 9 








 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 any such Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate or in any indentures supplemental hereto. If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution
and set forth therein, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer or by a Person duly authorized to act in a similar capacity on the Issuer’s behalf, and delivered
to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate setting forth the terms of the series. Securities of any particular series may be issued at various times, with different dates on which the principal or any installment of
principal is payable, with different rates of interest, if any, or different methods by which rates of interest may be determined, with different dates on which such interest may be payable and with different redemption dates. Notwithstanding
Section 2.01(2) and unless otherwise expressly provided with respect to a series of Securities, the aggregate principal amount of a series of Securities may be increased and additional Securities of such series may be issued up to the maximum
aggregate principal amount authorized with respect to such series as increased. 
 Section 2.02 Form of Securities and
Trustee’s Certificate. The Securities of any series and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Securities shall be substantially of the tenor and purport as the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto or such other
form set forth in one or more indentures supplemental hereto or as established in a Board Resolution and as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate. The Securities may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and
such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Issuer may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation
made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which Securities of that series may be listed, or to conform to usage. 

Section 2.03 Denominations; Provisions for Payment. The Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities and in the
denominations of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof, subject to Section 2.01(10). The Securities of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rates specified or provided for with
respect to that series. Except as contemplated by Section 2.01(17), the principal of and the interest on the Securities of any series, as well as any premium thereon in case of redemption thereof prior to maturity, shall be payable in U.S.
dollars, upon presentment of such Securities at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose, or such other office designated by the Issuer or the Trustee for that purpose (which shall be the Corporate Trust Office), in the Borough
of Manhattan, the City and State of New York or such other office designated by the Issuer or the Trustee; provided, however, that, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made (1) by wire transfer of funds to such Person at an
account maintained within the United States of America or (2) if no wire is provided, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Each Security shall be dated the date of
its authentication by the Trustee. Except as contemplated by Section 2.01(4), interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve
30-day months. Except as contemplated by Section 2.01(5), the interest installment on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities
of that series shall be paid to the Person in whose name said Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment. In the event that any Security of a
particular series or portion thereof is called for redemption and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect 

  
 10 








 
to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Security will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Security as provided in Section 3.03. Any
interest on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of the same series (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
registered holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having been such holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Issuer, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below: 

(1) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner: the Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 or less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not
less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Securityholder at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register (as hereinafter defined), not less than 10 days
prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities
(or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such special record date. 
 (2) The Issuer may make payment
of any Defaulted Interest on any Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after
notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate or one or
more indentures supplemental hereto establishing the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the term “regular record date” as used in this Section with respect to a series of Securities with respect to any
Interest Payment Date for such series shall mean either the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest
Payment Date is the first day of a month, or the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is
the fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such 

  
 11 








 
date is a Business Day. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security of a series delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other
Security of such series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security. 

Section 2.04 Execution and Authentication. The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Issuer by an Officer. Signatures may be
in the form of a manual, electronic or facsimile signature. The Issuer may use the signature of any Person who shall have served in any of the above capacities, notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Securities shall be authenticated and
delivered or disposed of such Person shall have ceased to act in such capacity. The Securities may contain such notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by
the manual, electronic or facsimile signature of the Trustee, or by an Authenticating Agent. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with
a written order of the Issuer (an “Authentication Order”) for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, signed by an Officer, and the Trustee in accordance with such written 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 (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and
legally binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to any Bankruptcy Law or other insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). 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 that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

Section 2.05 Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Securities of any series may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the Corporate Trust Office or such other office or agency of the
Issuer designated for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by the Issuer, for other Securities of such series of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal
amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section. In respect of any Securities so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, the Trustee shall
authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities of the same series that the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. 


  
 12 








 (b) The Issuer shall keep, or cause to be kept, at the Corporate Trust Office or such other
office or agency designated for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by the Issuer, a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Security Register”) in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall register the Securities and the transfers of Securities as in this Article provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The
registrar for the purpose of registering Securities and transfer of Securities as herein provided shall be appointed as authorized by Board Resolution (the “Security Registrar”). Upon surrender for transfer of any Security at the office or
agency of the Issuer designated for such purpose, the Issuer shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series as the
Security presented for a like aggregate principal amount. All Securities presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, as provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Issuer or the Security Registrar) by
a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Issuer or the Security Registrar, duly executed by the registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing. 

(c) No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, or issue of new Securities in case of partial
redemption of any series, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 3.03(b) and Section 9.04 not
involving any transfer. The Issuer shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption and
ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series or portions thereof called for redemption. The provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to
any Global Security, subject to Section 2.11 hereof. 
 Section 2.06 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of
definitive Securities of any series, the Issuer may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities (printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized denomination. Such temporary Securities shall be substantially
in the form of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Issuer. Every temporary Security of any
series shall be executed by the Issuer and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities of such series. Without unnecessary delay the Issuer will
execute and will furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders), at the office or agency of the Issuer designated for
the purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by the Issuer, and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an
equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of such series, unless the Issuer advises the Trustee to the effect that definitive Securities need not be executed and furnished until further notice from the Issuer. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Securities of such series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

  
 13 








 Section 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. In case any temporary
or definitive Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the Issuer’s request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver,
a new Security of the same series, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the
applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish
to the Issuer and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the
written request or authorization of an officer of the Issuer (or any other Person duly authorized to act in a similar capacity on the Issuer’s behalf). Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature
shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for
such payment shall furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Issuer and the Trustee of the destruction,
loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. Every replacement Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued
hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. 

