Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer's Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, except as provided
in Section 2.8.



  






    	 	-8-	 



     

    

 


Prior to the issuance of Securities of
any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying on: (a) the Board
Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer's Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of
Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officer's
Certificate complying with Section 10.4, (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4 and (d) an Opinion of Counsel (which
may be the same Opinion of Counsel referred to in the preceding clause (c)) that such Securities, when they have been duly executed,
issued, and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered against payment therefor in the circumstances
described in such Opinion of Counsel, will be legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company
in accordance with their terms.


 


The Trustee shall have the right to decline
to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action
may not be taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a
trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents or a committee of Responsible Officers shall determine that such action would
expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then-outstanding Series of Securities.


 


The Trustee may appoint an authenticating
agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee
may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating
agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.


 


Section 2.4Registrar and Paying
Agent. 


 


The Company shall maintain, with respect
to each Series of Securities, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.2, an office or
agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment ("Paying Agent"), where Securities
of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange ("Registrar") and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be delivered ("Notice
Agent"). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their transfer and exchange.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each
Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar, Paying
Agent or Notice Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices
and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as
its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands; provided, however, that any appointment
of the Trustee as the Notice Agent shall exclude the appointment of the Trustee or any office of the Trustee as an agent to receive
the service of legal process on the Company.


 


The Company may also from time to time
designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional notice agents 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 obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.2 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 name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional notice agent. The term
"Registrar" includes any co-registrar; the term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying
agent; and the term "Notice Agent" includes any additional notice agent. The Company or any of its Affiliates
may serve as Registrar or Paying Agent.


 






    	 	-9-	 



     

    

 


The Company hereby appoints the Trustee
the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent, as
the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued.


 


Section 2.5Paying 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 Securityholders of
any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the
Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee in writing 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 Securityholders of
any Series of Securities 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.


 


Section 2.6Securityholder Lists. 


 


The Trustee shall preserve in as current
a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each
Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in
writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Securityholders
of each Series of Securities.


 


Section 2.7Transfer and Exchange.


 


Where Securities of a Series are presented
to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities
of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are
met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar's request.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein),
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6
or 9.6).


 






    	 	-10-	 



     

    

 


Neither the Company nor the Registrar
shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series for the period beginning at the
opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the sending of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected
for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange
Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities
selected, called or being called for redemption in part.


 


Section 2.8Mutilated, Destroyed,
Lost and Stolen Securities. 


 


If any mutilated Security is surrendered
to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of
the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.


 


If there shall be delivered to the Company
and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or
indemnity bond as may be required by each of them to hold itself and any of its agents 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
receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost
or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.


 


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, 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 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 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.


 


Section 2.9Outstanding Securities. 


 


The Securities outstanding at any time
are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those
reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described
in this Section as not outstanding.


 






    	 	-11-	 



     

    

 


If a Security is replaced pursuant to
Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held
by a bona fide purchaser.


 


If the Paying Agent (other than the Company,
a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to
pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to be outstanding and
interest on them ceases to accrue.


 


The Company may purchase or otherwise
acquire the Securities, whether by open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise. A Security does not cease to be
outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security (but see Section 2.10 below).


 


In determining whether the Holders of
the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent
or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall
be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of
acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2.


 


Section 2.10Treasury Securities. 


 


In determining whether the Holders of
the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded, except that
for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver only Securities of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded.


 


Section 2.11Temporary Securities. 


 


Until definitive Securities are ready
for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary Securities
shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for
temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order shall
authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged,
temporary securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive Securities.


 


Section 2.12Cancellation. 


 


The Company at any time may deliver Securities
to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to
them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange,
payment, replacement or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement
of the Exchange Act and the Trustee) and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company upon written request of the
Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.


 






    	 	-12-	 



     

    




 


Section 2.13Defaulted Interest. 


