respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01, any interest on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid 

  
 16 








 
or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Security (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant regular
record date, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below. 

(1) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner: the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee funds in an amount 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 funds when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted
Interest as provided in this clause (1). Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 nor less than ten days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less
than ten days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee promptly shall 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 Securityholder at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than ten days prior to such special
record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered on such special record date and shall not be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 
 (2)
The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange. 
 Section 2.04 Execution and Authentications. 

The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by any Officer or any member of the Board of Directors of the Company and any Guarantee
shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by any member of the Board of Directors of the Guarantor or by its president, chief financial officer, vice president, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer or assistant treasurer. Signatures may be
in the form of a manual or facsimile signature. In the case of Definitive Securities of any series, such signatures may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on such Securities. The Securities may contain such notations, legends or endorsements
required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication by the Trustee. 
 A Security
shall not be valid until authenticated manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee or by an Authenticating Agent. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder and that the holder 

  
 17 








 
is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by
the Company, together with the Guarantee endorsed thereon executed by the Guarantor to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, signed by an Officer (an
“Authentication Order”), and the Trustee in accordance with such written order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01 and the preceding paragraph, in the case of Securities offered in a Periodic Offering, the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities from time to time in accordance with instructions or such other procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a supplemental indenture or the written order of the
Company delivered to the Trustee prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series. With respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the
Company of any of such Securities, the forms and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the written order of the Company, Opinion of Counsel, Officer’s Certificate and other documents delivered
pursuant to this Section 2.04 at or prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series unless and until such written order, Opinion of Counsel, Officer’s Certificate or other documents have been superseded or
revoked or expire by their terms. 
 Section 2.05 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for such
purpose as provided in Section 4.02, a register or registers (the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities and the transfers of
Securities as provided in this Article II and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of registering Securities and the transfer of Securities as herein provided shall be appointed as
authorized by Board Resolution (the “Security Registrar”). If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Security Registrar, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Security
Registrar. 
 To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute a new Security or Securities of the same series
as the Security presented for a like aggregate principal amount and in authorized denominations, the Guarantor shall execute a new Guarantee to be endorsed thereon and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Security or Securities upon
receipt of an Authentication Order. The Trustee shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company and the
Guarantor, as applicable, evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Prior to such due presentment for the registration of a
transfer of any Security, the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantor, any paying agent and the Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving
payment of principal of and interest on such Securities and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantor, the paying agent or the Security Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  
 18 








 All certifications, certificates and opinions of counsel required to be submitted to the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 2.05 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 
 (b) Service
Charge. No service charge shall be payable by a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security or by a Holder of a Definitive Security for any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, or for any issue of new Securities in case
of partial redemption of any series, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto (other than any such taxes or other governmental charge payable upon exchange or
registration of transfer pursuant to Sections 2.06, 3.03(b) and 9.04). 
 (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. A Global
Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for a series of the Securities to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or to another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or
any such nominee to a successor Depositary for a series of the Securities or a nominee of such successor Depositary. If at any time the Depositary for a series of the Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for such series or if at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute or regulation, and a successor Depositary for such series is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, the provisions of Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable to the Securities of such series. In addition, (i) the Company
may at any time determine that the Securities of any series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security and that the provisions of Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Securities of such series and (ii) upon an Event of
Default if the Trustee so requests, the Securities of any series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security and the provisions of Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Securities of such series. In any such event the Company will
execute the Definitive Securities of such series and the Guarantor will execute the Guarantee endorsed thereon, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series and
subject to this Section 2.05 the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, if applicable, will authenticate and deliver such Definitive Securities in exchange for such Global Security.
Upon the exchange of the Global Security of such series for such Definitive Securities of such series, the Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Definitive Securities shall be registered in such names and in such authorized
denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its Participants or Indirect Participants or otherwise, shall in writing instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in
whose names such Securities are so registered. 
 Except as provided in Sections 2.06 and 2.07, a Global Security may not be exchanged for
another Security other than as provided in this Section 2.05(c); however, beneficial interests in a Global Security may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.05(d) or (e). The provisions of this Section 2.05(c) are
subject to Section 2.11. 

  
 19 








 (d) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Securities. The transfer
and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Securities of a series shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, any Board Resolution and any one or more indentures supplemental hereto, and the
Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Securities of a series shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial
interests in the Global Securities also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable: 

(1) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Security. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Security of a series
may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Security in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend. Beneficial interests in any
Unrestricted Global Security of a series may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security of such series. Subject to Section 2.05(e)(4), no written orders or
instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Security Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.05(d)(1). 

(2) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Securities. Subject to Section 2.05(c), in connection
with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.05(d)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Security Registrar, as applicable, either: 

(A) (1) an order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the relevant Applicable Procedures
directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Security of such series in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance
with the relevant Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase; or 

(B) (1) an order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the relevant Applicable Procedures
directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Security of such series in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Security Registrar containing
information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Security shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (B)(1) above; 

provided that in no event shall Definitive Securities of a series be issued upon the transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in the Regulation S
Temporary Global Security of such series prior to (y) the expiration of the relevant Distribution Compliance Period and (z) the receipt by the Security Registrar of any certificates identified by the Company or its counsel to be required
pursuant to Rule 903 and Rule 904 under the Securities Act. Upon satisfaction of all the requirements for transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in Global Securities of a series contained in this Indenture, any Board Resolution, or one or
more indentures supplemental hereto and the Securities of such series or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Security or Securities of such series pursuant to
Section 2.05(h). 

  
 20 








 (3) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Security. A beneficial
interest in any Restricted Global Security of a series may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Security of the same series if the transfer complies with the
requirements of Section 2.05(d)(2) and the Security Registrar receives a completed certificate in the form of Exhibit A. 
 (4)
Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Security for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Security. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Security of any series may be exchanged by any holder
thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security of such series or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security of such series if the exchange or
transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.05(d)(2) above and the Security Registrar receives a completed certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, and an opinion of counsel in form, and from
legal counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Security Registrar and the Company to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement
Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act. 
 If any such transfer is effected at a time when an
Unrestricted Global Security of such series has not yet been issued, the Company shall execute and issue and the Guarantor shall execute the Guarantee endorsed thereon and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with
Section 2.04, the Trustee shall authenticate, one or more Unrestricted Global Securities of such series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests so transferred. Beneficial interests in an
Unrestricted Global Security of a series cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security of such series. 

(e) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests for Definitive Securities. 

Subject to Section 2.05(c), 

(1) Beneficial Interests in Restricted Global Securities to Restricted Definitive Securities. If any holder of a beneficial interest
in a Restricted Global Security of a series proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Restricted Definitive Security of such series or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Restricted
Definitive Security of such series, then, upon receipt by the Security Registrar of a completed certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, and certificates and opinions of counsel, if applicable, the Trustee
shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Restricted Global Security of such series to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.05(h), and the Company shall execute a Restricted Definitive Security of such series in the
appropriate principal amount and the Guarantor shall execute the Guarantee endorsed thereon and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order pursuant to Section 2.04, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the
instructions such Restricted 

  
 21 








 
Definitive Security. Any Restricted Definitive Security of such series issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security of such series pursuant to this
Section 2.05(e) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the Security Registrar through instructions from the Depositary for such
series and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee shall deliver such Restricted Definitive Securities of such series to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. Any Restricted Definitive Security of such series
issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security of such series pursuant to this Section 2.05(e)(1) shall bear the Private Placement Legend and shall be subject to all restrictions on transfer contained therein. 

