanding 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 of
the Company, shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, shall be
delivered by the Trustee or its agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and shall bear a legend
substantially to the following effect (or to such effect as may be required by the Depositary):


 


UNLESS
THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”),
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS
REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY
PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO., OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC) ANY TRANSFER,
PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE &
CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.


 


TRANSFERS
OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR
SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF.


 


(b) Members of, or
participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”), and any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security,
shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to or under such Global Security, and the Company, the Trustee and any agent
of the Company or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depositary or its nominee as the absolute owner of such Global Security
for all purposes whatsoever.


 


(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture and except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities as contemplated
by Section 2.03, no Global Security may be transferred to, or registered or exchanged for Securities registered in
the name of, any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee thereof, and no such transfer may be
registered, except as provided in this paragraph. Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of,
or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security shall be a Global Security, except as provided in this paragraph. If (1) (A) the
Depositary for a Global Security notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global
Security or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and (B) a successor Depositary is not appointed
by the Company within 90 days, (2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of such
series and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue certificated securities in lieu of all or a portion
of the Global Securities of such series (in which case the Company shall deliver certificated securities within 30 days of such
request) or (3) the Company determines in its sole discretion that Securities of a series issued in global form shall no longer
be represented by a Global Security, then such Global Security may be exchanged by such Depositary for certificated Securities
of the same series, of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, registered in the names
of, and the transfer of such Global Security or portion thereof may be registered to, such Persons as such Depositary shall direct.


  



    -20-


     


    

 


(d) The Trustee shall
have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Security, or interest therein, Agent Member or other Person
with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Agent Member, with respect to any ownership
interest in Global Securities or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than
the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such
Securities.


 


SECTION 2.14 Cancellation.
The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward
to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else
shall cancel and dispose of (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Securities surrendered for registration
of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in its customary manner and upon written request shall deliver a certificate of
such disposal to the Company unless the Company directs the Trustee to deliver canceled Securities to the Company. Any Securities
purchased by the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, be reissued or resold or may, at its option, be surrendered to the
Trustee for cancellation. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
except as expressly permitted by the terms of the Securities of any series.


 


SECTION 2.15 Defaulted
Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities of any series, the Company shall pay, unless otherwise
provided with respect to the Securities of such series as permitted by Section 2.03, defaulted interest (plus interest
on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the rate borne by such Securities in any lawful manner. The Company may pay
the defaulted interest to the persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be
fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause
to be mailed to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest
to be paid.


 


SECTION 2.16 CUSIP
Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the
Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however,
that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities
or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall
notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.


 


ARTICLE THREE


 


REDEMPTION


 


SECTION 3.01 Applicability
of Article. Unless otherwise provided for a series of Securities, the provisions of Sections 3.02 through 3.07
shall be applicable to Securities of any series which are redeemable in accordance with their terms before their Maturity Date.


 



    -21-


     


    

 


SECTION 3.02 Notice
to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem all or any part of a series of Securities pursuant to the applicable provisions
of such Securities or a supplemental indenture relating to such Securities, it shall furnish to the Trustee and the Registrar,
at least 45 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date (unless the Trustee consents in writing to a shorter period),
an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the redemption date, the principal amount of Securities of each series to be redeemed
and the redemption price for each series of Securities to be redeemed.


 


SECTION 3.03 Selection
of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all of the Securities of a series are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall
select the particular Securities of such series to be redeemed pro rata, by lot or, if the Securities of such series are listed
on any securities exchange, by any other method that complies with the requirements of such exchange; provided, however,
that no Securities with a principal amount of $1,000 or less will be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from
outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
redemption date. Securities and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000, except
that if all of the Securities of a series of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of such Securities held
by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of any
series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of such series called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify
the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities selected for redemption.


 


SECTION 3.04 Notice
of Redemption. (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice
of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address. The notice
shall state:


 


(1) the
redemption date;


 


(2) the
redemption price;


 


(3) the
aggregate principal amount of Securities being redeemed;


 


(4) the
name and address of the Paying Agent;


 


(5) that
Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent at the address specified in such notice to collect the
redemption price, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;


 


(6) that,
unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price or any accrued interest on Securities called for redemption
ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date and the only remaining right of the Holders is to receive payment of the redemption
price in respect of the Securities upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Securities;


 




    -22-


     


    

 


(7) if
fewer than all of the outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Securities to
be redeemed, and if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed
and that, after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to
the unredeemed portion will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the Security or Securities being redeemed;


 


(8) the
CUSIP number, if any, of the Securities to be redeemed; and


 


(9) any
other information required by such Securities or a supplemental indenture relating to such Securities.


