 10 








 
this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of

combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or
instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to
Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be
proved in the manner provided in Section 15.6. 
 Without limiting the generality of this Section 1.4, unless otherwise provided in
or pursuant to this Indenture, a Holder, including a U.S. Depository that is a Holder of a global Security, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies, duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,

 The Company shall fix a record date for
the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interest in any permanent global Security held by a U.S. Depository entitled under the procedures of such U.S. Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed
in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their
duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date.
No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date.

Register. 
  

 11 








 (4) The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by any
Person, and the date of the commencement and the date of the termination of holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other
depositary reasonably acceptable to the Company, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Company and the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or
exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The
Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (i) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (ii) such Bearer Security
is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (iii) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (iv) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers
of Bearer Securities held by the Person so executing such instrument or writing and the date of the commencement and the date of the termination of holding the same may also be proved in any other manner, which the Company and the Trustee deem
sufficient. 
 (5) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of any Registered Securities any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may at its option (but is not obligated to), by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date,
but only the Holders of Registered Securities of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized
or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement
or consent by the Holders of Registered Securities shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. 
 (6) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act by the Holder of any Security shall bind every
future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security
Registrar, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such Act is made upon such Security.

hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

each Holder of a Registered Security affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice; and 
 (2) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer Securities, if any, if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City
of New York and, if such Securities are then listed on any stock exchange outside the United States, in an Authorized Newspaper in such city as the Company shall advise the Trustee that such stock exchange so requires, on a Business Day at least
twice, the first such publication to be not earlier than the earliest date and the second such publication not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
 In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so
mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein.
Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided. In the 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 by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 
 In case by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearers Securities
as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither failure to give notice by
publication to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice mailed to Holders of Registered Securities as provided above. 
  

 13 








 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 of Securities shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition
precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to the party receiving such communication at its address indicated below:

shareholder, officer or director, as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any Security or implied therefrom, are
hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issuance of such Security.

 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Securities, the Securities shall not be issuable in temporary or permanent global form.
If Securities of a series shall be issuable in global form, as specified and contemplated by Section 3.1, any such Security may provide that it or any number of such Securities shall represent the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Securities
of such series (or such lesser amount as is permitted by the terms thereof)

made in such manner and by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4 with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 and, if applicable,
Section 3.4, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver, in each case at the Company’s expense, any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable
Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not be accompanied by or
contained in an Officers’ Certificate and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests of a global Security, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to beneficial ownership interests, and each
of the Company and the Trustee may act or refrain from acting without liability on any information provided by the Depository. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.8 and except as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding
Securities represented by a global Security (i) in the case of a global Security in registered form, the Holder of such global Security in registered form, or (ii) in the case of a global Security in bearer form, the Person or Persons
specified pursuant to Section 3.1.

interest, if any, Maturity, and the date from which interest, if any, shall accrue and except as may otherwise be provided by the Company in or pursuant to the Board Resolution and set forth in the Officers’ Certificate or in any indenture or

time upon written order of persons designated in the Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture and that such persons are authorized to determine, consistent with such Officers’ Certificate or any applicable supplemental indenture,
such terms and conditions of the Securities of such series as are specified in such Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise so provided, a
series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series or to establish additional terms of such series of Securities. The Company also may issue, and the Trustee may authenticate, Securities with the same terms as previously
issued Securities. 
  

 21 








 If any of the terms of the Securities of any series shall be established by action taken by or pursuant
to a Board Resolution, the Board Resolution shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of such series.

 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the principal of, and any premium and interest, if any, on, the Securities shall be payable in Dollars. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, Registered
Securities denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in registered form without Coupons in denominations of $1,000, and any integral multiple thereof, and the Bearer Securities denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in denominations of $5,000.
Securities not denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in such denominations as are established with respect to such Securities in or pursuant to this Indenture. 
 Section 3.3 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 
 Securities shall be executed on
behalf of the Company by its [Chairman of the Board, a Vice Chairman, its President, its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, its Treasurer or a Vice President under its corporate seal reproduced thereon and attested by its
Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries]. Coupons shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the [Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer] of the Company. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities or any Coupons appertaining
thereto may be manual or facsimile. 
 Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities and Coupons
or did not hold such offices at the date of original issuance of such Securities or Coupons. 
 At any time and from time to time after the
execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities, together with any Coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication and, provided that the Board Resolution and Officers’
Certificate or supplemental indenture or indentures with respect to such Securities referred to in Section 3.1 and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities have been delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee in
accordance with the Company Order and subject to the provisions hereof and of such Securities shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in
relation to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon, 
 (1) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that: 
 (a) the form or forms and the terms of such Securities and any Coupons have been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture; and 
  

