	SECTION 103.	FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE. 

 In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may
certify or give an opinion as to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 

Any certificate or opinion of an Officer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an Opinion of Counsel, or a certificate or representations
by counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the opinion, certificate or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such Opinion of

possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows that the certificate, opinion or representations as to such matters are erroneous. 
 Where any Person
is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 

 

	SECTION 104.	ACTS OF HOLDERS. 

 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of the Outstanding Securities of all series or one or more series, as the case may be, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing. 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 Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or
instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in
favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 104. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in
Section 1406. 
 The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of
the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 

  
 10 







 The ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. As to any matter relating to
beneficial ownership interests in any Global Security, the records of the appropriate depositary and of participants in such depositary shall be dispositive for purposes of this Indenture. 

If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, the Company may, at its option, in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the
first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be
given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities
have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided, however, that
no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the
same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar, any agent
to whom Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”), any Authenticating Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 

 

	SECTION 105.	NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE AND COMPANY. 

 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
 (1)
the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; or 

(2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by
the Company, Attention: Chief Financial Officer; or 

  
 11 







 (3) either the Trustee or the Company, by the other party shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder if given by facsimile transmission, receipt confirmed by telephone, followed by an original copy delivered by guaranteed overnight courier; if to the Trustee at facsimile number (404) 898-2467; and if to the Company at facsimile

	SECTION 106.	NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER. 

 Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of Securities by
the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the
Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders of Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice,
nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Securities. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to
have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice. 
 If by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in
regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Registered Securities as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient
notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver required or permitted
under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or
after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such
waiver. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security, where this Indenture or any Security provides for notice of any event
(including any notice of redemption or repurchase) to a Holder (whether by mail or otherwise), during any period when a Global Security has been issued hereunder evidencing all or a part of any series of Securities such notice shall be sufficiently
given if given to the depositary or its designee, including by electronic mail in accordance with accepted practices or procedures at the depositary. 
  

	SECTION 107.	COUNTERPARTS; EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS. 

 This Indenture may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Indenture. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience

of the State of New York without regard, to the extent permitted by law, to conflicts of laws principles. This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the TIA that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be
governed by such provisions. 
  

	SECTION 112.	LEGAL HOLIDAYS. 

 In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund
payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity Date of any Security or the last date on which a Holder has the right to exchange a Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture
or any Security, other than a provision in the Securities of any particular series which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof), payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price
upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) or exchange of such security need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but (except as otherwise provided with respect to such Security) may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such
Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or sinking fund payment date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity Date, or on such last day of exchange, provided that no
interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity Date, as the case may be.

or any Subsidiary of the Company, or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or
equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 

 

	SECTION 114.	CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. 

 If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another
provision hereof which is required or deemed to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the
Trust Indenture Act that 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. 
  


	SECTION 115.	COMMUNICATION BY HOLDERS WITH OTHER HOLDERS.

If any of the form or terms of the Securities of any series are established by action taken pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, a copy of an

	SECTION 302.	DENOMINATIONS. 

 The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as
contemplated by Section 301. With respect to Securities of any series denominated in Dollars, in the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities or any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations
of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
  

	SECTION 303.	EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING. 

 The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by
its Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, one of its Corporate Vice Presidents or Senior Vice Presidents or its Treasurer. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or
facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. 
 Securities
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices before the authentication
and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in
accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. 
 If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time
and if the terms of such series as established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or supplemental indenture shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and determining
the terms of particular Securities of such series, such as interest rate or formula, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. 

In authenticating Securities of any series, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee
shall receive, and (subject to TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon, 
 (1) an Opinion of
Counsel stating to the effect that: 
 (A) the form or forms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the
provisions of this Indenture; 
 (B) the terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of
this Indenture; and 

  
 20 







 (C) such Securities, when completed by appropriate insertions and executed and
delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions
specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, preferences and other similar
laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors to general equitable principles, limitations on enforceability where such provisions are contrary to public policy and other customary exceptions; and 

(2) an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the issuance of the
Securities have been complied with and that, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of such certificate, no Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing. 

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

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it
shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or a Company Order or an Opinion of Counsel or an Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the preceding paragraph at
the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion and certificates, with appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.

 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security (including a Global Security) shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder
but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never
be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

  
 21 








	SECTION 304.	TEMPORARY SECURITIES. 

 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute,
and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive
Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form, or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global form. 

Except in the case of temporary Securities (which shall be exchanged as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board
Resolution or supplemental indenture), if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such
series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series,
without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive
Securities of the same series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 

Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, the following provisions of this Section 304 shall govern the exchange of
temporary Securities other than through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). If any such temporary Security is issued in global form, then such temporary Global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein,
be delivered to the London office of a depositary or common depositary (the “Common Depositary”), for the benefit of Euroclear and Clearstream, for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to
such other accounts as they may direct). 
 Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date specified in, or determined
pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary Global Security (the “Exchange Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary Global
Security, executed by the Company. On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary Global Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to
time in part, for definitive Securities without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series
of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary Global Security to be exchanged. The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such temporary Global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form,
permanent global bearer form or permanent global registered form, or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; 