 


(b) At the Company’s
request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption required in Section 3.04(a) in the Company’s name and
at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 15 days
prior to the date on which the Company requests that the Trustee give such notice (unless the Trustee consents in writing to a
shorter notice period), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information
to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.04(a).


 


SECTION 3.05 Effect
of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.04, Securities called
for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such
Securities shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date;
provided, however, that installments of interest that are due and payable on or prior to the redemption date shall
be payable to the Holders of such Securities, registered as such, at the close of business on the relevant record date for the
payment of such installment of interest. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the
validity of the notice to any other Holder.


 


SECTION 3.06 Deposit
of Redemption Price. Prior to 11:00 a.m., ________ time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying
Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) funds available on the redemption
date sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date on,
the Securities to be redeemed on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money so deposited which
is not required for that purpose upon the written request of the Company, except with respect to monies owed as obligations to
the Trustee pursuant to Article Seven.


 


Unless the Company
defaults in making such payment, interest on the Securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the applicable redemption date,
whether or not such Securities are presented for payment. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon redemption
because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest will continue to be payable on the unpaid
principal and any premium including from the redemption date until such principal and any premium is paid, and, to the extent lawful,
on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities and in Section 4.01
hereof.


 




    -23-


     


    

 


SECTION 3.07 Securities
Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is to be redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate for the Holder, at the expense of the Company, a new Security equal in aggregate amount to the unredeemed portion
of the Security surrendered.


 


SECTION 3.08 Mandatory
and Optional Sinking Funds. The provisions of Sections 3.08 and 3.09 shall be applicable to any sinking fund
for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Securities
of such series.


 


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


 


In lieu of making
all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its
option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of that series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company and
(b) receive credit for the principal amount of Securities of that series which have been redeemed either at the election of
the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant
to the terms of such Securities; provided, that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall
be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in the terms of such Securities for
redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.


 


SECTION 3.09 Redemption
of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities
(unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), 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, the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency in which the Securities of such series are denominated
and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.08
(which 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. Failure of the Company to deliver such certificate
(or to deliver the 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 Securities subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the option
to deliver or credit Securities as provided in Section 3.08 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund
payment, if any, with respect to such series.


 




    -24-


     


    

 


The Trustee shall
select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.03, and
the Company shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the manner provided in Section 3.04 except
that the notice of redemption shall also state that the Securities are being redeemed by operation of the sinking fund. Such notice
having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.06.


 


ARTICLE FOUR


 


COVENANTS


 


SECTION 4.01 Payment
of Securities. The Company, for the benefit of each series of Securities, shall pay the principal of, and any premium and interest
on, the Securities of such series on the dates and in the manner provided in the terms of the Securities of such series and this
Indenture. Principal or redemption price, and any premium and interest with respect to a series of Securities shall be considered
paid on the date due if the Trustee or Paying Agent holds on that date money deposited by the Company designated for and sufficient
to pay such principal, redemption price, premium and interest as is then due with respect to such series of Securities.


 


The Company, for
the benefit of each series of Securities, shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy
Law) on overdue principal, and any premium, at the rate borne by the Securities of such series (or at the rate prescribed therefor
in the terms of the Securities of such series) to the extent lawful; and it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest
in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period)
at the same rate to the extent lawful.


 


SECTION 4.02 SEC
Reports. The Company, within 15 days after it files the same with the SEC, shall deliver to the Trustee copies of the annual
reports and the information, documents and other reports (or copies of any such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may
by rules and regulations prescribe) that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act; provided that any such annual reports, information, documents or other reports filed or furnished with the Commission
pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (or “EDGAR”) system shall be deemed to be delivered
to the Trustee as of the time such information, documents or reports are filed or furnished via EDGAR. Notwithstanding that the
Company may not be required to remain subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the
Company shall file with the SEC (to the extent such filings are accepted by the SEC) and provide the Trustee with such annual reports
and such information, documents and other reports specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, subject to the proviso
in the immediately preceding sentence. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall also comply with the provisions of TIA Section 314(a).
Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt
of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).


 




    -25-


     


    

 


SECTION 4.03 Compliance
Certificates.


 


(a) The Company shall
deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers’ Certificate, stating
that a review of the activities of the Company and the Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision
of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors has kept, observed,
performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate,
that, to the best of such Officers’ knowledge, each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors has kept, observed, performed
and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any
of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults
or Events of Default of which such Officers may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto).