 


If the Company defaults in a payment of
interest on a Series of Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any interest payable
on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Securityholders of the Series on a subsequent special record date. The Company
shall fix the record date and payment date. At least 10 days before the special record date, the Company shall send to the Trustee
and to each Securityholder of the Series a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of interest
to be paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner.


 


Section 2.14Global Securities. 


 


2.14.1.       Terms
of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer's Certificate shall establish whether the
Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depositary for
such Global Security or Securities.


 


2.14.2.       Transfer
and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in addition thereto,
any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders
other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency
under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
to the effect that such


 


Global Security shall be so exchangeable.
Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in
such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global
Security with like tenor and terms.


 


Except as provided in this Section 2.14.2,
a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security to a nominee
of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary
or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.


 


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


 






    	 	-13-	 



     

    

 


2.14.3.       Legends.
Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:


 


"THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY
WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF THE
DEPOSITARY. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE
ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO
A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY
OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY."


 


In addition, so long as the Depository
Trust Company ("DTC") is the Depositary, each Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee shall bear
a legend in substantially the following form:


 


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


 


2.14.4.       Acts
of Holders. The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the
Indenture.


 


(a)       Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in
person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective
when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act"
of Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such
agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in
the manner provided in this Section.


 






    	 	-14-	 



     

    




 


(b)       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 such officer the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer's individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of such signer's 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 manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.


 


(c)       The
ownership of Global Securities or any Securities issued in certificated form shall be proved by the Register.


 


(d)       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 or the Company in reliance
thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.


 


(e)       If
the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act,
the Company may, at its option, by 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. 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 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 six months after the record date.


 


2.14.5.       Payments.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2, payment of the
principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof.


 


2.14.6.       Consents,
Declaration and Directions. The Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount
of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depositary
or by the applicable procedures of such Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents,
declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture.


 


Section 2.15CUSIP Numbers. 


 


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

Section 3.1Notice to Trustee. 


 


The Company may, with respect to any Series
of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series of Securities
or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Securities. If
a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or
part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption
date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice at least 5 days before
the notice is delivered to the Holders, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee.


 


Section 3.2Selection of Securities
to be Redeemed. 


 


Unless otherwise indicated for a particular
Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer's Certificate, if less than all the Securities of a
Series are to be redeemed, the Securities of the Series to be redeemed will be selected as follows: (a) if the Securities
are in the form of Global Securities, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, (b) if the Securities are listed on
any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on
which the Securities are listed, or (c) if not otherwise provided for under clause (a) or (b) in the manner that the Trustee deems
fair and appropriate, including by lot or other method, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements,
subject, in the case of Global Securities, to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. Portions of the principal of
Securities of the Series that have denominations larger than $1,000 may be selected for redemption. Securities of the Series and
portions of them it selected for redemption shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 or, with respect to Securities
of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2.10, the minimum principal denomination for each Series and
the authorized integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption
also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called for redemption.

(a)       the
redemption date;


 


(b)       the
redemption price;


 


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


 


(d)       if
any Securities are being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed and that, after
the redemption date and upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion of the original Security shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security;


 


(e)       that
Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;


 


(f)       that
interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date unless the Company
defaults in the deposit of the redemption price;


 


(g)       the
CUSIP number, if any; and


 


(h)       any
other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Securities of a Series being redeemed.


 


At the Company's request, the Trustee
shall give the notice of redemption in the Company's name and at its expense, provided, however, that the Company has delivered
to the Trustee, at least 5 days (unless a shorter time shall be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the notice date, an Officer's
Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice.


 


Section 3.4Effect of Notice of Redemption. 


 


Once notice of redemption is sent as provided
in Section 3.3, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption
price. Except as otherwise provided in the supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or Officer's Certificate for a Series, a notice
of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price
plus accrued interest to the redemption date.


 


Section 3.5Deposit of Redemption

On or before 11:00 a.m, New York City
time, on the redemption date, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient (as determined by the
Company) to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date.

The Company covenants and agrees for the
benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest, if any,

on Officer's Certificates).

or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities; and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede

Section 5.1When Company May Merge,
Etc. 