Section 2.08 Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer
shall, if surrendered to the Issuer or any paying agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or
permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. On request of the Issuer at the time of such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer canceled Securities held by the Trustee. In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of
canceled Securities in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Issuer. If the Issuer shall otherwise acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

  
 14 








 Section 2.09 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities,
express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Securities any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant,
condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Securities. 

Section 2.10 Authenticating Agent. So long as any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding there may be an
Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Securities which the Trustee shall have the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon
exchange, transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. All references in
this Indenture to the authentication of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Issuer and shall be a corporation that has a
combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized
under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign
immediately. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Issuer shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating
Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent
acceptable to the Issuer. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent
pursuant hereto. 
 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating
Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent; provided that such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent. 
 Section 2.11 Global Securities. 

(a) If the Issuer shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued as a Global
Security, then the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver, a Global Security that 

(1) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all or a portion of the
Outstanding Securities of such series, 

  
 15 








 (2) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, 

(3) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and 

(4) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Except as provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture,
this Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to the Depositary, another nominee thereof or by a nominee thereof to the Depositary or another nominee of Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary
or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.” 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05, the Global Security of a
series may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 2.05, only to the Depositary for such series, another nominee of the Depositary for such series, or to a successor Depositary for such series selected or
approved by the Issuer or to a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 (c) If at any time the Depositary for a series of the Securities
notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such series or if at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or
regulation, and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer has received such notice or has become aware of such condition, as the case may be, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be
applicable to the Securities of such series and the Issuer will execute, and subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized
denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. In addition, the Issuer may at any time determine that the Securities of any series shall
no longer be represented by a Global Security and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Securities of such series. In such event the Issuer will execute and subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee, upon receipt
of an Officer’s Certificate evidencing such determination by the Issuer, will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. Upon the exchange of the Global Security for such Securities in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations,
the Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized
denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such
Securities are so registered.

 ARTICLE III 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND PROVISIONS 

Section 3.01 Redemption. The Issuer may redeem the Securities of any series issued hereunder on and after the dates and in
accordance with the terms established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. 
 Section 3.02 Notice of
Redemption. 
 (a) In case the Issuer shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the
Securities of any series in accordance with the right reserved so to do, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage
prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register unless a shorter period
is specified in the Securities to be redeemed. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to
give such notice to the holder of any Security of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities of such series or
any other series. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price at which Securities of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such Securities to
be redeemed will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities at the office or agency designated by the Issuer for such purposes in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by the
Issuer or the Trustee for such purposes, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue, that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such
is the case, and the CUSIP number of the Securities and state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in the notice or printed on the Securities. If less than all the Securities of a
series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Securities of that series to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Securities to be so redeemed. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that
relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. 
 (b) If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Issuer
shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee) in advance of the date of delivery of the notice of redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series to be
redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select in a manner that complies with the requirements, if any, of any applicable stock exchange or which the Securities are listed and that the Trustee deems appropriate and fair in its discretion and that
may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to two thousand U.S. dollars ($2,000) or any integral multiple of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) in excess thereof) of the principal amount


  
 17 








 
of such Securities of a denomination larger than $2,000, the Securities to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed,
in whole or in part. The Issuer may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on behalf of the Issuer by an Officer, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Securities of a particular
series for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name of the Issuer or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent as it may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of
redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other
records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under the provisions of this Section. 

Section 3.03 Payment Upon Redemption. 

(a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series
to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such
Securities or portions of Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest with respect to any such Security or portion thereof.
On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for such series, together with
interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an Interest Payment Date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the
applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03). 
 (b) Upon presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in
part only, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Security of the same series of authorized
denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented. 
 Section 3.04 Sinking Fund.
The provisions of Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of such series. The minimum
amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities
of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05.
Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. 

  
 18 








 Section 3.05 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The Issuer: 

(1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any Securities previously called for redemption) and 

(2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series that have been redeemed either at the election of the Issuer pursuant to the
terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of
such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose
by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

Section 3.06 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 35 days (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the
Trustee) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms
of the series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit and will, together with such Officer’s Certificate, deliver to
the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02
and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer in the manner provided in Section 3.02. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms
and in the manner stated in Section 3.03. 
 ARTICLE IV 

COVENANTS 

Section 4.01 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. The Issuer will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal
of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of each series at the time and place and in the manner provided herein and established with respect to such Securities. 

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. So long as any series of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Issuer agrees to
maintain an office or agency for purposes of presentment and surrender for payment of the Securities in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, the Corporate Trust Office or such other office designated by the Issuer for such
purpose and for all other purposes, with respect to each such series and at such other location or locations as may be designated as provided in this Section 4.02, where (i) Securities of that series may be presented for payment,
(ii) Securities of that series may be presented as herein above authorized for registration of transfer and exchange, and (iii) notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be
given or 

  
 19 








 
served, such designation to continue with respect to such office or agency until the Issuer shall, by written notice signed by an Officer, and delivered to the Trustee, designate some other
office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York for such purposes or any of them. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the
address thereof, such presentations, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands. 

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be
presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an
office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by the Issuer, for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Issuer 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 Paying Agents.

