prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
 In any case where notice to Holders of Debt 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. Any notice mailed in the manner prescribed by this Indenture shall be deemed to have been
given whether or not received by any particular Holder. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders by mail, then such notification as shall be
made with the approval of the Trustee for such Debt Securities shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice,
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee for such Debt Securities, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of

valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Debt Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein manually executed by the Trustee for such Debt Security or on its behalf pursuant to
Section 6.14, and such certificate upon any Debt Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Debt Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 3.3 and the Company Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities in temporary
or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be

Depositary, unless and until this Debt Security is exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities in definitive form” and such other legend as may be required by the U.S. Depositary.

with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Debt Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Debt
Securities. 
 If temporary Debt Securities of any particular series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Debt Securities of that
series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of such definitive Debt Securities, the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for such definitive Debt Securities and of a like Stated Maturity and with
like terms and provisions upon surrender of the temporary Debt 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 Debt Securities of any particular series, the Company shall execute and (in accordance with a Company Order delivered at or prior to the authentication of the first definitive Debt Security of such series) the Trustee for the Debt
Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of authorized denominations of the same series and of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and provisions.
Until exchanged as hereinabove provided, the temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of the same series and with like terms and conditions
authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 Section 3.5 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

The Company shall keep or cause to be kept for the Debt Securities of each series a register (the register maintained in such office being
herein sometimes referred to as the “Debt Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration, registration of transfer and exchange of Debt Securities.
U.S. Bank National Association is hereby initially appointed “Debt Security Registrar” for such purposes. 
 Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Debt Security of any particular series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee for the Debt Securities of each series shall authenticate
and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Debt Securities of any authorized denominations, and of a like Stated Maturity and of a like series and aggregate principal amount and with like terms and
conditions. 
 Except as set forth below, at the option of the Holder, Debt Securities of any particular series may be exchanged for other
Debt Securities of any authorized denominations, and of a like Stated Maturity and of a like series and aggregate principal amount and with like terms and conditions, upon surrender of the Debt Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency.
Whenever any Debt Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee for such Debt Securities shall authenticate and deliver, the Debt Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

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

  
 - 18 - 








 Every Debt Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if
so required by the Company or the Trustee for such Debt Security) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Debt Security Registrar for such series 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 Debt 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 Debt Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 9.6, 11.3 or 11.7 not involving any transfer. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities in definitive form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Debt Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the U.S. Depositary
for such series to a nominee of such U.S. Depositary or by a nominee of such U.S. Depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such U.S. Depositary or by such U.S. Depositary or any other such nominee to a successor U.S. Depositary for such
series or a nominee of such successor U.S. Depositary. 
 If at any time the U.S. Depositary for the Debt Securities of a series notifies
the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as U.S. Depositary for the Debt Securities of such series or if at any time the U.S. Depositary for Debt Securities of such series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered and in good
standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor U.S. Depositary for the Debt Securities of such series. If a successor U.S. Depositary for the Debt Securities is not appointed by the
Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such
series, will authenticate and deliver, Debt Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global
Security or Securities. 
 The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Debt Securities of any series issued in
the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
definitive Debt Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Debt Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such
series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 
 If the Debt Securities of any series shall have been issued in the form of one
or more Global Securities and if an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of such series 

  
 - 19 - 








 
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company will promptly execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities of
such series, will authenticate and deliver Debt Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global
Security or Securities. 
 The U.S. Depositary for such series of Debt Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Debt
Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms and in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such U.S. Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without charge: 
 (1) to each Person specified by the U.S. Depositary a new Debt
Security or Securities of the same series, of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global
Security; and 
 (2) to the U.S. Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between
the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities delivered to Holders thereof. 

Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Debt Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee.
Definitive Debt Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the U.S. Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its
direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such definitive Debt Securities to the Persons in whose names such Debt Securities are so registered. 

Section 3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Debt Securities. 

If (i) any mutilated Debt Security is surrendered to the Trustee for such Debt Security, or the Company and the Trustee for a Debt
Security receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debt Security, and (ii) there is delivered to the Company, the Debt Security Registrar and such Trustee such security or indemnity as may be reasonably
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 such Trustee that such Debt Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its
request such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security or in exchange for such mutilated Debt Security, a new Debt Security of the same series and in a like principal amount and of a like
Stated Maturity and with like terms and conditions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Debt Security, pay such Debt Security (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated
Debt Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company, the Debt Security 

  
 - 20 - 








 
Registrar and the Trustee for such Debt Security such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them harmless, and in case of destruction, loss or theft,
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and such Trustee and any agent of either of them of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security and the ownership thereof. 