(2) Beneficial Interests in Restricted Global Securities to Unrestricted Definitive Securities. A holder of a beneficial interest in a
Restricted Global Security of a series may exchange such beneficial interest for an Unrestricted Definitive Security of such series or may transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted
Definitive Security of such series only if the Security Registrar receives a completed certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, and an opinion of counsel in form, and from legal counsel, reasonably
acceptable to the Security Registrar and the Company to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer
required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

Unrestricted Definitive Securities. If any holder of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security of a series proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for an Unrestricted Definitive Security of such series or to transfer such
beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Security of such series, then, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.05(d)(2), the Trustee shall cause the aggregate
principal amount of the applicable Unrestricted Global Security of such series to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.05(h), and the Company shall execute an Unrestricted Definitive Security of such series in the appropriate principal
amount and the Guarantor shall execute the Guarantee endorsed thereon and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.04, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions such
Unrestricted Definitive Security. Any Unrestricted Definitive Security issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.05(e)(3) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or
denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the Security Registrar through instructions from the Depositary for such series and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee shall deliver such Unrestricted
Definitive Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. Any Unrestricted Definitive Security issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.05(e)(3) shall not bear the Private Placement
Legend. 
 (4) Transfer or Exchange of Regulation S Temporary Global Securities. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Section 2.05, a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Security of a series may not be (A) exchanged for a Definitive Security of such series prior to (y) the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with
respect to such series (unless such exchange is effected by the Company, does not require an investment decision on the 

  
 22 








 
part of the Holder thereof and does not violate the provisions of Regulation S) and (z) the receipt by the Security Registrar of any certificates identified by the Company or its counsel to
be required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act or (B) transferred to a U.S. person (as such term is defined in Regulation S) or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (other than an initial purchaser of such

 (h) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Securities. At such time as all beneficial
interests in a particular Global Security of a series have been exchanged for Definitive Securities of such series or a particular Global Security of a series has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global
Security of such series shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.08. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security of such series is exchanged for or
transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security of such series or for Definitive Securities of such series, the principal amount of Securities of such series represented by such
Global Security shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement may be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for
or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security of such series, such other Global Security shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement may be made on such Global
Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 
 (i) No Exchange or
Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than
all the Outstanding Securities of the same series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series or portions thereof called for redemption, nor
(iii) to register the transfer of or exchange a Security of any series between the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(5) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

Section 2.06 Temporary Securities. 

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute temporary Securities (printed, lithographed or
typewritten) of any authorized denomination and the Guarantor may execute the Guarantee endorsed thereon and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. Such temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of the definitive
Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every temporary Security of any series shall be executed by the
Company and the Guarantee endorsed thereon shall be executed by the Guarantor and such Security shall be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities
of such series. Without unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will furnish definitive Securities of such series and the Guarantor will execute the Guarantee endorsed thereon and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may
be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge to the holders, at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 4.02 for the purpose of exchanges of Securities of such series, and the Trustee shall authenticate and such
office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that definitive Securities need not be
executed and furnished until further notice from the Company. Until so exchanged, temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series authenticated
and delivered hereunder. 

  
 25 








 Section 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. 

In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company and the Guarantor, as
applicable, (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute a new Security of the same series and the Guarantee endorsed thereon, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or
in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen, and upon the Company’s written request the Trustee (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall authenticate and deliver, such Security. In every case the
applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish
to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the
written request or authorization of any Officer. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any
other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company, instead of issuing a substitute
Security, may pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may
require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. 

Every replacement Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.07 shall constitute an additional contractual obligation
of the Company and the Guarantor, as applicable, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or
payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. 
 Section 2.08 Cancellation. 

All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer, if surrendered to the Company, the
Guarantor or any paying agent, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the
provisions of this Indenture. On written request of the Company or the Guarantor at the time of such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, canceled Securities held by the Trustee. If the Company or the
Guarantor shall otherwise acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation. 

  
 26 








 Section 2.09 Benefits of Indenture. 

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and the holders of the Securities, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for
the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Securities. 
 Section 2.10 Authenticating Agent. 

So long as any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding, there may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of
Securities which the Trustee shall have the right to appoint. The Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series, including Securities issued upon exchange, registration of transfer
or partial redemption thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. All references in this Indenture to
the authentication of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation that has a combined capital
and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under such laws to
conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately. Any
Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee at any time may, and upon request by the Company shall, terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving
written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to
the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.

 Section 2.11 Global Securities. 

(a) General. If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued as
a Global Security, then the Company shall execute one or more Global Securities and the Guarantor shall execute the Guarantee endorsed thereon that (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of, all of the Outstanding Securities of such series, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and (iii) shall be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary or otherwise delivered pursuant

time shall be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Securities of such series that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream. 

Section 2.12 CUSIP Numbers. 

The Company in issuing the Securities of a series 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 Securityholders; 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. 
 Section 2.13 Securities Denominated in
Foreign Currencies. 
 Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01 for Securities of any series, payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on, Securities of such series denominated in any Foreign Currency will be made in such Foreign Currency. 

In the event any Foreign Currency or Currencies in which any payment with respect to any series of Securities may be made ceases to be a
freely convertible Currency on United States Currency markets, for any date thereafter on which payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of a series is due, the Company shall select the Currency of payment for use on
such date, all as provided in the Securities of such series, in a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto. In such event, the Company shall notify the Trustee of the Currency which it has selected to constitute the funds
necessary to meet the Company’s obligations on such payment date and of the amount of such Currency to be paid. Such amount shall be determined as provided in the Securities of such series, in a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures
supplemental hereto. The payment with respect to such payment date shall be deposited with the Trustee or the applicable paying agent by the Company or the Guarantor solely in the Currency so selected. 

Section 2.14 Wire Transfers. 

Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Indenture, the Company or the Guarantor may make any payment required to be
deposited with the Trustee on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities by any method of wire transfer to an account designated in writing by the Trustee such that funds are available on or before the date such payment
is to be made to the Holders of the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. 

  
 28 








 Section 2.15 Designated Currency. 