 22 








 (b) such Securities, together with any Coupons appertaining thereto, when completed by
appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and issued by the Company in the
manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, to general equitable principles and to such other qualifications as such counsel shall conclude do not materially affect the rights
of Holders of such Securities and any Coupons; and 
 (2) an Officers’ Certificate stating that, to the best knowledge of
the Persons executing such certificate, all conditions precedent to the execution, authentication and delivery of such Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, have been complied with, and no event which is, or after notice or lapse of
time would become, an Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 If all the Securities
of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate at the time of issuance of each Security, but such Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate, with
appropriate modifications, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series. After any such first delivery, any separate written request by an Authorized Officer of the Company or any person designated in
writing by an Authorized Officer that the Trustee authenticate and deliver Securities of such series for original issue will be deemed to be a certification by the Company that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to
authentication and delivery of such Securities continue to have been complied with and that no Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities has occurred or is continuing. 
 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause an Authenticating Agent to authenticate any Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or if the Trustee, being advised by
counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken. 
 Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
Each Bearer Security and any Bearer Security in global form shall be dated as of the date specified in or pursuant to this Indenture. 
 No
Security or Coupon appertaining thereto shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in
Section 2.2 or 6.11 executed by or on behalf of the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers. Such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Except as permitted by Section 3.6, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all Coupons appertaining thereto then matured have been detached
and cancelled. 
  

 23 








 Section 3.4 Temporary Securities. 
 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute and deliver to the Trustee and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided in Section 3.3, temporary Securities in lieu thereof which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor
of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture, in bearer form with one or more Coupons or without Coupons and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in global form. 
 Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities
are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of the same series and containing terms and provisions that are identical to those of any temporary
Securities, such temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for such definitive Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at an Office or Agency for such Securities, without charge to any Holder thereof. Upon surrender for cancellation
of any one or more temporary Securities (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive
Securities of authorized denominations of the same series and containing identical terms and provisions; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security, except as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, shall be delivered in exchange for a
temporary Registered Security; and provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in or pursuant to this Indenture. Unless
otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to a temporary global Security, until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Securities of such series. 
 Section 3.5 Registration, Transfer and Exchange. 
 With respect to the Registered Securities of each series, if any, the Company shall cause to be kept a register (each such register being herein sometimes
referred to as the “Security Register”) at an Office or Agency for such series in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered Securities of such series
and of transfers of the Registered Securities of such series. Such Office or Agency shall be the “Security Registrar” for that series of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities, the Trustee
shall be the initial Security Registrar for each series of Securities. The Company shall have the right to remove and replace from time to time the Security Registrar for any series of Securities; provided that no such removal or replacement shall
be effective until a successor Security Registrar with respect to such series of Securities shall have been appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such appointment 

  

 24 








 
by the Company. In the event that the Trustee shall not be or shall cease to be Security Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, it shall have the
right to examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times. The Company shall be required to maintain a Security Registrar in each place where the principal of and premium or interest on any Security is payable. There shall be
only one Security Register for each series of Securities. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any
series at any Office or Agency for such series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series denominated
as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture, of a like aggregate principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions. 
 At the option of the Holder, certificated Securities (including Bearer Securities) and the right to receive the principal, premium and interest, if any,
on any certificated Security may be transferred by a Holder by surrendering such certificate representing the certificated Securities at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. Such certificate representing the certificated Securities may be
reissued by the Company or the Trustee to a new Holder or a new certificate representing the certificated Securities may be issued by the Company or the Trustee to a new Holder. 
 At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series containing identical
terms and provisions, in any authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any Office or Agency for such series. Whenever any Registered Securities are so surrendered for
exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, with respect to Securities of any series, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of such series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series
containing identical terms, denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture and in the same aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any Office or Agency for such series, with all unmatured
Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured Coupon or Coupons or matured Coupon or Coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer
Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company and the Trustee in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon or Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the
Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in
respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2, interest represented by Coupons shall be payable
only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an Office or Agency for such series located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such 

  

