to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian
in respect of the obligation set forth in (i) or (ii) above or the specific payment of interest on or principal of such obligation
evidenced by such depository receipt.

except that in the case of any such application or request as
to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular
application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.


 


Every certificate or opinion with respect
to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:


 


(1)         a
statement that the Person signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating
thereto;


 


(2)         a

(4)         a
statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.


 


Section 1.03         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 with respect 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

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

Section 1.04         Acts
of Holders.


 


(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 an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective
when such instrument or instruments are received by 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 the 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 (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee
and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04.


 


(b)          The
fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may be proved
in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in any reasonable manner which
the Trustee deems sufficient.


 


(c)          The
ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.


 


(d)          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. Notwithstanding Trust Indenture Act 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 shall be computed as of such record
date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such 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.


 


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


 


Notices, Etc., to Trustee and the 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,


 




    	9



     


    

 


(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
(including a facsimile transmission) to or with the Trustee at [______], Attention: [______],


 


(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 (including a facsimile transmission) 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 instrument or at any other address previously furnished
in writing to the Trustee by the Company, to the attention of the secretary of the Company.


 


Section 1.05         Notice
to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any
event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class
postage prepaid, to each 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, prescribed for the giving of such notice hereunder. In any case where
notice to Holders 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. 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.


 


In case by reason of the suspension of regular
mail service or by reason of any other case it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall
be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.


 


Section 1.06         Conflict
with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts
with another provision which is required or deemed to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act, such required or deemed provision shall control.


 


Section 1.07         Effect
of Headings and Table of Contents. The article and section headings herein and
the table of contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.


 


Section 1.08         Successors
and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall
bind their successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.


 


Section 1.09         Separability
Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.


 


Section 1.10         Benefits
of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied,
shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their


 




    	10



     


    

 


successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.


 


Section 1.11         Governing
Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes will be construed in accordance with
the laws of said State without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws of such State.


 


EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.


 


Section 1.12         Legal
Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture or of the Securities) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment
on such date, but 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 or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue for the
period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.


 


Section 1.13         References
to Currency. All references in this Indenture to “dollars” or “$”
are to the currency of the United States of America.


 


Section 1.14         Force
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 efforts which are consistent with
accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.


 


Section 1.15         USA
PATRIOT Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326
of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money
laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes
a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with
such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.

Issuable in the Form of a Global Security.


 


(a)          If
the Issuer shall establish pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 3.01 that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued in whole
or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with

which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount


 




    	12

the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Security or Securities, (ii) shall be registered in
the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the
Depositary or its custodian or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the

THIS GLOBAL SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE (I) BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR (II) BY A
NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR THE DEPOSITARY TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE

CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO

OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.”


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 2.03 or of Section 3.05, unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global
Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual Securities, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not
in part and in the manner provided in Section 3.05, only to another nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security, or to a
successor Depositary for such Global Security selected or approved by the Issuer or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.


 


(c)          (i)
If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible or in
good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Issuer shall
appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global Security. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not

of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security
in exchange for such Global Security.


 


(ii)         If
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or an event shall have occurred which with the giving of notice or lapse
of time or both would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented by such Global Security, the Trustee,
upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange for such
Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form
in an


 




    	13

of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depositary. Thereupon
the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (1) to each Person specified
by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms in definitive form and of any authorized
denomination of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof as requested by such Person in aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security; and (2) to such Depositary
a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount
of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of individual Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and
deliver individual Securities in definitive registered form in authorized denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of

(a)          that

(e)          the
items set forth in Section 1.02 hereof and such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.


 


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


 


Each Security shall be dated the date of
its authentication unless otherwise provided by the terms established and contemplated by Section 3.01.


 


No Security shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and
is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.


 


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.


 


Section 3.05         Registration,
Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at one of its offices or agencies maintained pursuant
to Section


 




    	18



     


    

 


10.02 or at the office of the Security Registrar
a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being
herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to Section 2.03 and to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities.
The Trustee initially is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers
of Securities as herein provided. The Company may act as Security Registrar and may change or appoint a Security Registrar without
prior notice to Holders or to the Trustee.


