Indenture on the Issue Date is $565,000,000.


 






    20 


     


    

 



 


The Issuer may from time to time after the
Issue Date issue Additional Notes under this Indenture in an unlimited principal amount, so long as such Additional Notes are issued
in compliance with the other applicable provisions of this Indenture. With respect to any Additional Notes issued after the Issue
Date (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes
pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 3.08, 4.08(c) or Appendix A), there shall be (a) established in or pursuant to
a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer and (b) (i) set forth or determined in the manner provided in an Officer’s
Certificate or (ii) established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of such Additional Notes:


 


(1)              
the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture;


 


(2)              
the issue price and issuance date of such Additional Notes, including the date from which interest on such Additional Notes
shall accrue; and


 


(3)              
if applicable, that such Additional Notes shall be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes
and, in such case, the respective depositaries for such Global Notes, the form of any legend or legends which shall be borne by
such Global Notes in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Exhibit A hereto and any circumstances in addition to or in lieu
of those set forth in Section 2.2 of Appendix A in which any such Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Additional
Notes registered, or any transfer of such Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name or names of Persons other
than the depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof.


 


If any of the terms of any Additional Notes
are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, a copy of an appropriate record
of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at or
prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate or an indenture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional
Notes.


 


The Initial Notes, including any Additional
Notes, may, at the Issuer’s option, be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without
limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that if the Additional Notes are not fungible
with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes or U.S. securities laws purposes, the Additional Notes will have a
separate CUSIP number, if applicable.


 


Section 2.02          Form
and Dating. Provisions relating to the Initial Notes are set forth in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated in
and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (i) Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and
(ii) any Additional Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form
of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have
notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuer is subject, if any,
or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuer). Each Note
shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons
and in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000.


 






    21 


     


    

 


Section 2.03         
Execution and Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written
order of the Issuer signed by one Officer of the Issuer (a) Initial Notes for original issue on the date hereof in an aggregate
principal amount of $565,000,000 and (b) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount
to be determined at the time of issuance and specified therein. Such order shall specify the amount of separate Note certificates
to be authenticated, the principal amount of each of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes
is to be authenticated, the registered holder of each of the Notes and delivery instructions and whether the Notes are to be Initial
Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or Appendix A, any issuance of Additional Notes after
the Issue Date shall be in a principal amount of at least $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.


 


One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer
by manual or facsimile signature.


 


If an Officer whose signature is on a Note
no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.


 


A Note shall not be valid until an authorized
signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence
that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.


 


The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating
agents reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument
signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuer. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an
authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication
by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent
or agent for service of notices and demands.


 


Section 2.04         
Registrar and Paying Agent.


 


(a)              
The Issuer shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(the “Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying
Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may have one
or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars.
The term “Paying Agent” includes the Paying Agent and any additional paying agents. The Issuer initially appoints
the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and the Notes Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.


 






    22 


     


    

 


(b)              
The Issuer may enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture.
The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall
act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Issuer or any of its
domestically organized Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.


 


(c)              
The Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee;
provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i)
if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer
and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii)
notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance
with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee;
provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee
in accordance with Section 7.08.


 


Section 2.05         
Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to each due date of the principal of and interest on any Note,
the Issuer shall deposit with each Paying Agent (or if the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate
and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so
becoming due. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall
hold in trust for the benefit of holders or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest
on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. If the Issuer or a Wholly Owned
Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for
the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Issuer 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 such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.05, a Paying Agent
shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.


 


Section 2.06         
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. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause
the Registrar to 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.


 






    23 


     


    

 


Section 2.07          Transfer
and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note
for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a
request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements therefor are met.
When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of
other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit
registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the
Registrar’s request. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other
governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section. The Issuer shall not be required
to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of
Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed.


 


Prior to the due presentation for registration
of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name
a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest, if any,
on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the
Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


Any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global
Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be
effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any holder of
a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to
be reflected in a book entry.


 


All Notes issued upon any 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 Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.


 


Section 2.08          Replacement
Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost,
destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the
requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the holder (a) satisfies the Issuer and the
Trustee within a reasonable time after such holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the
Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuer and the
Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code
(a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Issuer and the
Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such holder shall furnish indemnity or security sufficient in the judgment
of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss or liability
that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced and subsequently presented or claimed for payment. The Issuer and the
Trustee may charge the holder for their expenses in replacing a Note (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and
disbursements in replacing such Note). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become
or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in
replacement thereof.


 






    24 


     


    

 


Every replacement Note is an additional obligation
of the Issuer.


 


The provisions of this Section 2.08 are
exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.


 


Section 2.09         
Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes 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. Subject to Section 10.06,
a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.


 


If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08
(other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive
proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon
surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08.


 


If a Paying Agent segregates and holds in
trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest
payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and no Paying
Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after
that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.


 


Section 2.10         
[Reserved].


 


Section 2.11         
Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and
each Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.
The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation
and shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace
Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of
canceled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.


 


Section 2.12          Defaulted
Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then
borne by the Notes (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay
the defaulted interest to the Persons who are holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer 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 affected holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount
of defaulted interest to be paid.


 






    25 


     


    

 


Section 2.13         
CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, Etc. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common
Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use any such CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common
Code” 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 Notes or as contained
in any notice of a redemption that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that
any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall advise the Trustee of
any change in any such CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers.


 


Section 2.14         
Calculation of Principal Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination,
shall be the principal amount of the Notes at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver,
approval or other action of the holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall
be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of
Notes, the holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the
Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09 and Section 10.06
of this Indenture. Any such calculation of the Applicable Premium made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by the
Issuer and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.


 


Section 2.15         
Depositary. None of the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability
for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Note in global form
or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. The Trustee, Paying Agent
and the Registrar shall be entitled to deal with any depositary (including any Depository), and any nominee thereof, that is the
holder of any such global Note for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such global Note (including the payment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder
of a beneficial ownership interest in such global Note) as the sole holder of such global Note and shall have no obligations to
the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability
for any acts or omissions of any such depositary with respect to such global Note, for the records of any such depositary, including
records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such global Note, for any transactions between such depositary
and any participant in such depositary or between or among any such depositary, any such participant and/or any holder or owner
of a beneficial interest in such global Note or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such global Note.