  
 22 







 
provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security, upon such presentation by the Common Depositary, such temporary Global Security
is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary global security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a
subsequent date and signed by Clearstream as to the portion of such temporary Global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture or in such other form as may be established pursuant
to Section 301. 
 Unless otherwise specified in such temporary Global Security, the interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary
Global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and
delivers to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the
Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices of Euroclear and Clearstream, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for such series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such
temporary Global Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary Global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and
the like unless such Person takes delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or Clearstream. Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary Global Security shall be
delivered only outside the United States. 
 Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects
be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable
on a temporary Global Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and Clearstream on such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and
Clearstream to the Trustee of a certificate or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301), for credit without further interest on or after such
Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners of such temporary Global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate
dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring prior to such Exchange Date in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the certifications made pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy the certification requirements of the preceding two paragraphs and of the third paragraph or Section 303 and the
interests of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of the temporary Global Security with respect to which such certification was made will be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor on the Exchange Date or the
date of certification if such date occurs after the Exchange Date, without further act or deed by such beneficial owners. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, no payments of principal or interest owing with respect to a beneficial
interest in a temporary Global Security will be made unless and until such interest in 

  
 23 







 
such temporary Global Security shall have been exchanged for an interest in a definitive Security. Any interest so received by Euroclear and Clearstream and not paid as herein provided shall be
returned to the Trustee prior to the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in order to be repaid to the Company. 
  

	SECTION 305.	REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. 

 The Company shall cause to be kept at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office or in any such office or agency of the Company in a Place of
Payment being herein sometimes referred to collectively as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers
of Securities. The Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially appointed “Security
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities on such Security Register as herein provided. If the Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all
reasonable times. 
 Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at
any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and containing identical terms and provisions. 

Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, at the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any such Securities
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any permanent Global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If
the depositary for any permanent Global Security is DTC, then, unless the terms of such Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Securities, a Global Security may be transferred, in
whole but not in part, only to a nominee of DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC, or to a successor to DTC for such Global Security selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor to DTC. If at any time (i) DTC notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or if DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act at any time when the depositary is required to be so registered in order to act as depositary for the
applicable Global Security and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or learns of such ineligibility, (ii) the Company determines that the Securities of a series shall no longer be
represented by a 

  
 24 







 
Global Security and executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to such effect or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have
occurred and be continuing and beneficial owners representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series advise DTC to cease acting as depositary for the applicable Global Security, then the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, definitive Securities of like series, rank, tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security or Securities. If any
beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent Global Security is otherwise entitled to exchange such interest for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as
contemplated by Section 301 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the permanent Global Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interest may be
so exchanged, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent Global Security. On
or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent Global Security shall be surrendered for exchange by DTC or such other depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee,
as the Company’s agent for such purpose. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent Global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record
Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date or (ii) any Special Record Date and the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted
Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment
Date or proposed date for payment as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such permanent Global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Every Security
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer (including evidence of title
and identity) in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 1107 or 1305 or the second sentence of the third preceding
paragraph not involving any transfer. 
 Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required to (1) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any
Security if such Security may be among those selected for redemption during a 

  
 25 







 
period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing or first publication, as the case may be, of notice of redemption of such Securities and ending at the close of business on
the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (2) register the transfer of or exchange any Security, or portion thereof, so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in
part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (3) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security which has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so
repaid. 
  

	SECTION 306.	MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES. 

 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or
the Company, together with, in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (1) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and
(2) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 306, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section 306 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and
all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section 306 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

  
 26 








	SECTION 307.	PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED. 

 Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series
of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, interest on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one
or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest in the relevant Security Register; provided, however, that, except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of
Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, each installment of interest on any Security may at the Company’s option be paid by (1) mailing a check for such interest payable to or upon the written order of the Person
entitled thereto, to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register or (2) wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee located inside the United States. 

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, every permanent Global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest
Payment Date will be paid to DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, as the case may be, with respect to that portion of such permanent Global Security held for its account by Cede & Co. or the Common Depositary or other nominee, as the case may
be, for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest received by it in respect of such permanent Global Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof. 

Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, any interest on any
Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the
relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election, in each case as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (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 Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the
Securities of such series) 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 on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money
when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not
more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special
Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed,

first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of
the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series 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 Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such
manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 307 and Section 305, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

 

	SECTION  308.	PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. 

 Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the
Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11), such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon such Person’s order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for money payable
upon any such Security. 
 No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a depositary shall have any rights under this
Indenture with respect to such Global Security and such depositary (or its nominee) shall be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of
the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any
Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any depositary (or its nominee), as a
Holder, with respect to such Global Security or impair, as between such depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depositary (or its
nominee) as Holder of such Global Security.

	SECTION  309.	CANCELLATION. 

 All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder,
registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee
for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be
promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so 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
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 309, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. Cancelled Securities held
by the Trustee shall be returned to the Company. 
  

	SECTION  310.	COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. 

 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 
  

	SECTION  311.	PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST. 

 The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Holders of Securities of any series, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on such the Securities of such series,
and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Holders of Securities of any Series all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to
the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities. 
 ARTICLE 4 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE 
  

	SECTION  401.	SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE. 