Upon the issuance of any new Debt 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 all fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Debt Security Registrar for such Debt Security) connected therewith. 

Every new Debt Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security or in exchange
for any mutilated Debt Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities of the same series, duly issued hereunder. 

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) the assertion of any Holder of all other rights and
remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities. 
 Section 3.7 Payment
of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
 Interest on any Debt Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any Interest Payment Date shall, if so provided in such Debt Security, be paid to the Person in whose name that Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest payment. 
 Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, payment of interest may be made at the
option of the Company by check mailed or delivered to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Debt Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located inside the United
States. 
 Any interest on any Debt Security of any particular series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid
by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 
 (1) The Company may elect
to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of that series (or their respective Predecessor Debt 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 for the Debt Securities of such series in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Debt Security of that series and
the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with such Trustee an amount of money (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Debt Securities of such series) equal to the aggregate amount
proposed to be paid 

  
 - 21 - 








 
in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to such Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon such Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be 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 such Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. Such Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and
at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Debt Securities of that series at such
Holder’s address as it appears in the Debt Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as
aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of that series (or their respective Predecessor Debt Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to
the following clause (2). 
 (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Debt Securities of any particular
series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Debt Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice is given by the Company to the
Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series of the proposed manner of payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by such Trustee. 

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

Section 3.8 Persons Deemed Owners. 

Prior to due presentment of a Debt Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee for such Debt Security and any agent of the
Company or such Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any such Debt Security is registered as the owner of such Debt Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.7) interest,
if any, on such Debt Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Debt Security be overdue, and neither the Company, such Trustee nor any agent of the Company or such Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Section 3.9 Cancellation. 

All Debt Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or delivered in satisfaction of any sinking
fund payment, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee for such Debt Securities, be delivered to such Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for Debt


  
 - 22 - 








 
Securities of a series for cancellation any Debt Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Debt Securities
so delivered shall be promptly canceled by such Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, in the case of a series, all the Debt Securities of which are not to be originally issued at one time, a Debt Security of
such series shall not be deemed to have been Outstanding at any time hereunder if and to the extent that, subsequent to the authentication and delivery thereof, such Debt Security is delivered to the Trustee for such Debt Security for cancellation
by the Company or any agent thereof upon the failure of the original purchaser thereof to make payment therefor against delivery thereof, and any Debt Security so delivered to such Trustee shall be promptly canceled by it. No Debt Securities shall
be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Debt Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Debt Securities held by the Trustee for such Debt Securities shall be disposed of
by such Trustee in accordance with its standard procedures and a certificate of disposition evidencing such disposition of Debt Securities shall be provided to the Company by such Trustee. 

Section 3.10 Computation of Interest. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Debt Securities of any particular series, interest on the Debt
Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 ARTICLE 4 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

Section 4.1 Satisfaction and Discharge of Debt Securities of any Series. 

(a) The Company shall be deemed to have satisfied and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the Debt Securities of any
particular series and, so long as no Event of Default shall be continuing, the Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series, upon Company Request and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of such indebtedness, when: 
 (1) either 

(A) all Debt Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) any Debt Securities of
such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.6 and (ii) Debt Securities of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and
held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in the last paragraph of Section 10.3) have been delivered to such Trustee for cancellation; or 

  
 - 23 - 








 (B) with respect to all Outstanding Debt Securities of such series described in
(A) above not theretofore so delivered to the Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series for cancellation: 
 (i) the Company has deposited or
caused to be deposited with such Trustee as trust funds in trust an amount (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Debt Securities of such series), sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all such
Outstanding Debt Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, to the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date as contemplated by Section 4.2, as the case may be; or 

(ii) the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with such Trustee as obligations in trust such amount of U.S. Government Obligations as will, as
evidenced by a Certificate of a Firm of Independent Public Accountants delivered to such Trustee, together with the predetermined and certain income to accrue thereon (without consideration of any reinvestment thereof), be sufficient to pay and
discharge when due the entire indebtedness on all such Outstanding Debt Securities of such series for unpaid principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, to the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date as contemplated by Section 4.2, as
the case may be; or 
 (iii) the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with such Trustee in trust an amount equal to the amount referred to in
clause (i) or (ii) in any combination; 
 (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable with
respect to the Debt Securities of such series; 
 (3) the Company has delivered to such Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness on all Debt Securities of such series have been complied with; and 