The Company may provide pursuant to Section 2.01 for Securities of any series that: 

(a) the obligation, if any, of the Company to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of any series in a Foreign
Currency or Dollars (the “Designated Currency”) as may be specified pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(12) is of the essence and agree that, to the fullest extent possible under applicable law, judgments in respect of Securities of
such series shall be given in the Designated Currency; 
 (b) the obligation of the Company to make payments in the Designated Currency of
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities shall be discharged, notwithstanding any payment in any other Currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), only to the extent of the amount in the Designated Currency that
the Securityholder receiving such payment, in accordance with normal banking procedures, may purchase with the amount paid in such other Currency after any premium and cost of exchange on the business day in the country of issue of the Designated
Currency or in the international banking community immediately following the day on which such Securityholder receives such payment; 
 (c)
if the amount in the Designated Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Company shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to compensate for such shortfall; and 

(d) any obligation of the Company not discharged by such payment shall be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged
as provided herein, shall continue in full force and effect. 
 Section 2.16 Form of Guarantee. 

The form of Guarantee shall be set forth on the applicable series of Securities substantially as follows: 

GUARANTEE 
 For value received,
[    ] hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the holder of this Security the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Security upon which this Guarantee is set forth in the amounts
and at the time when due and payable whether by declaration thereof, or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and interest, if any, of such Security, if lawful, to the holder of such Security and the Trustee on behalf of the Holders, all
in accordance with and subject to the terms and limitations of such Security and Article XIV of the Indenture. This Guarantee will not become effective until the Trustee or Authenticating Agent duly executes the certificate of authentication on this
Security. This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles thereof.

 ARTICLE III 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND PROVISIONS 

Section 3.01 Redemption. 

The Company may redeem the Securities of any series issued hereunder on and after the dates and in accordance with the terms established for
such series pursuant to Section 2.01. 
 Section 3.02 Notice of Redemption. 

(a) If the Company desires to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series, the Company
shall, or shall instruct the Trustee in writing to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 15 days and not more
than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register (unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed). Any notice that is
mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Security of any series
designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities of such series or any other series. In the case of any redemption of Securities
prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with any such
restriction. 
 Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price at which Securities of
that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that: (i) payment of the redemption price of such Securities to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, or, if none, at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, upon presentation and surrender of such Securities; (ii) interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice; (iii) from and after said date interest will cease to accrue;
(iv) the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, and (v) the CUSIP and/or other similar number as contemplated by, and containing the disclaimers and other language contemplated by, Section 2.12. If less than all the
Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Securities of that series to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Securities to be so redeemed. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the
notice that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. 
 (b) If all or less than all the Securities of a series are to be
redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 15 days’ written notice (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) in advance of the date the Company gives notice to the Securityholders


  
 30 








 
of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series to be redeemed. If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee thereupon shall
select from Securities of such series Outstanding not previously called for redemption, in accordance with a method determined by the Company (in such manner as complies with applicable legal and stock exchange requirements, if any) and that may
provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to €1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of such Securities of such series of a denomination larger than €1,000, the Securities of such series to be
redeemed. The Trustee promptly shall notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Securities of such series to be redeemed, in whole or in part. 

The Company, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by any of its Officers, may instruct the
Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Securities of a particular series for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section 3.02, such notice to be in the name of the Company or its own
name, as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the
Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be
required under the provisions of this Section 3.02. 
 Section 3.03 Payment Upon Redemption. 

(a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series
to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, in each case as established
pursuant to Section 2.01. Interest on such Securities or portions of Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest with
respect to any such Security or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, such Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable
redemption price for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption; provided, that, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the
Securityholders of such Securities (or one or more Predecessor Securities) registered as such at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03. 

(b) Upon presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute a new Security of the same
series and tenor of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented, the Guarantor shall execute the Guarantee endorsed thereon and the Trustee shall authenticate, and the office or agency
where the Security is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, such Security; except that if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute a new Global Security of like tenor in a denomination
equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered and, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate requesting authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Depositary for such Global Security, without service charge, such Global Security. 

  
 31 








 Section 3.04 Sinking Fund. 

The provisions of this Section 3.04 and Sections 3.05 and 3.06 shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of
a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of such series. 
 The minimum amount of any
sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is 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
referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05. Each sinking fund
payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. 

Section 3.05 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

The Company (i) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any Securities previously called for redemption) and
(ii) may apply as a credit Securities of a series that 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, provided that such Securities have not
been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund
payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
 Section 3.06 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of the series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the Currency in which the
Securities of such series are denominated (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.01), the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis for
such credit. Together with such Officer’s Certificate, the Company will deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 15 days before each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be
redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.02. Such
notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03. 

  
 32 








 ARTICLE IV 

CERTAIN COVENANTS 
 The
following covenants shall apply to the Securities, except with respect to any series of Securities for which the supplemental indenture or resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company under which such series of Securities is issued or in the
form of Security for such series expressly provides that any such covenant shall not apply to such series of Securities: 

Section 4.01 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. 

The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of a series at
the time and place and in the manner provided herein and established with respect to such Securities. 
 Section 4.02 Maintenance of
Office or Agency. 
 So long as any series of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Company will maintain for such series an office or
agency where Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities of such series and this Indenture may be given or served. Such designation will continue with respect to each office or agency until the Company, by written notice signed by any Officer and delivered to the Trustee, shall designate some
other office or agency for such purposes or any of them. 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 presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. Unless otherwise specified in accordance with
Section 2.01 with respect to a series of Securities, the Company initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., 500 Ross Street, Pittsburgh PA 15262; Attention: Corporate Trust, acting as the
Company’s agent, as the office to be maintained by it for each such purpose. 
 Section 4.03 Paying Agents. 

(a) The Company may appoint one or more paying agents, other than the Trustee, for all or any series of the Securities. If the Company fails to
appoint or maintain another entity as paying agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company, the Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries may act as paying agent. 

(b) The Company shall require each paying agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the paying agent will hold in trust for the
benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all funds held by the paying agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any
such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a paying agent to pay all funds held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a paying agent to pay all funds held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to
the Trustee, the paying agent (including the Company or any of their Subsidiaries serving as the paying agent) shall have no 

  
 33 








 
further liability for the funds. If the Company, the Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries acts as paying agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the
Securityholders all funds held by it as paying agent. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, (i) the
agreement to hold funds in trust as provided in this Section 4.03 is subject to the provisions of Section 11.06, and (ii) the Company or the Guarantor at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge or
defeasance of this Indenture or for any other purpose, may pay, or direct any paying agent to pay, to the Trustee all funds held in trust by the Company or such paying agent, such funds to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions as
those upon which such funds were held by the Company or such paying agent. Upon such payment by any paying agent to the Trustee, such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such funds. 

Section 4.04 Statement by Officers as to Default. 

So long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year
of the Company ending after the date hereof, a brief certificate (which need not comply with Section 13.06) executed by the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Company on its behalf as to his or her knowledge of the
Company’s compliance with all covenants and agreements under this Indenture required to be complied with by the Company (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this
Indenture). Such certificate need not include a reference to any non-compliance that has been fully cured prior to the date as of which such certificate speaks. 

The Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee within 20 days after becoming aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default under
Section 6.01. 
 Section 4.05 Appointment to Fill Vacancy in Office of Trustee. 

The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or to fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in
Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall be at all times a Trustee hereunder. 
 Section 4.06 Existence. 