 


(b) The Company will,
so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default
or Event of Default or default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, an Officers’
Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.


 


SECTION 4.04 Maintenance
of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities, an office or agency where
Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment, and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that 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 address of the Trustee set forth in Section 13.02
or at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.


 


Subject to Section 2.03,
the Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series
may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided,
that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency
in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee
of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Except as otherwise
specified with respect to a series of Securities as contemplated by Section 2.03, the Company hereby initially designates

SECTION 4.06 Waiver
of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time
insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension, or usury law or
other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of, and any premium and interest
on, the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants
or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit
or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted
to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

delinquent, (a) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or upon the income, profits
or property of the Company and (b) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become
a Lien upon the property of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge
or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment or charge whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not disadvantageous in any material respect
to the Holders.


 


SECTION 4.08 Maintenance
of Properties and Insurance.

cause all properties used or held for use in the conduct of its business to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and

repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so
that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any such
property, or disposing of it, if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of
its business and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.


 


(b) The Company
shall provide or cause to be provided insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds
that, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the Company, are adequate and appropriate for the conduct of the business of
the Company in a prudent manner, with reputable insurers or with the government of the United States or an agency or
instrumentality thereof, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and by such methods as shall be customary, in the
reasonable, good faith opinion of the Company, for corporations similarly situated in the industry.

and ratably secured for so long as such Funded Debt shall be so secured; provided, that if such Funded Debt is expressly
subordinated to the Securities of a series or any related Guarantee, the Lien securing such Funded Debt will be subordinated and
junior to the Lien securing such Securities or such Guarantee.


 


(b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 4.09(a), the Company may create, incur or assume Funded Debt secured by Liens which would
otherwise be subject to the restrictions of such section, if the aggregate principal amount of such Funded Debt and all other
Funded Debt of the Company created, incurred or assumed pursuant to the exception in this Section 4.09(b) and outstanding
at such time does not exceed 15% of the Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company.

SECTION 6.02 Acceleration.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (5) or (6)) under Section 6.01
occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of a series, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of
not less than 25% of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series may declare the unpaid principal of (or,
if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities
as may be specified in the terms thereof), and any premium and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities of such series
then outstanding to be due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee, if given by Holders), and upon
any such declaration such principal (or other specified amount), and any premium and accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately
due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clauses (5) or (6) of Section 6.01 above occurs, all
unpaid principal of, and any premium and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Securities then outstanding will become due and payable,
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.


 


The Holders of a
majority of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a series with respect to which a declaration of acceleration
has been made, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration and its
consequences if (1) the Company has paid or deposited with such Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue installments
of interest on all the Securities of such series, (B) the principal of, and any premium and interest on, any Securities of
such series that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed
therefor in the Securities of such series, (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on the defaulted
interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Securities of such series, and (D) all money paid or advanced by
the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel;
(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of, and any
premium and interest on, any Securities of such series that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been
cured or waived as provided in this Indenture; and (3) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction. No such rescission will affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.


 


SECTION 6.03 Other
Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to any series of Securities, the Trustee may, but is
not obligated to, pursue, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity
to collect the payment of principal or interest on the Securities of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision
of the Securities of such series or this Indenture. If an Event of Default specified under clauses (5) or (6) of Section 6.01
occurs with respect to the Company at a time when the Company is the Paying Agent, the Trustee shall assume the duties of Paying
Agent.


 


The Trustee may maintain
a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission
by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available
remedies are cumulative.

respect to such series and its consequences, except an Event of Default under clauses (1) and (2) of Section 6.01.


 


SECTION 6.05 Control
by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a series will 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 such Trustee with respect to Securities of such series, provided that (1) such direction is not in conflict
with any rule of law or with this Indenture and (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by such Trustee that
is not inconsistent with such direction.


 


SECTION 6.06 Limitation
on Remedies. No Holder of any of the Securities of a series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise,
to appoint a receiver or trustee or to pursue any remedy under this Indenture, unless:


 


(1) such
Holder has previously given notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to such series,


 


(2) the
Holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series have made written request to
such Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under this Indenture,


 


(3) such
Holder or Holders have offered to such Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities
to be incurred in compliance with such request,


 


(4) such
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any proceeding, and


 


(5) no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to such Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority
of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series.


 


A Holder may not
use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over other Holders.


 


SECTION 6.07 Rights
of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Holder of any Securities will have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Securities on the Maturity
therefor and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right may not be impaired without the consent
of such Holder.