 


Subject to Section 2.03, upon surrender
for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency 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 and tenor.


 


Subject to Section 2.03, at the option of
the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations
and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency.
Whenever any 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.


 


Subject to Section 2.03, all Securities
issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be 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 shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer 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 2.03, 3.04, 9.06 or 12.07 not involving any transfer.


 


The Company shall not be required (i) to
issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption (under Section 12.03)
and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.


 


Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify
the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s
Security in


 




    	19



     


    

 


violation of any provision of this Indenture
and/or applicable United States federal or state securities law.


 


The Trustee shall have no obligation or
duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under
applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among depositary
participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and
other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this
Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.


 


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


 


Section 3.06         Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If there shall be delivered to the Company
and the Trustee (i) (A) any mutilated Security or (B) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold 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 written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed,
lost or stolen Security or in exchange for such mutilated 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 3.06, 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, which shall include any
attorney’s fees and expenses) connected therewith.


 


Every new Security of any series issued
pursuant to this Section 3.06 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for such mutilated Security, shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, 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 3.06 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 3.07         Payment
of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any Interest Payment


 




    	20



     


    

 


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.


 


Any interest on any Security of any series
which 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 Holder 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, and at the same time the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted
Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such
money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.
Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall 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 so mailed, 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 3.07, each Security lawfully delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu
of any other


 




    	21



     


    

 


Security shall carry the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.


 


Section 3.08         Persons
Deemed Owners. Subject to Section 2.03, 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 (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security
and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent
of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


Section 3.09         Cancellation.
All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, 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 shall be promptly cancelled
by it. 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 all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled
by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this
Section 3.09, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Securities in accordance
with its customary procedures and deliver evidence of such destruction, at the request of, and at the expense of, the Company.


 


Section 3.10         Computation
of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for
the Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.


 


Section 3.11         CUSIP
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 identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission
of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

    	26



     


    

 


other than an Event of Default with respect
to any covenant as to which there has been Covenant Defeasance, the U.S. Government Obligations on deposit with the Trustee will
be sufficient to pay amounts due on such Securities at the time of the Stated Maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts

warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 5.01 specifically dealt with or which has
expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that series) and continuance
of such 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, a written notice
specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”

of Default resulting from bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding
occurs and is continuing, 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 the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities,
such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all 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) shall become immediately due and payable.


 


In the case of an Event of Default resulting
from bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, which occurs and is continuing with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding, then all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on all such Outstanding Securities of that series shall become immediately
due and payable without any notice or other action on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of any Securities of such series.


 


At any time after such a declaration of
acceleration with respect to Securities of 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:

overdue interest (including Defaulted Interest) on all Securities of that series,


 


(b)          the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,


 


(c)          to
the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in
such Securities, and


 


(d)          all
sums paid or advanced by the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee hereunder and all sums due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee
under Section 6.07; and


 


(2) all Events of Default with
respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become
due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.


 


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


 


Section 5.03         Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits For Enforcement By Trustee. The Company covenants that
if


 


(1)      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


 


(2)      default
is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof,


 


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 premium,
if any) and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal
(and premium, if any) and on 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 all amounts due the
Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.07.


 


If the Company fails to pay such amounts
forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, at the expense of Company, 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 decreed
to be payable in


 




    	29



     


    

 


the manner provided by law out of the property
of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.


 


If any Event of Default with respect to
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 appropriate judicial proceedings necessary 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 5.04         Trustee
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:


 


(1)      to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) 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 reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel)
and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and


 


(2)      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 reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder.


 


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 5.05         Trustee
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


 




    	30



     


    

 


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 in respect of
which such judgment has been recovered.


 


Section 5.06         Application
of Money Collected. Any money 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
on account of principal (or premium, if any) 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 (including its agents and counsel) and each predecessor Trustee hereunder;


 


SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then
due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) 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 premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and


 


THIRD: To the Company.