Subject to Article X and Article XIV, each of the Company and the Guarantor will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect its existence. 
 Section 4.07 Limitations on Liens. 

The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to become effective any Lien
(other than Permitted Liens) on any Principal Property or upon shares of stock of any Principal Subsidiary (whether such Principal Property or shares are now existing or owned or hereafter created or acquired), to secure any indebtedness of the
Guarantor, any of its Subsidiaries or any indebtedness of any other Person, unless the Guarantor or such Subsidiary also secures all payments due under all Securities (and the related Guarantee) of any series having the benefit of this Section
(together with, if the Guarantor shall so 

  
 34 








 
determine, any other indebtedness of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Guarantor then existing or thereafter created ranking equally with the Securities, the Guarantee or such Subsidiary
indebtedness), on an equal and ratable basis with such other indebtedness so secured (or, in the case of indebtedness subordinated to the Securities, the Guarantee or the Subsidiary indebtedness, prior or senior thereto, with the same relative
priority as the Securities, the Guarantee or the Subsidiary indebtedness will have with respect to such subordinated indebtedness) for so long as such other indebtedness shall be so secured. The foregoing prohibition shall not apply to any of the
following Liens (“Permitted Liens”): 
 (a) Liens existing on the date when the Company first issues Securities pursuant to
this Indenture; 
 (b) Liens on property owned or leased by a Person existing at the time such Person is merged with or into or consolidated
with the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or the Guarantor or one or more of its Subsidiaries acquires directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the stock or assets of such Person; provided that such Liens were in existence prior to the
contemplation of such merger, consolidation or acquisition and do not extend to any assets other than those of the Person merged into, consolidated with or acquired by the Guarantor or such Subsidiary; 

(c) Liens on property existing at the time of acquisition thereof by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that such Liens were
in existence prior to the contemplation of such acquisition and do not extend to any property other than the property so acquired by the Guarantor or such Subsidiary; 

(d) Liens to secure indebtedness incurred prior to, at the time of or within 18 months after the later of the acquisition of any property and
the completion of the construction, alteration, repair or improvement of any property, as the case may be, for the purpose of financing all or a part of the purchase price thereof or cost of the construction, alteration, repair or improvement
thereof and Liens to the extent they secure indebtedness in excess of such purchase price or cost and for the payment of which recourse may be had only against such property; 

(e) Liens in favor of the United States or any state, territory or possession thereof (or the District of Columbia), or any department,
agency, instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States or any state, territory or possession thereof (or the District of Columbia), to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to
secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such Liens; 

(f) any Lien securing indebtedness of a Subsidiary of the Guarantor owing to the Guarantor or to one or more of its Subsidiaries; 

(g) Liens incurred or assumed in connection with the issuance of revenue bonds the interest on which is exempt from federal taxation pursuant
to Section 103 of the Code; 
 (h) Liens created, incurred or assumed in connection with an industrial revenue bond, pollution control
bond or similar financing between the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries and any federal, state or municipal government or other government body or quasi-governmental agency; 

  
 35 








 (i) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in
whole or in part of any Lien referred to in clauses (a) through (h) above, inclusive, so long as (1) the principal amount of the indebtedness secured thereby does not exceed the principal amount of indebtedness so secured at the time
of the extension, renewal or replacement (except that, where an additional principal amount of indebtedness is incurred to provide funds for the completion of a specific project, the additional principal amount, and any related financing costs, may
be secured by the Lien as well) and (2) the Lien is limited to the same property subject to the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (and improvements on the property); and 

(j) any Lien on a Principal Property or the shares of stock of a Principal Subsidiary that would not otherwise be permitted by clauses
(a) through (i) above, inclusive, securing indebtedness which, together with: 
 (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of all other indebtedness of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries secured by Liens on a Principal Property or the shares of stock of a Principal Subsidiary that is permitted solely pursuant to this clause (j), and 

(ii) the aggregate Value of existing Sale and Leaseback Transactions that are permitted solely pursuant to clause (c) of
Section 4.08 and are still in existence, 
 does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Assets. 

Section 4.08 Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. 

The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any
Principal Property unless: 
 (a) the Guarantor or such Subsidiary could incur indebtedness, in a principal amount at least equal to the
Value of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, secured by a Lien on the Principal Property to be leased (without equally and ratably securing debt securities of any series having the benefit of this covenant, including the any series of Securities)
pursuant to clauses (a) through (i) under Section 4.07 above; 
 (b) the Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Guarantor
applies, during the six months following the effective date of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, an amount equal to the Value of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction to either (or a combination of) the voluntary retirement of Funded Debt or to the
acquisition of property; or 
 (c) the aggregate Value of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction plus the Value of all other Sale and Leaseback
Transactions of Principal Properties, entered into after the date the Company first issues Securities under this Indenture, permitted solely by this clause (c) and still in existence, plus the aggregate outstanding amount of all indebtedness
secured by Liens permitted solely by clause (j) of Section 4.07 above does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Assets. 
 Section
4.09 Business Activities. 
 The Company will not engage in any activities or take any action that would be inconsistent with the
definition of “finance subsidiary” within the meaning of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.

made, waived or extended within 30 days or (B) acceleration of the maturity of any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or the Guarantor or for which the Company or the Guarantor has guaranteed the payment, in an aggregate principal
amount of at least $150,000,000, if such indebtedness has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled within 30 days; provided, however, that, if the default under the


  
 38 








 
instrument is cured by the Company or the Guarantor, or waived by the holders of the indebtedness, in each case as permitted by the governing instrument, then the Event of Default under this
Indenture caused by such default will be deemed likewise to be cured or waived; 
 (5) the entry by a court having competent jurisdiction
of: 
 (A) an order for relief in respect of the Company or the Guarantor in an involuntary proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law and such
order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or 
 (B) a final and non-appealable order appointing a
Custodian, of the Company or the Guarantor, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Company or the Guarantor, and such order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; 

(6) the commencement by the Company or the Guarantor of a voluntary proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or the consent by the Company or the
Guarantor to the entry of a decree or order for relief in an involuntary proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or the filing by the Company or the Guarantor of a consent to an order for relief in any involuntary proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or
to the appointment of a Custodian or the making by the Company or the Guarantor of an assignment for the benefit of creditors; 
 (7) the
Guarantee of such Securities is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment to be unenforceable or invalid or such Guarantee is asserted in writing by the Company or the Guarantor to no longer be in full force and effect and enforceable in
accordance with its terms; or 
 (8) any other Event of Default provided in the supplemental indenture or resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company under which such series of Securities is issued or in the form of Security for such series. 
 (b) In each and
every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(5) or 6.01(a)(6)), unless the principal of all the Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less
than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company and the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the unpaid principal of all
the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(5) or 6.01(a)(6) occurs, the
principal amount of all the Securities shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. 