 25 








 
Office or Agency for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series and like tenor after the close of business at such Office or Agency on
(i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the
related date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date of payment, as the case may be (or, if such Coupon is so surrendered with such
Bearer Security, such Coupon shall be returned to the Person so surrendering the Bearer Security), and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case
may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Securities of any series, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of such series
may be exchanged for Bearer Securities upon such terms and conditions as may be provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to such series. 
 Whenever any Securities are surrendered for exchange as contemplated by the immediately preceding two paragraphs, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, any global Security shall be exchangeable for certificated Securities only if (i) the Depository is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as depository and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days of the date the Company is so informed in writing, (ii) subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, the Company, in its discretion, determines not to require all of the Securities of a series to be represented by a
global Security and notifies the Trustee of its decision by executing and delivering to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such global Security shall be so exchangeable or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall have notified the Depository that the global Security shall be exchangeable for certificated Securities. If the beneficial owners of interests in a global Security are entitled to
exchange such interests for definitive Securities as the result of an event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such
interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series, containing identical terms and in aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the U.S.
Depository or such other Depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto, and in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the U.S. Depository or such other Depository, as the case may be (which instructions
shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent
for such purpose, to be 

  

 26 








 
exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive Securities as described above without charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery,
in exchange for each portion of such surrendered global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such global Security to be exchanged,
which (unless such Securities are not issuable both as Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, in which case the definitive Securities exchanged for the global Security shall be issuable only in the form in which the Securities are issuable,
as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof, but subject to the satisfaction of any certification
or other requirements to the issuance of Bearer Securities; provided, however, that (unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a global Security shall be mailed or otherwise
delivered to any location in the United States. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such Depository or the U.S. Depository, as the case may be, or such other Depository or U.S.
Depository referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a global Security after the close of business at the Office or Agency for such
Security where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date for
such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date
for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such
global Security shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 All Securities issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitling the Holders thereof to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer
or exchange. 
 Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so
required by the Company or the Security Registrar for such Security) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar for such Security 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,
or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge and any other reasonable expenses (including fees and expenses of the Trustee) that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 3.6, 9.5 or 11.7 not involving any transfer. 
 Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period 

  

 27 








 
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day the Company transmits a notice of redemption of Securities of the series selected for redemption
and ending at the close of business on the day of the transmission, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion
thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security selected for redemption except, to the extent provided with respect to such Bearer Security, that such Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of like tenor
and the same series, provided that such Registered Security shall be immediately surrendered for redemption with written instruction for payment consistent with the provisions of this Indenture or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Security which, in accordance with its terms, has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid. 
 Section 3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 
 If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated Coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.6, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons appertaining thereto corresponding to the
Coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security. 
 If there be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or Coupon, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Company or the Trustee that such Security or Coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon the Company’s request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains with all appurtenant Coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen, a new Security of the same series containing identical
terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons appertaining thereto corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which
such destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.6, in case any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security or Coupon; provided, however, that payment of principal
of, and any premium or interest, if any, on any Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2, be payable only at an Office or Agency for such Securities located outside the United States. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
  

 28 








 Every new Security, with any Coupons appertaining thereto issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in
lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains shall constitute a separate obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and
Coupons appertaining thereto or the destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series
and any Coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section 3.6, as amended or supplemented pursuant to this
Indenture with respect to particular Securities or generally, shall be exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or
Coupons. 
 Section 3.7 Payment of Interest; Rights to Interest Preserved. 
 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on any Registered Security which shall be payable, and are punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 
 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on any Registered Security which shall be payable, but shall not be punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Registered Security (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having
been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 
 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Person in whose name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the
payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed by the Company in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on such Registered Security, the Special Record
Date therefor and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when so deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. The Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after notification to the Trustee of the proposed payment. The
Trustee shall, in the name and at the expense of the Company cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Holder of such Registered Security
(or a Predecessor Security thereof) at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the 

  

 29 








 
name and at the expense of the Company cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper of general circulation in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of 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 Person in whose name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be
payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 
 (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed
payment pursuant to this clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture or the Securities of any particular series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, at the option of the Company, interest on Registered Securities that bear interest may be paid at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
such purposes in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, or by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank
located in the United States. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Securities of
any series of global Securities (or its equivalent in a Foreign Currency, if the currency unit is a Foreign Currency), whether having identical or different terms and provisions, having the same interest payment dates will be entitled to receive
interest payments, other than at Maturity, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee for the Securities of such series at least 15 days prior to the
applicable Interest Payment Date. In addition to the foregoing, a holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Securities of any series of global Securities (or its equivalent in a Foreign Currency, if the currency unit is a Foreign
Currency), whether having identical or different terms and provisions, having the same Maturity will be entitled to receive payment at Maturity by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been
received in writing by the Trustee for the Securities of such series at least 15 days prior to Maturity; provided, however, that such payments shall be made subject to applicable laws and regulations and only after surrender of the global Securities
to the Company, the corporate trust office or the Paying Agent, for such global Securities not later than one Business Day prior to Maturity. Any wire instructions received by the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall remain in effect
until revoked by the Holder. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.5, each Security delivered under this
Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
  