 (a) If the Issuer shall appoint one or more paying agents for all or any series of the Securities, other than the Trustee, the Issuer
will cause each such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section: 

(1) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest
on the Securities of that series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any other obligor of such Securities) in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto; 

(2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Issuer (or by any other obligor of such Securities) to make any
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series when the same shall be due and payable; 

(3) that it will, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon
the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent; and 
 (4)
that it will perform all other duties of paying agent as set forth in this Indenture. 
 (b) If the Issuer shall act as its own paying agent
with respect to any series of the Securities, it will on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due on Securities of that series until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the
Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Securities) to take such action. Whenever the 

  
 20 








 
Issuer shall have one or more paying agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that 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 Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of this action or failure so to act. 
 (c) Notwithstanding
anything in this Section to the contrary, 
 (1) the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is
subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, and 
 (2) the Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct any paying agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such paying agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and
conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such paying agent; and, upon such payment by any paying agent to the Trustee, such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

Section 4.04 Appointment to Fill Vacancy in Office of Trustee. The Issuer, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the
office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.11, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder. 

Section 4.05 Statement by Officers as to Default. Within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year, the Issuer shall deliver to
the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating whether or not the Officer has knowledge of any default under this Indenture, and if so, specifying each default and the nature and status thereof. 

Section 4.06 Maintenance of Properties. The Issuer shall cause each of its material properties used or useful in the conduct of
its business or the business of any Subsidiary of the Issuer to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will require it to cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements to those properties, as in its judgment may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection with those properties may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, that
the Issuer and its Subsidiaries shall not be prevented from selling or otherwise disposing of these properties for value in the ordinary course of business. 

Section 4.07 Insurance. The Issuer shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep in force upon all of its properties
and operations policies of insurance with financially sound and reputable carriers in such amounts and covering all risks as shall be customary in the industry, in accordance with prevailing market conditions and availability. 

Section 4.08 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Issuer shall pay or discharge (or, if applicable, cause to be transferred to
bond or other security) or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (a) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed on each of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or upon 

  
 21 








 
the income, profits or property of each of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries and (b) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies that, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon
its property or the property of any Subsidiary; provided, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay or discharge (or transfer to bond or other security) or cause to be paid or discharged any tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount,
applicability or validity of which it is contesting in good faith through appropriate proceedings and for which it has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. 

Section 4.09 Existence. Except as permitted under Article X, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence, all material rights (by charter, bylaws or other governing document and statute) and all material franchises; provided, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any
right or franchise if the Board of Directors determines that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business.

involuntary or be 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): 

(1) the Issuer defaults in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Securities of that series, as and when
the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental
hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose; 
 (2) the Issuer defaults in the payment
of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, or, by declaration of acceleration, notice of redemption, notice of option to elect repayment or
otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such Securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture
supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any; 
 (3) the Issuer or any
Guarantor fails to observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements with respect to that series contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to that series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof (other

failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, shall have been given to the Issuer by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the
holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding; 
 (4) the Guarantee of
any Guarantor ceases to be in full force and effect or such Guarantor denies or disaffirms in writing its obligations under this Indenture or its Guarantee;

property purchased) in an aggregate principal amount in excess of a certain threshold amount described in such Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing such series of Securities or under any mortgage, indenture or instrument
under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (including such leases, but not including such indebtedness or obligations for which recourse
is limited to property purchased) in an aggregate principal amount in excess of a certain threshold amount described in such Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing such series of Securities, whether the indebtedness


  
 24 








 
exists at the date of the Indenture or shall thereafter be created, which default shall have resulted in the indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it
would otherwise have become due and payable or which default shall have resulted in the obligation being accelerated, without the acceleration having been rescinded or annulled; 

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

 

	 	(i)	commences a voluntary case, 

  

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

  

	 	(iii)	consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property or

(b) If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default in clause (6) and (7) of Section 6.01(a) hereof) occurs and is
continuing, in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the principal amount of (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of
that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable; provided that if an Event of Default in clause (6) and (7) of Section 6.01(a) hereof
occurs, the principal amount of (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of that series shall be due and payable without any declaration or other act by or on the part of the Trustee or Securityholders of that

Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 

(1) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the
Securities of that series and the principal of (and premium, if any) any and all Securities of that series that shall have become due otherwise than solely as a result of acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to
the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series to the date of such payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee
under Section 7.07, and 
 (2) any and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series, other than
the nonpayment of accelerated principal (or specified portion thereof), premium, if any, and interest on Securities of that series that shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06. No
such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 (d) In case
the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to Securities of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or
shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Issuer, and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all
rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. 
 Section 6.02
Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
 (a) The Issuer covenants that: 

(1) in case it shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of a series, as and when
the same shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 90 days, or 
 (2) in case
it shall default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of a series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of a series or upon redemption or upon
declaration, pursuant to any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series, the
whole amount that then shall have been become due and payable on all such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the 

  
 26 








 
overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed
in the Securities of that series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07. 

(b) If the Issuer shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust,
shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such
judgment or final decree against the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities of that series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon the
Securities of that series, wherever situated. 
 (c) In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings affecting the Issuer, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted by the court and shall
(except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Securities of such series allowed
for the entire amount due and payable by the Issuer under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Issuer after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby
authorized by each of the holders of Securities of such series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount
due it under Section 7.07. 
 (d) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms
established with respect to Securities of that series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or 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 payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.07, be for the ratable benefit of the
holders of the Securities of such series. In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee
shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of
any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt
on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of that series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Securityholder in any such proceeding.

 Section 6.03 Application of Moneys Collected. Any moneys collected by the Trustee
pursuant to this Article with respect to a particular series of Securities shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or premium, if
any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities of that series, and notation thereon of the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection and of all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07; 

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, in
respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest,
respectively; 
 THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto. 

