be deemed to be the principal amount of such Securities as of any such date for any purpose thereunder or hereunder, including the principal amount thereof which shall be due and payable upon any
date other than the Stated Maturity or which shall be deemed to be outstanding as of any date prior to the Stated Maturity (or, in any such case, the manner in which such amount deemed to be the principal amount shall be determined); 

(15) if applicable, that any Securities of the series shall be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more
Global Securities and, in such case, the respective Depositories for such Global Securities, the form of any legend or legends which shall be borne by any such Global Security in addition to or in lieu of that set forth in Section 2.17 and any

 All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical
except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 2.03) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers’ Certificate referred
to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. 
 If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken
pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate
setting forth the terms of the series. 
 The Securities shall be general unsecured senior obligations of the Company and will
rank equally with all other unsecured senior indebtedness of the Company from time to time outstanding. 
 SECTION 2.02.
Form. 
 The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication with respect thereto shall be substantially
in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1, which is incorporated in and forms a part of this Indenture or such form established by one or more Board Resolutions adopted with respect of such series or established in one or more indentures
supplemental hereto; in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or
endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or Depository therefor or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution
thereof. If the form of Securities of any series is established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered
to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 2.03 for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. 

The Securities shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global Securities in registered form and deposited with the
Trustee, as custodian for the Depository. The aggregate principal amount of any Global Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository. 

 

 7 








 The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rule or usage to
which the Company is subject. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Securities shall constitute, and are expressly made,
a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and agree to be bound thereby. 

SECTION 2.03. Execution and Authentication. 

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
President, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Controller, Assistant Controller, Secretary, Assistant Secretary or any Vice President. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 

If a Person whose signature is on a Security occupied a particular office at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office
at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless. 
 At any time and from time to
time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities,
the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, 

(1) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by
Section 2.02, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(2) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by
Section 2.01, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

(3) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and
subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 

If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such
Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not unsatisfactory to the Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of any series are not to be
originally issued at one time, unless otherwise requested by the Trustee, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.01 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise
required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be
issued. 
 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such

  

 8 








 
Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.12, and shall provide with Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such Security has never been issued
and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be
specified as contemplated by Section 2.01. In the absence of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. 
 SECTION 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company shall maintain an office or agency in a Place of Payment where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or
for exchange (the “Registrar”), and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company, if any, in respect
of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more additional Paying Agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any
additional Paying Agent. 
 The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement, which shall incorporate the provisions
of the TIA, with any Agent that is not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent. If the
Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee upon notice provided to it by the Company, shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with
Section 7.07. 
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and Agent for service of notices and
demands in connection with the Securities and this Indenture and the Company may change the Registrar, Paying Agent and Agent without prior notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent. 

SECTION 2.05. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. 

Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal of or premium or interest on the Securities (whether such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities), and the Company and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Company (or any
other obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment. Money held in trust by the Paying Agent need not be segregated except as required by law and in no event shall the Paying Agent be liable for any interest on any money received by it
hereunder; provided that if the Company or an Affiliate thereof acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require the Paying Agent to pay
all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2), upon written request to the Paying Agent, require the
Paying Agent to pay forthwith all money so held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon making such payment, the 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 the Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date for Securities of any series, 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 the Holders of Securities of such series; provided that, as long as the Trustee is the Registrar, no such list need be
furnished.

 SECTION 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. 

Subject to Section 2.16, when Securities of any series are presented to the Registrar with a request from the Holder of such
Securities to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of such series of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested. Every Security presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorneys duly authorized in writing.
To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall issue and execute and the Trustee shall authenticate new Securities of the same series evidencing such transfer or exchange at the Registrar’s request. No service charge
shall be made to the Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange. The Company may require from the Holder payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer taxes or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer
exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.07 or 8.05 (in which events the Company shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes). If the transfer is requested in connection with a lost
certificate, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnity not unsatisfactory to the Trustee as a condition to making such transfer as provided in Section 2.08 hereof. The Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any
Security for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the redemption of Securities of such series, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

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

Except as expressly provided herein, neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall have any duty to monitor the Company’s compliance
with or have any responsibility with respect to the Company’s compliance with any Federal or state securities laws. 
 The
Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including
any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when
expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depository. 

SECTION 2.08. Replacement Securities. 

If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been
lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same series if the Holder of such Security furnishes to the Company and the Trustee evidence satisfactory to them of the
ownership and the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date of this Indenture are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an
indemnity bond shall be posted, sufficient in the judgment of all to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Paying Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Security is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for the
Company’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing such Security and the Trustee may charge the Company for the Trustee’s expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in replacing such Security.
Every replacement Security shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Company. 
 SECTION 2.09. Outstanding
Securities. 
 The Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities that have been authenticated by the Trustee except
for (a) those canceled by it, (b) those delivered to it for cancellation, (c) to the extent set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02, on or after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 or 9.02

  

 10 








 
have been satisfied, those Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered by the Trustee hereunder and (d) those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Subject to
Section 2.10, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Security. 