 30 








 In the case of any Registered Security of any series that is convertible into other securities of the
Company or exchangeable for securities of another issuer, which Registered Security is converted or exchanged after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (other than any Registered Security with respect
to which the Stated Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date), interest with respect to which the Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion or exchange, and
such interest (whether or not punctually paid or duly provided for) shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Registered Security (or one or more predecessor Registered Securities) is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record
Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any Registered Security which is converted or exchanged, interest with respect to which the Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion or
exchange of such Registered Security shall not be payable. 
 Section 3.8 Persons Deemed Owners. 
 Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered in the Security Register as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, and any premium or (subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.7)
interest, if any, on such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Registered Security shall be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
bearer of any Bearer Security or the bearer of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or Coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with
respect to such Security or Coupon shall be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 No Holder of any beneficial interest in any global Security held on its behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to
such global Security, and such Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or
the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 Section 3.9 Cancellation. 
 All Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer, exchange or conversion or for credit against any sinking fund
payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and Coupons, as well as Securities and Coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such 

  

 31 








 
purpose, shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by or pursuant to this Indenture. All cancelled Securities and Coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee, unless by a Company Order, the Company
directs their return to it. 
 Section 3.10 Computation of Interest. 
 Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or in any Security, interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months. 
 ARTICLE 4 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 4.1
Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 Upon the direction of the Company by a Company Order, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect
with respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Order and any Coupons appertaining thereto (except as to any surviving rights of Securities of such series expressly provided for herein or pursuant thereto), and the Trustee, on
receipt of a Company Order, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when 
 (1) either 
 (a) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered and all Coupons appertaining thereto (other than (i) Coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities of such series surrendered in exchange for Registered Securities
of such series and maturing after such exchange whose surrender is not required or has been waived as provided in Section 3.5, (ii) Securities and Coupons of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.6, (iii) Coupons appertaining to Securities of such series called for redemption and maturing after the relevant Redemption Date whose surrender has been waived as provided in Section 11.7,
and (iv) Securities and Coupons 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
Section 10.3) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (b) all Securities of such series and, in the
case of (i) or (ii) of this subclause (b) below, any Coupons appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, or (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated
Maturity within one year, or (iii) if 

  

 32 








 
redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and the Company, in the case of subclause (b)(i), (ii) or
(iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose, money in the Currency in which such Securities are payable in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on
such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including the principal of, and any premium or interest, if any, on such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, to the date of
such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Maturity thereof, as the case may be; 
 (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto; and 
 (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate, each stating that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with. 
 In
the event there are Securities of two or more series hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to Securities of such series as
to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to any series of Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.6 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of
the Company and the Trustee with respect to the Securities of each series under Sections 3.5, 3.6, 4.3, 10.2 and 10.3, and with respect to any rights to convert or exchange such Securities into securities of the Company or another issuer, shall
survive. 
 Section 4.2 Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. 
 (1) Unless pursuant to Section 3.1, either or both of (i) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under clause
(2) of this Section 4.2 shall not be applicable with respect to the Securities of such series or (ii) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under clause (3) of this Section 4.2 shall not be applicable
with respect to the Securities of such series, then such provisions, together with the other provisions of this Section 4.2 (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to any Securities), shall
be applicable to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, elect to have Section 4.2(2) or
Section 4.2(3) be applied to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Section 4.2. 
  