Section 6.04 Limitation on Suits. No holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any
provision of this Indenture to institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 

(1) such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof
with respect to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided; 
 (2) the holders
of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder; 

(3) such holder or holders shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby; 
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and 
 (5) during such 60
day period, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of any holder of any
Security to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security, as therein provided, on the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to institute
suit 

  
 28 








 
for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder and by accepting a Security
hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security of such series with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Securities of such series shall have any
right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any
other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Securities of such series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of
this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 

Section 6.05 Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article to the Trustee or to the Securityholders
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance
of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Securities. 
 (b) No delay or
omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of
any such default or on acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall
be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders. 
 Section 6.06 Control by Securityholders. The holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.01, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of holders of Securities of any other series at the time Outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.01. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any
such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance with Section 8.01, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default in the
performance of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest 

  
 29 








 
on, any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Securities otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum
sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has been deposited with the Trustee in accordance with Section 6.01(c)) or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Security affected by the default. Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Issuer, the Trustee
and the holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.07 Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Securities by such
holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this Indenture. 

ARTICLE VII 

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 

Section 7.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing of all Events
of Default with respect to the Securities of that series that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect to the Securities of such series such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no
implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (that has not been cured or waived) and is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee,
the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 

  
 30 








 (b) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for
its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to that series that may have occurred: the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with
respect to the Securities of such series be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the Securities of such series except for the performance of such duties and obligations as
are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may with respect to the Securities
of such series conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the
case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirement of
this Indenture; 
 (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 shall be proved that the Trustee, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that series; 

(4) none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it
under the terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it; and 
 (5) if any
party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such
event occurred, unless such Responsible Officer of the Trustee had actual knowledge of such event. 
 Section 7.02 Notice of
Defaults. If a Default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series and is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give the holders of Securities of such series notice of such Default as and to the extent
provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any Default of the character specified in clause (3) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to holders shall be given
until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof; provided, further, that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of, or a Default in the 

  
 31 








 
payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in
good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the holders. 
 Section 7.03 Certain Rights of
Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01: 
 (a) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining
from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties; 
 (b) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a
Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the name of the Issuer, by an Officer (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein); 

(c) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
 (d)
The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such
Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a series of the Securities (that has not been cured or waived) to exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; 

(e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security, or other papers or documents, unless requested in writing so to do by
the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the particular series affected thereby (determined as provided in Section 8.04); provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time
to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this
Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Issuer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be
repaid by the Issuer upon demand; 

  
 32 








 (g) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder
either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; and 

(h) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost
profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action other than any such loss or damage caused by the Trustee’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Trustee shall
not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to any Securities of a series, unless either (1) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or (2) written notice of
such Default or Event of Default referencing this Indenture and the series of Securities and stating that it is a “Notice of Default” shall have been given to the Trustee by the Issuer or by any Securityholder of the Securities. 

Section 7.04 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance or Securities. 

(a) The recitals contained herein and in the Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for the correctness of the same. 
 (b) The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Indenture or of the Securities. 
 (c) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the
Securities or of the proceeds of such Securities, or for the use or application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or established pursuant to Section 2.01, or for the use or application of
any moneys received by any paying agent other than the Trustee. 
 Section 7.05 May Hold Securities. The Trustee or any paying
agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar. 

Section 7.06 Moneys Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee shall,
until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any
moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Issuer to pay thereon. 
 Section 7.07 Compensation and
Reimbursement. 
 (a) The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such reasonable
compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), as the Issuer, and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the execution
of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Issuer will pay 

  
 33 








 
or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee (as trustee and in other capacity hereunder) in accordance with
any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its
gross negligence or bad faith. The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee in all its capacities under the Indenture (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or in any other capacity under the Indenture, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. 
 (b) The obligations of the Issuer under this Section to compensate and
indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the earlier resignation or
removal or the Trustee. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of
particular Securities. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee and its agents and any Authenticating Agent incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01, clause (6) or (7) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws. 

Section 7.08 Reliance on Officer’s Certificate. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the
administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in
respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and
such certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith
thereof. 
 Section 7.09 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting
interest” within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the Issuer shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, subject to the penultimate paragraph
thereof. 
 Section 7.10 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the
Securities issued hereunder which shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person
permitted to act as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least 100 million U.S. dollars ($100,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination
by Federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or 

  
 34 








 
to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Issuer may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Issuer, serve as Trustee. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.11. 

Section 7.11 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

(a) The Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving
written notice thereof to the Issuer and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders of such series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series, or any Securityholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. 

(b) In case at any time any one of the following shall occur: 

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.09 after written request therefor by the Issuer or
by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or 
 (2) the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any such Securityholder; or 

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary
bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, the Issuer may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, unless, in the case of a failure to comply with Section 7.09, the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in the penultimate
paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or 

  
 35 








 
Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment
of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. 

(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the
Trustee with respect to such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer and may appoint a successor Trustee for such series with the consent of the Issuer. 

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant to
any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.12. 

(e) Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more series or all
of such series, and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series. 

Section 7.12 Acceptance of Appointment By Successor. 

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor trustee so appointed
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and 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; but, on the request of the Issuer or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges,
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder. 
 (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not
all) series, the Issuer, 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) 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 

  
 36 








 (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, 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 that no
Trustee shall be responsible for any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to
the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for
the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, 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 Issuer or any successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver
to such successor trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
trustee relates. 
 (c) Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 

(d) No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article. 
 (e) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Issuer shall
transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. If the Issuer fails to transmit such notice within ten days
after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Issuer. 