(4) if the Debt Securities of such series are not to become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year of the
date of such deposit or are not to be called for redemption within one year of the date of such deposit under arrangements satisfactory to such Trustee as of the date of such deposit, then the Company shall have given, not later than the date of
such deposit, notice of such deposit to the Holders of such Debt Securities. 
 (b) Upon the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in this Section 4.1 with respect to all the Debt Securities of any series, the terms and conditions of such series, including the terms and conditions with respect thereto set forth in this Indenture, shall no longer be binding upon,
or applicable to, the Company, and the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series shall look for payment only to the funds or obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(1)(B); provided, however, that in no event shall
the Company be discharged from (i) any payment obligations in respect of Debt Securities of such series which are deemed not to be Outstanding under clause (3) of the definition thereof if such obligations continue to be valid obligations
of the Company under applicable law, (ii) from any obligations under Sections 4.2(b), 6.7 and 6.10 and (iii) from any obligations under Sections 3.5 and 3.6 (except that Debt Securities of such series issued upon registration of transfer
or exchange or in lieu of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities shall not be obligations of the Company) and Sections 7.1 and 10.2; and provided, further, that in the event a petition for relief under the


  
 - 24 - 








 
Bankruptcy Act of 1978 or Title 11 of the United States Code or a successor statute is filed and not discharged with respect to the Company within 91 days after the deposit, the entire
indebtedness on all Debt Securities of such series shall not be discharged, and in such event the Trustee shall return such deposited funds or obligations as it is then holding to the Company upon Company Request. 

Section 4.2 Application of Trust Money. 

(a) All money and obligations deposited with the Trustee for any series of Debt Securities pursuant to Section 4.1 shall
be held irrevocably in trust and shall be made under the terms of an escrow trust agreement in form satisfactory to such Trustee. Such money and obligations shall be applied by such Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Debt Securities,
this Indenture and such escrow trust agreement, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as such Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Debt Securities for the payment of which such money and obligations have been deposited with such Trustee. If Debt Securities of any series are to be redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity, whether
pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in accordance with any mandatory sinking fund requirement, the Company shall make such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Trustee for such series of Debt Securities for the giving of notice of
redemption by such Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company. 
 (b) The Company shall pay and shall indemnify
the Trustee for any series of Debt Securities against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 4.1 or the interest and principal received in respect of such U.S.
Government Obligations other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is payable by or on behalf of Holders. The obligation of the Company under this Section 4.2(b) shall be deemed to be an obligation of the Company under
Section 6.7(2). 
 (c) Anything in this Article 4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee for any series of Debt
Securities shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 4.1 which, as expressed in a Certificate of a Firm of Independent Public
Accountants delivered to such Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then have been required to be deposited for the purpose for which such money or U.S. Government Obligations were deposited or received provided such delivery can
be made without liquidating any U.S. Government Obligations. 
 Section 4.3 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

Upon compliance by the Company with the provisions of Section 4.1 as to the satisfaction and discharge of each series of Debt Securities
issued hereunder, and if the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under this Indenture, this Indenture shall cease to be of any further effect (except as otherwise provided herein). Upon Company Request and receipt of an
Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate complying with the provisions of Section 1.2, the Trustees for all series of Debt Securities (at the expense of the Company) shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture. 

  
 - 25 - 








 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, any obligations of the Company
under Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.2(b), 6.7, 6.10, 7.1 and 10.2 and the obligations of the Trustee for any series of Debt Securities under Section 4.2 shall survive. 

Section 4.4 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee for any series of Debt Securities is unable to apply any of the amounts (for purposes of this Section 4.4,
“Amounts”) or U.S. Government Obligations, as the case may be, described in Section 4.1(a)(1)(B)(i) or (ii), respectively, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 by reason of any legal proceeding or 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 Debt Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 4.1 until such time as the Trustee for such series is permitted to apply all such Amounts or U.S. Government Obligations, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1;
provided, however, that if, due to the reinstatement of its rights or obligations hereunder, the Company has made any payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on such Debt Securities, the Company shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of such Debt Securities to receive payment from such Amounts or U.S. Government Obligations, as the case may be, held by the Trustee for such series. 