 This Indenture shall upon a Company Request cease to be of further effect with
respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Request (except as to (i) rights hereunder of 

  
 29 







 
Holders of the Securities of such series to receive all amounts owing upon the Securities of such series and the other rights, duties and obligations of Holders of the Securities of such series,
as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts, if any, so deposited with the Trustee, (ii) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iii) as provided below in this Section 401), and the Trustee, upon
demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture when: 

(1) either 
 (i) all Securities
of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (A) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, and (B) Securities for whose payment money
has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 406) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

(ii) all Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 

(A) have become due and payable, or 

(B) will become due and payable at their Maturity Date within one year, or 

(C) are to be called for redemption on a Redemption Date within one year under irrevocable arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and the Company, in the case of (A),
(B) or (C) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust for such purpose, money in the currency in which such Securities are denominated (except as otherwise provided pursuant to
Section 301) in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest
(including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on such Securities, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Maturity Date or such Redemption Date, as the case may
be; 
 (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable to the Trustee hereunder by the Company; and 

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

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Section 401, then
the provisions of Sections 305, 306, 

  
 30 







 
309, 607, 608(5), 1002, 1003 and 1010 and this Article 4 (other than Section 402) and, if the Securities of such series will be paid on a Redemption Date, Article 11 shall survive and remain
in full force and effect. 
  

	SECTION  402.	DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE. 

 (1) The Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at
any time, elect to have Section 402(2) or Section 402(3) be applied to the Outstanding Securities of any particular series specified in such Board Resolution upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Section 402.

 (2) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 402(2), the Company shall be deemed to
have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series on the date the conditions set forth in this Section 402(2) are satisfied (hereinafter, “legal defeasance”). For this purpose,
such legal defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities of such series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the
purposes of Sections 403 and 404 and the other provisions of this Indenture referred to below in this paragraph, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under the Securities of such series and this Indenture insofar as the Securities of
such series are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions hereof, which shall survive such legal defeasance and remain in full force and
effect with respect to the Securities of such series: (i) the rights of Holders of the Securities of such series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 402(4)(i), payments in respect of the principal of (and premium,
if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on the Securities of such series when such payments are due, (ii) the provisions of Sections 304, 305, 306, 606, 608(5), 1002, 1003 and 1010, and this
Article 4 (other than Section 401), and if the Securities of such series will be paid on a Redemption Date, Article 11, and (iii) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder. The Company may exercise its option under
this Section 402(2) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 402(3). 
 (3) Upon the Company’s
exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 402(3) with respect to the Securities of any particular series, the Company shall be released from its obligations under Section 1004 with respect to such Securities to keep in full
force and effect its rights (charter and statutory) and franchises (but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be released from their respective obligations with respect to such Securities to do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve
and keep in full force and effect their respective existences (except as permitted under Article 8)) and Section 1005, inclusive on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 402(4) are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant
defeasance”), and the Securities of such series shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with any such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that with respect to the Outstanding Securities of a particular series, the
Company may omit to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any 


  
 31 







 
such Section or by reason of reference in any such Section or to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of
Default under Section 501(3) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture, the Securities of such series shall be unaffected thereby. 

(4) The following shall be the conditions to the effectiveness of legal defeasance pursuant to Section 402(2), and covenant defeasance
pursuant to Section 402(3), to any Outstanding Securities of a series: 
 (i) The Company shall irrevocably have
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (A) an
amount in U.S. dollars, or (B) Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on such Securities, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in any case, in an amount, sufficient, without
consideration of any reinvestment of such principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11), 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, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest on such Securities on the Stated
Maturity of such principal or installment of principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest and the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11 on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture and such Securities. 
 (ii) In the case of legal defeasance pursuant to Section 402(2) with respect to
Securities of a particular series, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in 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 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; or, in the case of covenant defeasance pursuant to Section 402(3), the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the Holders of such 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. 

  
 32 







 (iii) Such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach
or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 

(iv) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit, and no Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default under Section 501(5) or 501(6) shall have occurred and be continuing at any
time during the period ending on and including the 91st day after the date of such deposit. 
 (v) The Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, under this Indenture have been complied with. 

(vi) If the monies or Government Obligations or combination thereof, as the case may be, deposited under Section 402(4)(i)
above are sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on such Securities provided such Securities are redeemed on a particular Redemption Date, the
Company shall have given the Trustee irrevocable instructions to redeem such Securities on such date and to provide notice of such redemption to Holders as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture. 

(vii) Such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance will not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest for the purposes
of the Trust Indenture Act with respect any of the Company’s securities. 
 (viii) Such legal defeasance or covenant
defeasance will not cause any securities listed on any registered national securities exchange under the Exchange Act to be delisted. 

(ix) Such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance will be effected in compliance with any additional terms, conditions or
limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith. 
 (5) The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge, imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Section 402 of the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to
Article 11) received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Securities. 

(6) Anything in this Section 402 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon
a Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 402(2)(i) which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 402.

	SECTION 403.	APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY. 

 Subject to the provisions of Section 405, all money and
Government Obligations (and proceeds therefrom) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 or 402 in respect of Outstanding Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of such
Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) for whose payment such money has or Government Obligations have been deposited with or received by the Trustee; but such money and Government
Obligations need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
  

	SECTION 404.	APPLICATION OF MONIES HELD. 

 Subject to the provisions of Section 405, the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall
hold in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of a particular series, all money and Government Obligations (and proceeds therefrom) deposited with it pursuant to Sections 401 and 402 shall apply the deposited money and Government
Obligations (and proceeds therefrom) in accordance with this Indenture and such Securities to the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on such
Securities. 
  

	SECTION 405.	RETURN OF UNCLAIMED MONIES. 