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Security is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company. 

If the Paying Agent holds, in its capacity as such, on any Maturity Date, money sufficient to pay all accrued interest and principal with
respect to the Securities payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them
ceases to accrue. 
 SECTION 2.10. Treasury Securities. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of any series have concurred in any declaration of
acceleration or Notice of Default or direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Securities of such series owned by the Company or any other Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded as though
they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Securities of
such series as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actually received an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Securities are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities of such series so owned which have been pledged in good
faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee established to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company any other obligor on such Securities or any of
their respective Affiliates. 
 SECTION 2.11. Temporary Securities. 

Until definitive Securities of any series are prepared and ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate
temporary Securities of such series. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities of the same series but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable
delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities of any series in exchange for temporary Securities of such series. Until such exchange, temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and
privileges as definitive Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 2.12. Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the
Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall deliver such
canceled Securities to the Company upon request therefor. The Company may not reissue or resell, or issue new Securities of any series to replace Securities of such series that the Company has redeemed or paid, or that have been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.13. Defaulted Interest. 

If the Company defaults on a payment of interest on any series of Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent
permitted by law) any interest payable on the defaulted interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law), in accordance with the terms hereof, to the Persons who are Holders of such series of Securities on a
subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date. The Company shall fix such special record date and payment date in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee. At least 10 days before such special
record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder of such series of Securities a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. The
Company may make payment of any defaulted interest in any 
  

 11 








 
other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements (if applicable) of any securities exchange on which the Securities of such series may be listed and, upon such notice as may be required
by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this sentence and such other evidence as the Trustee shall require, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

 SECTION 2.14. CUSIP Number. 

The Company in issuing the Securities of any series may use a “CUSIP” number, and if so, such CUSIP number shall be included in
notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders of such series; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the
Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any such CUSIP number used by the Company in connection with the issuance of the
Securities and of any change in the CUSIP number; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation to independently verify the accuracy of any CUSIP number. 

SECTION 2.15. Deposit of Moneys. 

Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date, the Company shall have deposited with the
Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Trustee to remit payment to the Holders on such
Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. The principal and interest on Global Securities shall be payable to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global
Securities represented thereby. The principal and interest on Physical Securities shall be payable, either in person or by mail, at the office of the Paying Agent. 

SECTION 2.16. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities. 

(a) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depository designated for such Global
Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depository or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 

(b) Members of, or direct or indirect participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this
Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization (which may be in electronic form) furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a
Holder of any Security. 
 (c) Transfers of Global Securities shall be limited to transfer in whole, but not in part, to the
Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Securities of any series may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Securities of such series in accordance with the rules and procedures of the
Depository. In addition, a Global Security shall be exchangeable for Physical Securities if (i) the Depository (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Security or (y) has
ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, with respect to (x) or (y), the Company thereupon fails to appoint a successor depository within 90 days of such notice or cessation, (ii) the Company, at its option,
notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of such Physical Securities in exchange for any or all of the Securities of any series represented by the Global Securities of such series or (iii) there shall have occurred
and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series. In all cases, Physical Securities delivered in exchange for any Global Security or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any
approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depository (in accordance with its customary procedures). 
  

 12 








 (d) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in
any Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Securities are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security of
such series in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security of such series to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon receipt of a written order from the Company
authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount. 
 (e) In connection
with the transfer of Global Securities of any series as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Global Securities of such series shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Securities of such series, an equal aggregate principal amount of
Physical Securities of authorized denominations. 
 (f) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Securities of any series
that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Security of such series shall, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Security and become an interest in such other Global Security and,
accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Security for as long as it remains such an interest. 

(g) The Holder of any Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may
hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities. 

(h) None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of
Depository records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any Depository records relating to such beneficial ownership interests, or for transfers
of beneficial interests in the Securities or any transactions between the Depositary and beneficial owners. 
 SECTION 2.17.
Legend for Global Security. 
 Unless otherwise specified as provided in Section 2.01 for the Securities evidenced
thereby, every Global Security authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the
name of a Depository or a nominee thereof. This Security may not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Security registered, and no transfer of this Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than such Depository
or a nominee thereof, except in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.18. Computation of
Interest. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, interest on the Securities shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 SECTION 2.19. Calculation of Original Issue Discount.

 The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the
amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on outstanding series of Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then
be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. 
  

 13 








 SECTION 2.20. Record Dates. 

(a) The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of outstanding Securities of any series
entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that
the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no
action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date
such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the
Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 7.06. 
 (b)
The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration
referred to in Section 6.02, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 6.06(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 6.05, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record
date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities of such series on such
record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series. 
 (c) With
respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day;
provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series, on or prior to the existing Expiration
Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the
Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may
do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

 ARTICLE III 

REDEMPTION 

SECTION 3.01. Applicability of Article. 

Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article. 
 SECTION
3.02. Election To Redeem; Notices to Trustee. 
 If the Company elects to redeem the Securities of any series, the
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee) of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed and the calculation of
the Redemption Price, and deliver to the Trustee, no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate and if the Trustee shall request, such other documents or opinions stating that such redemption will comply
with the conditions contained herein and in the Securities of such series, as appropriate. Notice given to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.02 may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions
precedent. 
 SECTION 3.03. Selection by Trustee of Securities To Be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed on a pro rata
basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to procedures of the Depository). The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of the Securities that have denominations larger than $2,000. Securities and portions thereof the Trustee selects shall
be redeemed in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 equal to or greater than $2,000. For all purposes of this Indenture unless the context otherwise requires, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also
apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. 
 SECTION 3.04. Notice of Redemption. 

At least 30 days, and no more than 60 days, before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a notice of
redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his or her last address as the same appears on the registry books maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.04. 

The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including the CUSIP numbers thereof) and shall state: 

(i) the Redemption Date; 

(ii) the Redemption Price; 

(iii) if fewer than all outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the portion of the principal amount of
such Securities to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date and upon surrender of such Securities, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued; 

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

(v) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

 (vi) that unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Securities called for
redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; 
 (vii) if such notice is conditioned upon the
occurrence of one or more conditions precedent, the nature of such conditions precedent; and 
  

 15 








 (viii) the aggregate series and the principal amount of Securities of each
such series that are being redeemed. 
 At the Company’s written request made at least five Business Days prior to the date
on which notice is to be given, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s sole expense. 

SECTION 3.05. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.04 is mailed, unless conditioned upon one or more conditions as provided in
Section 3.04 (vii) hereof, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price, including any premium, plus interest accrued to the Redemption Date. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent,
such Securities shall be paid at the Redemption Price, including any premium, plus interest accrued to the Redemption Date; provided 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 Securities registered on the relevant record date; and provided, further, that if a Redemption Date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day. Such notice, if mailed in the manner provided in Section 3.03, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not
the Holder receives such notice. 
 SECTION 3.06. Deposit of Redemption Price. 

On or prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on each Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately
available funds money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have
been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay
the Redemption Price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on Securities called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Securities called for redemption will cease to
accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Securities will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price of and, subject to the first proviso in Section 3.05, accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities to the Redemption Date.
If any Security surrendered for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption Date until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of such Security and any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in
each case at the rate and in the manner provided in such Securities. 
 SECTION 3.07. Securities Redeemed in Part.

 Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the
Holder thereof a new Security of such series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the original Security in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Security surrendered, except that if a Global Security is so
surrendered, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Depository, a new Global Security of such series in denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security
so surrendered. 
 SECTION 3.08. Mandatory Redemption. 

The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities of any series, unless
otherwise specified in accordance with Section 2.01 when establishing the terms of such series of Securities.

COVENANTS 

SECTION 4.01. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. 

The Company covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the
Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. 
 SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of Office or
Agency. 
 The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where
Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of
such series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as
its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Company may also from time to time
designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of any one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no
such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 SECTION
4.03. Corporate Existence. 
 Subject to Article Five, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a corporation. 
 SECTION 4.04. Money for Securities Payments To
Be Held in Trust. 
 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Securities of any
series, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the
principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

Whenever the Company shall have a Paying Agent for the Securities of any series, it will, prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on
each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

The Company will cause the Paying Agent, other than the Trustee, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which the Paying
Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that the Paying Agent will: 
 (1)
hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of any series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided; 
 (2) give the Trustee notice of any Default by the Company in the making of any
payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of any series; and 
 (3) at any time
during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by the Paying Agent. 
  


 17 








 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct the Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or the Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which
such sums were held by the Company or the Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by the Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

SECTION 4.05. Maintenance of Properties. The Company will cause all of its properties used or useful in the conduct of its
business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and
improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall
prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from selling or otherwise disposing of for value its properties in the ordinary course of its business. 

SECTION 4.06. Insurance. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep all of its insurable properties
insured against loss or damage at least equal to their then full insurable value with financially sound and reputable insurance companies. 

SECTION 4.07. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the
same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful claims for labor,
materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings. 