 


SECTION 6.08 Collection
Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of principal or any premium or interest specified in paragraphs
(1) or (2) of Section 6.01 in respect of a series of Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal
and any premium and interest then due and remaining unpaid with respect to the Securities of such series, and interest on
overdue principal and any premium, and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest, and such further amounts as shall
be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel.

SECTION 6.09 Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim.


 


(a) The Trustee may
file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, their creditors or their property and may collect
and receive any money or securities or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.


 


(b) Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize
the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.


 


SECTION 6.10 Priorities.
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article Six with respect to Securities of any series, it shall pay out
the money in the following order:


 


First: to the Trustee
for amounts due under Section 7.07;


 


Second: to Holders
for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities of such series for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority
of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such series for principal and interest, respectively;
and


 


Third: to the Company.


 


The Trustee may fix
a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.


 


SECTION 6.11 Undertaking
for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for
any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by
a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities of any series.

SECTION 7.01 Duties
of Trustee.


 


(a) If an Event of
Default with respect to any series of Securities has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Securities
of such series such rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in such exercise
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.


 


(b) Except during
the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities:

the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of certificates or opinions specifically required
by any provision hereof to be furnished to it, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or
not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations

the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder

or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent,
order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation
into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation,
it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney, to the extent
reasonably required by such inquiry or investigation at the expense of the Company and shall incur no liability of any kind by
reason of such inquiry or investigation.

powers under this Indenture.

and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and reliance thereon.


 


(f) In no event shall
the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including,

and regardless of the form of action.

such notice references the Securities and this Indenture.


 


(h) The rights, privileges,
protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended
to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other person employed

direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and resolution
of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution.


 


SECTION 7.03 Individual
Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may
otherwise deal with the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any
Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.


 


SECTION 7.04 Trustee’s
Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall

SECTION 7.05 Notice
of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any series and if it is known to the Trustee,
the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of Securities of such series pursuant to Section 13.02 a notice of the Default
within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in any payment on any Security of such series, the Trustee

by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each April 1, beginning with the April 1 following the date of this
Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such April 1 that complies with TIA Section 313(a),
but only if such report is required in any year under TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Sections 313(b)
and 313(c). A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on

listed on any national securities exchange or of any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.07 Compensation
and Indemnity. The Company agrees to pay the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services as shall be
agreed upon from time to time in writing between the Company and the Trustee (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision
of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust). The Company agrees to reimburse the Trustee upon request
for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred by it. Such expenses shall include when applicable
the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.


 


The Trustee shall
not be under any obligation to institute any suit, or take any remedial action under this Indenture, or to enter any appearance
or in any way defend any suit in which it may be a defendant, or to take any steps in the execution of the trusts created hereby
or thereby or in the enforcement of any rights and powers under this Indenture, until it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction
against any and all expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provisions of this
Indenture, including compensation for services, costs, expenses, outlays, counsel fees and other disbursements, and against all
liability (including fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of Section 7.08) determined
not to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee against any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance and administration of the
trust and its duties hereunder as Trustee, Registrar and/or Paying Agent, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture
against the Company (including with respect to this Section 7.07) and of defending itself against any claim or liability
in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company of
any claim of which a Trust Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity; however, the failure of the Trustee
to promptly notify the Company shall not limit its right to indemnification. The Company shall defend each such claim and the Trustee
shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may retain separate counsel and the Company shall reimburse the Trustee for the reasonable
fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld).


 


The Company shall
not be obligated to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability, claim or damage incurred by the Trustee determined
to have been caused by the Trustee’s own negligence or willful misconduct. To secure the payment obligations of the Company
in this Section, the Trustee shall have a claim prior to that of the Holders of the Securities on all money or property held or
collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on, or the redemption price of, particular
Securities. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.07 shall not be subordinate
to any other liability or Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor.


 


When the Trustee
incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in clauses (6) or (7) of Section 6.01,
the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

The benefits of this
section shall survive termination of this Indenture and resignation or removal of the Trustee.


 


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 Securities.
The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Securities of a particular series may remove the Trustee for such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in
writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:


 


(1) the Trustee fails
to comply with Section 7.10;


 


(2) the Trustee is
adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;


 


(3) a receiver or
other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or


 


(4) the Trustee becomes
incapable of acting as Trustee hereunder.


 


If the Trustee for
a series of Securities resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of such series of Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee for such series appointed
by the Company.


 


A successor Trustee
shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors.
Immediately after that and upon payment of its charges hereunder, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as
Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07, 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. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder of Securities of the applicable series.