Redemption. The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or from time to time in part, subject to the conditions and
at the redemption prices set forth in Paragraph 6 of the forms of Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which are hereby incorporated
by reference and made a part of this Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.


 


Section 3.02

required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article III.


 


Section 3.03         
Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of
Paragraph 6 of the Note, it shall notify the Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of (i) the Section of this Indenture pursuant
to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the
redemption price. The Issuer shall give notice to the Trustee provided for in this paragraph at least 10 days but not more than
60 days before a redemption date if the redemption is pursuant to Paragraph 6 of the Note, unless a shorter period is acceptable
to the Trustee. The Issuer may also include a request in such Officer’s Certificate that the Trustee give the notice of redemption
in the Issuer’s name and at its expense and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.05.
If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Issuer and
given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not fewer than 10 days after the date of notice to the Trustee. Any such notice
may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.


 


Section 3.04         
Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption
will be made by the Trustee on a by lot basis to the extent practicable subject to the procedures of the Depository; provided
that no Notes of $2,000 or less may be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously
called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger
than $2,000. Notes and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for
redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed.

At the Issuer’s request in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption
in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with the information
required by this Section at least one Business Day prior to the date such notice is to be provided to holders in the final form
such notice is to be delivered to holders and, except as provided herein and as set forth in paragraph 6 of the Notes, such notice
may not be canceled once delivered to holders of Notes.


 






    28 


     


    

 


Section 3.06          Effect
of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed or otherwise delivered in accordance with Section 3.05,
Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice,
except as provided in the penultimate sentence of paragraph 6 of the Notes. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes
shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest, to, but excluding, the redemption
date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular Record Date and on or prior to the
Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the
relevant Record Date. 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 3.07         
Deposit of Redemption Price. With respect to any Notes, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption
date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall
segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes or portions thereof
to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer
to the Trustee for cancellation. On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus
accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed, unless the Paying Agent is prohibited from making
such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.


 


Section 3.08         
Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate for the holder (at the Issuer’s expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed
portion of the Note surrendered.


 


Section 3.09         
Redemption for Changes in Taxes.


 


The Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole
but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice to
the holders, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date and all Additional Amounts, (if any), which otherwise would be payable, if on the
next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, the Issuer would be required to pay Additional Amounts,
and the Issuer cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it, as a result of:


 


(a)              
any amendment to, or change in, the laws or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of a relevant Tax Jurisdiction
which is announced and becomes effective after the date of the Offering Memorandum (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became
a Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the date of the Offering Memorandum, such later date); or


 


(b)               any
amendment to, or change in, an official interpretation or application regarding such laws, regulations or rulings, including
by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction which is announced and becomes effective after
the date of the Offering Memorandum (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction on a date after
the date of the Offering Memorandum, such later date).


 






    29 


     


    

 


The Issuer will not give any such notice of
redemption earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to make such payment or withholding
if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due, and, at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts
must remain in effect.


 


Prior to the publication or, where relevant,
mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee (i) an opinion
of independent tax counsel, the choice of such counsel to be subject to the prior written approval of the Trustee (such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld) to the effect that there has been such change or amendment which would entitle the Issuer to redeem
the Notes hereunder and (ii) a certificate signed by an officer of the Issuer stating that the Issuer cannot avoid any obligation
to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it.


 


Article IV


 


COVENANTS


 


Section 4.01         
Payment of Notes.


 


(a)              
The Issuer shall promptly pay the principal of and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the
Notes and in this Indenture. An installment of principal of or interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date
the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds as of 12:00 p.m. New York City time money sufficient to pay all principal and interest then
due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the holders on that date
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.


 


(b)              
The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes, and it shall pay interest
on overdue installments of interest at the same rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful.


 






    30 


     


    

 


(c)               All
payments made by the Issuer under or with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or
deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge
(including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (collectively, “Taxes”) unless the
withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any
Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of (1) any jurisdiction in which the Issuer is then incorporated, or resident or
doing business for tax purposes or any department or political subdivision thereof or therein or (2) any jurisdiction from or
through which payment is made or any department or political subdivision thereof or therein (each, a “Tax
Jurisdiction”), will at any time be required to be made from any payments made by the Issuer under or with respect
to the Notes, including payments of principal, redemption price, purchase price, interest or premium, the Issuer will pay
such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts
received in respect of such payments by each holder after such withholding or deduction (including any such deduction or
withholding from such Additional Amounts) will equal the respective amounts which would have been received in respect of such
payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be
payable with respect to:


 


(i)                
any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection
between the holder or the beneficial owner of the Notes and the relevant Tax Jurisdiction (other than solely from the mere acquisition,
ownership, holding or disposition of such Note, the enforcement of rights under such Note and/or the receipt of any payments in
respect of such Note);


 


(ii)               
any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the failure of the holder or the beneficial owner
of the Notes, following the Issuer’s written request to the holder, at least 30 days before any such withholding or deduction
would be payable, to comply with any certification, identification, information or other reporting requirements, whether required
by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Tax Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction
in the rate of deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Tax Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification
that the holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Tax Jurisdiction), but in each case, only to the extent the holder or
the beneficial owner is legally entitled to provide such certification or documentation;


 


(iii)             
any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes were imposed as a result of the presentation of a Note for payment (where presentation
is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the holder (except to the extent
that the holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the note been presented on the last day of such 30-day period);


 


(iv)            
any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax or assessment;


 


(v)              
any Taxes payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments made under or with respect to any Note;


 


(vi)             any
Taxes that are imposed or levied pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”) as of the date hereof (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable
and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any
agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code as of the date of the Offering Memorandum (or any amended
or successor version as described above) and any intergovernment agreement (and any related laws, legislation, rules and
official administrative guidance) implementing any of the foregoing; or


 









    31 


     


    

 


(vii)           
any combination of the above clauses (i) through (vi).


 


(d)              
The Issuer will pay and indemnify the holder for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, transfer, court or documentary
taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related
thereto) which are levied by any jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, issuance, or registration of any of the Notes, this Indenture,
or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect to, or enforcement of, the
Notes (such sum being recoverable from the Issuer as a liquidated sum payable as a debt).