 Subject to the restrictions of applicable law, the Trustee and each Paying
Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) that remains unclaimed for two years after a
right to such money has matured; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment may, at the expense of the Company, cause to be mailed to each Holder entitled to such money, notice
that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein, which shall be at least 30 calendar days from the date of such mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the
Company, Holders entitled to that money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall be relieved of all liability with
respect to such money. 
  

	SECTION 406.	REINSTATEMENT. 

 If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any moneys or Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 401(1)(i) or 402(4)(i) to pay any principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on the Securities of a particular series by reason of any
legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such 

  
 34 







 
application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and such Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no such deposit had occurred, until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such moneys and Government Obligations to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on such Securities as
contemplated by Section 401 or 402, as the case may be, and Section 403; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption
pursuant to Article 11) on such Securities following the reinstatement of its obligations as aforesaid, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the funds held by the Trustee or
Paying Agent in trust. 
 ARTICLE 5 

REMEDIES 
  

	SECTION 501.	EVENTS OF DEFAULT. 

 In case any one or more of the following (each, an “Event of
Default”) (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or 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) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Securities of any particular series: 

(1) default in the payment of any Interest on the Securities of such series when such Interest becomes due and payable and continuance of such
default for a period of 30 days; 
 (2) default in the payment of any principal (and premium, if any) (including the Redemption Price upon
redemption pursuant to Article 11) with respect to the Securities of such series, when due and payable, on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration, upon redemption or otherwise; 

(3) default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or
warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than that series) and
continuance of such default for a period of 60 days after the Company receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities of such series then Outstanding and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; 
 (4)
default under any Indebtedness of the Company or of any or its Subsidiaries, having an aggregate principal amount outstanding of at least $50,000,000, which default shall have resulted in such Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable
prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such Indebtedness having been discharged, or such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled, within the greater of (i) the period specified in such
instrument and (ii) 60 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the Securities of such series Outstanding; 

  
 35 







 (5) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to or under or within meaning of
any Bankruptcy Law: 
 (i) commences a voluntary case; or 

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

(iii) consents to the appointment of any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or other similar official under any Bankruptcy
Law of it or for all or substantially of its property; or 
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

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

(i) is for relief against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case; or 

(ii) appoints a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Company or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries or for all or substantially all of its property; or 
 (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; 

and, in each case in this clause (6), the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 calendar days; 

then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) and Section 501(6)), unless the principal of all
of the Securities of such series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company
(and to the Trustee if given by Holders of Securities), specifying the respective Event of Default and that such notice is a “notice of acceleration,” may declare the principal amount of and premium, if any, as applicable, and Interest
accrued and unpaid on, all the Securities of such series to be immediately due and payable, and upon any such declaration the same shall be immediately due and payable. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or Section 501(6) occurs and is continuing, then the principal of (and premium, if any) and
Interest accrued and unpaid (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on all the Securities of such series shall be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder of Securities of such series. 

  
 36 







 If, at any time after the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon
redemption pursuant to Article 11) on the Securities of a particular series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided,
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the
Trustee, may waive all defaults or Events of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, subject in all respects to Section 507, if: (a) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) that have become due solely because of such acceleration, have been cured or waived; (b) the Company shall have deposited with the Trustee a
sum sufficient to pay all overdue Interest, including Interest on overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such Interest is lawful) overdue installments of Interest, and all principal which has become due otherwise than by such
acceleration; and (c) the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances pursuant to Section 606. No such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to
or shall affect any subsequent default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. 
 In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to
enforce any right under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of a particular series and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been
determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Holders of the Securities of such series, and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and
powers of the Company, the Holders of the Securities of such series, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken. 
 Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Interest on any overdue installments of principal of and premium, if any, as applicable, and (to the extent that payment of such Interest is lawful) Interest on the Securities of a particular series shall
accrue and be payable at the same rate as Interest is otherwise payable on such Securities. 
  

	SECTION 502.	PAYMENTS OF SECURITIES ON DEFAULT; SUIT THEREFOR. 

 The Company covenants that in the case of an Event of
Default with respect to Securities of a particular series pursuant to Section 501(1) or 501(2), upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, (i) the whole
amount that then shall be due and payable on all such Securities for principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11), as the case may be, with Interest upon overdue principal
and (to the extent that payment of such Interest is enforceable under applicable law) the overdue installments of accrued and unpaid Interest at the rate borne by such Securities from the required payment date and, (ii) in addition thereto, any
amounts due the Trustee under Section 606. Until such demand by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on the Securities to
the registered Holders, whether or not such payments in respect of the Securities are overdue. 

  
 37 







 In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and
as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions 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 final judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of such series and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor on the
Securities of such series wherever situated the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable. 
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of any particular series or the property of the Company or of such other
obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of such series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made
any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on such Securities shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise: (1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including Interest on overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such Interest is lawful) overdue
Interest) and including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11, owing and unpaid in respect of such Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders of such Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (ii) to collect and
receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder of such Securities to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of such Securities, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 606. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security of any series any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of such
series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of Securities of such series in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf
of the Holders of Securities, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and may be a member of the creditors’ committee. 

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under the Securities of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities of such series, 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 the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of
such series. 

  
 38 







 In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision
of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Securities parties to any such proceedings. 

 

	SECTION 503.	APPLICATION OF MONIES COLLECTED BY TRUSTEE. 

 Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article
5 shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Securities, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon
surrender thereof, if fully paid: 
  

			
	FIRST:	  	To the payment of costs and expenses of collection, including all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Trustee, its agents and counsel all other amounts
due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606;
		
	SECOND:	  	To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11), 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 aggregate amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption
Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11), respectively; and
		
	THIRD:	  	To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.

  

	SECTION 504.	PROCEEDINGS BY HOLDERS OF SECURITIES. 

 No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by
virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or
other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, except in the case of a default in the payment of principal (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on such Securities,
unless (a) 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, as hereinbefore provided, (b) the Holders of at least
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 and shall have offered to
the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred therein or thereby, (c) the Trustee for 60 calendar days after the receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall
have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and (d)  

  
 39 







 
no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities of such series then Outstanding in
accordance with Section 507; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Security with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of 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 (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this
Section 504, each and every Holder of Securities and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Security of any series, the right of any Holder of any Security of any series
to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on such Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or in the event of
redemption, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates against the Company, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

 

	SECTION 505.	PROCEEDINGS BY TRUSTEE. 

 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any
particular series, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of such Securities by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce
any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

 

	SECTION 506.	REMEDIES CUMULATIVE AND CONTINUING. 

 To the extent permitted by law, all powers and remedies given by this
Article 5 to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities of any particular series shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or 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, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities of any particular series to exercise
any right or power accruing upon any default or 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 any acquiescence therein, and, subject to the
provisions of Section 504, every power and remedy given by this Article 5 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of such Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by
the Holders of such Securities. 

  
 40 








	SECTION 507.	DIRECTION OF PROCEEDINGS AND WAIVER OF DEFAULTS BY MAJORITY OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES. 

 The Holders of
not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series at the time Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series; provided that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (b) the Trustee may take
any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and (c) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of such Securities
not joining therein, it being understood that (subject to Section 602) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearance are unduly prejudicial to such Holders. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any particular series at the time Outstanding may, on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Securities of such series, waive any past default or Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if
any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on the Securities of such series, (ii) a default in the payment of the Redemption Price or any Interest on the Securities of such series called for
redemption on a Redemption Date pursuant to Article 11, or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or provisions hereof, which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of all Securities of such series
then Outstanding or each Security of such series affected thereby. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default with respect to such Securities shall cease
to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to such Securities arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default with
respect to such Securities or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

	SECTION 508.	UNDERTAKING TO PAY COSTS. 

 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of a Security of any
particular series by its 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 and
expenses, 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; provided that the provisions of this Section 508 (to the extent permitted by law)
shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder of Securities of such series, or group of Holders of such series, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the Securities of
such series at the time Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of Securities of such series for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption
pursuant to Article 11) on such Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security. 

  
 41 







 ARTICLE 6 

THE TRUSTEE 
  

	SECTION 601.	NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. 

 Within 90 calendar days after the occurrence of any default hereunder, the Trustee
shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such default hereunder known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that,
except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on any Security of a particular series, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities of such series; and provided further that in the
case of any default or breach with respect to Securities of any series of the character specified in Section 501(6), no such notice to Holders of Securities of such series shall be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof.

  

	SECTION 602.	CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. 

 Subject to the provisions of TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d): 

(1) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate,
certificate, statement, instrument, Opinion of Counsel, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties; 
 (2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company
Request or Company Order (other than delivery of any Security to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 303 which shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be
sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
 (3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable
that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’
Certificate; 
 (4) before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, 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, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 

  
 42 







 (5) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it
by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of Outstanding Securities pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
 (6) the Trustee shall not be
bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series; provided 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 expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the reasonable expenses of every such examination shall be paid by the Holders or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Holders upon demand. The Trustee, in its
discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and
premises of the Company relevant to the facts or matters that are the subject of its inquiry, personally or by agent or attorney; 
 (7) 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; 
 (8) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in
good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; 

(9) the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder; 

(10) the permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and the Trustee shall not
be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct; and 
 (11) except for (i) a default under Sections 501(1) or 501(2)
hereof, or (ii) any other event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has “actual knowledge” and which event constitutes or, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default under
this Indenture with respect to Securities of any particular series, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default unless specifically notified in writing of such event by the Company or the Holders of not less
than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding; as used herein, the term “actual knowledge” means the actual fact or statement of knowing, without any duty to make any investigation
with regard thereto. 

  
 43 







 The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in
the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
against the Trustee. Other than with respect to Section 1001, the Trustee will have no duty to monitor, inquire as to or ascertain compliance with the covenants set forth in Article 10 or in indentures supplemental hereto in accordance with
Article 9. 
  

	SECTION 603.	NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES. 

 The recitals contained herein and in the Securities,
except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as
to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder. Neither
the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
  

	SECTION 604.	MAY HOLD SECURITIES AND COMMON STOCK. 

 The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent
or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities or Common Stock and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or such other agent. 
  

	SECTION 605.	MONEY HELD IN TRUST. 

 Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder 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 money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. 
  

	SECTION 606.	COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT. 

 The Company agrees: 

(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it
hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon its request for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel),
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct; and 

  
 44 







 (3) to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against or investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Sections 501(5) or 501(6), the expenses (including
the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 

As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property
and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on any Securities. The
provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
  

	SECTION 607.	CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY; CONFLICTING INTERESTS. 