ARTICLE 5 
 REMEDIES 

Section 5.1 Events of Default. 

“Event of Default” wherever used herein with respect to any particular series of Debt Securities, unless otherwise specified in the
Debt Security or the Board Resolution with respect to that series of Debt Securities, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation
of law pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): 

(1) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any Debt Security of that series when it becomes due and
payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or 
 (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any, on) any Debt Security of that series at its Maturity; or

any covenant or warranty of the Company in respect of any Debt Security of that series contained in this Indenture or in such Debt Securities (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this
Section specifically dealt with or which expressly has been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of Debt Securities of a 

  
 - 26 - 








 
series other than that series) or in the applicable Board Resolution under which such series is issued as contemplated by Section 3.1 and continuance of such default or breach for a period
of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series or to the Company and such Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Debt Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or 

(4) if an event of default with respect to any other series of Debt Securities or as defined in any mortgage, indenture,
security agreement or other instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any Indebtedness of the Company for money borrowed in excess of $10 million principal amount, whether such Indebtedness now exists
or shall hereafter be created, shall happen and, if such Indebtedness is not already matured in accordance with its terms, shall result in such Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise
become due and payable, and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled or such Indebtedness shall not have been discharged, in either case, within a period of ten days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail in
the manner set forth in Section 1.5, to the Company by the Trustee for the Debt Securities of that particular series referred to in the first clause of this Section 5.1 or to the Company and such Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in

indenture or instrument shall be remedied or cured by the Company or waived by the holders of such Indebtedness, then the Event of Default hereunder shall be deemed likewise to have been remedied, cured or waived; and provided, further, however,
that, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, such Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such default unless either (A) a Responsible Officer of such Trustee assigned to its Corporate Trust Office shall have actual
knowledge of such default or (B) the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company, from the Holders of 10% or more in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such other series, from the holder of any such

and the continuance of such judgment, decree or order unsatisfied and in effect for any period of 60 consecutive days without a stay of execution and there has been given, by registered or certified mail in the manner set forth in Section 1.5,
to the Company by the Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series or to the Company and such Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series a written notice specifying such entry and
continuance of such judgment, decree or order and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; 

  
 - 27 - 








 
provided, however, that subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, such Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such entry and continuance of such judgment, decree or order
unless either (A) a Responsible Officer of such Trustee assigned to its Corporate Trust Office shall have actual knowledge of such default or (B) the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or from the Holders
of 10% or more in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series; or 
 (6) the Company shall commence
any case or proceeding seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as debtor or to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent or seeking reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, arrangement, composition or readjustment of its
debts or any other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, arrangement, composition, readjustment of debt or other similar act or law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, now or hereafter existing; or
the Company shall apply for a receiver, custodian or trustee (other than any trustee appointed as a mortgagee or secured party in connection with the issuance of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company) of it or for all or a substantial part
of its property; or the Company shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or the Company shall take any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or

secured party in connection with the issuance of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company) of the Company or for all or a substantial part of its property shall be appointed in any such case or proceeding; and such case or proceeding
(A) results in the entry of an order for relief or a similar order against it or (B) shall continue unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days. 

Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(6) or (7)) with respect to any particular series of
Debt Securities occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case either the Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series may declare the
entire principal amount (or, in the case of Discounted Debt Securities, such lesser amount as may be provided for in the terms of that series) of all the Debt Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Company (and to such Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration of acceleration such principal or such lesser amount, as the case may be, together with accrued interest and all other amounts owing hereunder, shall become immediately
due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. 

  
 - 28 - 








 If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(6) or (7) occurs and is continuing,
such principal or such lesser amount, as the case may be, together with accrued interest and all other amounts owing hereunder, on the Debt Securities of that series shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other
act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or
decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee for the Debt Securities of any series as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series, by
written notice to the Company and such Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (1) the
Company has paid or deposited with such Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
 (A) all overdue interest on all Debt Securities
of that series; 
 (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Debt Securities of that series which have become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon from the date such principal became due at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by the Debt Securities of such series (or, in the case of Discounted Debt Securities, the
Debt Securities’ Yield to Maturity), to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable; 

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at a rate per annum equal to the
rate borne by the Debt Securities of such series (or, in the case of Discounted Debt Securities, the Debt Securities’ Yield to Maturity); 

(D) all sums paid or advanced by such Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such Trustee; and 
 (2) all Events of Default with
respect to the Debt Securities of such series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of Debt Securities of that series which has become due solely by such 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 interest upon any Debt Security of any series when such interest becomes due and
payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days; or 

  
 - 29 - 








 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on)
any Debt Security of any series at its Maturity, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Debt Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Debt Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of
interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by such Debt Securities (or, in the case of Discounted Debt Securities, the Debt Securities’ Yield to Maturity); 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 such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such Trustee under Section 6.7. 