SECTION 4.08. Provision of Financial Information. Whether or not the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, the Company will, to the extent permitted under the Exchange Act, file with the Commission the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the Company would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to
such Section 13 or 15(d) (the “Financial Statements”) if the Company were so subject, such documents to be filed with the Commission on or prior to the respective dates (the “Required Filing Dates”) by which the Company
would have been required so to file such documents if the Company were so subject. If the Company is not permitted to file the Financial Statements with the Commission, the Company will, within 15 days of each Required Filing Date (i) transmit
by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, without cost to such Holders, copies of the annual reports and quarterly reports which the Company would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company were subject to such Sections, and (ii) file with the Trustee copies of annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the Company would have been required to file with
the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company were subject to such Sections. 
 SECTION

 The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in Default in the performance and observance of any covenant, agreement
or condition contained in this Indenture, and if the Company shall be in Default, specifying all such Defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

The Company may: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person; or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets and Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person; if:

 (2) the Successor
Company assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture pursuant to agreements not unsatisfactory to the Trustee; and 

(3) immediately after such transaction no Default exists. 

The Successor Company will be the successor to the Company and shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and

 ARTICLE VI 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. 

The following events shall be “Events of Default” with respect to Securities of any series: 

(1) a failure to pay interest upon any Security of such series that continues for a period of 30 days after payment is
due; 
 (2) a failure to pay the principal or premium, if any, on any Security of such series when due upon
Stated Maturity, by declaration, redemption or otherwise; 
 (3) a failure to perform any of the Company’s
other covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a Default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture
solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than such series) applicable to the Securities of any series, for a period of 60 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee from the Holders of at
least 25% of the principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding specifying such Default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; 

(4) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(A) commences a voluntary insolvency proceeding; 

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary insolvency proceeding or consents to its
dissolution or winding-up; 
 (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of
its property; or 
 (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or takes any comparable
action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; 
 (5) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or
decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 
 (A) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary insolvency
proceeding; 
 (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for any substantial part of its property; 

(C) orders the winding-up, liquidation or dissolution of the Company; 

 

 19 








 (D) orders the presentation of any plan or arrangement, compromise or
reorganization of the Company; or 
 (E) grants any similar relief under any foreign laws; and in each such case
the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days; and 
 (6) the failure to deposit any sinking,
purchase or analogous fund payment in respect of any Securities of such series that continues for a period of 30 days after payment is due. 

The foregoing will 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. 

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission. 

If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(4)
and 6.01(5)) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the registered Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding may declare to be immediately due and payable the
principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all such Securities then outstanding by written notice to the
Company and the Trustee, plus accrued but unpaid interest to the date of acceleration. In case an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(4) and 6.01(5) shall occur, such amount with respect to all such Securities shall be automatically due
and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of such Securities. After any such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the registered
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Securities then outstanding may rescind and annul such acceleration (i) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) if all existing Events of Default
have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is permitted under applicable law, interest on overdue
installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (iv) if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its
expenses, disbursements and advances and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07 and (v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in either Section 6.01(4) or (5), the Trustee
shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and such other documentation as the Trustee may request, to the effect that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right
consequent thereto. 
 Subject to Section 7.01, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to
any series of Securities, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of such series of Securities, unless such Holders shall have offered to
the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.07, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such series of Securities then outstanding will have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such Securities. 

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to any series of Securities, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by
proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of such series or this Indenture and may take
any necessary action requested of it as Trustee to settle, compromise, adjust or otherwise conclude any proceedings to which it is a party. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities of such series or does not produce any of them in
the proceeding. Any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee 
  

 20 








 
may be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements of
the Trustee and its counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing
upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative, to the extent permitted by law. Any
costs associated with actions taken by the Trustee under this Section 6.03 shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Company. 

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults and Events of Default. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series may on behalf of the Holders of
all the affected Securities waive any past Default with respect to such Securities and its consequences by providing written notice thereof to the Company and the Trustee; provided the Securities of any series are not then due and payable by
reason of a declaration of acceleration, except a Default (1) in the payment of interest on or the principal of any Security or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture,
respectively; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. 

The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may direct the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction for which it has not received indemnity satisfactory to
the Trustee that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of the affected Securities not joining in the
giving of such direction, and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of such Securities. 

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder of any Security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (1) the Holder gives the Trustee
written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series, 
 (2) the Holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities of such series of the relevant series make a written request to the Trustee to institute such proceeding or pursue such remedy as trustee, 

(3) such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or
expense, 
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the
offer of indemnity, and 
 (5) during such 60-day period the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series of the relevant series do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request. 

However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of any Security for enforcement of payment of the principal of,
and premium, if any, or interest on, such Security on or after the respective due date expressed in such Security. 
  

 21 








 SECTION 6.07. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and
Stockholders. 
 No director, manager, trustee, officer, employee, member, partner or stockholder of the Company shall have
any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities, or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities. This waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws. 

SECTION 6.08. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of the principal of or
premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Security or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Securities shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. 

SECTION 6.09. Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in
Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities of such series) for the whole amount of unpaid
principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid. 
 SECTION 6.10. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law, shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is
hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder
any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceedings. All rights of action
and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be
brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 SECTION 6.11. Priorities.