 


Section 5.07         Limitation
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:


 


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


 


(2)      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;


 


(3)      such
Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
in compliance with such request;


 


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


 


(5)      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 and intended 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 (it


 




    	31



     


    

 


being further understood that the
Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to 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.


 


Section 5.08         Unconditional
Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium 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 premium,
if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities 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 5.09         Restoration
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 5.10         Rights
and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, 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 prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.


 


Section 5.11         Delay
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 any 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 5.12         Control
by Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of any series (or if more than one series is affected thereby, of all series so affected, voting as a single class) 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:


 




    	32



     


    

 


(1)      such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, expose the Trustee to personal liability or be
unduly prejudicial to Holders not joining therein, and


 


(2)      the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.


 


Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the
right of the Trustee to take any other action which is not inconsistent with such direction.


 


Section 5.13         Waiver
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 waive any past default
hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default


 


(1)      in
the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, or


 


(2)      in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder
of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.


 


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 5.14         Undertaking
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 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; but the provisions
of this Section 5.14 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 premium, if
any) or interest on any Securities on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). This Section 5.14 shall be in lieu of Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act
and such Section 315(e) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.


 


Section 5.15         Waiver
of 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 stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance
of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby


 




    	33



     


    

 


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
VI


 


THE
TRUSTEE


 


Section 6.01         Certain
Duties and Responsibilities.


 


(a)          Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series,


 


(1)      the
Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture with respect to
such series, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and


 


(2)      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.


 


(b)          In
case an Event of Default has occurred with respect to Securities of any series and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such
of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities, 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 his or her own
affairs.


 


(c)          No
provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:


 


(1)      this
subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section 6.01;


 


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


 


(3)      the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, determined as provided
in Section 5.12 relating to the


 




    	34



     


    

 


time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and


 


(4)      no
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any 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.


 


(d)          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 6.01.


 


Section 6.02         Notice
of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with
respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series, as their
names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder actually 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 (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series or in the payment
of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such
notice if the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities
of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.01(4)
with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence
thereof. For the purpose of this Section 6.02, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse
of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.


 


Section 6.03         Certain
Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01:


 


(a)          the
Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any Board Resolution, resolution,
Officers’ Certificate, certificate, statement, instrument, Opinion of Counsel, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;

thereon;


 


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


 


(f)          the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness
or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts
or matters as it 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, personally or by agent or attorney and shall incur no liability or additional
liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;


 


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

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


 


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


 


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


 


(k)          the
Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles
of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may

such certificate previously delivered and not superseded;

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


 


(m)         the
Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed
by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; and the Trustee may request
that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time
to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.


 


Section 6.04         Not
Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals contained herein
and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company,
and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities
or the proceeds thereof.


 


Section 6.05         May
Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other
agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections
6.08 and 6.12, may otherwise deal with, and collect obligations owed to it by, the Company with the same rights it would have
if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.


 


Section 6.06         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 6.07         Compensation,
Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Company agrees:


 


(1)      to
pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing
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 it in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as
may be attributable to its own negligence or bad faith; and


 


(3)      to
indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder and the performance of its
duties hereunder, including


 




    	37



     


    

 


the costs and expenses of defending
itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense is due to its
own negligence or bad faith.


 


To ensure the performance of the obligations
of the Company hereunder, the Trustee shall have a senior claim to which the Securities are hereby made subordinate upon all property
and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except property and funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on particular Securities.


 


When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01, 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.


 


The provisions of this Section 6.07 shall
survive the termination of this Indenture.


 


Section 6.08         Disqualification;
Conflicting Interests. The Trustee shall comply with the terms of Section 3.10(b)
of the Trust Indenture Act.


 


Section 6.09         Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder
which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or
the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers having (or, in the case of the subsidiary
of a bank holding company that guarantees the obligations of the Trustee under this Indenture, such holding company’s parent
shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority.
If such corporation or holding company parent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements
of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.09, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or holding company parent 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
6.09, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this article.


 


Section 6.10         Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) 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 6.11.


 


(b)         The
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company.
If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within
30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. If the
acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for by


 




    	38



     


    

 


the first sentence of this subsection may
be combined with the instrument called for by Section 6.11.