 


The Company shall not consolidate with

"Event of Default," wherever

supplemental indenture or Officer's Certificate, it is provided that such Series shall not have the benefit of said Event of Default:


 


(a)       default
in the payment of any interest on any Security of that Series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default
for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of such payment is deposited by the Company with the Trustee or with a Paying

(a) or (b) above or pursuant to a covenant or warranty that has been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of Series
of Securities other than that Series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered
or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied
and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or


 


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

a voluntary case,


 


(ii)       consents

(ii)       appoints
a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or


 


(iii)       orders
the liquidation of the Company,


 


and the order or decree remains unstayed and

(f)       any
other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that Series, which is specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental
indenture hereto or an Officer's Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.2.18.


 


The term "Bankruptcy Law"
means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar U.S. Federal or State law for the relief of debtors. The term "Custodian"
means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.


 


The Company will provide the Trustee written
notice of any Default or Event of Default within 30 days of becoming aware of the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default,
which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking
or proposes to take in respect thereof.


 


Section 6.2Acceleration of Maturity;
Rescission and Annulment. 


 


If an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section
6.1(d) or (e)) then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that Series are Discount Securities, such portion of
the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of
the Securities of that Series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) shall occur, the principal
amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities shall ipso facto
become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.


 


At any time after such a declaration of
acceleration with respect to any Series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained
by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if
all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the principal and interest, if any,
of Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided
in Section 6.13.


 


No such rescission shall affect any subsequent
Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.3Collection of Indebtedness
and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 


 


The Company covenants that if


 


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


 


(b)       default
is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof, or


 


(c)       default
is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, if any, when and as due by the terms of a Security,


 


then,
the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then
due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and any overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,
and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.


 


If the Company fails to pay such amounts
forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding
for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the
same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or deemed to be payable in the
manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.


 


If an Event of Default with respect to
any Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights
and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such Series 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 6.4Trustee May File Proofs
of Claim. 


 


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 or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors,
the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities 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
or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,


 






    	 	-22-	 



     

    

 


(a)       to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the 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 compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders
allowed in such judicial proceeding, and


 


(b)       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 to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7.


 


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


 


Section 6.5Trustee May Enforce Claims
Without Possession of Securities. 


 


All rights of action and claims under
this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities
or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought
in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the compensation,
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders
of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.


 


Section 6.6Application of Money
Collected. 


 


Any money or property collected by the
Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case
of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the
notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:


 


First: To the payment of all amounts due
the Trustee under Section 7.7; and


 


Second: To the payment of the amounts
then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money
has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities
for principal and interest, respectively; and


 


Third: To the Company.

Section 6.7Limitation on Suits. 


 


No Holder of any Security of any Series
shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment
of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless


 


(a)       such
Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that
Series;


 


(b)       the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series shall have made written request to
the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;


 


(c)       such
Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by the Trustee in compliance with such request;


 


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


 


(e)       no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series;


 


it being understood, intended and expressly
covenanted by the Holder of every Security with every other Holder and the Trustee that no one or more of such Holders shall have
any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders
or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all
such Holders of the applicable Series.


 


Section 6.8Unconditional Right of
Holders to Receive Principal and Interest. 


 


Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the
principal of and interest, if any, on such Security on the Maturity of such Security, including the Stated Maturity expressed in
such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.


 


Section 6.9Restoration of Rights
and Remedies. 


 


If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted
any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination
in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions
hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had
been instituted.

Section 6.10Rights and Remedies
Cumulative. 


 


Except as otherwise provided with respect
to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.8, no right or remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.


 


Section 6.11Delay or Omission Not
Waiver. 


 


No delay or omission of the Trustee or
of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right
or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient,
by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.


 


Section 6.12Control by Holders. 


 


The Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series 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,


 


(c)       subject
to the provisions of Section 7.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good
faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal
liability, and


 


(d)       prior
to taking any action as directed under this Section 6.12, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnity satisfactory to it against
the losses, costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

Section 6.13Waiver of Past Defaults. 