 


(e)               
If the Issuer becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with
respect to the Notes, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee on a date which is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment
(unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Issuer
shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter) notice stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated
to be so payable. The notice must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agents to pay
Additional Amounts to holders on the relevant payment date. The Issuer will provide the Trustee with documentation evidencing the
payment of Additional Amounts.


 


(f)               
The Issuer will make all withholdings and deductions (within the time period and in the minimum amount) required by law
and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Tax authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer
will use its reasonable efforts to obtain Tax receipts from each Tax authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted
or withheld. The Issuer will furnish to the Trustee (or to a holder upon request), within a reasonable time after the date the
payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is made, certified copies of Tax receipts evidencing payment by the Issuer, or if,
notwithstanding such entity’s efforts to obtain receipts, receipts are not obtained, other evidence of payments (reasonably
satisfactory to Trustee) by such entity.


 


(g)              
The obligations described under Sections 4.01(c), (d), (e) and (f) shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge
of this Indenture and shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Issuer is incorporated,
or resident or doing business for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which such Person makes any payment on the Notes
and any department or political subdivision thereof or therein.

Section
4.02          Reports and
Other Information.


 


(a)              
For so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuer shall provide to the Trustee and, upon request, to beneficial owners
of the Notes a copy of all of the information and reports referred to below:


 


(i)                
within 15 days after the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for non-accelerated filers, annual
reports of the Reporting Entity for such fiscal year containing the information that would have been required to be contained in
an annual report on Form 20-F or Form 10-K (or any successor or comparable form) if the Reporting Entity had been a reporting company
under the Exchange Act, except to the extent permitted to be excluded by the SEC;


 


(ii)              
within 15 days after the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for non-accelerated filers, quarterly
reports of the Reporting Entity for such fiscal quarter containing the information that would have been required to be contained
in a quarterly report on Form 6-K or Form 10-Q (or any successor or comparable form) if the Reporting Entity had been a reporting
company under the Exchange Act, except to the extent permitted to be excluded by the SEC; and


 


(iii)             
within 15 days after the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for filing current reports on Form
8-K, current reports of the Reporting Entity containing substantially all of the information that would be required to be filed
in a Current Report on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act on the Issue Date pursuant to Sections 1, 2 and 4, Items 5.01, 5.02 (other
than compensation information), 5.03(b) and Item 9.01 (only to the extent relating to any of the foregoing) of Form 8-K if the
Reporting Entity had been a reporting company under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that no such current reports
will be required to be furnished if the Issuer determines in its good faith judgment that such event is not material to holders
or the business, assets, operations, financial position or prospects of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided
further that the Reporting Entity shall not be obligated to file or provide Current Reports on Form 8-K until after such time
as the Issuer has determined that it is no longer a “foreign private issuer” under the Securities Act, or such determination
is otherwise made by the SEC;


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A)
neither the Issuer nor another Reporting Entity will be required to furnish any information, certificates or reports that
would otherwise be required by Section 302 or Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or related Items 307 or 308 of
Regulation S-K, (B) such reports will not be required to contain financial information required by Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of
Regulation S-X, (C) such reports shall be subject to exceptions, exclusions and other differences consistent with the
presentation of financial and other information in this offering memorandum and shall not be required to present compensation
or beneficial ownership information and (D) the Issuer’s determination that it is a “foreign private
issuer” (as such term is defined in the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) shall be conclusive with respect to the
determination of which Exchange Act form or forms of reports, information and documents are required to be provided pursuant
to this covenant, until such time as the Issuer or the SEC determines that the Issuer does not qualify as a “foreign
private issuer” (as so defined) for purposes of providing such reports, information and documents.


 






    33 


     


    

 


(b)              
The financial statements, information and other documents required to be provided as described in Section 4.02(a) may
be those of (i) the Issuer or (ii) any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer (any such entity, a “Reporting Entity”),
so long as in the case of (ii) such direct or indirect parent of the Issuer shall not conduct, transact or otherwise engage, or
commit to conduct, transact or otherwise engage, in any business or operations other than its direct or indirect ownership of all
of the Equity Interests in, and its management of the Issuer; provided that, if the financial information so furnished relates
to such direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, the same is accompanied by a reasonably detailed description of the quantitative
differences between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and its
Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.


 


(c)              
The Issuer will make such information available to prospective investors upon request. The Issuer has agreed that, for so
long as any Notes remain outstanding during any period when neither it nor another Reporting Person is subject to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise permitted to furnish the SEC with certain information pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) of the
Exchange Act, it will furnish to the holders of the Notes and to prospective investors, upon their request, the information required
to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer
will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee, the holders and prospective investors if the Issuer
or another Reporting Entity has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system (or any successor system) and such
reports are publicly available. In addition, the requirements of this Section 4.02 shall be deemed satisfied by the posting
of reports that would be required to be provided on the Issuer’s website (or that of any of the Issuer’s parent companies,
including the Reporting Entity).


 


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 Issuer’s compliance
with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on an Officer’s Certificate).
The Trustee is under no duty to examine such reports, information or documents to ensure compliance with the provision of this
Indenture or to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of the information or the statements contained therein.

Change of Control Triggering Event


 


(a)              
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each holder shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase
all or any part of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”)
(subject to the right of the holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment
Date), in accordance with the terms contemplated in this Section 4.08; provided, however, that notwithstanding
the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer shall not be obligated to purchase any Notes pursuant to this
Section 4.08 in the event that it has exercised its right to redeem such Notes in accordance with Article III of this
Indenture.


 


(b)              
Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, except to the extent that the Issuer has exercised its
right to redeem the Notes in accordance with Article III of this Indenture, the Issuer shall mail (or deliver pursuant to
the procedures of the Depository) a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each holder with a copy to the Trustee
stating:


 


(i)                
that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that such holder has the right to require the Issuer to repurchase
such holder’s Notes for the Change of Control Payment (subject to the right of the holders of record on the relevant Record
Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date);


 


(ii)              
the circumstances regarding such Change of Control Triggering Event;


 


(iii)             
the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent); and


 


(iv)             
the instructions determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 4.08, that a holder must follow in order to
have its Notes purchased.


 


(c)               Holders
electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the
Issuer at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. The holders shall be
entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the
purchase date a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder, the principal amount
of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the holder and a statement that such holder is withdrawing his election to
have such Note purchased. Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount
to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.