Section 7.13 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be
the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.09 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.10, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 

  
 37 








 Section 7.14 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. The Trustee shall
comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the
Trust Indenture Act to the extent included therein. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS 

Section 8.01 Evidence of Action by Securityholders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or
specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact
that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of
Securities of that series in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or may be embodied in and evidenced by the record of holders of Securities of such series voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in
writing, at any meeting of Securityholders of Securities of such series duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article XII, or a combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. If the Issuer shall solicit from the Securityholders of any
series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Issuer may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the determination of
Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Issuer shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of determining
whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of that series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the
Outstanding Securities of that series shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall
become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. 
 Section 8.02 Proof
of Execution by Securityholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder (such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person
of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner: 
 (a) The fact and date of the execution by any such Person
of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee. 

  
 38 








 (b) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register of such Securities or by
a certificate of the Security Registrar thereof. 
 (c) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this
Section as it shall deem necessary. 
 Section 8.03 Who May be Deemed Owners. Prior to the due presentment for registration
of transfer of any Security, the Issuer, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Security shall be registered upon the books of the Issuer as the absolute owner of such Security
(whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium,
if any) and (subject to Section 2.03) interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

Section 8.04 Certain Securities Owned by Issuer Disregarded. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate
principal amount of Securities of a particular series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, the Securities of that series that are owned by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities of that series or by any
Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities of that series shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination,
except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Securities of such series that the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The
Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such
Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the
Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. 
 Section 8.05 Actions Binding on Future
Securityholders. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a
particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Security of that series that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing
written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made
upon such Security. Any action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon
the Issuer, the Trustee and the holders of all the Securities of that series.

inconsistency herein or in the Securities of any series, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture; provided, however, that
such action shall not adversely affect the interests of holders of Securities of any series in any material respect; 
 (2)
to comply with Article X; 
 (3) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated
Securities; 
 (4) to add to the covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions relating to the Issuer or the Guarantors
for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants, restrictions, conditions
or provisions are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series), to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and the continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of
Default, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer;

holders of any series of Securities; 
 (10) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.12; 
 (11) to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to
the extent necessary to permit or facilitate defeasance, covenant defeasance and discharge of Securities of any series of notes; provided, however, that this action shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the
Securities of any series in any material respect; 
 (12) to comply with any requirements of the Commission or any successor
in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or 
 (13) to provide for the issuance
of additional Securities of any series in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Securities of such series. 
 The Trustee is
hereby authorized to join with the Issuer in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any
such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Any
supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed by the Issuer and the Trustee without the consent of the holders of any of the Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of
Section 9.02. 
 Section 9.02 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Securityholders. With the consent (evidenced as
provided in Section 8.01) of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures (voting or separate classes) at the time Outstanding, the
Issuer, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner not covered by Section 9.01 the rights of the holders of the
Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby: 

(1) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest (or premium, if any) on, any
Security, or reduce the principal 

  
 41 








 
amount thereof, or reduce the rate of interest or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or would be provable in bankruptcy, or
adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of the Securityholder of such security (or reduce the amount of premium payable upon any repayment), or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or any other
Security which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.01 or change the place of payment, or the coin or currency in which any Security or any premium or interest thereon is
payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment); or 
 (2) reduce the percentage in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose holders is required for any waiver of certain defaults hereunder and their

 (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section 6.06
relating to waivers of default, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby;
provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso,
in accordance with the requirements of Sections 7.12 and 9.01(8); or 
 (4) release VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P. from
its guarantee of any series of Securities for which VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P. is a Guarantor. 
 A supplemental indenture which
changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the holders of Securities of such series
with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the holders of Securities of any other series. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders of any series affected
thereby under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. 

Section 9.03 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of
this Article or of Section 10.01, this Indenture shall, with respect to such series, be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under
this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer and the holders of Securities of the series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms
and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 

  
 42 








 Section 9.04 Securities Affected by Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any
series, affected by a supplemental indenture, authenticated and delivered after the execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, may bear a notation in form approved by the Issuer,
provided such form meets the requirements of any exchange upon which such series may be listed, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer shall so determine, new Securities of that series so modified as to conform,
in the opinion of the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Issuer, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of that series then
Outstanding. 
 Section 9.05 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the request of the Issuer, accompanied by Board
Resolutions authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the
execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to
enter into such supplemental indenture. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may receive an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this
Article is authorized or permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this Article and that it is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article to join in the execution thereof; provided, however, that such Officer’s
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel need not be provided in connection with the execution of a supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate that establishes the terms of a series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. 

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Securityholders of all series affected thereby as their names and addresses appear upon the
Security Register. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

consolidation or into or with which the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such
consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, shall refer instead to the successor corporation and not to the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable),
and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person

had been named as Issuer or a Guarantor, as applicable, herein; provided, that a predecessor Issuer shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on such
series of Securities except in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all of the Issuer’s assets that meets the requirements of Section 10.01 hereof.

ARTICLE XI 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE 

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect with respect to
a series of Securities (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of such series of Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series, when: 
 (1) either (A) all
Securities of that series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) any Securities that shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 and (ii) Securities
for whose payment money or noncallable Governmental Obligations have theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust, as provided in
Section 11.05) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (B) all Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable by maturity, the giving of a notice of
redemption or otherwise, or (ii) will by their terms become due and payable within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, and
the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose (x) moneys in an amount, or (y) noncallable Governmental Obligations the scheduled principal of and interest on which in accordance
with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (z) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the case of (y) or (z) in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, at maturity or upon redemption, all Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal
(and premium, if any) and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case may be; 

(2) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder with respect to such series by the Issuer; and

 (3) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
the conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities have been complied with. 

