Section 1.3 Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. 

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

 (c) Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications,
requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Section 1.4 Acts of Holders. 
 (a) Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of the Outstanding Securities of all series or one or more series, as the case may be, may be embodied in and evidenced by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or
record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as
the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 

(b) The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may be
proved in any manner that the Trustee deems reasonably sufficient. 
 (c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the
Security Register. 
 (d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Securities any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not
earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the
requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of
such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after
the record date, or such earlier date as may be specifically required under the applicable provisions of this Indenture. 
 (e)
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof
or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Security.

 Section 1.5 Notices, etc. to Trustee and Company. Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: 

(1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in
writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; 
 or 

(2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the
Trustee by the Company. 
 Section 1.6 Notice to Holders; Waiver. 

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

Section 1.7 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of
Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

thereby.

express or implied, shall give to any Person (including any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and their successors hereunder), other than the parties hereto, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Indenture. 
 Section 1.11 Governing Law. 

This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York, without regard
to principles of conflicts of laws. This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions. If any provision of this
Indenture expressly modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA that may be so modified or excluded, the Indenture provision so modifying or excluding such provision of the TIA shall be deemed to apply. 

Section 1.12 Legal Holidays. 
 In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security, other than a provision in the Securities of any series established pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of
this Section), payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if
made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or sinking fund payment date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity; provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so paid for the period from and after such Interest Payment
Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.

Any form of Security approved by or pursuant to a Board Resolution must be acceptable as to form to the Trustee, such acceptance to be
evidenced by the Trustee’s authentication of Securities in that form or a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and delivered to the Company.

 Section 2.3 Securities Issuable in Global Form. If Securities of a series
are issuable in global form, as specified and contemplated by Section 3.1, then, notwithstanding clause (8) of Section 3.1 and the provisions of Section 3.2, any such Security in global form shall represent the Outstanding
Securities of such series as shall be specified in such Security, and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series from time to time endorsed thereon, and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding
Securities of such series represented by such Security in global form may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the
amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to

Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement, delivery or redelivery of a
Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 1.2 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel. 
 The provisions of the last sentence of Section 3.3 shall apply to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company
delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 1.2 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of
Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 3.3.

paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent global Security the Person in whose name such Security is
registered in the Security Register.

 Section 3.3 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any Officer. The signature of any Officer on the Securities and coupons may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized Officer and may be imprinted or
otherwise reproduced on the Securities. 
 Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any
time the proper Officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such Offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the
date of such Securities. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company
may deliver Securities of any series, executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall
authenticate and deliver such Securities. If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time and if the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth
procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and determining the terms of particular Securities of such series, such an interest rate, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. In
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be fully
protected in relying upon: 
 (1) an Opinion of Counsel stating: 

(a) that the form or forms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(b) that the terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

(c) that such Securities, when completed by appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights, to general equitable principles and to such other qualifications as such counsel shall conclude do not materially affect the rights of Holders of such Securities; and 

(2) an Officers’ Certificate stating, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of such Certificate, that no Event of Default with
respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1
and of this Section 3.3, if all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.1 or the Company Order, Opinion of
Counsel or Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the preceding paragraph at the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion and certificates, with appropriate modifications to cover such future
issuances, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series. 

  
 15 









 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued
and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.10 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.2 and need not be accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture. 
 Section 3.4 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive
Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global form. 
 Except as otherwise provided by Board Resolution if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency
of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefore a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 
 Section 3.5 Registration, Registration of Transfer and
Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in such
office or in any such office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to collectively as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall
provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust
Office, is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities on such Security Register as herein provided. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security
Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times. 

  
 16 









 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at any office or
agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions. 
 At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount,
containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If any beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent global Security is entitled to exchange such
interest for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the permanent global
Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global Security shall be
surrendered by the Common Depositary or such other depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for
definitive Securities without charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such permanent global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized
denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such permanent global Security to be exchanged; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities to
be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the Security for which exchange is requested may be among those selected for redemption. If a Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global Security after the close of
business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the
opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the
case may be, in respect of such Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such permanent global Security is payable
in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be
valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Security
Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 9.6, 11.7 or 13.5 not involving any transfer.