 


(c)          The
Trustee, upon 30 days’ notice, may be removed at any time 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.


 


(d)          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 removal, the Trustee being removed may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.


 


(e)          If
at any time:


 


(1)      the
Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Security for at least six months,


 


(2)      the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or
by any such Holder, or


 


(3)      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, upon 30 day’s notice, (i) the
Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder
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.


 


(f)          The
Company also may remove the Trustee with or without cause if the Company so notifies the Trustee 30 days in advance and if no Default
occurs or is continuing during the 30-day period.


 


(g)          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 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) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.
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


 




    	39



     


    

 


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 in accordance with the applicable requirements of
Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor
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 and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security 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 with respect to the Securities of such series.


 


(h)          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 with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security
Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address
of its Corporate Trust Office. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for the actions or inaction of any successor
Trustee.


 


Section 6.11         Acceptance
of Appointment by Successor. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor
Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
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 the 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.


 


(b)          In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the
Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and
deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain
such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment
of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such
provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue
to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary
to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing
herein or in such


 




    	40



     


    

 


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, at the expense of the Company, 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.


 


(c)          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 (a) or (b) of this Section
6.11, as the case may be.


 


(d)         No
successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified
and eligible under this article.


 


Section 6.12         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 the corporate
trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of this Indenture), 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.


 


Section 6.13         Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor
upon the Securities) the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims
against the Company (or any such other obligor). A trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to the Trust Indenture
Act Section 311(a) to the extent provided therein.

HOLDERS’
LISTS AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND COMPANY


 


Section 7.01         Company
to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders. The Company will furnish or
cause to be furnished to the Trustee and Security Registrar (if not the Trustee) with respect to the Securities of each series


 




    	41



     


    

 


(a)          semi-annually,
not more than 15 days after each Regular Record Date, or, in the case of any series of Securities on which semi-annual interest
is not payable, not more than fifteen days after such semi-annual dates as may be specified by the Trustee, a list, in such form
as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of such Regular Record Date or such semi-annual
date, as the case may be, and


 


(b)          at
such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a
list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished;


 


provided, however, that so long as the Trustee
is the Security Registrar, no such list need be furnished.


 


Section 7.02         Preservation
of Information; Communications to Holders.


 


(a)          The
Security Registrar shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained
in the most recent list furnished by the Company as provided in Section 7.01. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it
as provided in Section 7.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.


 


(b)          If
three or more Holders (herein referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee
reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application,
and such application states that the applicants’ desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under
this Indenture or under the Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants
propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election,
either


 


(i)          afford
such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a), or


 


(ii)         inform
such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time
by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Holders the form of proxy
or other communication, if any, specified in such application.


 


If the Trustee shall elect not to afford
such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder
whose name and address appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a) a copy
of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the
Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment by such requesting Holders, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable
expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission,
together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such
mailing would be contrary to the best interest of the Holders or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement
shall


 




    	42



     


    

 


specify the basis of such opinion. If the
Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order
refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission
shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order
so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Holders with reasonable promptness after the entry of
such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants
respecting their application.


 


(c)          Every
Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that none of the Company, the
Trustee or any agent thereof shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and
addresses of the Holders in accordance with Section 7.02(b), 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 Section 7.02(b).


 