 There shall at all times be a Trustee
hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the
requirements of federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia 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. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article. The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with
the Company shall serve as Trustee. 
 If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any other obligor under the Securities, the
Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the TIA regarding the collection of claims against the Company or any such other obligor, as the case may be. 
  

	SECTION 608.	RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. 

 (1) No resignation or removal of the
Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 609. 

  
 45 







 (2) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee. 
 (3) The Trustee may be removed upon thirty days’ written notice with respect to the Securities of any series by
Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 

(4) If at any time: 

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the
Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 
 (ii) the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or
of its property shall be appointed 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, (A) the Company by or pursuant to a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee, or
(B) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 

(5) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause
with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series). If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent
supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of securities of such series and accepted appointment in the
manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of Securities of such series who has been a bona fide Holder of Securities of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

  
 46 







 (6) Subject to Section 1002, the Company shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing or causing to be mailed such notice to the Holders of Securities of such series as they appear on the Security Register. Each
notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
  

	SECTION 609.	ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR. 

 (1) 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 Company 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 request of the
Company 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, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 606. 

(2) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the
Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto, pursuant to Article 9 hereof, wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) 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 Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring as to all Outstanding Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to Securities of that or those series to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of
this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees
co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such
supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 

  
 47 







 (3) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company 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 (1) or (2) of this Section 609, as the case may be. 

(4) 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. 
  

	SECTION 610.	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 all or substantially all of the corporate
trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto. 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. In case any Securities shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such
successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities, in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee. 

 

	SECTION 611.	APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT. 

 At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee
may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or
partial redemption thereof, and such 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. Any such appointment shall be
evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of
Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on
behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a bank or trust company or corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of the
United States of America or of any state or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal
or state authorities. If such Authenticating 

  
 48 







 
Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 

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 such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 

An Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of
Securities may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at
any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such
appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in Section 106 by mailing or causing to be mailed such notice to the Holders of Securities of such series
as they appear on the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named
as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Company
agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for its services under this Section. 

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of
the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form: 
 “This is one of
the Securities designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

	SECTION 612.	CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEE. 

 (1) With respect to the Securities, except
during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to any particular series of Securities: 
 (i) the Trustee
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and imposed by the Trust Indenture Act and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but shall not be under any duty to verify the contents or
accuracy thereof. 
 (2) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

(3) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own
grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this Subsection shall not be construed
to limit the effect of Subsection (1) of this Section; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable to Holders of Securities of any particular series 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 a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; 

  
 50 







 (iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk
its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; and 
 (v) except as explicitly specified otherwise
herein, the Company will be responsible for making all calculations required under this Indenture and the Securities. The Company will make all these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, the Company’s calculations will be
final and binding on Holders of the Securities. The Company will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely upon the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification. The
Trustee will forward the Company’s calculations to any Holder of the Securities upon request. 
 (4) Whether or not therein expressly
so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 612. 

ARTICLE 7

AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND COMPANY 
  

	SECTION 701.	DISCLOSURE OF NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF HOLDERS. 

 Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same,
agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent nor any Paying Agent nor any Security Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names
and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with TIA Section 312, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a
request made under TIA Section 312(b). 
  

	SECTION 702.	REPORTS BY TRUSTEE. 

 Within 60 days after May 15 of each year commencing with the first May 15 after
the first issuance of Securities pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities as provided in TIA Section 313(c) a brief report dated as of such May 15 if required by TIA Section 313(a). A
copy of each such report at the time of its mailing to Holders of Securities of any series shall be filed with the Commission and each national securities exchange on which the Securities of such series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify
the Trustee when Securities of any series are listed on any national securities exchange. 

  
 51 








	SECTION 703.	REPORTS BY THE COMPANY. 

 So long as any Securities are Outstanding, the Company will: 

(1) file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and
information, documents and other reports which the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports
pursuant to those Sections, then the Company will file with the Trustee, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which Section 13 of the Exchange Act may require with respect to a security listed and registered
on a national securities exchange; 
 (2) file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from
time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants of the Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and

 (3) transmit by mail to the Holders of Notes, within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, in the manner and to the extent
required by TIA Section 313(c), such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from
time to time by the Commission. 
 Reports, information and documents filed with the Commission via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering,
Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”) will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the time of such filing via EDGAR for purposes of this covenant; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to
determine whether or not such information, documents or reports have been filed via EDGAR. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commission will not accept the required filings through EDGAR for any reason, the Company may make the reports referred
to in clauses (1) and (2) above available on its website within fifteen (15) days after the Company would be required to file such reports with the Commission, and such reports will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the
time they are made available. 
 Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under this Section 703 is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not imply a duty to review and shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants
hereunder.

 The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished

of such series, add any additional Events of Default, or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company) or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Securities of any series in any respect; or 

(9) supplement any provision of this Indenture as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance or discharge of the Securities of

Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of any supplemental indenture, the Trustee is hereby
authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer and assignment of any property

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 901 may be executed by the Company 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 902. 
  

	SECTION 902.	SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES. 

 With the consent (evidenced as provided
in Article 7) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture voting separately, the Company, 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 for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or any

Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of any supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with
the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders of Securities as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 902 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. 
  

	SECTION 903.	EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE. 