 






    35 


     


    

 


(d)              
On the purchase date, all Notes purchased by the Issuer under this Section 4.08 shall be delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, and the Issuer shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest to the holders entitled thereto.


 


(e)              
A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, and conditioned upon such Change
of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change
of Control Offer.


 


(f)               
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.08, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of
Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at
the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer
made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer; (ii) a notice
of redemption of all outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to this Indenture as described in Paragraph 6 of the Notes unless
and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price; or (iii) in connection with or in contemplation of
any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any
and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Notes
properly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Alternate Offer, and, in the case of an Alternate Offer made in contemplation
of any Change of Control Triggering Event, such Change of Control Triggering Event occurs.


 


(g)              
If holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw
such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer
as described in Section 4.08(f) above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the
Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more
than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding
following such purchase at a price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment.


 


(h)              
Notes repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will have the status of Notes issued but not outstanding
or will be retired and canceled at the option of the Issuer. Notes purchased by a third party pursuant to the preceding clauses
(f) and (g) will have the status of Notes issued and outstanding.


 






    36 


     


    

 


(i)                 At
the time the Issuer delivers Notes to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Issuer shall also deliver an
Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes are to be accepted by the Issuer pursuant to and in accordance with
the terms of this Section 4.08. A Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee,
directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering holder.


 


(j)                
Prior to any Change of Control Offer, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that
all conditions precedent contained herein to the right of the Issuer to make such offer have been complied with.


 


(k)              
The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.08. To the extent that
the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.08, the Issuer shall comply
with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.08
by virtue thereof.


 


Section 4.09         
 Compliance Certificate. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal
year of the Issuer, beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2019, an Officer’s Certificate stating that in
the course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as an Officer of the Issuer he or she would normally have knowledge
of any Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default that occurred during such period. If he or she does, the certificate
shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. Except with
respect to receipt of payments of principal and interest on the Notes and any Default or Event of Default information contained
in the Officer’s Certificate delivered to it pursuant to this Section 4.09, the Trustee shall have no duty to review,
ascertain or confirm the Issuer’s compliance with or the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made in this
Indenture.


 


Section 4.10         
Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and deliver such further
instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this
Indenture.


 


Section 4.11         
[Reserved].


 


Section 4.12         
Liens.


 


(a)              
The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Principal Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or Incur any Lien
(except Permitted Liens) on any Principal Property, or upon any Capital Stock of any Principal Subsidiary, that secures any Indebtedness
of the Issuer or its Subsidiaries, unless the Notes are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case
of obligations subordinated in right of payment to the Notes) the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are
no longer secured by a Lien. Any Lien which is granted to secure the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall be automatically
released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes.


 






    37 


     


    

 


(b)              
For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, (i) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted
solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted
Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (ii) in the event
that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Permitted
Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a),
the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if Incurred at such
later time), such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant
and will be entitled to include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien (or portion
thereof) in one of the categories of Permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens”
or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) and, in such event, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) will
be treated as being Incurred or existing pursuant to only such clause or clauses (or any portion thereof) or pursuant to Section 4.12(a)
without giving pro forma effect to such item (or portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Liens or Indebtedness that
may be Incurred pursuant to any other clause or paragraph.


 


(c)              
With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence
of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased
Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual
of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form
of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock of the Issuer, accretion of original issue discount
or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange
rate of currencies.


 


Section 4.13         
Re-flagging of Vessels. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Subsidiary may reconstitute itself
in another jurisdiction, or merge with or into another Subsidiary, for the purpose of reflagging a vessel that it owns or bareboat
charters so long as at all times each Subsidiary remains organized under the laws of any country recognized by the United States
of America with an investment grade credit rating from either S&P or Moody’s or any Permitted Jurisdiction.


 


Section 4.14         
Maintenance of Office or Agency.


 


(a)               The
Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar)
where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the
Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall 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 Issuer shall fail to
maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee as set
forth in Section 10.02.


 






    38 


     


    

 


(b)              
The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however,
that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency
for such purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any
change in the location of any such other office or agency.


 


(c)              
The Issuer hereby designates the corporate trust office of the Trustee or its agent as such office or agency of the Issuer
in accordance with Section 2.04.


 


Section 4.15         
Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Principal Subsidiary to, enter
into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Principal Property unless:


 


(a)              
the Issuer or such Principal Subsidiary, as applicable, could have Incurred Indebtedness in an amount at least equal to
the Attributable Debt relating to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction secured by a Lien on the Principal Property to be leased
(without equally and ratably securing the Notes) pursuant to Section 4.12; or


 


(b)              
the gross cash proceeds of that Sale and Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the Principal
Property that is the subject of that Sale and Leaseback Transaction and within 365 days of the effective date of any such Sale
and Leaseback Transaction, the Issuer applies the Net Proceeds of the sale of the Principal Property (i) to the prepayment or retirement
of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries (which may include the Notes) and/or (ii) the acquisition, construction or improvement
of any property or assets.


 


For purposes of this Section 4.15:


 


(i)                
in determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the entering into of any Sale and Leaseback Transaction,
the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Attributable Debt denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based upon
the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction
was Incurred; and


 


(ii)               
the maximum amount of Attributable Debt that the Issuer or any Subsidiary may Incur in respect of any Sale and Leaseback
Transaction shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.

Article V


 


SUCCESSOR COMPANY


 


Section 5.01         
When Issuer May Merge or Transfer Assets.


 


(a)              
The Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up or convert into (whether
or not the Issuer is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:


 


(i)                
the Issuer is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, winding
up or conversion (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition
will have been made is a company organized or existing under the laws of Bermuda or a limited liability company, corporation, partnership,
or similar entity organized or existing under the laws of any Permitted Jurisdiction (the Issuer or such Person, as the case may
be, being herein called the “Successor Issuer”), provided that in the case where the surviving person
is not a company organized under the laws of Bermuda, a co-obligor of the Notes is a company organized under the laws of Bermuda
or a corporation organized under the laws of any state of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory of the United
States;


 


(ii)              
the Successor Issuer (if other than the Issuer) expressly assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture
and the Notes pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;


 


(iii)              
immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and


 


(iv)             
the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or transfer and such supplemental indentures (if any) comply with this Indenture.