 The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security if such Security may
be among those selected for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before selection of the Securities to be redeemed under Section 11.3 and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the
relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or
(iii) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security which has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid. 

Section 3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee
or the Company, together with, in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver in exchange therefore a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Security, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by
a protected purchaser (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code), the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series
and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become
or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, 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. 

  
 18 









 Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed,
lost or stolen Security, or shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately
with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and
shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 Section 3.7 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved; Optional Interest Reset. 
 (a) Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1, interest, if any, on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 10.2; provided, however, that each installment of interest, if any, on any Security may at the Company’s option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest,
payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 3.9, to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account maintained by the payee inside the United
States. 
 Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.1, any interest on any Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
registered Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 

(2) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee an amount of money (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series) equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the
Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of
the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
Record Date therefore to be mailed, first-class postage 

  
 19 









 
prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Company shall also provide
notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date on its website. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefore having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted
Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the
following clause (2). 
 (3) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed
payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 (b) The provisions of
this Section 3.7(b) may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 3.1 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 3.1). The interest rate (or the spread or
spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) on any Security of such series may be reset by the Company on the date or dates specified on the face of such Security (each an “Optional Reset Date”). The Company may
exercise such option with respect to such Security by notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to an Optional Reset Date for such Security. Not later than 40 days prior to each Optional Reset Date, the
Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 1.6, to the Holder of any such Security a notice (the “Reset Notice”) indicating whether the Company has elected to reset the interest rate (or the spread or spread
multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable), and if so (i) such new interest rate (or such new spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) and (ii) the provisions, if any, for redemption during the period from such
Optional Reset Date to the next Optional Reset Date or if there is no such next Optional Reset Date, to the Stated Maturity Date of such Security (each such period a “Subsequent Interest Period”), including the date or dates on which or
the period or periods during which and the price or prices at which such redemption may occur during the Subsequent Interest Period. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to the Optional Reset Date, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such
interest rate, if applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice and establish an interest rate (or a spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) that is higher than the interest rate (or the spread or spread
multiplier, if applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice, for the Subsequent Interest Period by causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 1.6, notice of such higher interest rate (or such higher spread or spread
multiplier, if applicable) to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) is reset on
an Optional Reset Date, and with respect to which the Holders of such Securities have not tendered such Securities for repayment (or have validly revoked any such tender) pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, will bear such higher interest rate
(or such higher spread or spread multiplier, if applicable). 

  
 20 









 The Holder of any such Security will have the option to elect repayment by the Company of
the principal of such Security on each Optional Reset Date at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to such Optional Reset Date. In order to obtain repayment on an Optional Reset Date, the Holder must follow the
procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for repayment at the option of Holders except that the period for delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to such Optional Reset Date and except that, if
the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to the Reset Notice, the Holder may, by written notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender or repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before such Optional Reset Date.

 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.5, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon
registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

Section 3.8 Optional Extension of Maturity. The provisions of this Section 3.8 may be made applicable to
any series of Securities pursuant to Section 3.1 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 3.1). The Stated Maturity of any Security of such series may be extended at the option of
the Company for the period or periods specified on the face of such Security (each an “Extension Period”) up to but not beyond the date (the “Final Maturity”) set forth on the face of such Security. The Company may exercise such
option with respect to any Security by notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity of such Security in effect prior to the exercise of such option (the “Original Stated
Maturity”). If the Company exercises such option, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 1.6, to the Holder of such Security not later than 40 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity a notice (the
“Extension Notice”) indicating (i) the election of the Company to extend the Stated Maturity, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the interest rate, if any, applicable to the Extension Period and (iv) the provisions, if
any, for redemption during such Extension Period. Upon the Trustee’s transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Stated Maturity of such Security shall be extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as described in
the next paragraph, such Security will have the same terms as prior to the transmittal of such Extension Notice. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days before the Original Stated Maturity of such Security, the Company may, at its
option, revoke the interest rate provided for in the Extension Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 1.6, notice of such higher interest
rate to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the Stated Maturity is extended will bear such higher interest rate. 