 


If a successor Trustee
does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of any applicable series of Securities may petition, at the expense of the Company, any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee for such series.


 


If the Trustee fails
to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Securities of the applicable series may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee shall comply with
TIA Section 310(a)(5).


 


SECTION 7.09 Successor
Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its
corporate trust assets to, another corporation or national association, the successor corporation or national association without
any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that such corporation or national association shall be otherwise eligible
and qualified under this Article and shall notify the Company of its successor hereunder.

annual report of condition. The Trustee shall also comply with TIA Section 310(b).


 


SECTION 7.11 Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship
listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the
extent indicated therein.


 


ARTICLE EIGHT


 


DEFEASANCE


 


SECTION 8.01 Applicability
of Article. The provisions of this Article Eight shall be applicable to each series of Securities except as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for Securities of such series.


 


SECTION 8.02 Option
to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a
resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, with respect to the Securities of a series, elect to exercise
its rights pursuant to either Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to all outstanding Securities of such series
upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Eight.


 


SECTION 8.03 Legal
Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.02 of the option applicable to
this Section 8.03 with respect to a series of Securities, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged
from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Securities of such series on the date all conditions set forth below are
satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the
Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities of the
applicable series and any Guarantees thereof, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the
purposes of Section 8.06 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of
this Section 8.03, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture
(and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same),
except for the following which shall survive such satisfaction and discharge until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of such series to receive solely from the trust fund
described in Section 8.06, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of,
and any premium and interest on, such Securities when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with
respect to such Securities under Sections 2.06, 2.09, 2.10, 2.12 and 4.04,
(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in
connection therewith (including, but not limited to, Section 7.07) and (d) this Article Eight.
Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.03 notwithstanding
the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.04 with respect to the Securities of a series.


 


SECTION 8.04 Covenant
Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.02 of the option applicable to this Section 8.04
with respect to a series of Securities, the Company shall be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.02,
4.03, 4.07, 4.08 and 4.09 and Article Five with respect to the outstanding Securities of such
series on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”),
and the Securities of such series shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver,
consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue
to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be
deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding
Securities of the applicable series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition
or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any
such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified
above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise
under Section 8.02 of the option applicable to this Section 8.04, with respect to a series of Securities,
clauses (3) through (7) of Section 6.01 shall not constitute Events of Default with regard to such Securities.


 


SECTION 8.05 Conditions

Section 8.04 to the outstanding Securities of a series:


 


(a) The Company shall
irrevocably have deposited or cause to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 7.10
who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article Eight applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose
of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of
Securities of such series, (a) cash in U.S. Legal Tender in an amount, or (b) U.S. Government Securities which through
the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than
one day before the due date of any payment, cash in U.S. Legal Tender in an amount, or (c) a combination thereof, in such
amounts, as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay (i) the principal of, and any
premium and interest on, the outstanding Securities of such series on each date on which such principal or any premium or interest
is due and payable or on any redemption date established pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.06, and (ii) any
mandatory sinking fund payments on the dates on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
and of such Securities; provided that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of
such U.S. Government Securities to said payments with respect to the Securities of such series;


 




    -39-


     


    

 


(b) In the case of
an election under Section 8.03, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that
(i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since
the date hereof, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based
thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain
or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;


 


(c) In the case of
an election under Section 8.04, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the Holders of the outstanding 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;


 


(d) No Default or
Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit
or, insofar as clauses (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 is concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st
day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration
of such period);


 


(e) Such Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any other material agreement
or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound, and if the Securities of such series are subordinated
pursuant to Article Eleven, is not prohibited by Article Eleven;


 


(f) In the case of
any election under Section 8.03 or 8.04, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating that the deposit made by the Company pursuant to its election under Section 8.03 or 8.04
was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over other creditors of the Company or with the intent of
defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and


 


(g) The Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
provided for relating to either the Legal Defeasance under Section 8.03 or the Covenant Defeasance under Section 8.04
(as the case may be) have been complied with as contemplated by this Section 8.05.


 


SECTION 8.06 Deposited
Money and U.S. Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.07,
all money and U.S. Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee,
collectively for purposes of this Section 8.06, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.05 in
respect of the outstanding Securities of a series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions
of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or a
Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums
due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.


 



    -40-


     


    

 


The Company shall
pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Securities
deposited pursuant to Section 8.05 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax,
fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities.