 


The Successor Issuer (if other than the
Issuer) will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes, and in such event the Issuer
will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the
foregoing clause (iii) of this Section 5.01, (a) any Subsidiary may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or transfer
all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer or to another Subsidiary, and (b) the Issuer may merge, consolidate or
amalgamate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in a Permitted Jurisdiction or
may convert into a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or similar entity organized or existing under the laws
of any Permitted Jurisdiction so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries is not increased
thereby. This Article V will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or
among the Issuer and its Subsidiaries.

Article VI


 


DEFAULTS
AND REMEDIES


 


Section 6.01         
Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs with respect to Notes if:


 


(a)              
there is a default in any payment of interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues
for a period of 30 days,


 


(b)              
there is a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any, of any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional
redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise,


 


(c)              
the failure by the Issuer to comply for 90 days after written notice with any of its obligations, covenants or agreements
contained in Section 4.02,


 


(d)              
the failure by the Issuer or any Principal Subsidiary to comply for 60 days after written notice with its other agreements
(other than a default referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above) contained in the Notes or this Indenture,


 


(e)              
the failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary) to pay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to the Issuer or a Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period
after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, in each case, if
the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $100.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent,


 


(f)               
either the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:


 


(i)                
commences a voluntary case;


 


(ii)             
consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case;


 


(iii)           
consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or


 






    41 


     


    

 


(iv)            
makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating
to insolvency,


 


(g)              
a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:


 


(i)                
is for relief against either the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer in an involuntary case;


 


(ii)             
appoints a Custodian of either the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or for any substantial part of its
property; or


 


(iii)           
orders the winding up or liquidation of either the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer;


 


or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and
the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days, or


 


(h)              
failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary) to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $100.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts
which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or
stayed for a period of 60 days.


 


The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default
whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law
or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body.


 


However, a default under clauses (c) or (d)
above shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes
notify the Issuer, with a copy to the Trustee, of the default in writing and the Issuer does not cure such default within the time
specified in clause (c) or (d) hereof, as applicable, after receipt of such written notice. Such written notice must specify the
Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such written notice is a “Notice of Default.” The Issuer shall deliver
to the Trustee, within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate
of any event which is, or with the giving of written notice or the lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, its
status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.


 


Section 6.02          Acceleration.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or 6.01(g) hereof with respect to
the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Issuer, or the holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuer, with a copy to the Trustee, may declare the principal
of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable; provided, however,
that so long as any Credit Agreement Indebtedness remains outstanding, no such acceleration shall be effective until the
earlier of (1) five Business Days after the giving of written notice to the Issuer and the Representatives under the Credit
Agreements and (2) the day on which any Credit Agreement Indebtedness is accelerated. Upon such a declaration, such principal
and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with
respect to the Issuer occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes will become immediately due
and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders. Under certain circumstances, the
holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes
and its consequences.


 






    42 


     


    

 


In the event of any Event of Default specified
in Section 6.01(e) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default)
shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the holders of the Notes, if within
30 days after such Event of Default arose the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the
Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded
or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that
is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal
amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.


 


Section 6.03         
Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy
at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision
of the Notes or this Indenture.


 


The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even
if it does not possess any of the Notes 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. To the extent required by law,
all available remedies are cumulative.


 


Section 6.04         
Waiver of Past Defaults. Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration,
the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing
Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a Default arising
from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect
of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each holder affected. When a Default is waived,
it is deemed cured and the Issuer, the Trustee and the holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this
Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.


 






    43 


     


    

 


Section 6.05          Control
by Majority. The holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes outstanding may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, if the
Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the
Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or
trustees and/or Trust Officers shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in
personal liability or expense for which it is not adequately indemnified, or subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee
determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder (it being understood the Trustee does not have an
affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such directions are unduly prejudicial to any holder) or that would involve the
Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to
indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such
action.


 


Section 6.06         
Limitation on Suits.


 


(a)              
Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder may pursue
any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:


 


(i)                such holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing,


 


(ii)             
holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy,


 


(iii)           
such holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability
or expense,


 


(iv)            
the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security
or indemnity, and


 


(v)              the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent
with such request within such 60-day period.


 


(b)              A holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another holder or to obtain a preference or priority over
another holder.


 


Section 6.07         
Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right
of any holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Notes held by such holder, on or after the respective due
dates expressed or provided for in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.


 






    44 


     


    

 


Section 6.08          Collection
Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes
for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid
interest at the rate provided for in the Notes) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.


 


Section 6.09         
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim, statements of interest and other
papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable
compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other professionals
as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the
Issuer, its creditors or its property, shall be entitled to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee
of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the holders
in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.


 


Section 6.10         
Priorities. Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI and any other
money or property distributable in respect of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default shall
be applied in the following order:


 


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


 


SECOND: to the holders for amounts
due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and


 


THIRD: to the Issuer.


 


The Trustee may fix a record date and payment
date for any payment to the holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall
mail to each holder and the Issuer a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.


 


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 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
Notes.


 


Section 6.12         
Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter
in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer hereby expressly waives all benefit
or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but
shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.


 






    45 


     


    

 


Article VII


 


TRUSTEE


 


Section 7.01         
Duties of Trustee.


 


(a)              
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes and after the curing or waiving of
all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth
in this Indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested
in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.


 


(b)              
Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:


 


(i)                
the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee (it being agreed that the permissive right
of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty); and


 


(ii)             
in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Indenture. The Trustee shall be under no duty to make any investigation as to any statement contained in any such instance,
but may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statement or the correctness of such opinions.
However, in the case of certificates or opinions required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the Trustee shall examine
the 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 or other facts stated therein).


 






    46 


     


    

 


(c)              
The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own
willful misconduct, except that:


 


(i)                
this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section;


 


(ii)             
the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that
the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;


 


(iii)           
the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05; and


 


(iv)            
no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise Incur financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.


 


(d)              
Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section 7.01.


 


(e)              
The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with
the Issuer.


 


(f)               
Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.


 


(g)              
Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01.


 


Section 7.02         
Rights of Trustee.


 


(a)              
The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.


 


(b)              
Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel
or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officer’s
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.


 


(c)              
The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed
with due care.


 






    47 


     


    

 


(d)               The
Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be
authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not
constitute willful misconduct or negligence.


 


(e)              
The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters
relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any
action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.