If the Company extends the Stated Maturity of any Security, the Holder will have the option to elect repayment of such Security by the
Company on the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to such date. In order to obtain repayment on the Original Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Stated Maturity thereof, the
Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for repayment at the option of Holders, except that the period for delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to the Original Stated
Maturity and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may by written notice to the Trustee revoke such tender for repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before the
Original Stated Maturity. 

  
 21 









 Section 3.9 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security
for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and
premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.7) interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of
beneficial ownership interests of a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such global Security or impair, as between such depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such global Security, the operation of customary
practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such global Security. 

Section 3.10 Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder,
registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee
for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever,
and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly
cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered
to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. Cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall
be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of stating that such cancelled securities have been disposed of, unless by a Company Order the Company directs their return to it.

 Section 3.11 Computation Of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.1 with respect to Securities of any series, interest, if any, on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 

Section 3.12 Currency And Manner Of Payments In Respect Of Securities. Payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Security of such series will be made in Dollars. 
 Section 3.13 CUSIP
Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use) which numbers shall be given to the Trustee by the Company, and, if so, the Trustee shall indicate the “CUSIP”
numbers of the Securities in notices 

  
 22 









 
of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as
contained in any notice of 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 shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any change in “CUSIP” numbers. 
 ARTICLE FOUR

Company to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.6, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.13 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of
clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.2 and the last paragraph of Section 10.3 shall survive. 
 Section 4.2 Application of Trust Funds. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be held in

Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law.

Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of
Default under Section 5.1 (5) or Section 5.1(6)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the
Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or specified portion thereof shall become immediately due
and payable. 
 In the case of an Event of Default under Section 5.1(5) or Section 5.1(6), which occurs and is
continuing with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, then all unpaid principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all such Outstanding Securities of that series shall become immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any of the Holders of any Securities of such series. 
 At any time after
such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

 (2) all Events
of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 5.13. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if: 
 (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of any series when such interest becomes due and payable and such default
continues for a period of 5 days, or 
 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any
Security of any series at its Maturity; or 
 (3) default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by
the terms of any Security of any series; 
 then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Holders of Securities of such series, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and Additional Amounts and, to the extent that payment of such interest is legally enforceable,
interest upon any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and upon any overdue installments of interest, if any, and Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount
as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under
Section 6.7. 
 If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon
Securities of such series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon Securities of such series, wherever situated. 

  
 26 









 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, of
which the Trustee has knowledge in accordance with Section 6.3(9), the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings
as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other
proper remedy. 
 Section 5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other
obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made
any demand on the Company for the payment of any overdue principal (and premium, if any), interest or any Additional Amounts) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed
Securities, such portion of the principal as may be provided in the terms thereof) (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and any Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may
be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under
Section 6.6) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
 (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder
of 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 the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.7. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder
of a Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such
proceeding. 
 Section 5.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of
action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

  
 27 









 Section 5.6 Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the
Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, or any Additional
Amounts upon presentation of the Securities, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any,
and any Additional Amounts in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, and any Additional Amounts respectively; and 
 THIRD: To the payment of the remainder,
if any, to the Company or any other Person or Persons entitled thereto. 
 Section 5.7 Limitation on Suits.
No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 

(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that
series; 
 (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made
written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding;
and 
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the
Holders of majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series. 
 It being understood and intended that no one or more of
such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.

 Section 5.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and
Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections
3.5 and 3.7) interest, if any, and any Additional Amounts on such Security on the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 5.9 Restoration of Rights and
Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined
adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions
hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the
last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 5.11 Delay or
Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such
Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of
Securities, as the case may be. 
 Section 5.12 Control by Holders of Securities. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that 
 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any
rule of law or with this Indenture, 
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction, and 
 (3) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability
or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities of such series not consenting.