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, such 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 proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable
in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, wherever situated. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Debt
Securities of any particular series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of that series by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as such 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 relating to the Company or the property of the Company or its creditors, the Trustee for the Debt Securities of any series (irrespective of whether the principal (or lesser amount in the case of Discounted Debt Securities)
of any Debt Security of such series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether such Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or
interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 
 (i) to file and prove a claim
for the whole amount of principal (or lesser amount in the case of Discounted Debt Securities) (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities of such series and to file such other papers or documents
as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of such Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such Trustee
under Section 6.7) and of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series allowed in such judicial proceeding; 

  
 - 30 - 








 (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims and to distribute the same; and 
 (iii) unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, to vote on
behalf of the Holders of the Debt 
 Securities of such series in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other person performing similar
functions; and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Debt Securities to make such payments to such Trustee, and in the event that
such Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Debt Securities, to pay to such Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due such Trustee under Section 6.7. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee
for the Debt Securities of any series to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Debt Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Debt Securities of such series or the
rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee for the Debt Securities of any series to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding, except as aforesaid, for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other person
performing similar functions. 
 Section 5.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Debt Securities. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Debt Securities of any series may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee for
the Debt Securities of any series without the possession of any of the Debt Securities of such series or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by such 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 such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such
Trustee under Section 6.7, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

Section 5.6 Application of Money Collected. 

Any money collected by the Trustee for the Debt Securities of any series pursuant to this Article with respect to the Debt Securities of such
series shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by such Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Debt Securities of

for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and 
 Third: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled
thereto. 
 Section 5.7 Limitation on Suits. 

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

(1) an Event of Default with respect to that series shall have occurred and be continuing and such Holder shall have previously
given written notice to the Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series of such default and the continuance thereof; 

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

incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (4) such 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 such Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series; it being understood and intended that no Holder or Holders of Debt Securities of that series
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 Holders of Debt Securities of that series, or to enforce any right under this
Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Debt Securities of that series.

unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.7) interest, if any, on such Debt Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Debt Security (or, in the case of redemption,
on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

  
 - 32 -

If the Trustee for the Debt Securities of any series or any Holder of a Debt 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 such Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, such Trustee and the Holders of Debt
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 such Trustee and such 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 Debt Securities in the last
paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee for the Debt Securities of any series or to the Holders of Debt 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 for the Debt Securities of any series or of any Holder of any Debt Security of such series to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of such series 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 such Trustee for the Debt Securities of any series or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by such Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

Section 5.12 Control by Holders. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any particular series shall have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series with respect to the Debt Securities of that series or exercising any trust or power conferred on such Trustee with
respect to such Debt Securities, provided that: 
 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with
this Indenture; and

with such direction. 

  
 - 33 - 








 Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any particular series may on behalf of the
Holders of all the Debt Securities of that series waive any past default hereunder with respect to that series and its consequences, except: 

(1) a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Debt Security of that series;
or 
 (2) a default with respect to a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Debt Security of that 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, and any such waiver shall be binding upon all subsequent Holders of such Indebtedness; but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 5.14 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 for any series of Debt Securities, but will
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 Section 5.15 Undertaking for
Costs. 
 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debt Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party
litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or
group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any Debt Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Debt Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee for any series of Debt Securities shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

such Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 

(f) such Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but such Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters at it may
see fit, and, if such Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; and

 Section 6.6 Money Held in Trust. 

Money held by the Trustee for any series of Debt Securities in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent

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. If at any time the Trustee for the Debt Securities
of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 

Section 6.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

 - 38 - 








 (b) The Trustee for the Debt Securities of any series may resign at any time with
respect to the Debt Securities of such series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee for the Debt Securities
of such series 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 with respect to the Debt Securities of such series.