 


Anything in this
Article Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the
Company’s request any money or U.S. Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.05 which, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered
to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.05(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof which
would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


 


Before or after the
deposit pursuant to Section 8.05(b), the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption
of Securities of such series at a future date pursuant to Article Three.


 


SECTION 8.07 Repayment
to Company. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, whether pursuant to this
Article Eight or otherwise, in trust for the payment of the principal of, and any premium and interest on, or redemption
price or mandatory sinking fund payment on, any Security which has remained unclaimed for two years after such principal and any
premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request (unless an abandoned property law designates
another Person) or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Securities shall thereafter,
as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying
Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of
the Company cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such
money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.


 


SECTION 8.08 Reinstatement. If
the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.03 or 8.04,
as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining, or
otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of
the applicable series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.03
or 8.04 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with this Article
Eight; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, or any premium or
interest on, or redemption price or mandatory sinking fund payment on, any Security of such series following the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive
such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. In the event the Company’s obligations under this
Indenture and the Securities of a series are revived and reinstated pursuant to this Section 8.08, then this
Indenture that was released as a result of the Company’s exercise of its rights under this Article Eight shall
be revived and reinstated as though such release had not occurred.

ARTICLE NINE


 


AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS


 


SECTION 9.01 Without
Consent of Holders.


 


The Company and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of any series without notice to or consent of any Holder:


 


(1) to
cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; provided that such modification shall not adversely affect the Holders of
any series in any material respect;


 


(2) to
comply with Sections 5.01 and 10.03;


 


(3) to
add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture; provided that any such addition, change or elimination shall
not be effective as to Securities of any series outstanding prior to the date of such amendment or supplement;


 


(4) to
establish the forms or terms of the Securities of any series issued hereunder;


 


(5) to
evidence the acceptance or appointment by a separate Trustee or successor Trustee with respect to one or more series of Securities
or otherwise;


 


(6) in
the case of any Securities that are designated as Subordinated Debt Securities, to make any change in Article Ten that would
limit or terminate the benefits available to any holder of Senior Indebtedness (or Representatives therefor) under Article Ten;


 


(7) to
reflect the addition or release of any Guarantor, as provided for by this Indenture, or to secure any of the Securities or the
Guarantees;


 


(8) to
comply with any requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;


 


(9) to
provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to certificated Securities;


 




    -42-


     


    

 


(10)
to make provisions with respect to the conversion of Securities of any series that are convertible in accordance with the terms
of such Securities; or


 


(11)
to make any change that would provide any additional benefit or rights to the Holders of such series or that does not adversely
affect the rights of any Holder of such series in any material respect.


 


Upon the request
of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution of the Company authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture,
and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall join with the Company
in the execution of any supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained.


 


SECTION 9.02 With
Consent of Holders. Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement
this Indenture or the Securities of any series with the consent (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer
or exchange offer for Securities or a solicitation of consents in respect of Securities) of the Holders of at least a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected by such amendment or supplement, considered together as
a single class.


 


For purposes of this
Indenture, the consent of the Holder of a Global Security shall be deemed to include any consent delivered by any member of, or
participant in, the Depositary or such other depositary institution hereinafter appointed by the Company by electronic means in
accordance with the Automated Tender Offer Procedures system or other customary procedures of, and pursuant to authorization by,
such entity.


 


Upon the request
of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution of the Company authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture,
and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of
the Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall join with the Company
in the execution of such supplemental indenture.


 


It shall not be necessary
for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall
be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.


 


The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all series affected thereby, considered together as a single
class, may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of any
series (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Securities or a solicitation of consents
in respect of Securities). However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this
Section may not:


 


(1) reduce
the percentage of principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver of any provision
of this Indenture or the Securities;


 




    -43-


     


    

 


(2) reduce
the rate or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, if any, on the Securities of any series;


 


(3) reduce
the principal amount of any Security or change the Maturity Date of the Securities of any series;


 


(4) reduce
the amount payable upon the redemption of any Security;


 


(5) adversely
affect the conversion rights of any Security that is convertible in accordance with the applicable provisions of such Security;


 


(6) waive
any Event of Default under clauses (1) and (2) of Section 6.01;


 


(7) make
any Security payable in money other than that stated in such Security;


 


(8) impair
the right of Holders of Securities of any series to receive payment of the principal of and interest on Securities on the respective
due dates therefor and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment;


 


(9) make
any change in Sections 6.04 or 6.07 or in this sentence of this Section 9.02.


 


An amendment, supplement
or waiver which changes, waives or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included
solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities
of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture
of the Holders of Securities of any other series.