 If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

 FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07 or otherwise under this Indenture; 

SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the affected Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest as
to each, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities; and 

THIRD: to the Company with respect to any such series of Securities. 

 

 22 








 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to
this Section 6.11. 
 SECTION 6.12. Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by
a Holder pursuant to Section 6.08 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. 

ARTICLE VII 

TRUSTEE 

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. 

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

 The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible 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 Securities and this Indenture. 

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

(1) The Trustee need perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. 
 (2) In the absence of bad
faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture but, in the case of any such certificates which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they
conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon
an Officers’ Certificate, subject to the requirement in the preceding sentence, if applicable. 
 (c) The Trustee may not
be relieved from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 

(1) This paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 7.01(b). 

(2) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee, unless it is proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 

(3) 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 of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities received by it pursuant to the terms hereof. 
  

 23 








 (4) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights, powers or duties if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided,
Sections 7.01(a), (b), (c) and (e) shall govern every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee. 

(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Holders pursuant to 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. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by the law. 

SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee. 

Subject to Section 7.01: 

(1) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document (whether in its original or facsimile form) reasonably 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. 

(2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of
Counsel, or both, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 10.05. The Trustee shall be fully protected and shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in reliance on such certificate or opinion. 

(3) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of
any agent appointed by it. 
 (4) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in
good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. 

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

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

(7) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or
investigation into such facts or matters as it in its sole discretion, determines to do, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books records, and premises of the
Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 

(8) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it and reasonably believed
by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (9)
The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible 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 Securities and this Indenture. 
  

 24 








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

(11) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any
kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may make loans to, accept deposits
from, perform services for or otherwise deal with the either of the Company, or any Affiliate thereof, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, shall be subject to
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 Securities
and it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the sale of Securities or any money paid to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities or
this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the
statements made by it in any Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1 to be supplied to the Company will be true and accurate subject to the qualifications set forth therein. 

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default occurs with respect to Securities of any series, and such Default is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to each Holder of Securities of such series a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs in the manner and to the extent provided in the TIA and otherwise as provided in this Indenture. Except in the
case of a Default in payment of the principal of or interest on any Security (including payments pursuant to a redemption or repurchase of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so
long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders. 

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

If required by TIA § 313(a), within 60 days after June 15 of any year, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief
report dated as of such date that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c) and TIA
§ 313(d). 
 Reports pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall be transmitted by mail: 

(1) to all Holders of Securities, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Registrar’s books; and

 (2) to such Holders of Securities as have, within the two years preceding such transmission, filed their names
and addresses with the Trustee for that purpose. 
  

 25 








 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the
Commission and each stock exchange on which the Securities are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom. 

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Company shall pay to the Trustee and Agents from time to time such compensation for their services hereunder (which compensation
shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as shall be agreed upon in writing. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee and Agents upon request for all reasonable disbursements,
expenses and advances incurred or made by them in connection with the Trustee’s duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and external counsel, except any expense
disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
 The Company shall fully
indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including without limitation taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee or
such Agent) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or performance of its duties under this Indenture including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any
claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder (including, without limitation, settlement costs) or in connection with
enforcing the provisions of this Section 7.07. The Trustee or Agent shall notify the Company in writing promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge asserted against the Trustee or Agent for which it
may seek indemnity; provided that the failure by the Trustee or Agent to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Company is actually prejudiced thereby. 

The Trustee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and participate in the investigation and
defense thereof, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel; provided, however, that the Trustee may only employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company if in the judgment of the Trustee
(i) a conflict of interest exists by reason of common representation or (ii) there are legal defenses available to the Trustee that are different from or are in addition to those available to the Company or if all parties commonly
represented do not agree as to the action (or inaction) of counsel. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company need not
reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability to have been incurred by the Trustee through its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. 

To secure the payment obligations of the Company to the Trustee in this Section 7.07 or otherwise pursuant to this Indenture, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and such money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities. 

The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee, Agents and each predecessor Trustee
and to pay or reimburse the Trustee, Agents and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be the liability of the Company and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge or
other termination of this Indenture, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 When the Trustee
incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(4) or (5) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

 For purposes of this Section 7.07, the term “Trustee” shall include any trustee appointed pursuant to this
Article Seven. 
  

 26 








 SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. 

The Trustee shall comply with Section 313(b) of the TIA, to the extent applicable. 