(c) At any time after the principal of the Securities of that series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or
decree for the payment of the amount due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the
Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (i) the Company has or has caused to be paid or deposited with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay 

  
 39 








 
all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of that series and the principal of and premium, if any, on any and all Securities of that series that shall have become due otherwise
than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate expressed in the Securities of that series to
the date of such payment or deposit), and (ii) any and all Events of Default under this Indenture with respect to such series, other than the nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on Securities of that series that shall
have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06. 
 No such
rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 (d) In case the
Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to Securities of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall
have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder,
and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. 

(e) The Trustee shall give to the Securityholders of any series, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Security Register,
notice of all defaults known to the Trustee that have occurred with respect to such series, such notice to be transmitted within 90 days after the occurrence thereof, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the
term “default” or “defaults” for the purposes of this Section 6.01(e) being hereby defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default); provided that,
except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of such series, or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series, the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers in good faith determines that the withholding of such
notice is in the interests of the Securityholders of such series. 
 Section 6.02 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for
Enforcement by Trustee. 
 (a) The Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally covenant that (i) in case a default in the
payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of a series, or a default in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series as and when the same shall have become due and payable, occurs
and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days, or (ii) in case a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, on any of the Securities of a series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon
maturity of the Securities of a series or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, occurs, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company or the Guarantor will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that
series, the whole amount that then shall have been become due and payable on all such Securities for principal, 

  
 40 








 
premium, if any, or interest, or both, with interest upon the overdue principal, premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon
overdue installments of interest at the rate expressed in the Securities of that series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under
Section 7.06. 
 (b) If the Company or the Guarantor shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the amounts so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or
final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or the Guarantor and collect the amounts adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, wherever situated. 

(c) In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial
proceedings affecting the Company, the Guarantor or their respective creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted by the court and, except as otherwise
provided by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Securities of such series allowed for the entire amount
due and payable by the Company or the Guarantor under this Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Company or the Guarantor after such date, and to collect and
receive any funds or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same in accordance with Section 6.03. Any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the
holders of Securities of such series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under
Section 7.06. 
 (d) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms established with
respect to Securities of that series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto. Any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee
shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.06, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities
of such series. 
 In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee in its discretion may proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it
by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any
covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 

  
 41 








 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of that series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the
claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.03 Application of Funds Collected. 

Any funds collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI with respect to a particular series of Securities shall be applied in the
following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such funds on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation of the Securities of that series, and notation thereon the payment, if
only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection and of all
amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; 
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon Securities of such
series for principal, premium, if any, and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such funds have been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for
principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 
 THIRD: To the Company or the Guarantor, as their interests may appear. 

Section 6.04 Limitation on Suits. 

No holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit,
action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (i) such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee
written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default; (ii) the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such
series then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder; (iii) such holder or holders shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity
as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby; (iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit
or proceeding; and (v) during such 60 day period, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any other provisions of this Indenture, the right of any holder of any Security to
receive payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on such Security, as therein provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder. By 

  
 42 








 
accepting a Security hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security of such series with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee,
that no one or more holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such
Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of
Securities of such series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6.04, each Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 

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

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article VI to the Trustee or to the
Securityholders, to the extent permitted by law, shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the
performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Securities. 

(b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of
Default occurring and continuing shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or on acquiescence therein. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article
VI or by law to the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders. 

Section 6.06 Control by Securityholders. 

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with
Section 8.04, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such series; provided,
however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of Securities of any other series at the time Outstanding determined in accordance with
Section 8.04. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith, by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, shall
determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance
with Section 8.04, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of such series, may rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default with respect to such series and
its consequences, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except (i) a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Securities of that series; or (ii) in respect of a
covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. Upon any such 

  
 43 








 
waiver, the default covered thereby shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the
Guarantor, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent
thereon. 
 Section 6.07 Undertaking to Pay Costs. 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Securities by such holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed,
that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees 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 6.07 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders,
holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security of
such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this Indenture. 
 Section 6.08
Waiver of Usury, Stay Or Extension Laws. 
 Each of the Company and the Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or
the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Company and the Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law,
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 VII 
 CONCERNING
THE TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. 

(a) In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (that has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall
exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of his or her own affairs. 

  
 44 








 (b) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for
its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) prior to the occurrence of
an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to that series that may have occurred: 

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of such series be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the Securities of such series except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or
not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical computations or other facts stated therein); 

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

(4) none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms
of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it. 
 Section 7.02 Certain Rights of
Trustee. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01: 

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties. 

  
 45 








 (b) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company or the Guarantor mentioned herein
shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the name of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, by an Officer (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein). 

(c) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(d) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or
direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred
therein or thereby. 
 (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed by
it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture, provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence. 

(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other papers or documents, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry into such matters as it may see fit, and if the Trustee shall
determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times to examine the books, records and premises of the Company or the Guarantor, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole
cost of the Company or the Guarantor and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any 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. 

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

(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including 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. 

(j) The Trustee may request that the Company or the Guarantor deliver an Officer’s 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 Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as
so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 

  
 46 








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

Section 7.03 Trustee not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 

(a) The recitals contained herein and in the Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Guarantor, as the case may be,
and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. 
 (b) The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. 
 (c) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company or
the Guarantor of any of the Securities or of the proceeds of such Securities, or for the use or application of any funds paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or established pursuant to Section 2.01, or for
the use or application of any funds received by any paying agent other than the Trustee. 
 Section 7.04 May Hold
Securities. 
 The Trustee or any paying agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar. However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.09 and 7.13. 

Section 7.05 Funds Held in Trust. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 11.06, all funds received by the Trustee, until used or applied as herein provided, shall be held in
trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any funds received by it hereunder except such as it may
agree with the Company or the Guarantor to pay thereon. 
 Section 7.06 Compensation and Reimbursement. 

(a) The Company, and if the Company fails to do so, the Guarantor, shall pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be paid, such
compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), as the Company and the Trustee from time to time may agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the execution
of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all
reasonable expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this 

  
 47 








 
Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense or disbursement as shall
have been caused by its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company, and if the Company fails to do so, the Guarantor, shall indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and shall hold it harmless
against, any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantor, any Holder or any
other Person). The Trustee shall notify the Company and the Guarantor promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee so to notify the Company and the Guarantor shall not relieve the Company or the Guarantor of its
obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Company or the Guarantor has been prejudiced by such failure. The Company or the Guarantor shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate, to the extent reasonable, in the defense of any
such claim, and, if (in the opinion of counsel to the Trustee) the facts and/or issues surrounding the claim are reasonably likely to create a conflict with the Company or the Guarantor, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel to the Trustee. Neither the Company nor the Guarantor need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful
misconduct, negligence or bad faith. Neither the Company nor the Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

(b) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Section 7.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or
reimburse the Trustee for expenses and disbursements shall: (i) be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders
of particular Securities; and (ii) survive the termination of this Indenture and resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 (c) When the
Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default, 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. 
 Section 7.07 Reliance on
Officer’s Certificate. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of
this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
specifically prescribed), in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. 