 Any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the provisions of
this Article 9 shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect, provided that this Section 903 shall not require such supplemental indenture or the Trustee to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act prior to the time, if
ever, such qualification is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act or this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, nor shall it constitute any admission or acknowledgment by any party to such supplemental
indenture that any such qualification is required prior to the time, if ever, such qualification is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act or this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. Upon the execution of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of Securities shall thereafter be  

  
 56 







 
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. 
  

	SECTION 904.	NOTATION ON SECURITIES. 

 Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9 may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities so modified as
to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may, at the Company’s expense, be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated by
the Trustee (or an authenticating agent duly appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 611) and delivered in exchange for the Securities then Outstanding, upon surrender of such Securities then Outstanding. 

 

	SECTION 905.	EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE TO BE FURNISHED TO TRUSTEE. 

 Prior to entering into any
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article 9, the Trustee shall be provided with an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant hereto complies with the
requirements of this Article 9 and is otherwise authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE 10 

COVENANTS 
  

	SECTION 1001.	PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST. 

 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the
Holders of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid when due the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) payable in respect of
the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such series of Securities and this Indenture. 
  

	SECTION 1002.	MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. 

 The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for such series of
Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or agency. If at any time the
Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Company
hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

  
 57 







 The Company may 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 of such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its
obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of
any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities, the Company hereby designates as a Place of Payment for
each series of Securities the Corporate Trust Office, and initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as Paying Agent and as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, if and so long as the Securities of any series (1) are
denominated in a Foreign Currency or (2) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so
required, at least one exchange rate agent. 
 So long as the Trustee is the Securities Registrar, the Trustee agrees to mail, or cause to be mailed, the
notices set forth in Section 608(6). If co-registrars have been appointed in accordance with this Section, the Trustee shall mail such notices only to the Company and the Holders of Outstanding Securities it can identify from its records. 

 

	SECTION 1003.	MONEY FOR SECURITIES PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. 

 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying
Agent with respect to any series of any Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) in respect of, any of the
Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable
(except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) so becoming
due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium,
if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) in respect of, any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency
or currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

  
 58 







 The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 1003, that such Paying Agent will 

(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon
redemption pursuant to Article 11) on Securities in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 

(2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any such payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) on the Securities of that series; and 

(3) at any time during the continuance of any such default upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so
held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any
other purpose, pay, or by delivery of a Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such sums
were held by the Company 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 sums. 

Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) in respect of, any Security of any such series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such
principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon redemption pursuant to Article 11) have become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment of such principal of (and premium, if any) and Interest (including the Redemption Price upon
redemption pursuant to Article 11) in respect of, such Security, without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be mailed to Holders of Registered Securities, or both, notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notice, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

 

	SECTION 1004.	EXISTENCE. 

 Except as permitted under Article 8 the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises. However, the Company will not be required to preserve any right or franchise if the 

  
 59 







 
Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee of that Board of Directors) of the Company determines that the preservation of the right or franchise is no longer desirable in the conduct of
the business of the Company. 
  

	SECTION  1005.	PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS. 

 The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged before
it becomes delinquent: 
 (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed on it or any of its Subsidiaries or on its
or any such Subsidiary’s income, profits or property; and 
 (2) 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 of its Subsidiaries. 
 However, the Company will not be required to pay or discharge or
cause to be paid or discharged any tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings. 

 

	SECTION  1006.	APPOINTMENTS TO FILL VACANCIES IN TRUSTEE’S OFFICE. 

 The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a
vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as provided in Section 608, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder. 

 

	SECTION  1007.	STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE. 

 The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate as to such officers’ knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under the Indenture and, in the event of any noncompliance, specifying such noncompliance and the
nature and status thereof. For purposes of this Section 1007, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under the Indenture. 

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware of (i) any default in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or
condition contained in the Indenture, or (ii) any Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying with particularity such default or Event of Default and further stating what action the Company has taken, is taking or proposes to
take with respect thereto. 
 Any notice required to be given under this Section 1007 shall be delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office. 
  

	SECTION  1008.	ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. 

 If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company
will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series Additional Amounts as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned the payment of the 

  
 60 







 
principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the
terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts
(if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10
days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to the Maturity Date, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made),
and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee
and the Company’s principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and any premium or
Interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series who are not United States Persons without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities
of the series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities of that series and the Company will
pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall not so receive the above-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, then the Trustee or
such Paying Agent shall be entitled (1) to assume that no such withholding or deduction is required with respect to any payment of principal, premium or Interest with respect to any Securities of a series until it shall have received a
certificate advising otherwise and (2) to make all payments of principal, premium and Interest with respect to the Securities of a series without withholding or deductions until otherwise advised. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee
and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them pursuant to
this Section 1008 or in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 1008 or in reliance on the Company’s not furnishing such an Officers’ Certificate. 

 

	SECTION 1009.	WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS. 

 The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term,
provision or condition set forth in Sections 1004 to 1006, inclusive, with respect to the Securities of any series if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities
of such series, by act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so
expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

  
 61 








	SECTION 1010.	WAIVER OF USURY, STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. 

 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that
it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture or the Securities; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 

ARTICLE 11 
 REDEMPTION OF
SECURITIES 
  

	SECTION 1101.	APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. 

 Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be
redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article 11. 

 

	SECTION 1102.	ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE. 

 In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of the
Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least three (3) days prior (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) to the giving of the notice of redemption in Section 1104, notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date
and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 
  

	SECTION 1103.	SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED. 