 


The Holders of not less than a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such Series,
by written notice to the Trustee and the Company, waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences,
except a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences,
including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default 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 impair any right consequent thereon.


 


Section 6.14Undertaking for Costs. 


 


All parties to this Indenture agree, and
each Holder of any Security by his 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of
such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any
party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant;
but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee,
to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of any Series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest
on any Security on or after the Maturity of such Security, including the Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the
case of redemption, on the redemption date).

Section 7.6Reports by Trustee to
Holders. 


 


Within 60 days after each , commencing
, 20 , the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear on the register kept
by the Registrar, a brief report dated as of such anniversary date, in accordance with, and to the extent required under, TIA §
313.


 


A copy of each report at the time of its

any national securities exchange or delisted from any national securities exchange.


 


Section 7.7Compensation and Indemnity. 


 


The Company shall pay to the Trustee from

and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel.


 


The Company shall indemnify each of the
Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (including for the cost of defending itself) against any cost, damages, losses, expense or
liability, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it
except as set forth in the next paragraph in the performance of its duties under this Indenture or in connection with its acceptance
of its obligations hereunder, as Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may
seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder, unless
and to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced thereby. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate
in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.
The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification
shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee.


 


The Company need not reimburse any expense
or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent
of the Trustee through willful misconduct or negligence, as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.


 


To secure the Company's payment obligations
in this Section, the Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Securities of any Series on all money or property held or collected
by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities of that Series.


 


When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services
are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

The Trustee may resign with respect to
the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series
by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing at least 30 days prior to such removal. The Company may remove the Trustee
with respect to Securities of one or more Series with at least 30 days written notice if:

year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Securities
may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.


 


If a successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any one or more Series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,
the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities of the applicable
Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.


 


A successor Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Promptly after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer
all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the claim provided for in Section 7.7, the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties
of the Trustee with respect to each Series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee
shall mail a notice of its succession to each Securityholder of each such Series. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant
to this Section 7.8, the Company's obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee
with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it for actions taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with its rights,
powers and duties under this Indenture prior to such replacement.

therein, any additional covenants specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or
an Officer's Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 (and the failure to comply with any such covenants shall not constitute

indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officer's Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2.18

provided that the following conditions shall have been satisfied:


 


(a)       with

in cash, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants or investment bank
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal (including
mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments) of and interest on all the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments

Subject to applicable abandoned property
law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal
and interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After that, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Company for
payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person, and the Trustee shall have
no further liability with respect to such money.


 


Section 8.6Reinstatement. 


 


If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is
unable to apply any money deposited with respect to Securities of any Series in accordance with Section 8.1 by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
such application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such Series and under the
Securities of such Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1 until such
time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.1; provided, however,
that if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities
because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities
to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent after payment in full
to the Holders.

    	 	-37-	 



     

    

 


Section 9.2With Consent of Holders. 


 


The Company and the Trustee may enter
into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer
or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Securityholders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer
or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or
the Securities with respect to such Series.


 


It shall not be necessary for the consent
of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver,
but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After a supplemental indenture or waiver under this
section becomes effective, the Company shall send to the Holders of Securities affected thereby, a notice briefly describing the
supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to send such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in
any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.


 


Section 9.3Limitations. 


 


Without the consent of each Securityholder
affected, an amendment or waiver may not:


 


(a)       reduce
the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;


 


(b)       reduce
the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any Security;


 


(c)       reduce
the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment
of any sinking fund or analogous obligation;


 


(d)       reduce
the principal amount of Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof;


 


(e)       waive
a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration
of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such
Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);


 


(f)       make
the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency other than that stated in the Security;


 






    	 	-38-	 



     

    

 


(g)       make
any change in Sections 6.8, 6.13 or 9.3 (this sentence); or


 


(h)       waive
a redemption payment with respect to any Security, provided that such redemption is made at the Company's option.