(1) the Trustee for the Debt Securities of any series shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act
pursuant to Section 6.8 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of such series for at least six months unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed in accordance
with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, or 
 (2) such Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9
and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 
 (3) such Trustee shall
become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of such Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of such Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove such Trustee or (ii) any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt 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 removal of such Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(e) If the Trustee for the Debt Securities of any series shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a
vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for the Debt Securities of any series for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series and shall comply with
the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series shall be appointed by
Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities 

  
 - 39 - 








 
of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series shall have been so
appointed by the Company or the Holders and shall have accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, and if such Trustee is still incapable of acting, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of such series
for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. 

(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of
any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.6. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the

Successor. 
 (a) Every such successor Trustee appointed hereunder with respect to the Debt Securities of any series
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its reasonable
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 to the lien provided for in Section 6.7. 
 (b) In case of the appointment hereunder
of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Debt 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 Debt 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
Debt 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 Debt 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


  
 - 40 - 








 
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 each Trustee shall

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 Debt 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 Debt 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 Subsections (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 for the Debt
Securities of any series shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
 (e) Notwithstanding replacement of the
Trustee pursuant to Section 6.10, the Company’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses, losses and liabilities incurred by it prior to such replacement. 

Section 6.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 

Any corporation into which the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, for the Debt Securities of any series 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 Trustee or such Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all
or substantially all of the corporate trust business of such Trustee, shall be the successor of such Trustee or such Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, provided such successor 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 or the Trustee, the Authenticating Agent or their respective successor corporations. In case any Debt Securities shall have
been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for such series then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee or Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may
adopt such authentication and deliver the Debt Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Debt Securities.

 Section 6.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

The Trustee for any particular series of Debt Securities shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act for that particular
series of Debt Securities, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of that Act. If the Trustee for any particular series of Debt Securities shall resign or be removed as Trustee for that particular series of Debt
Securities, it shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent provided therein. 
 Section 6.14
Authenticating Agents. 
 From time to time the Trustee for the Debt Securities of any series may, subject to its sole discretion,
appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, which may include the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, with power to act on the Trustee’s behalf and subject to its discretion in the
authentication and delivery of Debt Securities of such series in connection with transfers and exchanges hereunder, including but not limited to those pursuant to Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 11.7, as fully to all intents and purposes as though such
Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections of this Indenture to authenticate and deliver Debt Securities of such series. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities of such series
by an Authenticating Agent for such Debt Securities pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities “by the Trustee” for the Debt Securities of such series. Any such Authenticating Agent
shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or the requirements of such supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating
Agent for any series of Debt Securities 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 Authenticating Agent for any series of Debt Securities may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for
such series and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of Debt Securities may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company in the manner set
forth in Section 1.5. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent for any series of Debt Securities shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee for such
series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Company and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Debt Securities of such series 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. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 

  
 - 42 - 








 The Trustee for the Debt Securities of each series agrees to pay to any Authenticating Agent for
such series from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and such Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to Section 6.7. 

If an appointment with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities is made pursuant to this Section, the Debt Securities of such series
may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certification of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form: 

“This is one of the Debt Securities, of the series designated herein, described in the within-mentioned Indenture. 

 

			
	U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

		 	As Authenticating Agent

and the Trustee’s receipt of them will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as
to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 Section 7.5 Certificates to Trustee.

 The Company will furnish to the Trustee annually, within 90 days after the end of its fiscal year (which fiscal year, on the date hereof,

agency.

Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee for the Debt Securities of any series all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by such 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 such Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee for the Debt Securities of any series or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Debt Security of any particular series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, has become due and payable
shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat, abandoned or unclaimed property law, be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trusts; and the Holder of
such Debt Security shall, thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of such 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 such Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment may mail written notice to each such Holder of such Debt Security in the manner set forth in
Section 1.5, or may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause to be published at least once in a newspaper published in the English language customarily on each Business Day and of general circulation in the

Section 10.5 Maintenance of Properties.

and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the reasonable judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the
business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any of its
properties if such discontinuance is, in the reasonable judgment of the Company desirable in the conduct of its business and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

 Section 10.6 Corporate Existence. 

Subject to Article 8, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall reasonably determine that the preservation thereof is no
longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders; and provided, further, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit a sale, transfer or
conveyance of a Subsidiary or any of its assets in compliance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 10.6 or set forth in any Board Resolution establishing the Debt Securities of a series, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series
of Debt Securities affected by the omission shall, in each case by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such
covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee for the Debt Securities of each series with respect to any such covenant or
condition shall remain in full force and effect.

the provision of such form of Debt Security shall govern.

Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Debt Securities of that series to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Debt Security Registrar for the Debt Securities of such series,
from the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series not previously called for redemption, by such method as such Debt Security Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the
minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of that series, or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Debt Securities of that series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of
that series pursuant to Section 3.2. 
 The Debt Security Registrar for the Debt Securities of any series to be redeemed shall promptly
notify the Company in writing of the Debt Securities of such series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Debt 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 Debt Securities shall
relate, in the case of any Debt Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Debt Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 

Section 11.4 Notice of Redemption.

(2) the Redemption Price, 

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

payment of the Redemption Price, and 
 (6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.

request, by the Trustee for such Debt Securities in the name and at the expense of the Company. 
 Section 11.5 Deposit of
Redemption Price. 
 Prior to the opening of business on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee for the Debt
Securities to be redeemed or with a Paying Agent for such Debt Securities (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent for such Debt Securities, 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 Debt Securities of such Series) sufficient to pay the principal amount of (and premium, if any, thereon), and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) any accrued
interest on, all the Debt Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 11.6 Debt Securities Payable on Redemption
Date. 
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Debt Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date,
become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified (except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Debt Securities of such series) and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the
Redemption Price) such Debt Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Debt Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Debt Security or specified portions thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption
Price; provided, however, that unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, installments of interest on Debt Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Debt
Securities, or one or more Predecessor Debt 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 Debt Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof (and premium, if
any, thereon) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by the Debt Security (or, in the case of Discounted Debt Securities, the Debt Security’s Yield to Maturity). 

Section 11.7 Debt Securities Redeemed in Part. 

Any Debt Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Place of Payment (with, if the Company or the Trustee for
such Debt Security so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Debt Security Registrar for such Debt Security duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute and such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Debt Security without service charge,

 ARTICLE 13 

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES 

Section 13.1 Agreement to Subordinate. 

The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Debentures issued under the Indenture likewise covenants and agrees, that the Debentures shall be issued
subject to the provisions of this Article 13; and each Holder of a Debenture, whether upon original issue or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions. 

The payment by the Company of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Debentures shall, to the extent and in the manner set
forth in this Article 13, be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date of this First Supplemental Indenture or thereafter incurred. 

No provision of this Article 13 shall prevent the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Debentures or any event, act or
condition that with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Debentures. 

Section 13.2 Default on Senior Indebtedness. 

Unless Section 13.3 shall be applicable, in the event and during the continuation of any default by the Company in the payment of
principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on any Senior Indebtedness, or in the event that the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness has been or would be permitted upon notice or the passage of time to be accelerated because of a default,
then, unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist and such acceleration shall have been rescinded or annulled, then no payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash,
properties or securities shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal (including redemption payments) of or premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Debentures by the Company
or any Subsidiary, in each case unless and until all amounts due or to become due on such Senior Indebtedness, including interest accruing on Senior Indebtedness after the filing of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, are paid in full in cash or
other consideration satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 
 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
payment shall be received by the Trustee or a holder of any Debenture when such payment is prohibited by the preceding paragraph of this Section 13.2, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered
to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, but only
to the extent that the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (or their representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing, within 90 days of such payment. 

  
 - 56 - 








 Section 13.3 Prior Payment to Senior Indebtedness Upon Acceleration of Debentures. In
the event that any Debentures are declared due and payable before their Stated Maturity, then no payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities shall be made by the Company on account of the principal
(including redemption payments) of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Debentures by the Company or any Subsidiary, until all amounts due on or to become due in respect of Senior
Indebtedness outstanding at the time of such acceleration, including interest accruing on Senior Indebtedness after a filing of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, shall have been paid in full to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness in cash or
other consideration satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, or provision shall have been made for such payment. 
 In the
event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee or the Holder of any Debenture prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.3, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and
shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective
interests may appear, but only to the extent that the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (or their representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing, within 90 days of such payment. 

The provisions of this Section 13.3 shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 13.4 would be applicable. 