 If less than all the Securities of any series originally
issued with the same terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the
minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series;
provided, however, that so long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of a Global Security, such Global Security will be redeemed in accordance with the requirements of DTC. 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in
the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the
context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be
redeemed. 

  
 62 








	SECTION 1104.	NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. 

 Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less
than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but failure to give such notice
in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security or
portion thereof. 
 Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. 
 All notices of redemption shall state: 

(1) the Redemption Date; 
 (2)
the Redemption Price and Additional Amounts, if any, payable upon redemption; 
 (3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series
are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount) of the particular Security or Securities to be redeemed; 

(4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the holder
will receive, without a charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed; 

(5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106, if
any, will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date; 

(6) the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if
any; 
 (7) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case; and 

(8) the CUSIP number of such Securities, if any. 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 

  
 63 








	SECTION 1105.	DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. 

 On or before any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit or cause to be
deposited with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article 12, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an
amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such
series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. 

 

	SECTION 1106.	SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE. 

 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the
Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at a redemption price therein specified (the “Redemption Price”) in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such
date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance
with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; and provided however that installments of interest on Securities whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 307. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and
premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by or provided in, as the case may be, the Security. 
  

	SECTION 1107.	SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART. 

 Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of
this Article 11 or of Article 12) shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge a new Security or Securities of the
same series of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. If a Global Security is so surrendered, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the depositary, without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so
surrendered.

 ARTICLE 12 

SINKING FUNDS 
  

	SECTION 1201.	APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. 

 The provisions of this Article 12 shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the
retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 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 such
Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of any Securities of any series, the cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as
provided in Section 1202. 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. 

 

	SECTION 1202.	SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES. 

 The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any
part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of a series, (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series
which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, as provided for by the terms of
such Securities, or which have otherwise been acquired by the Company; provided, however, that such Securities so delivered or applied as a credit have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such
purpose by the Trustee at the applicable Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

 

	SECTION 1203.	REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND. 

 Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for
Securities of any series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301
for the Securities of such series) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next
ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered and credited. If such Officers’ Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory
sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 

  
 65 







 
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 1103 and cause
notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the
manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107. 
 ARTICLE 13 

REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS 
  

	SECTION 1301.	APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. 

 Repayment of Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at the option of
Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the applicable terms, if any, of such Securities and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301) in accordance with this Article 13. 

 

	SECTION 1302.	REPAYMENT OF SECURITIES. 

 Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of
the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with Interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in or pursuant to the
terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that on or prior to the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in
Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the
Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal (or, if so provided by the terms of the Securities of such series, a percentage of the principal) of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued Interest
on, all the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date. 
  

	SECTION 1303.	EXERCISE OF OPTION. 

 Securities of any series subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will
contain an “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse of such Securities. The principal amount of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid in part if, following such repayment, the
unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities of the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided by the terms of any Security providing for
repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise or the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company. 

  
 66 








	SECTION 1304.	WHEN SECURITIES PRESENTED FOR REPAYMENT BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE. 

 If Securities of any series providing
for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article 13 and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid
shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date) such Securities
shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear Interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment in accordance with such provisions, the principal amount of such Security so to be repaid shall be paid by the Company, together with
accrued Interest, if any, to the Repayment Date; and provided however that installments of Interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable (but without Interest thereon, unless the Company shall
default in the payment thereof) to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

 If the principal amount of any Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, such principal amount (together with
Interest, if any, thereon accrued to such Repayment Date) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of Interest borne by or provided in, as the case may be, such Security. 

 

	SECTION 1305.	SECURITIES REPAID IN PART. 

 Upon surrender of any Security which is to be repaid in part only, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination specified by the
Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid.

for any purpose specified in Section 1401, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have made the first publication of the notice of such meeting within 20
days after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then the Company or the Holders of Securities of such series in the amount above specified, as the case may be, may determine the
time and the place for such meeting and may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in clause (1) of this Section 1402. 
  

	SECTION 1403.	PERSONS ENTITLED TO VOTE AT MEETINGS.

	SECTION 1404.	QUORUM; ACTION.

consent, waiver or other action which this Indenture expressly provides may be given by the Holders of not less than a specified percentage in aggregate 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 with respect to such matter. 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 Holders 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

 68 







 Except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned

by the proviso to Section 902, 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 Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series. 
 Any resolution passed or
decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Securities of particular any series duly held in accordance with this Section 1404 shall be binding on all the Holders of Securities of such series, whether or not present or represented at the
meeting. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1404, if any action is to be taken at a meeting of Holders of Securities of any
particular 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 Holders of such series and one or more additional
series: 
 (1) there shall be no minimum quorum requirement for such meeting and 

(2) the aggregate 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 1405.	DETERMINATION OF VOTING RIGHTS, CONDUCT AND ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS. 

 (1) Notwithstanding any
provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders 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. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or other proof. 

(2) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by
the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 1402(2), in which case the Company or the Holders 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. 

  
 69 







 (3) 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. 

(4) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any particular series duly called pursuant to Section 1402 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 1406.	COUNTING VOTES AND RECORDING ACTION OF MEETINGS.

Holders of Securities of any particular series shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders 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 Holders of Securities of any particular 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 1402 and, if applicable, Section 1404. 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 Company 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.