(d)          Subject
to Sections 7.02(a), 7.02(b), 7.02(c) and 6.01, if the Company or any other person (other than the Trustee) shall desire to communicate
with Holders of Securities to solicit or obtain from them any proxy, consent, authorization, waiver, approval of a plan of reorganization,
arrangement or readjustment or other action (“Holder Action”), the Trustee shall have no duty to participate
in such communication or solicitation or the processing of responses in any manner except (i) to furnish the rules and regulations
and to perform the functions referred to in Section 1.04 and (ii) to receive (A) the instruments evidencing the Holder Action together
with (B) the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel referred to below. The Company hereby covenants that any and all
communications and solicitations distributed by it in connection with any Holder Action will comply in all material respects with
applicable law, including, without limitation, applicable law concerning adequacy of disclosure. The Trustee shall have no responsibility
for the accuracy or completeness of any materials circulated to solicit any Holder Action or for any related communications or
for the compliance thereof with applicable law. No Holder Action shall become effective until the Trustee shall have received from
the Company or other person who solicited the Holder Action the instruments evidencing such Holder Action (x) (in the case of Holder
Action solicited by the Company or the representative of the Company’s estate if the Company is the debtor in any bankruptcy
or other insolvency proceeding) an Officers’ Certificate and (y) (in all cases) an Opinion of Counsel, each specifying the
Holder Action taken and stating that such Holder Action has been duly and validly taken in compliance with this Indenture in all
material respects. Such Officers’ Certificate, if any, shall also certify that (after giving effect to such Holder Action)
no Event of Default or event or condition which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing or has not been waived.


 


(e)          The
Depositary may grant proxies and otherwise authorize its participants which own the Global Securities to give or take any Act which
a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture; provided, however, that the Depositary has delivered a list of
such participants to the Trustee.

(a)          Within
60 days after September 30 of each year commencing with the first September 30 following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee
shall transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, a brief report dated as of

any delisting thereof.

and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from
time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section
13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (provided that availability of such reports on a website
maintained by the Commission shall be deemed to fulfill this requirement); or, if the Company is not required to file information,
documents or reports pursuant to either of said sections, then it shall file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance
with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information,
documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in respect of a security
listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations; and

with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with the 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 this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations.


 


Delivery of such reports, information and
documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive
notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance
with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

Section 10.01       Payment
of Principal, Premium and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit
of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities
of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. At the option of the Company, payment of principal
(and premium, if any) and interest may be made by wire transfer or (subject to collection) by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security Register.


 


Section 10.02       Maintenance
of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any
series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or 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 hereby initially appoints the Trustee its office or agency for each of said purposes. The Company will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any
time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.


 


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


 


Section 10.03       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 Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of
(and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums
shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
failure so to act.


 


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


 




    	49



     


    

 


The Company will cause each Paying Agent
for any series of Securities 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 10.03, that such Paying Agent will:


 


(1)      hold
all sums held by it for the payment on the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
provided;


 


(2)      give
the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any
payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest 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 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 trusts 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 money.


 


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) or interest on
any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become
due and payable shall be paid to the Company on 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
thereof, 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, shall at the expense of the Company cause to be mailed or published once, in a newspaper published in the English
language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the City, County and State of New York, notice
that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date
of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.


 


The Company shall have no obligation to
make payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security in immediately available funds, except that if the
Company shall have received original payment for Securities in immediately available funds it shall make available immediately
available funds for payment of the principal of such Securities.

Section 10.04       Corporate
Existence. Subject to Article VIII, the Company will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of
Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and
that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.


 


Section 10.05       Maintenance

be made all necessary material repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of
the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted
at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.05 shall prevent the Company from discontinuing

the conduct of its business and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

by Officers as to Default. The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120
days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, a certificate of the principal executive officer,

signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of
this Indenture, and if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which
they may have knowledge.


 


Section 10.07       Waiver
of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply
with any term, provision or condition set forth in this Article X if, before or after the time for such compliance, the Holders
of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (taken together as one class) shall, by Act of such Holders,
either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision 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.


 


Section 10.08       Calculation
of Original Issue Discount. The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at

to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

REDEMPTION
OF SECURITIES


 


Section 11.01       Applicability
of Article. Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity
shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities
of any series) in accordance with this article.


 


Section 11.02       Election
to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities
shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities
of any series, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities
of such series to be redeemed, such notice to be accompanied by a written statement signed by an authorized officer of the Company
stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default with respect to the Securities of that series have occurred
(which have not been waived or cured). 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
an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.


 


Section 11.03       Selection
by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of any
series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, subject to the customary procedures of the Depositary, and which may provide for the
selection or 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.


 


The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company
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 Securities
redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.