  
 48 








 Section 7.08 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 

If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act,
the Trustee and the Company and the Guarantor shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 

Section 7.09 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Securities issued hereunder which shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.09 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. None of the Company, the Guarantor, nor any Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor may, serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10. 

Section 7.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

(a) The Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving
written notice thereof to the Company and the Guarantor, no later than 30 days prior to the proposed date of resignation, and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders of such series, as their
names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company or the Guarantor promptly shall appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series. If no successor trustee shall have
been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns, the retiring Trustee, at the expense of the Company, or the Company or the Guarantor may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series, or any Securityholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. 

(b) In case at any time any one of the following shall occur, the Company or the Guarantor, upon 30 days prior written notice to the Trustee,
may remove the Trustee with respect to all or any series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee, or, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided herein, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or
Securities for at least six months, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the 

  
 49 








 
appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee: 

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company, the Guarantor or
by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or 
 (2) the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company, the Guarantor or by any such Securityholder; or 

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy
proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation. 
 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 petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding at any time may remove the
Trustee with respect to such series upon 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor and may appoint a successor Trustee for such series with the consent of the Company and the Guarantor. 

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant to
any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11. 

(e) Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 7.10 may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more series
or all of such series, and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series. 

Section 7.11 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, the Guarantor 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. On the request of the Company, the Guarantor or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of
its charges, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and funds held by
such retiring Trustee hereunder. 

  
 50 








 (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 Guarantor, 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 (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates, (ii) 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 (iii) shall add to or change any of the
provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such
Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible for
any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder. 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 such
retiring Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and
obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture. 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. On request of the Company, the Guarantor or any successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee, to
the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and funds 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 or the Guarantor may 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 Section 7.11 (a) or (b), 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 VII. 
 (e) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.11, the
successor trustee shall cause a notice of its succession to be transmitted to Securityholders. 
 Section 7.12 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 of the 

  
 51 








 
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible
under the provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any Securities shall have been
authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if
such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
 Section 7.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the
Company. 
 The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship described
in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent included therein. 

ARTICLE VIII 

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS 

Section 8.01 Evidence of Action by Securityholders. 

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of a particular series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of
such majority or specified percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of Securities of that series in Person or by agent or proxy appointed
in writing. 
 The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any
series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided,
however, that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record
date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such
record date; provided, however, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any 

  
 52 








 
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be
given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 13.03. 

The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to
join in the giving or making of (i) any notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 6.01, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 6.04 or (iv) any direction
referred to in Section 6.06, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, however, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a
record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render
ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the
Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company and the Guarantor in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the
manner set forth in Section 13.03. 
 With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such
record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided, however, that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new
Expiration Date is given to the other party or parties hereto, as applicable, in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 13.03, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an
Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with
respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 

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

  
 53 








 Section 8.02 Proof of Execution by Securityholders. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder (such proof will not require
notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner: 

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.

 (b) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar
thereof. 
 (c) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall deem necessary. 

Section 8.03 Who May be Deemed Owners. 

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, any paying agent and any
Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of
ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.03) interest on such Security and for all other
purposes; and none of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

None of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, any paying agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any
aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 

Section 8.04 Certain Securities Owned by Company or Guarantor Disregarded. 

In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities of a particular series have concurred in any
direction, consent of waiver under this Indenture, the Securities of that series that are owned by the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities of that series or by an Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor shall be
disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Securities of such
series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish
to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not an Affiliate. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall
be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Securities of a particular series, if any known by the Company to be owned or
held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons and, subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact
that all Securities of such particular series not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. 

  
 54 








 Section 8.05 Actions Binding on Future Securityholders. 

At any time prior to the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the
majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Security of that series that is shown by the evidence to be included in the
Securities the holders of which have consented to such action, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, may revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid, any
such action taken by the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in
place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified
in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the holders of all the Securities of that series. 

ARTICLE IX

 57

(C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article XI. Sections 7.06 and 11.06 shall survive to such date and thereafter, and the Trustee, on demand of the Company or the Guarantor and at
the cost and expense of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to such series. 

Section 11.03 Defeasance and Discharge of Obligations; Covenant Defeasance. 

(a) If at any time: 
 (i) all
such Securities of a particular series not heretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that have not become due and payable as described in Section 11.02 

  
 60 








 
shall have been paid by the Company or the Guarantor by depositing irrevocably with the Trustee in trust funds or an amount of U.S. Governmental Obligations (or Foreign Governmental Obligations,
in the case of Securities denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars) sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all such Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal, premium,
if any, and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case may be, and 
 (ii) the
Company or the Guarantor shall also pay or cause to be paid all other amounts payable hereunder by the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, with respect to such series, 

then, after the date such funds, U.S. Governmental Obligations or Foreign Governmental Obligations, as the case may be, are deposited with the Trustee, the
obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Indenture with respect to such series shall cease to be of further effect except, to the extent applicable to each, for the following provisions that shall survive until such Securities shall
mature and be paid: (A) the rights of Holders of Securities of such series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 11.03(c) and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any
premium and interest on such Securities when due, (B) the Company’s and the Guarantor’s respective obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.07, 4.02, 4.03, 7.05 and 7.10 hereof, (C) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article XI. Thereafter, Sections 7.06 and 11.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 

(b) In addition, each of the Company and the Guarantor, at its option and at any time, by written notice executed by an Officer delivered to
the Trustee, may elect to have its obligations, to the extent applicable to each, under Sections 4.07, 4.08 and 5.03 and any covenant contained in Articles X and XV, and any other covenant contained in the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture
relating to such series pursuant to Section 2.01, discharged with respect to all Outstanding Securities of a series, this Indenture and any indentures supplemental to this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (“covenant
defeasance”), such discharge to be effective on the date the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 11.03(c) are satisfied, and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not
“Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration of Securityholders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be “Outstanding” for all other
purposes under this Indenture. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of a series, the Company and the Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term,
condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other
document and such omission to comply shall not constitute an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(3) or otherwise, nor shall there be thereafter any event constituting an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(4), but except as specified
in this Section 11.03(b), the remainder of the Company’s and the Guarantor’s respective obligations under the Securities of such series, this Indenture, and any indentures supplemental to this Indenture with respect to such series
shall be unaffected thereby. 

  
 61 








 (c) The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 11.03 to the
Outstanding Securities of the applicable series: 
 (i) the Company or the Guarantor irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee or, at
the option of the Trustee, with a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company and the Guarantor under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, cash or U.S. Governmental Obligations (or
Foreign Governmental Obligations, in the case of Securities denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars) that will generate cash sufficient to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Outstanding Securities of such series to
maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and to pay all other amounts payable by it hereunder, provided that (A) the trustee of the irrevocable trust shall have been irrevocably instructed to pay such funds or the proceeds of such U.S.
Governmental Obligations or the proceeds of such Foreign Governmental Obligations to the Trustee and (B) the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such funds or the proceeds of such U.S. Governmental Obligations or the
proceeds of such Foreign Governmental Obligations to the payment of said principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Securities of such series; 

(ii) the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent
specified herein relating to defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel to the same effect; 

(iii) no Event of Default under clauses (1), (2), (5), (6) or (7) of Section 6.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing,
and no event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become such an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on the date of such deposit; 

(iv) in the event of an election under Section 11.03(a), the Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel stating that (A) the Company or the Guarantor has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal
income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit,
defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge were not
to occur; 
 (v) in the event of an election under Section 11.03(b), the Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and covenant defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance were not to occur; and 

(vi) notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 11.03, such covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any
additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company or the Guarantor pursuant to Section 2.01. 