Defaults. Subject to Section 5.2, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default
hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default 

  
 29 









 (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, and any
Additional Amounts on any Security of such series, or 
 (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article
Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such
waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 5.14 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the
Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder of Securities, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of
the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

 Section 5.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. 
 (2) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a
successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 (3) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 
 (ii) the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefore by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its

 then, in any such case, (i) the Company by or pursuant to a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to TIA
Section 315(e), any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees
with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee

 35

Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted
appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to Securities of such series.

Section 6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute
and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 6.7. 
 (b) In case of the appointment
hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an
indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all
Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring
Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by
more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and
apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture 

  
 36 









 
the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee,
such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates. 
 (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 

(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article. 
 Section 6.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. In case any Securities shall not have
been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities, in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the
certificate of authentication of the Trustee. 
 Section 6.13 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At
any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Authenticating Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all
purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company.
Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the
Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and, except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to
Section 3.1, shall at all times be a bank or trust company or corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of the United States, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined
capital and surplus of not less than $1,500,000 and subject to supervision or 

  
 37 









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

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 

An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for
such series and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent
which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in Section 1.6. Any successor
Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor
Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Company agrees to pay to
each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for its services under this Section. 
 If an appointment of any Authenticating Agent with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form: 

This is one of the Securities of the series referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

change any Place of Payment where, any Security or any premium or interest thereon or Additional Amounts with respect thereto is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity
thereof (or, in the case of redemption or repayment at the option of the Holder, on or after the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may be), or adversely affect any right to convert or exchange any Security as may be provided
pursuant to Section 3.1 herein; or (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is

proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
 A supplemental
indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any
indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain

 ARTICLE TEN 
 COVENANTS 

Section 10.1 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of
the Holders of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such
series of Securities and this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any series pursuant to Section 3.1, at the option of the Company, all payments of principal may be paid by check to the registered Holder of the
Security or other person entitled thereto against surrender of such Security. 
 Section 10.2 Maintenance of Office
or Agency. The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where Securities of that series that are convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, as applicable, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect
of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to
maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby
appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

  
 43 









 The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all of such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company
of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission
and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to a series of Securities, the Company hereby designates as Places of Payment
for each series of Securities the office or agency of the Company in [            ], and initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as Paying Agent in such city and as its
agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 Section 10.3 Money for Securities
Payments to be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of any Securities it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any,
or any Additional Amounts on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and any Additional Amounts on Securities of such series so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons
or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, and any Additional Amounts on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum in Dollars sufficient to pay the principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, or any
Additional Amounts so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action
or failure so to act. 
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such
sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums. 

Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by
the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due
and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
payment of such principal, premium or interest on any Security, without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying 

  
 44 









 
Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and
that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

Section 10.4 Additional Amounts. If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts,
the Company will pay to the Holder of a Security of such series Additional Amounts as may be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (or premium,
if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of any series or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms
of such series established pursuant to Section 3.1 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if
applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date
with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of
principal, premium or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents,
if other than the Trustee, with an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal, premium or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of
Securities of that series who are not United States persons without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of the series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such
Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities of that series and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts
required by the terms of such Securities. In the event that the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall not so receive the above-mentioned certificate, then the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall be entitled (i) to assume that no
such withholding or deduction is required with respect to any payment of principal or interest with respect to any Securities of a series until it shall have received a certificate advising otherwise and (ii) to make all payments of principal
and interest with respect to the Securities of a series without withholding or deductions until otherwise advised. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section or in reliance on
the Company’s not furnishing such an Officers’ Certificate. 
 Section 10.5 Statement As To
Compliance. The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year (beginning with the fiscal year ending on [            ] ), an
Officers’ Certificate, stating that (1) a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of the performance under this Indenture has been made under his supervision, and (2) to


  
 45 









 
the best of his knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Indenture throughout such year, or if there has been a default in the fulfillment of
any such obligation, specifying each such default known to him and the nature and status thereof. 
 Section 10.6
Waiver Of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition as specified pursuant to Section 3.1(13) for Securities of any series, in any covenants of the
Company added to Article Ten pursuant to Section 3.1(19) or Section 3.1(15) in connection with Securities of a series, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all
outstanding Securities, by Act of such Holders, waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the
extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

ARTICLE ELEVEN 
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
 Section 11.1 Applicability Of

election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the
case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate
evidencing compliance with such restriction. 
 Section 11.3 Selection By Trustee of Securities To Be
Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of any series issued on the same day with the same terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series issued on such date with the same terms not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for
redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized
denomination for Securities of that series. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if
other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall
relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. 