 


(f)               
The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document
unless requested in writing to do so by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding,
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 Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney, at the expense of the Issuer and shall Incur no liability of any
kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.


 


(g)              
The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request
or direction of any of the holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or
indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be Incurred by it in compliance with
such request or direction.


 


(h)              
The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified,
are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other
Person employed to act hereunder.


 


(i)                
The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith at the direction of the
holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings
for any remedy available to the Trustee or the exercising of any power conferred by this Indenture.


 


(j)                
Any action taken, or omitted to be taken, by the Trustee in good faith pursuant to this Indenture upon the request or authority
or consent of any person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note
shall be conclusive and binding upon future holders of Notes and upon Notes executed and delivered in exchange therefor or in place
thereof.


 






    48 


     


    

 


(k)               The
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.


 


(l)                
The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or
titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate
may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized
in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.


 


(m)            
The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind
whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood
of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of actions.


 


(n)              
The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the trusts and powers under
this Indenture.


 


(o)              
The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this
Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without
limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots;
interruptions; loss or malfunction of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes;
and acts of civil or military authorities and governmental action.


 


Section 7.03         
Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
Any Paying Agent or Registrar 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 shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the
validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from
the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection
with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall not
be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under Sections 6.01(d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) or of the identity of
any Significant Subsidiary unless either (a) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof or (b) the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof in accordance with Section 10.02 hereof from the Issuer or any holder. In accepting the trust
hereby created, the Trustee acts solely as Trustee for the holders of the Notes and not in its individual capacity and all persons,
including without limitation the holders of Notes and the Issuer having any claim against the Trustee arising from this Indenture
shall look only to the funds and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder for payment except as otherwise provided herein.


 






    49 


     


    

 


Section 7.05          Notice
of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to
each holder notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a
Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal
of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the holders. The Issuer is required to deliver to the
Trustee, annually, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous
year. The Issuer also is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of
any event which would constitute certain Defaults, their status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take in
respect thereof.


 


Section 7.06         
[Reserved].


 


Section 7.07         
Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation, as the
Issuer and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing, for the Trustee’s acceptance of this Indenture and its services
hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The
Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses Incurred or made by it, including costs
of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee,
its officers, directors, employees and agents, and hold each of them harmless, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage
or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) Incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration
of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against
the Issuer (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the
Issuer, any holder or any other Person). The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of
the Notes or the removal or resignation of the Trustee. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer of any claim for which it may seek
indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the
Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the indemnified
party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate
counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer shall
not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’
reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and such parties in connection with such defense. The
Issuer needs not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense Incurred by an indemnified party through
such party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.


 






    50 


     


    

 


To secure the Issuer’s payment
obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or
collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.


 


The Issuer’s payment obligations pursuant
to this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture
under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee
under applicable law, when the Trustee Incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g)
with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.


 


No provision of this Indenture shall require
the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise Incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not assured to its satisfaction.


 


Section 7.08         
Replacement of Trustee.


 


(a)              
The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes
may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if:


 


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


 


(ii)             
the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;


 


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


 


(iv)            
the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.


 


(b)              
If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Issuer or by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such
holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason
(the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.


 


(c)              
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon
the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights,
powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the holders.
The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided
for in Section 7.07. The retiring or removed Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for the action or inaction
of any successor Trustee, unless such action or inaction of any successor Trustee was directly caused by or as a direct result
of the retiring or removed Trustee’s willful misconduct or negligence.


 






    51 


     


    

 


(d)              
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Trustee or the holders of 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.


 


(e)              
If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in
Section 310(b) of the TIA, any holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note for at least six months may petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.


 


(f)               
Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.


 


Section 7.09         
Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving
or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.


 


In case at the time such successor or successors
by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall
have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated,
any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or
in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.


 


Section 7.10         
Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of
the TIA. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published
annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA, subject to its right to apply for a stay of
its duty to resign under the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that there shall
be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA any series of securities issued under this Indenture and any indenture
or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer are outstanding
if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA are met.


 


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

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE


 


Section 8.01         
Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance.


 


(a)              
This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration
of transfer or exchange of Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes when:


 


(i)                
either (A) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been
replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the
Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or
(B) all of the Notes (1) have become due and payable, (2) will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year
or (3) if redeemable at the option of the Issuer, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory
to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer
has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient, as determined by the Issuer,
to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuer directing
the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; provided that upon
any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this
Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date
of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of the redemption only required to be deposited with the Trustee on
or prior to the date of the redemption;


 


(ii)             
the Issuer has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture; and

Indenture (with respect to the holders of the Notes) (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its
obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.08, 4.09, 4.12, 4.13 and 4.15 and the operation of clause (iv) of Section 5.01(a) for

Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer only) or 6.01(h) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Issuer
may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.


 


If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance
option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Issuer exercises its covenant
defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections
6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer only), 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries
of the Issuer only) or  6.01(h).

Section 8.02         
Conditions to Defeasance.


 


(a)              
The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:


 


(i)                
the Issuer irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination
thereof in an amount sufficient or U.S. Government Obligations, the principal of and the interest on which will be sufficient,
or a combination thereof sufficient, to pay the principal of and premium (if any) and interest on the Notes when due at maturity
or redemption, as the case may be, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date;


 


(ii)             
the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing
their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations
plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to
pay principal, premium, if any, and interest when due on all the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;


 


(iii)           
123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g)
with respect to the Issuer occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;


 






    54 


     


    

 


(iv)            
the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Issuer;


 


(v)              
in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating
that (1) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (2) since the
date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and
based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income
tax purposes as a result of such deposit and 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred; provided that
upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes
of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the
date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of the redemption only required to be deposited with the Trustee
on or prior to the date of the redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by the immediately preceding
sentence with respect to a legal defeasance need not be delivered if all of the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation (x) have become due and payable or (y) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense,
of the Issuer;

Notes on or after the due dates therefore or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s
Notes;


 


(vii)         
in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and
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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and


 


(viii)       
the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes to be so defeased and discharged as contemplated by this Article VIII
have been complied with.


 


(b)              
Before or after a deposit, the Issuer may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of such Notes
at a future date in accordance with Article III.


 






    55 


     


    

 


Section 8.03          Application
of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations (including proceeds thereof)
deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. The Trustee shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S.
Government Obligations through each Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes so discharged or defeased.