 


SECTION 9.03 Compliance
with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as
then in effect.


 


SECTION 9.04 Revocation
and Effect of Consents. A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and
every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security,
even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective,
any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of a Security. For such revocation to
be effective, the Trustee must receive the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.


 



    -44-


     


    

 


The Company
may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any
amendment, supplement or waiver. If the Company elects to fix a record date for such purpose, the record date shall be fixed
at (i) the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of
Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.08, or (ii) such other
date as the Company shall designate. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately
preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those
Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given,
whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more
than 90 days after such record date unless consent from the Holders of the principal amount of Securities required hereunder
for such amendment, supplement or waiver to be effective also shall have been given and not revoked within such 90-day
period.


 


After an amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through
(9) of Section 9.02. In that case the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who
has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder’s Security.


 


SECTION 9.05 Notation
on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security of any series, the Trustee
may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security
about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in
exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure
to make appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.


 


SECTION 9.06 Trustee
Protected. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment,
supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. If it does adversely affect the rights of the Trustee,
the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be provided with, and (subject
to Article Seven) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate of
the Company stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by and complies with this Indenture.


 


ARTICLE TEN


 


SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES


 


SECTION 10.01 Applicability
of Article; Agreement to Subordinate. The provisions of this Article Ten shall be applicable only to the
Securities, and any related Guarantee of such Securities, of any series designated, pursuant to Section 2.03, as
subordinated to Senior Indebtedness pursuant to this Article Ten (the Securities of such series being referred to
herein as the “Subordinated Debt Securities”). Each Holder by accepting a Subordinated Debt Security
agrees that the Indebtedness evidenced by such Subordinated Debt Security and the related Guarantee of such Subordinated Debt
Security is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article Ten, to
the prior payment of all Senior Indebtedness and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders
of Senior Indebtedness. All provisions of this Article Ten shall be subject to Section 10.12 


 



    -45-


     


    

 


SECTION 10.02 Liquidation,
Dissolution, Bankruptcy.


 


(a) Of the Company.
Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial
dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company
or its property:


 


(i) holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of such Senior Indebtedness (including interest
(if any), accruing on or after the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, whether or not allowed as a claim against the Company
in such bankruptcy proceeding) before Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities of the Company shall be entitled to receive any payment
of principal of, or any premium or interest on, Subordinated Debt Securities; and


 


(ii) until the Senior
Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, any such distribution to which Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities would be entitled
but for this Article Ten shall be made to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company as their interests may appear, except
that such Holders may receive securities representing Capital Stock of the Company and any debt securities of the Company that
are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company to at least the same extent as the Subordinated Debt Securities of the Company.


 



    -46-


     


    

 


SECTION 10.03 Default
on Senior Indebtedness.


 


(a) As to the
Company. The Company may not pay the principal of, or any premium or interest on, Subordinated Debt Securities or make any
deposit pursuant to Article Eight with respect to such Subordinated Debt Securities and may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise
retire (except, in the case of Subordinated Debt Securities that provide for a mandatory sinking fund pursuant to Section 3.08,
by the delivery of Subordinated Debt Securities by the Company to the Trustee pursuant to Sections 3.08 and 3.09)
any Subordinated Debt Securities (collectively, “pay the Subordinated Debt Securities”) if (i) any principal,
premium or interest in respect of Senior Indebtedness of the Company is not paid when due, including any applicable grace period
(including at Maturity) or (ii) any other default on Senior Indebtedness of the Company occurs and the Maturity of such Senior
Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, the default has been cured or waived and any such
acceleration has been rescinded or such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash; provided, however, that
the Company may pay the Subordinated Debt Securities without regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written
notice approving such payment from the Representative of each issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company. During the
continuance of any default (other than a default described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence) with respect
to any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company pursuant to which the Maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without
further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods,
the Company may not pay the Subordinated Debt Securities for a period (a “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing
upon the receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice of such default from the Representative of any Designated Senior
Indebtedness of the Company specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period (a “Blockage Notice”)
and ending 179 days thereafter (or earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated by written notice to the Trustee and the
Company from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice, by repayment in full in cash of such Designated Senior Indebtedness
or because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is no longer continuing). Notwithstanding the provisions described in
the immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section 10.03(a)),
unless the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such holders shall have accelerated the Maturity
of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, the Company may resume payments on the Subordinated Debt Securities after such Payment
Blockage Period. Not more than one Blockage Notice may be given in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of
defaults with respect to any number of issues of Designated Senior Indebtedness during such period; provided, however,
that in no event may the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days
in the aggregate during any 360 consecutive day period. For purposes of this Section 10.03(a), no default or event
of default which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated
Senior Indebtedness of the Company initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the commencement
of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, whether or not within a period
of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than
90 consecutive days.