  
 46 









 Section 11.4 Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be
given in the manner provided in Section 1.6, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 3.1, to each Holder of
Securities to be redeemed, but failure to give such notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the redemption of any other such Security or portion thereof. 
 Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of
Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. 
 All notices of redemption shall state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date, 

(2) the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 11.6, 

(3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption,
the principal amount) of the particular Security or Securities to be redeemed, 
 (4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in
part only, the notice which relates to such Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder will receive, without a charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the
principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, 
 (5) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if
any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 11.6 will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,

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

(8) the CUSIP number of such Security, if any. 
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 

Section 11.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to 10:00 a.m., [    ] time, on any
Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article Twelve, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money in Dollars (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the 

  
 47 









 
Securities of such series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, and any
Additional Amounts with respect to all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. 

Section 11.6 Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the
Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series) together with accrued
interest, if any, (and any Additional Amounts) to the Redemption Date, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities shall if the same were
interest-bearing cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption
Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the
close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7. 
 If any
Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the Redemption Price shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate of interest set forth in such Security or, in the case of an
Original Issue Discount Security, at the Yield to Maturity of such Security. 
 Section 11.7 Securities Redeemed in
Part. Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Article Twelve) shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefore (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge a new Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed
portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. However, if less than all the Securities of any series with differing issue dates, interest rates and stated maturities are to be redeemed, the Company in its sole discretion shall select the
particular Securities to be redeemed and shall notify the Trustee in writing thereof at least 45 days prior to the relevant redemption date. 
 ARTICLE TWELVE 
 SINKING FUNDS 

Section 12.1 Applicability Of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund
for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of such series. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of
such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of any Securities of any series, the cash amount of any mandatory
sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.2. 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 12.2 Satisfaction Of Sinking Fund Payments With

for redemption), and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments
pursuant to the terms of such Securities, as provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that such Securities so delivered or applied as a credit have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for
such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

Section 12.3 Redemption of Securities For Sinking Fund. Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund
payment date for Securities of any series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the
portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting
Securities of that series pursuant to Section 12.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered and credited. If
such Officers’ Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 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 11.3 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 11.4. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 11.6 and 11.7. 

ARTICLE THIRTEEN 
 REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS 
 Section 13.1 Applicability
of Article. Repayment of Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such
series established pursuant to Section 3.1) in accordance with this Article. 
 Section 13.2 Repayment of
Securities. Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at the Repayment Price thereof, together
with interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that on or before the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the
Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the
Repayment Price of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date. 

  
 49 









 Section 13.3 Exercise of Option. Securities of any series subject
to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse of such Securities. To be repaid at the option of the Holder, any Security so providing for such repayment, with the
“Option to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse of such Security duly completed by the Holder (or by the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), must be received by the Company at the Place of Payment therefore specified in the
terms of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 45 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date. If less than the entire
Repayment Price of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of such Security, the portion of the Repayment Price of such Security to be repaid, in increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such series, and the
denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to be issued to the Holder for the portion of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid, must be specified. Any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof
may not be repaid in part if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities of the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as
otherwise may be provided by the terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company. 

Section 13.4 When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and Payable. If Securities of any series
providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be
repaid shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date) such
Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment in accordance with such provisions, the Repayment Price of such Security so to be repaid shall be paid by the Company,
together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date; provided, however, that installments of interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable (but without interest thereon, unless the Company
shall default in the payment thereof) to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7.

 If any Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, the Repayment Price shall, until
paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of interest set forth in such Security or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, at the Yield to Maturity of such Security. 