 


Section 11.04       Notice
of Redemption. The Company shall give a notice of redemption by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, mailed not less than 45 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be
redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail,
or any defect in the notice to any such Holder in respect of


 




    	52



     


    

 


any Security, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings
for the redemption of any other Security.


 


All notices of redemption shall state:


 


(1)      the
Redemption Date,


 


(2)      the
Redemption Price and any accrued interest,


 


(3)      if
less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption,
the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed,


 


(4)      that
on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and any accrued interest will become due and payable upon each such Security to be
redeemed together with accrued interest thereon and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said
date,


 


(5)      the
place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and any accrued interest,


 


(6)      that
the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, and


 


(7)      the
CUSIP number and, if applicable, the ISIN number, of the Securities being redeemed.


 


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 written request, by the Trustee
in the name and at the expense of the Company.


 


Section 11.05       Deposit
of Redemption Price. On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption
Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold
in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money, in funds immediately available on the due date, sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities
which are to be redeemed on that date.


 


Section 11.06       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 the Redemption Price therein specified
together with accrued interest thereon, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption
Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall 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
to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on the Redemption
Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more


 




    	53



     


    

 


Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business
on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.


 


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 prescribed therefor in the Security.


 


The Trustee shall not redeem any Securities
of any series pursuant to this article (unless all Outstanding Securities of such series are to be redeemed) or mail or give any
notice of redemption of Securities during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee with respect to
such series, except that, where the mailing of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee
shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Company a sum sufficient for
such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys theretofore or thereafter received by the Trustee shall, during the continuance
of such Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article V and held for the payment of all such Securities of such
series. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 5.13 or the default cured on or before the
sixtieth day preceding the Redemption Date, such moneys shall thereafter be applied in accordance with the provisions of this article.


 


Section 11.07       Securities
Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part 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 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.

SINKING
FUNDS


 


Section 12.01       Applicability
of Article. The provisions of this article shall be applicable to any sinking fund
for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such
series.


 


The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment
provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment,”
and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as
an “Optional Sinking Fund Payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount
of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 13.02. 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.


 




    	54



     


    

 


Section 12.02       Satisfaction
of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding
Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as credit Securities of a 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, in each case in satisfaction of all or any
part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such
Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such
Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities
for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.


 


Section 12.03       Redemption
of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund
payment date for any series of Securities, the Company (1) will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate (A) stating
that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series have occurred (which
have not been waived or cured), (B) specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to
the terms of Securities of that series, (C) stating whether or not the Company intends to exercise its right, if any, to make
an Optional Sinking Fund Payment with respect to such series on the next ensuing sinking fund payment date and, if so, specifying
the amount of such Optional Sinking Fund Payment and (D) specifying the portion of such sinking fund payment, 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 Securities
of that series pursuant to Section 13.02 and (2) will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less
than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities of such series to be redeemed
upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 12.03 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 12.04. Such notice having been duly given,
the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 12.05, 12.06 and 12.07. Failure
of the Company, on or before any such 60th day, to deliver such Officers’ Certificate and Securities specified in this Section
13.03, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Company
(a) that the Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid
entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (b) that the Company
will make no Optional Sinking Fund Payment with respect to Securities of such series as provided in this article.


 


The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to
be redeemed any Security of a series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such series by
operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of
Default with respect to such series except that, where the mailing of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore
have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have received from
the Company a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time
when any such default or Event of Default shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the
continuance of such default or Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article V and held for the payment of all
such


 




    	55



     


    

 


Securities of such series. In case such Event
of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 5.13 or the default cured on or before the 60th day preceding the sinking
fund payment date, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with
this Section 13.03 to the redemption of such Securities.


 


This instrument may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute
but one and the same instrument.

SUBORDINATION


 


Section 13.01       Agreement
to Subordinate.


 


(a)          The
Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities issued hereunder by such Holder’s acceptance thereof likewise
covenants and agrees, that (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series) all Securities
shall be issued subject to the provisions of this article; and each Holder of a Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer
or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.


 


(b)          The
payment by the Company of the principal of, and interest on, the Securities issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner
hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of
the Company, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.