 


Section 9.4Compliance with Trust
Indenture Act. 


 


Every amendment to this Indenture or the
Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then in effect.


 


Section 9.5Revocation and Effect
of Consents. 


 


Until an amendment is set forth in a supplemental
indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even
if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as
to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date of the supplemental indenture
or the date the waiver becomes effective.


 


Any amendment or waiver once effective
shall bind every Securityholder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described in any of
clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented
to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's
Security.


 


The Company may, but shall not be obligated
to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described
above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the second
immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only
those persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or take any such action, whether
or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120
days after such record date.


 


Section 9.6Notation on or Exchange
of Securities. 


 


The Company or the Trustee may place an
appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange
for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section
2.3 new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver.


 


Section 9.7Trustee Protected. 


 


In executing, or accepting the additional
trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this
Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both complying with Section 10.4 and stating that the supplemental indenture
is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and constitutes a legal valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures upon delivery of such an Officer's Certificate
or Opinion of Counsel or both, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights,
duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture.

Section 10.15Securities in a Foreign
Currency. 


 


Unless otherwise specified in a Board
Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer's Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Indenture with
respect to a particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of
a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series or all Series affected by a particular action
at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in more than one
currency, then the principal amount of Securities of such Series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking
such action shall be determined by converting any such other currency into a currency that is designated upon issuance of any particular
Series of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer's Certificate
delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, such conversion shall be
at the spot rate for the purchase of the designated currency as published in The Financial Times in the "Currency Rates"
section (or, if The Financial Times is no longer published, or if such information is no longer available in The Financial Times,
such source as may be selected in good faith by the Company) on any date of determination. The provisions of this paragraph shall
apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency other than Dollars
in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.


  


All decisions and determinations provided
for in the preceding paragraph shall, in the absence of manifest error, to the extent permitted by law, be conclusive for all purposes
and irrevocably binding upon the Trustee and all Holders.


 


Section 10.16Judgment Currency. 


 


The Company agrees, to the fullest extent
that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary
to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest or other amount on the Securities of any Series (the "Required
Currency") into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of
exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of
New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such
day is not a New York Banking Day, then the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking
procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York
Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make
payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, any recovery pursuant to any judgment
(whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent
that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed
to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose
of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of
the Required Currency so expressed to be payable, and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum
due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, "New York Banking Day" means any day except a Saturday,
Sunday or a Legal Holiday in The City of New York on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or
executive order to close.

Section 10.17Force Majeure. 


 


In no event shall the Trustee be responsible
or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly,
forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or
military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
or computer (software and hardware) services, it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable best efforts which are
consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.


 


Section 10.18. U.S.A. Patriot Act.

accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies

ARTICLE
XI

SINKING FUNDS


 


Section 11.1Applicability of Article. 


 


The provisions of this Article shall be
applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series if so provided by the terms of such Securities
pursuant to Section 2.2 and except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant
to this Indenture.


 


The minimum amount of any sinking fund
payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment"
and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking
fund payment." If provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment
may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities
of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such Series.

Section 11.2Satisfaction of Sinking
Fund Payments with Securities. 


 


The Company may, in satisfaction of all
or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities
(1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities
previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking
fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased by the Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant
to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted
optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities
have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officer's Certificate
with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities
for redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified in such Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result
of the delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2, the principal amount of Securities
of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not
call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such action be taken, and such cash
payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a Company Order pay over and deliver
to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of
Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment required to be released
to the Company.


 


Section 11.3Redemption of Securities
for Sinking Fund. 


 


Not less than 45 days (unless otherwise
indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer's Certificate in respect of a particular Series of
Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer's
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 and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be
satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 11.2, and the optional amount, if any, to
be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount
therein specified. Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officer's Certificate or supplemental
indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date the Securities to be redeemed
upon such sinking fund payment date will be selected in the manner specified in Section 3.2 and the Company shall send or cause
to be sent a notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided
in and in accordance with Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon
the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.