The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company in writing no later than 15 Business Days prior to the date of the proposed
resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee of such series by notifying the Company and the removed Trustee of such series in writing and may appoint a successor
Trustee with the Company’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may remove the Trustee at its election if: 

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 of this Indenture or Section 310 of the TIA; 

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief entered with respect to the Trustee under
Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; and

 (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed with respect to the Securities of one or more series or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee
for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series
and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 7.10. 
 If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series may petition at the
expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction, in the case of the Trustee, for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment
to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately following such delivery, the retiring Trustee shall, subject to its rights under Section 7.07, transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder of the
affected Securities. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the
Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which
(1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or
those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or
change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution
and delivery of such supplemental indenture, and such other provisions as shall protect the retiring Trustee from claims 

 

 27 








 
hereunder and protect the repayment of series owed to such retiring Trustee, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 SECTION 7.09.
Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger, etc. 
 If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation, subject to Section 7.10, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided such entity shall be otherwise
qualified and eligible under this Article Seven. 
 SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. 

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5) in every
respect. The Trustee (together with its corporate parent) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in the most recent applicable published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA §
310(b), including the provision in § 310(b)(1); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of
interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met. 

SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who
has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 SECTION 7.12.
Paying Agents. 
 The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to it and the
Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.12: 

(A) that it will hold all sums held by it as agent for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on,
the Securities (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any obligor on the Securities) in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Securities or the Trustee; 

(B) that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon written request from the Trustee,
deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it together with a full accounting thereof; and 
 (C) that
it will give the Trustee written notice within three (3) Business Days of any failure of the Company (or by any obligor on the Securities) in the payment of any installment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities
when the same shall be due and payable.

with the terms of the Indenture; or 
 (xii) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this
Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities, provided that any such addition, change or elimination (A) shall neither (i) apply to any Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture
and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (ii) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or (B) shall become effective only when there is no such Security outstanding. 

SECTION 8.02. With Consent of Holders. 

(a) This Indenture may be amended with the consent of the registered Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities of each series affected by the amendment voting as one class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for such Securities), and any past Default or compliance with any provisions may
also be waived (except a Default in the payment of principal, premium or interest and under Section 8.02(b) below) with the consent of the registered Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities of the affected series voting as one class. 
 (b) However, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding
Security of the affected series, no amendment may, 
 (i) change the Stated Maturity of the Securities or the
time when the Securities may or shall be redeemed; 
 (ii) reduce the principal amount of, or any premium or
interest rate on, or any premium payable upon the redemption of any Security; 
 (iii) extend the time for
Payment of interest on the Securities; 
 (iv) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any
payment on or after the stated maturity of any Security (or in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date of any Security); 

(v) affect adversely the terms, if any, of conversion of any Security into the Company’s Capital Stock or other
securities or of any other corporation; or 
 (vi) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such amendment, supplement or any waiver (in compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain Defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided
for in this Indenture; and 
  

 29 








 (vii) modify any of the foregoing provisions or the provisions for the
waiver of certain covenants and Defaults, except to increase any applicable percentage of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities, the consent of the Holders of which is required or to provide with respect to any particular series
the right to condition the effectiveness of any amendment, supplement or waiver as to that series on the consent of the Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities of such series or to provide that
certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby. 

(c) The consent of the Holders of the Securities shall not be necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It
shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. 
 (d) After an amendment that requires
the consent of the Holders of the affected Securities becomes effective, the Company shall mail to each registered Holder of the affected Securities at such Holder’s address appearing in the security register a notice briefly describing such
amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders of such Securities, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of the amendment. 

(e) Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental
indenture, and upon the receipt by the Trustee of evidence not unsatisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 8.06, the Trustee shall join with the
Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, in which case the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into
such supplemental indenture. 
 SECTION 8.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 

SECTION 8.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

(a) After an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing
consent conclusive and binding upon such Holder and every subsequent Holder of the same Security or portion thereof, and of any Security issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is
not made on any such Security. 
 (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and
only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or
effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained. 

SECTION 8.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 

If an amendment, supplement, or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee (in accordance with the specific written direction of
the Company) shall request the Holder of the Security (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Company) to deliver it to the Trustee. In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed
terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make
the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
  

 30 








 SECTION 8.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Eight if the amendment, supplement or
waiver does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee, the Trustee may, but need not, sign such amendment, supplement or waiver. In signing
or refusing to sign any such amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating, in
addition to the matters required by Section 10.04, that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms (subject to customary exceptions). 
 ARTICLE IX 

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 

SECTION 9.01. Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance. 

(a) This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Securities issued hereunder when:

been replaced or paid and Securities for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (y) all the Securities that have not been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the affected Securities, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Obligations, in amounts as will

maturity or redemption; 
 (ii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this

some or all of its obligations under the outstanding Securities and this Indenture (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”) except for obligations under Sections 2.04, 2.07 and 2.08 and obligations under the TIA. The Company may
terminate its obligations under Section 6.01(4) and (5) on a date the conditions set forth in Section 9.02 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter, any omission to comply with any covenant
referred to above will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the Securities. The Company may exercise its Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its Covenant Defeasance option. 