 


(c)          No
provision of this article shall prevent the occurrence of any default or Event of Default hereunder.


 


Section 13.02       Default
on Senior Indebtedness.


 


(a)          No
direct or indirect payment by or on behalf of the Company of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, whether
pursuant to the terms of the Securities or upon acceleration, by way of repurchase, redemption, defeasance or otherwise, will be
made if, at the time of such payment, there exists a default in the payment when due of all or any portion of the obligations under
or in respect of any Senior Indebtedness, whether at maturity, on account of mandatory redemption or prepayment, acceleration or
otherwise, and such default shall not have been cured or waived or the benefits of this sentence waived by or on of the holders
of Senior Indebtedness.


 


(b)          In
addition, during the continuance of any non-payment default or non-payment event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness
pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated, and upon receipt by the Trustee of written notice (a “Payment
Blockage Notice”) from a holder or holders of such Senior Indebtedness or the trustee or agent acting on behalf of such Senior
Indebtedness, then, unless and until such default or event of default has been cured or waived or has ceased to exist or such Senior
Indebtedness has


 




    	56



     


    

 


been discharged or repaid in full in cash,
or the requisite holders of such Senior Indebtedness have otherwise agreed in writing, no payment of any kind or character with
respect to any principal of or interest on or distribution will be made by or on behalf of the Company on account of or with respect
to the Securities, during a period (a “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing on the date of receipt of such Payment
Blockage Notice by the Trustee and ending 179 days thereafter.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (x) in no event will a Payment Blockage Period extend beyond 179 days from the date the Payment
Blockage Notice in respect thereof was given and (y) there must be 180 days in any 360-day period during which no Payment Blockage
Period is in effect. Not more than one Payment Blockage Period may be commenced with respect to the Securities during any period
of 360 consecutive days. No default or event of default that existed or was continuing on the date of commencement of any Payment
Blockage Period with respect to the Senior Indebtedness initiating such Payment Blockage Period may be, or be made, the basis for
the commencement of any other Payment Blockage Period by the holder or holders of such Senior Indebtedness or the trustee or agent
acting on behalf of such Senior Indebtedness, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event
of default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.


 


(d)          In
the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee when such payment is prohibited by
the preceding paragraph of this Section 13.02, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or
delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture
pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear,
as calculated by the Company, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full, in cash, after giving effect to
any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or
distribution is made to the Holders or to the Trustee.


 


Section 13.03       Liquidation;
Dissolution; Bankruptcy.


 


(a)          Upon
any distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon
any total or partial dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, assignment
for the benefit of creditors or marshalling of the Company’s assets, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other
similar proceedings, whether voluntary or involuntary, all principal, premium, if any, and interest due or to become due to all
Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall first be paid in full in cash, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of
the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, before the Holders are entitled to receive or retain any payment; and upon any such dissolution
or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind
or character whether in cash, property or securities, which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled to receive from the Company,
except for the provisions of this article, shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating
trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders or by the Trustee under this Indenture if
received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or their respective representatives, or to
the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been
issued, as their


 




    	57



     


    

 


respective interests may appear, as calculated
by the Company, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full in cash, or such payment duly provided for to the
satisfaction of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for
the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders or to the Trustee.


 


(b)          In
the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether
in cash, property or securities, prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee before all Senior Indebtedness of
the Company is paid in full, or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such payment or distribution
shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their
respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such
Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, to the extent
necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full, in cash, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or
for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders or to the
Trustee.

purposes of this article, the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of
the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization
or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this article with respect to the Securities
to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company that may at the time be outstanding; provided, however, that (i) such
Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment, and (ii)
the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization
or readjustment. The amalgamation or consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation
or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its properties or assets substantially
as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article Eight of this Indenture shall not
be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 14.03 if such other corporation
shall, as part of such amalgamation, consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article
Eight of this Indenture. Nothing in Section 14.02 or in this Section 14.03 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee
under or pursuant to Section 6.07 of this Indenture.