  
 62 








 After such irrevocable deposit made pursuant to this Section 11.03 and satisfaction of the
other conditions set forth herein, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s and the Guarantor’s obligations pursuant to this Section 11.03. 

Section 11.04 Deposited Funds to be Held in Trust. 

All funds, U.S. Governmental Obligations or Foreign Governmental Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 11.02 or 11.03
shall be held in trust and shall be available for payment as due, either directly or through any paying agent (including the Company or the Guarantor acting as its own paying agent), to the holders of the particular series of Securities for the
payment or redemption of which such funds, U.S. Governmental Obligations or Foreign Governmental Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee. 

Section 11.05 Payment of Funds Held by Paying Agents. 

In connection with the provisions of Section 11.02 or 11.03, all funds, U.S. Governmental Obligations or Foreign Governmental Obligations
then held by any paying agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon demand of the Company or the Guarantor, be paid to the Trustee and thereupon such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such funds,
U.S. Governmental Obligations or Foreign Governmental Obligations. 
 Section 11.06 Repayment to the Company or the Guarantor.

 Any funds, U.S. Governmental Obligations or Foreign Governmental Obligations deposited with any paying agent or the Trustee, or then held
by the Company or the Guarantor, in trust for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of a particular series that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the holders of such Securities for at least one year after the
date upon which the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Securities shall have respectively become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, or if then held by the Company or the Guarantor shall
be discharged from such trust; and thereafter, the paying agent and the Trustee shall be released from all further liability with respect to such funds, U.S. Governmental Obligations or Foreign Governmental Obligations, and the holder of any of the
Securities entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, for the payment thereof. Anything in this Article XI to the contrary notwithstanding, subject
to Section 7.06, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company or the Guarantor from time to time upon request by the Company or the Guarantor any funds, U.S. Governmental Obligations or Foreign Governmental Obligations (or other property and
any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Sections 11.02 or 11.03 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of
the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, in accordance with this Article XI. 

  
 63 








 Section 11.07 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or paying agent is unable to apply any funds, U.S. Governmental Obligations or Foreign Governmental Obligations in accordance
with Section 11.02 or 11.03 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and the
Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, any indentures supplemental to this Indenture with respect to the applicable series of Securities and the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 11.02 or 11.03, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or paying agent is permitted to apply all such funds, U.S. Governmental Obligations or Foreign Governmental Obligations in accordance with Section 11.02
or 11.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that if the Company or the Guarantor has made any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Securities of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations as aforesaid, the
Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Securities of such series to receive such payment from the funds, U.S. Governmental Obligations or Foreign Governmental Obligations held by the Trustee
or paying agent.

 ARTICLE XIV 

GUARANTEE OF SECURITIES 

Section 14.01 Guarantee. 

(a) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns
(1) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Securities, whether for
payment of principal of, or interest on or premium, if any, on, the Securities and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities and (2) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods
of all other obligations of the Company whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The
Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from the Guarantor, and that the Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article notwithstanding any extension
or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. The Notation of Guarantee shall be substantially as set forth in Section 2.16 hereof. 
 (b)
The Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the
Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by (1) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or
modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (4) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of
any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, (6) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or
other similar proceeding affecting the 

  
 69 








 
Company or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Company contained in this Indenture or any Security; (7) the existence of any claim, set-off or other
rights that the Guarantor may have at any time against the Company, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with this Indenture or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim
by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; (8) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company for any reason of this Indenture or any Security, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the
payment by the Company of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security or any other amount payable by the Company under this Indenture; or (9) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, the Trustee
or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 14.01(b), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder (other than payment in
full). 
 (c) The Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company first be used and depleted
as payment of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by the Guarantor hereunder. The Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Company
be sued prior to an action being initiated against the Guarantor. 
 (d) The Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes
a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

(e) Except as expressly set forth in this Indenture, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of
the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the
failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or
otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a
discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than payment in full). 
 (f) Except as expressly set forth in this
Indenture, the Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or
otherwise. 

  
 70 








 (g) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or
the Trustee has at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,
by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, the Guarantor, hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the
Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (1) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (2) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (3) all other
monetary obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee. 
 (h) The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of
any series of Securities and the Trustee against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holders and the Trustee by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantee; provided that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to any right
of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the
Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of the Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in this Indenture, the Guaranteed Obligations (whether
or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 14.01. 
 (i) The
Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 14.01. 

(j) Upon request of the Trustee, the Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be
reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 
 Section 14.02 Consolidation, Merger,
Conveyance, Transfer or Lease.  
 The Guarantor shall not consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Guarantor or the Guarantor’s Subsidiaries taken as a whole (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) to, any Person or permit any Person to merge
with or into it unless: 
 (a) The Guarantor shall be the continuing Person, or the Person (if other than the Guarantor) formed by such
consolidation or into which the Guarantor is merged or that acquired or leased such property and assets, shall be a Person validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any jurisdiction thereof, or a jurisdiction outside the
United States, and shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all of the Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities; 

  
 71 








 (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (c) the Guarantor delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, in
each case stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture complies with this Section 14.02 and that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to such transaction have been complied with. 

To the extent that a Board Resolution or supplemental indenture pertaining to any series provides for different provisions relating to the
subject matter of this Article XIV, the provisions in such Board Resolution or supplemental indenture shall govern for purposes of such series. 

Section 14.03 Successor Substituted; No Waiver; Modification; Non-Impairment. 

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property and
assets of the Guarantor in accordance with Section 14.02 of this Indenture, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Guarantor is merged or to which such sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition is made
shall succeed to and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Guarantor under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Guarantor; provided that the Guarantor shall not be
released from its obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of its property and assets. 

The failure to endorse a Guarantee on any Security shall not affect or impair the validity thereof. 

Section 14.04 Assumption by Guarantor.  

The Guarantor may, without the consent of the Trustee or the Holders, assume all of the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder with
respect to a series of Securities if, after giving effect to such assumption, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

The Guarantor shall assume all of the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder with respect to a series of Securities if, upon a
default by the Company in the due and punctual payment of the principal, sinking fund payment, if any, any premium or interest on such Securities, the Guarantor is prevented by any court order or judicial proceeding from fulfilling its obligations
under the Guarantee with respect to such series of Securities. Such assumption shall result in the Securities of such series becoming the direct obligations of the Guarantor and shall be effected without the consent of the Holders of the Securities
of any series or the Trustee. 
 Upon any such assumption by the Guarantor pursuant to this Section 14.04, the Guarantor shall execute
a supplemental indenture evidencing its assumption of all such rights and obligations of the Company, and the Company shall be released from its liabilities hereunder and under such Securities as obligor on the Securities of such series.