Section 13.4 Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. In the case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, dissolution,
winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshaling of assets or liabilities of the Company or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings (each such event, if any, herein sometimes referred to as a “Proceeding”), then the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts
due or to become due on such Senior Indebtedness, including interest accruing on Senior Indebtedness after a filing of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding,or provision shall be made for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a
manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before the Holders of the Debentures are entitled to receive or retain any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including any payment or
distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other debt of the Company subordinated to the payment of the Debentures, such payment or distribution being hereinafter referred to as a “Junior Subordinated
Payment”), on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Debentures or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Debentures by the Company or any Subsidiary, and to that end the holders of Senior Indebtedness
shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment thereof, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any Junior Subordinated Payment, which may be payable or deliverable in
respect of the Debentures in any such Proceeding. 

  
 - 57 - 








 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.4, the
Trustee or the Holders of any Debenture shall have received any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any Junior Subordinated Payment, before all amounts due or
to become due on all Senior Indebtedness are paid in full or payment thereof is provided for in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of
such payment or distribution, have been made actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then in such event such payment or distribution shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in
bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the Company for application to the payment of all amounts due or to become due on all Senior Indebtedness remaining
unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all amounts due or to become due on all Senior Indebtedness in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness. 

For purposes of this Article 13, the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed (so long as the effect of any
exclusion employing this definition is not to cause the Debentures to be treated in any Proceeding as a part of the same class of claims as the Senior Indebtedness or any class of claims pari passu with, or senior to the Senior Indebtedness) to
include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided
in this Article 13 with respect to the Debentures to the payment of Senior Indebtedness that may at the time be outstanding, provided that (i) such Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such
reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of
the Company into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another Person upon the terms and conditions
provided for in Article 8 shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 13.4 if such other Person shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or
lease, comply with the conditions stated in Article 8. 
 Section 13.5 Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full of all
amounts due or to become due on all Senior Indebtedness to the extent provided herein or the provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the rights of the
Holders of the Debentures shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13 (equally and
ratably with the holders of all Indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Debentures are subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness and is
entitled to like rights of subrogation by reason of payments or distributions made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness) 

  
 - 58 - 








 
to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments and distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, applicable to such Senior
Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debentures shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property
or securities to which the Holders of the Debentures or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 13, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13 to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness by Holders of the Debentures or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the Holders of the Debentures, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on
account of such Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that the provisions of this Article 13 are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Debentures, on the one hand, and the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness on the other hand. 
 Nothing contained in this Article 13 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Debentures is
intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the Holders of the Debentures, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the
Holders of the Debentures the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of
the Debentures and creditors of the Company, as the case may be, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Debenture from
exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under the Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 13 of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the
Company, as the case may be, received upon the exercise of any such remedy. 
 Section 13.6 Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.
Each Holder of the Debentures by such Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article 13
and appoints the Trustee such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 
 Section 13.7 Notice by the
Company. The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Debentures pursuant to
the provisions of this Article 13. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 13 or any other provision of the Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment
of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Debentures pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder or holders of
Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article 13 of this Indenture, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist;
provided that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 13.7 at least two Business Days prior to the date (i) upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for 

  
 - 59 - 








 
any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debenture), or (ii) moneys and/or U.S. Government Obligations are
deposited in trust pursuant to Article 10 then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and Government Obligations of the United States of America and to apply
the same to the purposes for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date. 

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article 6, shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a
Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or a trustee or
representative on behalf of any such holder or holders. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of such Senior Indebtedness to participate in any
payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 13, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such
Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 13, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending
judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 
 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company
referred to in this Article 13, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debentures shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation,
reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such
payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Debentures, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of
the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 13. 

Section 13.8 Rights of the Trustee; Holders of Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to
all the rights set forth in this Article 13 in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as
such holder. 
 With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its
covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 13, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be
deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Article 6, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Indebtedness if it shall mistakenly or otherwise pay over or deliver to
Holders of the Debentures, the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 13 or otherwise. 

  
 - 60 - 








 Nothing in this Article 13 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or
pursuant to Section 6.7. 
 Section 13.9 Subordination May Not Be Impaired. No right of any present or future holder of any
Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by
any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of the Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with. 

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to
time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Debentures, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Debentures and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 13 or the
obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Debentures to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: 

(1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, such Senior Indebtedness,
or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner such Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which such Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; 

(2) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing such Senior
Indebtedness; 
 (3) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of such Senior Indebtedness; and 

(4) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person. 

Section 13.10 Article Applicable to Paying Agents. In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been
appointed by the Company and then be acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article 13 shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its
meanings as fully and for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this article in addition to or in place of the Trustee. 

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