  
 45 








 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to a series of
Securities, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 7.07 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (y) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Sections 11.03
and 11.05 shall survive. 
 Section 11.02 Defeasance. The Issuer may, at its option and at any time (including notwithstanding
the exercise by the Issuer of a Covenant Defeasance (as defined herein)), elect to have any and all its obligations discharged (and have the Guarantors be discharged from) with respect to a series of the Securities (“Legal
Defeasance”). Such Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such series of Securities, except for (a) the rights of holders to receive payments in respect
of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities when such payments are due solely from the trust fund described in this Section, (b) the Issuer’s obligation, if any, to pay additional amounts in respect of certain
taxes imposed on non-U.S. holders of Securities of such series, (c) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such series of Securities concerning issuing temporary Securities, registration of
transfer or exchange of such series of Securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities of such series and the maintenance of an office or agency for payments, (d) the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the Trustee and
the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith and (e) the Legal Defeasance provisions of this Indenture. In addition, the Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have any and all its obligations released and to have the
Guarantors obligations be released with respect to covenants provided with respect to such series of Securities under Sections 2.01(15), 4.06, 4.07, 4.08 and 4.09 of this Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any
omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such series of Securities. In the event of Covenant Defeasance, those events described under Section 6.01(a) with respect to the
foregoing covenants will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to such series of Securities. 
 In order to exercise either
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 
 (1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the
benefit of the holders of such series, (A) cash in U.S. dollars in an amount, or (B) Governmental Obligations the scheduled principal of and interest on which in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any
payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the case of (B) or (C) in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered
to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, at maturity or upon redemption, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such series of Securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;

 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that
(A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this 

  
 46 








 
Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the holders of such
series of Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the holders of such series of Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal
income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the
date of such deposit; 
 (5) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with; and 

(6) if such series of Securities is to be redeemed prior to final maturity (other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or
analogous payments), notice of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made. 

Section 11.03 Deposited Moneys to be Held in Trust. All moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Sections 11.01 or 11.02 shall be held in trust and shall be available for payment as due, either directly or through any paying agent (including the Issuer acting as its own paying agent), to the holders of the particular series of Securities for
the payment or redemption of which such moneys or Governmental Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee. 
 If, after a deposit
referred to in Section 11.02(1) has been made with respect to any series of Securities, (1) the holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 2.01 or the terms of
such Security to receive payment in a currency or currency unit or composite currency other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 11.02(1) has been made in respect of such Security or (2) a Conversion Event occurs in respect
of the currency or currency unit or composite currency in which the deposit pursuant to Section 11.02(1) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will
be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest, if any, on such Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the
case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security into the currency or currency unit or composite currency in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based on
the applicable market exchange rate for such currency or currency unit or composite currency in effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date. 

  
 47 








 Section 11.04 Payment of Moneys Held by Paying Agents. In connection with the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture all moneys or Governmental Obligations then held by any paying agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon demand of the Issuer, be paid to the Trustee and thereupon such paying agent shall
be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys or Governmental Obligations. 
 Section 11.05 Repayment to
Issuer. Any moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited with any paying agent or the Trustee, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of a particular series that are
not applied but remain unclaimed by the holders of such Securities for at least two years after the date upon which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such Securities shall have respectively become due and payable, or such other
shorter period set forth in applicable escheat or abandoned property law, shall be repaid to the Issuer on May 31 of each year or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and thereupon the paying agent and the Trustee
shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys or Governmental Obligations, and the holder of any of the Securities entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Issuer for the payment thereof as an unsecured general creditor, unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. 

Section 11.06 Reinstatement. If the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee or any paying agent appointed as provided herein) is
unable to apply any moneys or Government Obligations in accordance with this Article XI by reason of any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no such deposit had occurred, until such time as the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee or paying
agent) is permitted to apply all such moneys and Government Obligations in accordance with this Article IX; provided, however, that if the Issuer makes any payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest if any, on the
Securities of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations as aforesaid, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Securityholders to receive such payment from the funds held by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee or
paying agent).

 Section 12.03 Persons Entitled to Vote at Meetings. To be entitled
to vote at any meeting of Securityholders of Securities of any series, a Person shall be (a) a Securityholder of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series or (b) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for a
Securityholder or Securityholders of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series by such Securityholder or Securityholders. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Securityholders of Securities of any
series shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel, any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Issuer and its counsel. 

Section 12.04 Quorum; Action. The Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a
series shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Securityholders of Securities of such series; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at such meeting with respect to a consent or waiver which this Indenture expressly
provides may be given by the Securityholders of not less than a specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series, the Persons entitled to vote such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes after the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Securityholders of Securities of such series, be
dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at the reconvening of any such
adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in Section 12.02(b), except that such notice need be given
only once not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. 

  
 49 








 Except as limited by the proviso to Section 9.02, any resolution presented to a meeting or
adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; provided, however, that, except as
limited by the proviso to Section 9.02, any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the holders of
a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by the affirmative
vote of the Securityholders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series. 
 Any resolution
passed or decision taken at any meeting of Securityholders of Securities of any series duly held in accordance with this Section 12.04 shall be binding on all the Securityholders of Securities of such series and the related coupons, whether or
not present or represented at the meeting. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.04, if any action is to be
taken at a meeting of Securityholders of Securities of any series with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the
Securityholders of such series and one or more additional series: 
 (1) there shall be no minimum quorum requirement for
such meeting and 
 (2) the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all such series that are entitled to vote in
favor of such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be taken into account in determining whether such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action has been
made, given or taken under this Indenture. 
 Section 12.05 Determination of Voting Rights, Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings.