 


(d)          If
the Trustee or any Holder of Securities does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred
to above prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim in such proceeding, then the holder of any Senior
Indebtedness is hereby authorized, and has the right, to file an appropriate claim or claims for or on behalf of such Holder of
Securities.

Section 13.04       Subrogation.


 


(a)          Subject
to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company then outstanding, the rights of the Holders shall be subrogated
to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of
the Company applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full;
and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any cash,
property or securities to which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this article, and no
payment over pursuant to the provisions of this article to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by Holders
or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the
Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that the provisions
of this article are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and
the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.


 


(b)          Nothing
contained in this Article XIV or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the
Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the Holders, the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of and interest on the Securities as and when the same
shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders
and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company nor shall anything herein or therein
prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Securities from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default
under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this article of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness in respect of
cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.


 


(c)          Upon
any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section
6.01 of this Indenture, and the Holders shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any order or decree made by any court of competent
jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of
the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered
to the Trustee or the Holders, for the purposes of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders
of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid
or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this article.


 


Section 13.05       Trustee
to Effectuate Subordination. Each Holder of Securities by such Holder’s acceptance
thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate
to effectuate the subordination provided in this article and appoints the Trustee such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any
and all such purposes.

Section 13.06       Notice
by the Company.


 


(a)          The
Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit
the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this article.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with
knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect
of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this article, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof from the Company or a Holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness or from any representative or trustee
therefor; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01 of this Indenture,
shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received
the notice provided for in this Section 14.06 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money
may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security),
then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such
money and to apply the same to the purposes for which such money was received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary
that may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date.


 


(b)          The
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01 of this Indenture, shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to
it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company (or a trustee or representative
on behalf of such holder), to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or a trustee or
representative on behalf of any such holder or holders. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence
is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of such Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution
pursuant to this article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee
as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in
such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this article and, if such evidence
is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person
to receive such payment.


 


Section 13.07       Rights
of The Trustee; Holders of Senior Indebtedness.


 


(a)          The
Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this article in respect of any Senior Indebtedness
at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive
the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.


 


(b)          With
respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its
covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this article and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to
the holders of such Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed
to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness

and, subject to the provisions of Section
6.01 of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of such Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver
to Holders, the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by
virtue of this article or otherwise.


 


Section 13.08       Subordination
May Not be Impaired.


 


(a)          No
right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company to enforce subordination as herein provided shall
at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure
to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.


 


(b)          Without
in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company may, at any time
and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the
Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this article or the obligations hereunder of the Holders
to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment
or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, such Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner such
Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which such Senior Indebtedness is outstanding;
(ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing such Senior Indebtedness;
(iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of such Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from
exercising or waive any rights against the Company and any other Person.


 


(c)          Each
present and future holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to the benefit of the provisions of this article notwithstanding
that such holder is not a party to this Indenture.


 


Section 13.09       Article
Applicable to Paying Agents. In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the
Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this
article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent
within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this article in addition to or
in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that this Section 14.09 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company
if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.


 


Section 13.10       Defeasance
of This Article. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments
from cash or the proceeds of United States Government Obligations held in trust under Article Four hereof by the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee) and which were deposited in accordance with the terms of Article Four hereof and not in violation of Section
14.02 hereof for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of
any Senior Indebtedness or subject to the


 




    	61



     


    

 


restrictions set forth in this article, and none of the Holders
shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior Indebtedness or any other creditor of the
Company.


 


Section 13.11       Subordination
Language to be Included in Securities. Each Security shall contain a subordination
provision which will be substantially in the following form:


 


“The Securities are subordinated in
right of payment, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Indenture, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness
(as defined in the Indenture, or as set forth in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, a Board Resolution in accordance with
Section 3.01 of the Indenture or in this Security). Each Holder by accepting a Security agrees to such subordination and authorizes
the Trustee to give it affect.”


 


Section 13.12       Trustee
Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall not be deemed
to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall
in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other person cash, property
or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise. With respect
to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations
as are specifically set forth in this Article and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Indebtedness
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.