(c) If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Securities, may not be accelerated because of an Event of
Default with respect thereto.

redemption;

 (2) since the date of this Indenture
there has been a change in the applicable U.S. Federal income tax law, to the effect, in either case, that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the affected Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss
for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance election and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such election has not
occurred; 
 (g) in the case of an election of Covenant Defeasance under Section 9.01, the Company delivers
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely, to the effect that the Holders of the affected Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant
Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such election had not occurred; and 

(h) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent to an election under 9.01 have been complied with as required by this Indenture. 
 SECTION 9.03.
Deposited Money and Government Obligations To Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 All money and
Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.02(a) in respect of the outstanding Securities shall be held in trust and applied 

 

 32 








 
by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent, to the Holders of such Securities, of all
sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.02(a) or the principal, premium, if any, and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding
Securities. 
 Anything in this Article Nine to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company
from time to time upon a request of the Company any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 9.02(a) which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

SECTION 9.04. Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01 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 Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be
revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Nine until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01; provided
that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or accrued interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to
receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 SECTION 9.05. Moneys
Held by Paying Agent. 
 In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by any
Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon written demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee, or if sufficient moneys have been deposited pursuant to Section 9.02(a), to the Company upon a request of the Company, and
thereupon the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys. 
 SECTION 9.06. Moneys
Held by Trustee. 
 Any moneys deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or then held by the Company in trust for the
payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Security that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holder of such Security for two years after the date upon which the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such
Security shall have respectively become due and payable shall be repaid to the Company upon a request of the Company, or if such moneys are then held by the Company in trust, such moneys shall be released from such trust; and the Holder of such
Security entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look solely to the Company for the payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or the Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon
cease; provided that the Trustee or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Company either mail to each Holder affected, at the address shown in the register of the Securities maintained
by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.04, or cause to be published once a week for two successive weeks, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New
York, New York, a notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such moneys then remaining will be
repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company or the release of any money held in trust by the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company for payment as general creditors.

 ARTICLE X 

SUBORDINATION 

SECTION 10.01. Agreement to Subordinate. 

The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Security agrees, that the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is subordinated in
right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt. 

SECTION 10.02. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. 

Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property: 
 (1) holders of Senior
Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the principal of and interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of any such proceeding) to the date of payment on the Senior Debt before Holders shall be entitled to
receive any payment of principal of or interest on Securities; 
 (2) until the Senior Debt is paid in full in
cash, any distribution to which Holders would be entitled but for this Article shall be made to holders of Senior Debt as their interests may appear, except that Holders may receive securities that are subordinated to Senior Debt to at least the
same extent as the Securities; and 
 (3) the Trustee is entitled to rely upon an order or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction or a certificate of a bankruptcy trustee or other similar official for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Debt and other Company debt, the amount thereof
or payable thereon and all other pertinent facts relating to the Trustee’s obligations under this Article Ten. 
 SECTION
10.03. Default on Senior Debt. 
 The Company may not pay principal of or interest on the Securities and may not acquire
any Securities for cash or property other than capital stock of the Company if: 
 (1) a default on Senior Debt
occurs and is continuing that permits holders of such Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity, and 
 (2) the
default is the subject of judicial proceedings or the Company receives a notice of the default from a person who may give it pursuant to Section 10.11. If the Company receives any such notice, a similar notice received within nine months
thereafter relating to the same default on the same issue of Senior Debt shall not be effective for purposes of this Section. 

The Company may resume payments on the Securities and may acquire them when: 

(3) the default is cured or waived, or 

(4) 120 days pass after the notice is given if the default is not the subject of judicial proceedings, 

if this Article otherwise permits the payment or acquisition at that time. 

SECTION 10.04. Acceleration of Securities. 

If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of
the acceleration. The Company may pay the Securities when 120 days pass after the acceleration occurs if this Article permits the payment at that time. 
  

 34 








 SECTION 10.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. 

If a distribution is made to Holders that because of this Article should not have been made to them, the Holders who receive the
distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Debt and pay it over to them as their interests may appear. 
 SECTION
10.06. Notice by the Company. 
 The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and any Paying Agent of any facts known to
the Company that would cause a payment of principal of or interest on Securities to violate this Article. 
 SECTION 10.07.
Subrogation. 
 After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full, Holders shall be
subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this
Article to holders of Senior Debt which otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on Senior Debt. 

SECTION 10.08. Relative Rights. 

This Article defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall: 

(1) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
principal of and interest on the Securities in accordance with their terms; 
 (2) affect the relative rights of
Holders and creditors of the Company other than holders of Senior Debt; or 
 (3) prevent the Trustee or any
Holder from exercising its available remedies upon an Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders. 

If the Company fails because of this Article to pay principal of or interest on a Security on the due date, the failure is still a default. 

SECTION 10.09. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Company. 