 


Section 8.04         
Repayment to Issuer. Each of the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon
request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article VIII which, in the written opinion
of nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee (which delivery shall only be required
if U.S. Government Obligations have been so deposited), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be
deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance with this Article VIII.


 


Subject to any applicable abandoned property
law, the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal
or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment
as general creditors, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.


 


Section 8.05         
Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received
on such U.S. Government Obligations.


 


Section 8.06         
Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations
in accordance with this Article VIII by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court
or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under
this Indenture and the Notes so discharged or defeased shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or any Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment
of principal of, or interest on, any such Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated
to the rights of the holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee
or any Paying Agent.

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the holders entitled to
give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If
a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were holders at such record
date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent
previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be holders after such record date. No such

Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuer
may require the holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding
the changed terms and return it to the holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange

notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.


 


Section 9.06         
Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant
to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in conclusively
relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized
or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Issuer, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions
hereof (including Section 9.03).


 


Section 9.07         
Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount. All Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent
together on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote) as one class and no Notes will have the right to vote or consent
as a separate class on any matter. Determinations as to whether holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have
concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article IX and Section 2.14.

must deliver to the Registrar (1) a written order from an Agent Member given to the Depository in accordance with the applicable

(iii)           
Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in a Transfer Restricted

Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.2(b)(ii) above and the Registrar receives the
following:


 


(A)            
if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, then the transferor
must deliver a certificate in the form attached to the applicable Note; and


 


(B)

receives the following:


 






    Appendix A-5

from such holder in the form attached to the applicable Note,


 


and, in each such case, if the Issuer or the Registrar
so requests or if the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable
to the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions
on transfer contained herein and in the Restricted Notes Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the
Securities Act. If any such transfer or exchange is effected pursuant to this subparagraph (iv) at a time when an Unrestricted
Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an written order of the Issuer in the form of
an Officer’s Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global
Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred or exchanged

Interest


 


NCL CORPORATION LTD, an exempted company
incorporated under the laws of Bermuda (and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein
called the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown
above. The Issuer shall pay interest semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment
Date”), commencing [ ]2.
Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest
has been paid or duly provided for, from December 16, 2019, until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes,
and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.


 


2.                 
Method of Payment


 


The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders at the close of business on June 1 and December 1 (each a
“Record Date”) next preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled after the Record Date and
on or before the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must surrender Notes to the Paying Agent to collect
principal payments. The Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States of America that
at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by
a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to the accounts specified by the Depository or any successor depositary. The Issuer shall make all payments in respect of a certificated
Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the
Issuer, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each holder thereof; provided, however,
that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes,
by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such holder elects payment
by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than
30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).


 


3.                 
Paying Agent and Registrar


 


Initially, U.S. Bank National
Association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may appoint and change any
Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. The Issuer or any of its domestically incorporated Subsidiaries may act as Paying
Agent or Registrar.

Additional Amounts


 


All payments made by the Issuer under
or with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any
present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other
liabilities related thereto) (collectively, “Taxes”) unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is
then required by law. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of
(1) any jurisdiction in which the Issuer is then incorporated, or resident or doing business for tax purposes or any
department or political subdivision thereof or therein or (2) any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made or any
department or political subdivision thereof or therein (each, a “Tax Jurisdiction”), will at any time be
required to be made from any payments made by the Issuer under or with respect to the Notes including payments of principal,
redemption price, purchase price, interest or premium, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts (the “Additional
Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each holder
after such withholding or deduction (including any such deduction or withholding from such Additional Amounts) will equal the
respective amounts which would have been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or
deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to: (1) any Taxes, to the
extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the holder or
the beneficial owner of the Notes and the relevant Tax Jurisdiction (other than solely from the mere acquisition, ownership,
holding or disposition of such Note, the enforcement of rights under such Note and/or the receipt of any payments in respect
of such Note); (2) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the failure of the holder or the
beneficial owner of the Notes, following the Issuer’s written request to the holder, at least 30 days before any such
withholding or deduction would be payable, to comply with any certification, identification, information or other reporting
requirements, whether required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Tax Jurisdiction, as a
precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Tax
Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Tax
Jurisdiction), but in each case, only to the extent the holder or the beneficial owner is legally entitled to provide such
certification or documentation; (3) any Taxes, to the extent such Taxes were imposed as a result of the presentation of a
Note for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for
payment to the holder (except to the extent that the holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the note been
presented on the last day of such 30 day period); (4) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or
similar tax or assessment; (5) any Taxes payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments made under or with
respect to any Note; (6) any Taxes that are imposed or levied pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) as of the date hereof (or any amended or successor version that is
substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations or official
interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code as of the date hereof (or any
amended or successor version as described above) and any intergovernment agreement (and any related laws, legislation, rules
and official administrative guidance) implementing any of the foregoing; or (7) any combination of clauses (1) through
(6).


 






    Ex. A-7


     


    

 


In addition to the foregoing, the Issuer will
also pay and indemnify the holder for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, transfer, court or documentary taxes, or
any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto)
which are levied by any jurisdiction on the execution, delivery, issuance, or registration of any of the Notes, the Indenture,
or any other document or instrument referred to therein, or the receipt of any payments with respect to, or enforcement of, the
Notes (such sum being recoverable from the Issuer as a liquidated sum payable as a debt).


 


If the Issuer becomes aware that it will be
obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes, the Issuer will deliver to
the Trustee on a date which is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts
arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Issuer shall notify the Trustee promptly thereafter) notice
stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The notice must also set forth
any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agents to pay Additional Amounts to holders on the relevant payment
date. The Issuer will provide the Trustee with documentation evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts.


 


The Issuer will make all withholdings
and deductions (within the time period and in the minimum amount) required by law and will remit the full amount deducted or
withheld to the relevant Tax authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer will use its reasonable efforts to
obtain Tax receipts from each Tax authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld. The Issuer will
furnish to the Trustee (or to a holder upon request), within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any Taxes so
deducted or withheld is made, certified copies of Tax receipts evidencing payment by the Issuer, or if, notwithstanding such
entity’s efforts to obtain receipts, receipts are not obtained, other evidence of payments (reasonably satisfactory to
Trustee) by such entity.