 (a) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any
meeting of Securityholders of Securities of a series in regard to proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspector of elections, the submission and
examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding
of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 8.02 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 8.02. 

  
 50 








 (b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting,
unless the meeting shall have been called by the Issuer or by Securityholders of Securities as provided in Section 12.02(b), in which case the Issuer or the Securityholders of Securities of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be,
shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
represented at the meeting. 
 (c) At any meeting each holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each
$1,000 principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled
by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a holder of a Security of such series or proxy. 

(d) Any meeting of Securityholders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 12.02 at which a quorum is present may be
adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice. 

Section 12.06 Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings. The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of
Securityholders of Securities of any series shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Securityholders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers
of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. 
 The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two
inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at
least in duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Securityholders of Securities of any series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any
vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the fact, setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 12.02 and, if applicable,
Section 12.04. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Issuer and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the
latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated. 

ARTICLE XIII 

GUARANTEES 

Section 13.01 Guarantees. If Guarantees have been provided for any particular series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01,
each applicable Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each holder of Securities of such series, to the Trustee and its successors and assigns: (a) the full and punctual payment of all of the
principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Securities of such series when due, whether at maturity, 

  
 51 








 
by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Securities of such series; and (b) the full and punctual
performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series and under the Securities of such series (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called
the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Guarantor and that such Guarantor will remain
bound under this Article XIII notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. 
 In addition, if Guarantees have
been provided pursuant to Section 2.01 for a particular series of Securities, each applicable Guarantor waives: (1) presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives
notice of protest for non-payment; and (2) notice of any default under the Securities of such series or the Guaranteed Obligations, and agrees that the holders of such Securities may exercise their rights
of enforcement under its Guarantee without first exercising their rights of enforcement directly against the Issuer. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by: (a) the failure of any holder or the Trustee to assert
any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver,
amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (e) the
failure of any holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (f) any change in the ownership of such Guarantor. 

If Guarantees have been provided for a particular series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01, each applicable Guarantor further agrees
that its Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of
the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 If Guarantees have been provided for a particular series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01, and
except as expressly set forth in Sections 13.02 and 13.06, the obligations of each applicable Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver,
release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or
otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Securityholder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing
or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

  
 52 








 If Guarantees have been provided for a particular series of Securities pursuant to
Section 2.01, each applicable Guarantor further agrees that its Guaranteed Obligations herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, or premium or
interest on, any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of Securities or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise. 

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Securityholder or the Trustee has at law or in equity
against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay the principal of, or premium or interest on, any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or
otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Securityholders or the Trustee
an amount equal to the sum of: (1) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations; (2) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law); and (3) all other monetary Guaranteed
Obligations of the Issuer to the Securityholders and the Trustee. 
 Each Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the
Securityholders and the Trustee, on the other hand: (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for the purposes of such Guarantor’s Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article VI, such Guaranteed Obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section. 
 If Guarantees
have been provided for a particular series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01, each applicable Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other agents) incurred by
the Trustee or any Securityholder in enforcing any rights under this Section. 
 Section 13.02 Execution and Delivery. If
Guarantees have been provided for a particular series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01, to evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 13.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture and any applicable indenture supplemental
hereto shall be executed in the name and on behalf of such Guarantor by the manual, electronic or facsimile signature of its Chief Executive Officer, President, one of its Vice Presidents, its Treasurer or a Person duly authorized to act in a
similar capacity on such Guarantor’s behalf. If the Person whose signature is on this Indenture and any applicable indenture supplemental hereto no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Securities, the Guarantee
shall nevertheless be valid. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 13.01 shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Securities. 

  
 53 








 The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 Section 13.03 Limitation on
Liability. Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering
this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, or the applicable supplemental indenture voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

Section 13.04 Successors and Assigns. If Guarantees have been provided for a particular series of Securities pursuant to
Section 2.01, this Article XIII shall be binding upon each Guarantor so providing a Guarantee with respect to such series and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the
Securityholders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Securityholder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in such series of Securities shall automatically extend to and
be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture. 
 Section 13.05 No Waiver.
Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of the Trustee or the Securityholders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article XVI shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Securityholders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which they may
have under this Article XIII or this Indenture at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 
 Section 13.06 Modification.
No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XIII, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same,
similar or other circumstances. 
 Section 13.07 Release of Guarantor. A Guarantor will be automatically released and relieved
from all its obligations under its guarantee in the following circumstances: 
 (1) upon the sale or other disposition
(including by way of consolidation or merger), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of at least a majority of the total voting power of the capital stock or other interests of such Guarantor (other than to the Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries), as permitted in Article X; 
 (2) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of
such Guarantor (other than to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries), as permitted in Article X; or 

  
 54 








 (3) if at any time when no default has occurred and is continuing with respect to
the notes, such Guarantor no longer guarantees (or which guarantee is being simultaneously released or will be immediately released after the release of the Guarantor) any other Debt of the Issuer or any Guarantor. 

Section 13.08 Contribution. If Guarantees have been provided for a particular series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01,
each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations with respect to such series to a contribution from each other Guarantor, if any, so providing a Guarantee with respect to
such series of Securities, in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors so providing a Guarantee with respect to such series of Securities at the time of
such payment determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. 
 ARTICLE XIV

STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS 

Section 14.01 No Recourse. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Indenture, or of any Security,
or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee, member or partner, past, present or future as such, of the Issuer or Guarantor or of any predecessor or
successor entity, either directly or through the Issuer or Guarantor or any such predecessor or successor entity, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it
being expressly understood that this Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder are solely corporate obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, stockholders,
officers or directors as such, of the Issuer or of any predecessor or successor entity, or any of them, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in
this Indenture or in any of the Securities or implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal liability of every name and nature, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims
against, every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee, member or partner as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this
Indenture or in any of the Securities or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issuance of such Securities.