No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be impaired by
any act or failure to act by the Company or by its failure to comply with this Indenture. 
 SECTION 10.10. Distribution or
Notice to Representative. 
 Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the
distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative. 
 SECTION 10.11. Rights of Trustee and Paying
Agent. 
 The Trustee or any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Securities until it receives written notice
of facts that would cause a payment of principal of or interest on the Securities to violate this Article. Only the Company, a Representative or a holder of an issue of Senior Debt that has no Representative may give the written notice. 

The Trustee has no fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt other than as created under this Indenture. The Trustee in its individual
or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
 The Company’s
obligation to pay, and the Company’s payment of, the Trustee’s fees pursuant to Section 7.07 are excluded from the operation of this Article Ten.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] 

BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION 

[        ]%[SECURITY DUE] 20[ ] 

1. Interest. BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION, a Wisconsin corporation, as issuer (the “Company”), promises
to pay, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of [ ]% per annum. Interest hereon will accrue from and including the most recent date to which
interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including [ ] to but excluding the date on which interest is paid. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each [ ] and [ ], commencing [ ]. Interest will be computed on the basis of
a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue interest (to the full extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the Securities. 

2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest hereon (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders
at the close of business on [            ] and [            ] immediately preceding the interest payment date (whether or not a
Business Day). Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay to the Paying Agent principal 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. If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company may pay, or cause to be paid by the Paying Agent, all principal, interest on that Holder’s Securities in accordance with those
instructions. All other payments on the Securities will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the register
of Holders. 
 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially,
                                 (the “Trustee”) will act as a
Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

4. Indenture. This Security is of the series designated on the face hereof [limited in aggregate principal amount to
$            ]. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of
            , 20[ ] (the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument) between the Company and the Trustee. This is one of an
issue of Securities of the Company issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code
§§ 77aaa-77bbbb), as amended from time to time (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of them.
Capitalized and certain other terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture. 
 [5.
If applicable, insert — Optional Redemption. The Securities of this series are subject to redemption [if applicable, insert — [at any time] [on or after , 20__], as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company at the
Redemption Price equal to             ]. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of such price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to
such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person. Any such notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. 

[6. If applicable, insert — Redemption Procedures. The Trustee will select Securities called for redemption on a pro
rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to procedures of the Depository); provided that no Securities of $[            ] or less shall be
redeemed in part. A new Security of this series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security. Securities called for redemption pursuant to
this paragraph 6 hereto become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the date fixed for redemption, interest stops accruing on Securities or portions of them called for redemption.] 

 

 42 








 [7. If applicable, insert — Notice of Redemption. Notices of redemption shall be
mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Security of this series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of
redemption that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.] 
 [8. If the
Security is not an Original Issue Discount Security, insert — If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.] 
 [9. If the Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, insert
— If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, an amount of principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture. Such amount shall be equal to—insert formula for determining the amount. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest (in each
case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall terminate.]

 10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities of this series are in registered form without coupons and in
denominations of $[        ] and integral multiples of $[        ]. A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities of this series in accordance with the Indenture. The
Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. 

11. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of this Security for all purposes.

 12. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or
Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its written request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors. 

13. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc. The Company and the Trustee (if a party thereto) may, without the consent of the Holders
of any outstanding Securities, amend, waive or supplement the Indenture or the Securities for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, maintaining the qualification of the Indenture
under the Trust Indenture Act, as amended, providing for the assumption by a successor to the Company of its obligations under the Indenture and making any change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder of each series
to be affected. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the Securities of each series may be made by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Securities of such series of not less than a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of the particular Securities of such series to be affected. 

14. Successor Corporation. When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Securities and
the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article Five of the Indenture, the predecessor corporation will, except as provided in Article Five, be released from those obligations. 

15. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, if
an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(4) and 6.01(5) of the Indenture) with respect to the Securities of this series occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, either the Trustee,
by notice in writing to the Company, or the Holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such
Holders shall, declare due and payable, if not already due and payable, the principal of and any accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Securities of this series; and upon any such declaration all such amounts upon such Securities shall become
and be immediately due and payable, anything in the Indenture or in the Securities to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(4) and 6.01(5) of the Indenture occurs, then the principal of and any accrued
and unpaid interest on all of the Securities of this 
  

 43 








 
series shall immediately become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities of this
series except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities of this series. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of
this series or a Default in the observance or performance of any of the obligations of the Company under Article Five of the Indenture) if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interests. 

16. Trustee Dealings with Company. Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee, in its
individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

or Affiliate of the Company, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities of this series, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each
Holder of Securities of this series by accepting a Security of this series waives and releases all such liabilities. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities of this series. 

18. Discharge. The Company’s obligations pursuant to the Indenture with respect to Securities of this series will be
discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the Securities of this series or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of United States dollars or
Government Obligations sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the Securities of this series to maturity or redemption.