SECTION 10.04 Acceleration
of Payment of Debt Securities. If payment of the Subordinated Debt Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default,
the Company shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness (or their Representatives) of the acceleration.


 


SECTION 10.05 When
Distribution Must Be Paid Over. If a distribution is made to Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities that because of this Article
Ten should not have been made to them, the Holders who receive such distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior
Indebtedness and pay it over to them as their interests may appear.


 


SECTION 10.06 Subrogation.
After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and until the Subordinated Debt Securities are paid in full, Holders thereof shall
be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness. A distribution
made under this Article Ten to holders of Senior Indebtedness which otherwise would have been made to Holders of Subordinated
Debt Securities is not, as between the Company and such Holders, a payment by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case
may be, on Senior Indebtedness.


 


SECTION 10.07 Relative
Rights. This Article Ten defines the relative rights of Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities and holders of Senior
Indebtedness. Nothing in this Indenture shall:


 


(a) impair, as between
the Company and Holders of either Subordinated Debt Securities or Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Subordinated Debt Securities and the Securities in
accordance with their terms; or


 


(b) prevent the Trustee
or any Holder of either Subordinated Debt Securities or Securities from exercising its respective available remedies upon a Default,
subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders of Subordinated Debt
Securities.


 


SECTION 10.08 Subordination
May Not Be Impaired by Company. No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness
evidenced by any Subordinated Debt Securities and the Guarantee in respect thereof shall be impaired by any act or failure to act
by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.


 


SECTION 10.09 Rights
of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding Section 10.03, the Trustee or any paying agent may continue to make
payments on Subordinated Debt Securities and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit
the making of any such payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Trust Officer receives
notice satisfactory to the Trustee that payments may not be made under this Article Ten. The Company, the Registrar, any
paying agent, a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness may give the notice; provided, however, that, if
an issue of Senior Indebtedness has a Representative, only the Representative may give the notice on behalf of the Holders of the
Senior Indebtedness of that issue.


 




    -48-


     


    

 


The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Registrar
and any paying agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article
Ten with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of
Senior Indebtedness; and nothing in Article Seven shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing
in this Article Ten shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07.


 


SECTION 10.10 Distribution
or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness, the
distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative (if any).


 


SECTION 10.11 Article
Ten Not to Prevent Defaults or Limit Right to Accelerate. The failure to make a payment pursuant to any Subordinated Debt Securities,
whether directly or pursuant to a Guarantee, by reason of any provision in this Article Ten shall not be construed as preventing
the occurrence of a Default. Nothing in this Article Ten shall have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee
to accelerate the Maturity of either the Subordinated Debt Securities or the Securities, as the case may be.


 


SECTION 10.12 Trust
Moneys Not Subordinated. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of
U.S. Government Obligations held in trust under Article Eight by the Trustee for the payment of principal of, and any premium
and interest on, the Subordinated Debt Securities or the Securities shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior
Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article Ten, and none of the Holders thereof shall be obligated
to pay over any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any other creditor of the Company.


 


SECTION 10.13 Trustee
Entitled to Rely. Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Ten, the Trustee and the Holders
shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the
nature referred to in Section 10.02 are pending, upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other
Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to such Holders or upon the Representatives for the holders of
Senior Indebtedness for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount
or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Ten. In the event that
the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of
Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Ten, the Trustee may
request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness
held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other
facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article Ten, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the
Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such
payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of
actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article Ten.


 



    -49-


     


    

 


SECTION 10.14 Trustee
to Effectuate Subordination. Each Holder of a Subordinated Debt Security, by its acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs
the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination
between the Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities and the holders of Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article Ten
and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.


 


SECTION 10.15 Reliance
by Holders of Senior Indebtedness on Subordination Provisions. Each Holder of a Subordinated Debt Security, by its acceptance
thereof, acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration
to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance
of the Subordinated Debt Securities, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such
holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing
to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.

such satisfaction and discharge.

to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited
with the Trustee.

The Trustee agrees
to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission
or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate
listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons,

Law. THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES AND THE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF
THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WOULD REQUIRE
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION REGARDING THE VALIDITY OF THE SECURITIES.


 


SECTION 12.09 No
Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan or debt agreement