 ARTICLE XV 

ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS; CERTAIN TAX PROVISIONS 

Section 15.01 Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes. 

Unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.01, the Securities of any series may be redeemed, as a whole but not in part, at the
option of the Company, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice (which notice shall be irrevocable), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date
and Additional Amounts (as defined in Section 15.02), if any, if as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws, regulations, rulings or treaties of The Netherlands, the United States or other jurisdiction in which the Company or the
Guarantor or, in each case, any successor thereof (including a continuing Person formed by a consolidation with the Company or Guarantor, into which the Company or Guarantor is merged, or that acquires or leases all or substantially all of the
property and assets of the Company or Guarantor) may be organized, as applicable, or any political subdivision thereof or therein having the power to tax (a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), or any change in the application or official
interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties, including any action taken by, or change in the published administrative practice of, a taxing authority or a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction (regardless of whether such
action, change or holding is with respect to the Company or the Guarantor), which amendment or change is announced or becomes effective on or after the date the Securities of such series are issued, the Company or the Guarantor has become, or there
is a material probability that it will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Securities of such series, and such obligation cannot be avoided by the use of commercially
reasonable measures available to the Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, not including substitution of the obligor on the Securities; provided, however, that no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest
date on which the Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, would be obligated, or there is a material probability the Company or Guarantor would otherwise be obligated, to pay such Additional Amount. Prior to the publication or, where relevant,
mailing (and/or to the extent permitted by applicable procedures or regulations, electronic delivery) of any notice of redemption described in this paragraph, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (i)(A) an Officer’s Certificate of the
Company stating that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the Company taking commercially reasonable measures available to it or (B) an Officer’s Certificate of the Guarantor stating that the obligation to pay
Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by such Guarantor taking commercially reasonable measures available to it, as the case may be, as described above, and (ii) a written opinion of independent tax counsel to the Company or the Guarantor, as
the case may be, of recognized standing to the effect that the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, has or there is a material probability that it will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, official
interpretation or application described above and that the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, cannot avoid the payment of such Additional Amounts by taking commercially reasonable measures available to it as described above. 

Section 15.02 Payment of Additional Amounts. 

All payments made by the Company or the Guarantor under or with respect to the Securities and any Guarantee will be made free and clear of and
without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or 

  
 73 








 
governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction (“Taxes”), unless the Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, is required
to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In the event that the Company or Guarantor is required to so withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes from any payment made under or with
respect to the Securities or the Guarantee, as the case may be, the Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each holder
of Securities (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the amount that such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be
payable with respect to a payment to a holder of Securities or a holder of beneficial interests in Global Securities where such holder is subject to taxation on such payment by a relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for any reason other than such
holder’s mere ownership of the Securities or for or on account of: 
 (a) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld solely because such
holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such holder holds such Securities) or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or other equity owner of, or possessor of a power over, such holder (or beneficial owner) if such holder
(or beneficial owner) is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity: 
 (1) is or was present or
engaged in, or is or was treated as present or engaged in, a trade or business in the Taxing Jurisdiction or has or had a permanent establishment in the Taxing Jurisdiction (in each case, other than the mere fact of ownership of such Securities,
without another presence or business in such Taxing Jurisdiction); 
 (2) has or had any present or former connection (other than the mere
fact of ownership of such Securities) with the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes, including being or having been a national citizen or resident thereof, being treated as being or having been a resident thereof or being or having been
physically present therein; 
 (3) with respect to any withholding Taxes imposed by the United States, is or was with respect to the United
States a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company, a controlled foreign corporation, a foreign private foundation or other foreign tax exempt organization or corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States
federal income tax; 
 (4) actually or constructively owns or owned 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock
of the Company or Guarantor within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of the Code; or 
 (5) is or was a bank receiving payments on an
extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3) of the Code. 

(b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise, personal property or similar Taxes imposed with respect to the Securities, except
as otherwise provided herein; 
 (c) any Taxes imposed solely as a result of the presentation of such Securities (where presentation is
required) for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which 

  
 74 








 
such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or holder thereof would have been
entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts had the Securities been presented for payment on any date during such 15-day period; 
 (d)
any Taxes imposed or withheld solely as a result of the failure of such holder or any other person to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or
connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction of such holder, if such compliance is required by statute, regulation, ruling or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or by any applicable tax treaty to which the relevant Taxing
Jurisdiction is a party as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Taxes; 
 (e) with respect to withholding Taxes imposed by the
United States, any such Taxes imposed by reason of the failure of such holder to fulfill the statement requirements of sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code; 

(f) any Taxes that are payable by any method other than withholding or deduction by the Company or a Guarantor or any paying agent from
payments in respect of such Securities; 
 (g) any Taxes required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment in respect of any
Securities if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent; 
 (h) any withholding or deduction for
Taxes which would not have been imposed if the relevant Securities had been presented to another paying agent in a country that is a member of the European Union as of the date of this Indenture; 

(i) any withholding or deduction required pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder,
official interpretations thereof, any intergovernmental agreement, or any law, rule, guidance or administrative practice implementing an intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with such sections of the Code or; 

(j) any combination of Section 15.02(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) or (i). 

Additional Amounts also will not be payable to any Holder or the holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security that is a fiduciary,
partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, or to such holder that is not the sole Holder or holder of such beneficial interests of such Security, as the case may be. This exception, however, will apply only to the
extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional
Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment. 

The Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, will also (i) make such withholding or deduction of Taxes and (ii) remit the full
amount of Taxes so deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with all applicable laws. The Company or Guarantor, as 

  
 75 








 
applicable, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Taxing Authority imposing
such Taxes. The Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, will, upon request, make available to the holders of the Securities, within 90 days after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law,
certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company or Guarantor or if, notwithstanding the Company’s or applicable Guarantor’s efforts to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, other evidence of such
payments by the Company or Guarantor. 
 At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Securities or
the Guarantee is due and payable, if the Company or a Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company or Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such
Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information as is necessary to enable such Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to holders of Securities on the payment date. 

In addition, the Company will pay any stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar taxes and duties, including interest, penalties
and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, payable in The Netherlands or the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the foregoing in respect of the creation, issue, offering, enforcement, redemption or retirement
of the Securities. 
 The provisions of this Article XV shall survive any termination of the discharge of this Indenture and shall apply
mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which the Company or a Guarantor or any successor Person to the Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, is organized or is engaged in business for tax purposes or any political subdivisions or taxing
authority or agency thereof or therein; provided, however, the date on which the Company or Guarantor changes its jurisdiction in which it is organized or such Person becomes a successor to the Company or applicable Guarantor, as the case may be,
shall be substituted for the date on which the series of Securities was issued. 
 Whenever in this Indenture, the Securities or the
Guarantee there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal and premium, if any, redemption price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Security, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment
of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