 Section 15.03
Surrender of Issuer Powers. The Issuer, by instrument in writing executed by authority of the Board of Directors and delivered to the Trustee, may surrender any of the powers reserved to the Issuer, and thereupon such power so surrendered

provided herein any notice or demand that by any provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the holders of Securities to or on the Issuer may be given or served by being deposited first class

under the internal laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of said state. 

Section 15.06 Treatment of Securities as Debt. It is intended that the Securities will be treated as indebtedness and not as

of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed duties shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of
the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

 VEREIT, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland (hereinafter referred to as
the “Issuer,” which term includes any successor thereof under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [            ], or its
registered assigns, the principal sum of [            ] Dollars ($[            ]) on
[            ] (the “Stated Maturity Date” with respect to the principal of this Security), unless previously repaid or redeemed in accordance with the provisions set forth on the
reverse hereof (the Stated Maturity Date or any redemption date is referred herein as the “Maturity Date” with respect to principal repayable on such date) and to pay interest thereon semiannually in arrears on
[            ] and [            ] of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on
[            ] , at the rate of [            ]% per annum, until payment of said principal has been made or duly provided
for. Interest on this Security payable on an Interest Payment Date will accrue from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly made available for payment, or from and including
[            ] if no interest has been paid or duly made available for payment, to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Interest on
this Security will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 
 Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein
shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture (as defined on the reverse hereof). 
 The interest so payable and punctually paid or
duly made available for payment on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Holder in which name this Security (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered in the Security Register at the close of business on the “Regular Record
Date” for such payment, which shall be the [            ] or [            ], as the case may be, immediately preceding such
Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether such day is a Business Day (as defined below)). Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly made available for payment shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date,
and shall be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a subsequent “Special Record Date” for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (which shall not be
more than 15 or less than 10 days prior to the date of the payment of such Defaulted Interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders of the Securities not less than 10 calendar days preceding such
subsequent Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 
 The principal of, and
premium, if any, with respect to, this Security payable on the Maturity Date will be paid against presentation and surrender of this Security at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or such other office or agency of the Issuer designated for
that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York. The Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (as defined on the reverse hereof) as the office to be maintained by it where Securities may
be presented for payment, registration of transfer or exchange and where notices or demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities or the Indenture may be served. 

  
 A-2 








 If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment required
to be made on such date will, instead, be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such
Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday, a Sunday or other day on which Federal or State banking institutions in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of
New York, or in the city in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located, are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to be closed. 

Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Security will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts (i) in the case of payments on the Maturity Date, in immediately available funds, and (ii) in the case of payments of interest on an Interest Payment Date
other than the Maturity Date, (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States of America, or (b) if no wire transfer is provided, by check mailed to the
Holder entitled thereto at the applicable address appearing in the Security Register; provided, however, that so long as Cede & Co. is the Holder of this Security, payments of interest on an Interest Payment Date may be made in immediately
available funds. 
 Reference is made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof. Such further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place. 
 This Security shall not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture [or the
Guarantee] (as defined on the reverse of this Security) or be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by manual signature by the Trustee.

[Designation of Series] 
 This Security is
one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of
[            ], duly executed and delivered by the Issuer [and the other guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”)] to
[            ], as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of Securities of which this Security is a
part), together with the [Officer’s Certificate][Supplemental Indenture] establishing the terms of the Securities, dated as of [            ] (collectively, the “Indenture”)
and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, and all modifications and amendments and indentures supplemental thereto relating to the Securities, made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, and immunities
thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer[, the Guarantors] and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are authenticated and delivered. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be
issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may accrue interest (if any) at different rates or formulas and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Security is one of a series of Securities designated
as the [            ] (collectively, the “[Securities]”) of the Issuer, limited (except as permitted under the Indenture) in aggregate principal amount to
$[            ]. 
 [Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the
Securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors.] 
 [Insert applicable redemption provisions, if any.] 

[This Security is not mandatorily redeemable and is not entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provisions.] 

In case an Event of Default with respect to this Security shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be (and, in certain cases, shall be)
declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect, and subject to the conditions, provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer
[and, if applicable, the Guarantors,] and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer [and, if applicable, the Guarantors,] and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in the aggregate
principal amount of Securities of each series (voting as separate classes) issued under the Indenture at the time Outstanding and affected thereby. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of a majority in the aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, in certain instances, to waive, on behalf of all of the Holders of Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder of this
Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and other Securities issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof, or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, with respect to, and interest on, this Security in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein
prescribed. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance and discharge and for defeasance at any time of certain restrictive covenants and Events of
Default with respect to Securities of this series upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 [This Security is issuable only in
definitive registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.] This Security may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations at the
office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided herein and in the Indenture, but without the payment of any charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in
connection therewith. 
 The Issuer shall not pay additional amounts on this Security held by a Person that is not a U.S. Person in respect of taxes or
similar charges withheld or deducted. 
 The Issuer[, the Guarantors] or the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer[, the Guarantors] or the Trustee
may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the Holder and absolute owner of this Security (whether or not this Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the
purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of, or premium, if any, with respect to, or subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest on, this Security and for all other purposes, and [none][neither] of the Issuer[, the
Guarantors] or the Trustee or any authorized agent of the Issuer[, the Guarantors] or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 THE
INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE.