 






    Ex. A-8


     


    

 


Whenever in the Indenture there is mentioned,
in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Notes or of principal, interest or of any other amount
payable under, or with respect to, any of the Notes, such mention shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts,
if applicable.


 


The above obligations will survive any termination,
defeasance or discharge of the Indenture and will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person
to the Issuer is incorporated, or resident or doing business for tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which such Person
makes any payment on the Notes and any department or political subdivision thereof or therein.


 


6.

on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on December 15 of the years set forth
below:

Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 10 nor more than
60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each holder’s registered address, or delivered electronically if
held by the Depository, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium
as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record
on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).


 






    Ex. A-9


     


    

 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any
time and from time to time on or prior to December 15, 2021, the Issuer may also redeem in the aggregate up to 40% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) in an aggregate
amount equal to the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings (1) by the Issuer or (2) by any direct or indirect
parent of the Issuer to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of the Issuer
or used to purchase Capital Stock of the Issuer from it, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount
thereof) of 103.625%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of
holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date); provided, however,
that at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of
Additional Notes) must remain outstanding after each such redemption; provided, further, that such redemption
shall occur within 180 days after the date on which any such Equity Offering is consummated upon not less than 10 nor more
than 60 days’ notice mailed, or delivered electronically if held by the Depository, to each holder of Notes being
redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.


 


Notice of any redemption may be subject to
one or more conditions precedent. If such redemption or purchase is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent,
such notice shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption
date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur
and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date,
or by the redemption date as so delayed. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price
and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.


 


7.                 
Mandatory Redemption


 


The Issuer shall not be required to make any
mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.


 


8.                 
Notice of Redemption


 


Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class
mail, or delivered electronically if held by the Depository, at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date
to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at his, her or its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be
redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid
interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or before
the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes
(or such portions thereof) called for redemption.


 






    Ex. A-10


     


    

 


9.                 
Redemption for Changes in Taxes


 


The Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole
but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice to
the holders, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date and all Additional Amounts, (if any), which otherwise would be payable,
if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Notes, the Issuer would be required to pay Additional
Amounts, and the Issuer cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it, as a result of:
(1) any amendment to, or change in, the laws or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of a relevant Tax Jurisdiction
which is announced and becomes effective after the date of the Offering Memorandum (or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became
a Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the date of the Offering Memorandum, such later date); or (2) any amendment to, or change in,
an official interpretation or application regarding such laws, regulations or rulings, including by virtue of a holding, judgment
or order by a court of competent jurisdiction which is announced and becomes effective after the date of the Offering Memorandum
(or, if the applicable Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the date of the Offering Memorandum, such later
date).


 


The Issuer will not give any such notice of
redemption earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to make such payment or withholding
if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due, and, at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts
must remain in effect.


 


Prior to the publication or, where relevant,
mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee (i) an opinion
of independent tax counsel, the choice of such counsel to be subject to the prior written approval of the Trustee (such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld) to the effect that there has been such change or amendment which would entitle the Issuer to redeem
the Notes hereunder and (ii) a certificate signed by an officer of the Issuer stating that the Issuer cannot avoid any obligation
to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it.


 


10.             
Repurchase of Notes at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control Triggering Event

to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the holders of record
on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), as provided in, and subject to the
terms of, the Indenture.

required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for
redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or to transfer or
exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuer at their written request
unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, the holders entitled to the money must look
to the Issuer for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect
to such monies.


 


15.             
Discharge and Defeasance

at any time may terminate some of or all its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee

Amendment; Waiver


 


Subject to certain exceptions set forth
in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes and (ii) any past default or compliance with any provisions
may be waived with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.
Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any holder, the Issuer and the Trustee may
amend the Indenture or the Notes (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to provide for
the assumption by a Successor Issuer of the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes; (iii) [Reserved];
(iv) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; provided, however,
that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such
that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code; (v) to conform the text of the Indenture or
the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum to the extent that
such provision in the “Description of Notes” was intended (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate
of the Issuer) to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture or the Notes; (vi) to add a subsidiary guarantor
with respect to the Notes or to add collateral to secure the Notes; (vii) [Reserved]; (viii) [Reserved]; (ix) to add to the
covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer by the
Indenture; (x) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualifying or maintaining the qualification of,
the Indenture under the TIA; (xi) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder; or (xii) to
provide for the issuance of Additional Notes, which shall have terms substantially identical in all material respects to the
Initial Notes, and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding Initial Notes, as a single issue of securities.


 


17.             
Defaults and Remedies


 


If an Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee by written notice to the Issuer, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case,
by written notice to the Issuer, with a copy to the Trustee, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid
interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of the Issuer occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately
due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders. Under certain circumstances, the
holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes
and its consequences.


 


If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the
request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security
satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions are complied with. Except to
enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder may pursue any remedy
with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (i) such holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an
Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested
the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request
within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such
60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are
given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction (i) that
conflicts with law or the Indenture, (ii) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceeding
so directed may not lawfully be taken, (iii) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive
committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Trust Officers shall determine that the action or proceeding
so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense for which it is not adequately indemnified or (iv)
that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the Trustee in
personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification
satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuer
or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.


 


19.             
No Recourse Against Others


 


No director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator
or holder of any Equity Interests in the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent corporation, as such, shall have any liability
for any obligations of the Issuer under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation. Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.

The undersigned represents and warrants to
you that:


 


1.                 
We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account
of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $100,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring
the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We
have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our
investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We,
and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

2.                  We
understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except
as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we
are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of
the date of original issue and the last date on which either the Issuer or any affiliate of such Issuer was the owner of such
Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) in the United
States to a person whom we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in rule 144A under the
Securities Act) in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (b) outside the United States in an offshore
transaction in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (c) pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder (if applicable) or (d) pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (a) through (d) in accordance with any applicable
securities laws of any state of the United States. In addition, we will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify
any purchaser of the Note evidenced hereby of the resale restrictions set forth above. The foregoing restrictions on resale
will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is
proposed to be made to an institutional “accredited investor” prior to the Resale Restriction Termination
Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Issuer and
the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional
“accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and
that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each
purchaser acknowledges that the Issuer and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to
the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause 1(b), 1(c) or 1(d) above to require the delivery of
an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee.