Section 13.5 Securities Repaid in Part. Upon surrender of any Security which is to be repaid in part only, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination specified
by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid.

 ARTICLE FOURTEEN 

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 14.1 Applicability of Article; Company’s Option To Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. If pursuant to Section 3.1 provision is made for either or both of
(a) defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 14.2, or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 14.3, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the
other provisions of this Article (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any
time, with respect to such Securities elect to have Section 14.2 (if applicable) or Section 14.3 (if applicable) be applied to such Outstanding Securities thereto upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article.

 Section 14.2 Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option
applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities on the date the conditions set forth in Section 14.4 are
satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities which shall thereafter be deemed
to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 14.5 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and
this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 14.4 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.5, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.3 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on
such Securities as contemplated by Section 10.4, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, including without limitation the right of payments under Section 6.7, and (D) this Article. Subject
to compliance with this Article Fourteen, the Company may exercise its option under this Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 14.3 with respect to such Securities. 

Section 14.3 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this
Section, the Company shall be released from its obligations under any covenant specified with respect to any Outstanding Securities of any series of Securities established pursuant to Section 3.1 on and after the date the conditions set forth
in Section 14.4 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders
(and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with any such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such
Outstanding Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in 

  
 51 









 
any such Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any
such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 5.1(4) or 5.1(7) or otherwise, as the case may be, but,
except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 

Section 14.4 Conditions To Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to
application of Section 14.2 or Section 14.3 to any Outstanding Securities of a series: 
 (a) The Company shall
irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.9 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article Fourteen applicable to it) as trust funds in
trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (1) an amount of money, or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such
Securities which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if
any, on such Securities money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof in an amount, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity
of such principal or installment of principal or interest, and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture and of such Securities. 
 (b) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 
 (c) No Default or Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 5.1(5) and 5.1(6) are concerned, at any time
during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period). 

(d) In the case of an election under Section 14.2, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating
that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in
either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject
to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred. 

  
 52 









 (e) In the case of an election under Section 14.3, the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax
on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred. 
 (f) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance under Section 14.2 or the
covenant defeasance under Section 14.3 (as the case may be) have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that either (i) as a result of a deposit pursuant to subsection (a) above and the related exercise of the
Company’s option under Section 14.2 or Section 14.3 (as the case may be), registration is not required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, by the Company, with respect to the trust funds representing such deposit or
by the trustee for such trust funds or (ii) all necessary registrations under said Act have been effected. 
 (g)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection
therewith pursuant to Section 3.1. 
 Section 14.5 Deposited Money and Government Obligations To Be Held In
Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 3.1) (including the
proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 14.5, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 14.4 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series shall be
held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the
Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 14.4 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities.

 Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time
upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 14.4 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in
a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article. 

  
 53 









 Section 14.6 Reinstatement. 

(a) If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 14.5 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 obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of the
applicable series issued hereunder shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit has occurred pursuant to this Article Fourteen until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in
accordance with Section 14.5. 
 (b) If the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of the
applicable series issued hereunder shall be revived and reinstated in accordance with this Section 14.6, the Company shall be permitted, at its discretion to withdraw all or a portion of the deposits made by the Company pursuant to this Article
Fourteen. 
 (c) If the Company elects not to withdraw any of the deposits made by the Company pursuant to this Article
Fourteen, if and when the Trustee or Paying Agent is later permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 14.5, the rights of the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the Securities
of the applicable series to receive payments from the money or Government Obligations deposited by the Company pursuant to Article Fourteen and held by the Trustee or Paying Agent; provided that if the Company shall have made any payment of
principal or interest on the Securities of any series because of the revival and reinstatement of its obligations, which payment is not sourced from any amounts deposited by the Company pursuant to Article Fourteen (such amount, in the aggregate,
being referred to as the “Company Paid Amount”), the Company shall be permitted, at its discretion, to withdraw all or a portion of the deposits made by the Company pursuant to this Article Fourteen up to the Company Paid Amount.