 33 








 (2) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this
Section 4.2(2) with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto on the date the
conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 4.2 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
represented by such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of clause (5) of this and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in
clauses (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto are concerned
(and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such
Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund described in clause (4) of this Section 4.2 and as more fully set forth in such clause, payments in respect of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due, and any rights of such Holder to convert such Securities into other securities of the Company or exchange such Securities for
securities another issuer, (ii) the obligations of the Company and the Trustee with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.5, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.3, and with respect to any rights to convert such Securities into other securities of the
Company or exchange such Securities for securities of another issuer, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this Section 4.2. The Company may exercise its option under this
Section 4.2(2) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under clause (3) of this with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto. 
 (3) Upon the Company’s exercise of the option to have this Section 4.2(3) apply with respect to any Securities of or within a
series, the Company shall be released from its obligations under Sections 10.5 and 10.6, and, to the extent specified pursuant to Section 3.1(21), any other covenant applicable to such Securities, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and
any Coupons appertaining thereto, on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 4.2 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall
thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with any such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed
“Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the Company may omit to comply with, and shall have no
liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of
reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section 5.1(4) or 5.1(8) or otherwise, as the
case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby. 
  

 34 








 (4) The following shall be the conditions to application of clause (2) or
(3) of this Section 4.2 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any Coupons appertaining thereto: 
 (a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.7 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.2
applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto,
(1) an amount in Dollars or in such Foreign Currency in which such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity, or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities and Coupons
appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of the Currency in which such Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, money in an amount,
or (3) a combination thereof, in any case, in an amount, sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (y) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such
Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto at the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or premium or interest and (z) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such
Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto on the days on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto. Provided, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Securities which shall at the time be listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, there shall be no deposit of funds in cash and/or in Government Obligations with the Trustee to pay the
principal amount, the redemption price or any installment of interest in order to discharge the Company’s obligations in respect of such payment if, at such time, the rules of the New York Stock Exchange prohibit such deposit with the Trustee.

 (b) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 
  

 35 








 (c) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become
an Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit. 
 (d) In the case of an election under clause (2) of this Section 4.2, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company has received from the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service a letter ruling, or there has been published by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a Revenue Ruling, or (ii) since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax
law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
result of such defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred. 
 (e) In the case of an election under clause (3) of this Section 4.2, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to
federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred. 
 (f) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance or covenant defeasance under clause (2) or
(3) of this Section 4.2 (as the case may be) have been complied with. 
 (g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Section 4.2(4), such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to
Section 3.1. 
 (5) Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Security, if, after a deposit
referred to in Section 4.2(4)(a) has been made, (a) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 3.1 or the terms of such Security to receive payment in a
Currency other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 4.2(4)(a) has been made in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the Foreign Currency in which the deposit pursuant to
Section 4.2(4)(a) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium,
if any), and interest, if any, on, such Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of 

  

 36 








 
any such election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security into the Currency in which such Security becomes payable as a result of
such election or Conversion Event based on (x) in the case of payments made pursuant to clause (a) above, the applicable market exchange rate for such Currency in effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date, or
(y) with respect to a Conversion Event, the applicable market exchange rate for such Foreign Currency in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 4.2(5) and Section 4.3,
the “Trustee”) against any tax, fee or other charge, imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Section 4.2 or the principal or interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax,
fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto. 
 Anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request, any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom)
held by it as provided in clause (4) of this Section 4.2 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the
amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 4.2. 
 Section 4.3 Application of Trust Money. 
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of
Section 10.3, all money and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 3.1) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2 in respect of any Outstanding
Securities of any series and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of
principal (and premium, if any) and interest; but such money and Government Obligations need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Section 4.4 Reinstatement. 
 (1) If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to
apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 4.2(4) by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of the applicable series issued hereunder shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit has occurred pursuant to Section 4.2(4) until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with and as contemplated by Section 4.2(4). 
  

 37 








 (2) If the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of the
applicable series issued hereunder shall be revived and reinstated in accordance with this Section 4.4, the Company shall be permitted, at its discretion to withdraw all or a portion of the deposits made by the Company pursuant to
Section 4.2(4). 
 (3) If the Company elects not to withdraw any of the deposits made by the Company pursuant to
Section 4.2(4), if and when the Trustee or Paying Agent is later permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with and as contemplated by Section 4.2(4), the rights of the Company shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of the Securities of the applicable series to receive payments from the money or Government Obligations deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 4.2(4) and held by the Trustee or Paying Agent; provided that if the
Company shall have made any payment of principal or interest on the Securities of any series because of the revival and reinstatement of its obligations, which payment is not sourced from any amounts deposited by the Company pursuant to
Section 4.2(4) (such amount, in the aggregate, being referred to as the “Company Paid Amount”), the Company shall be permitted, at its discretion, to withdraw all or a portion of the deposits made by the Company pursuant to
Section 4.2(4) up to the Company Paid Amount. 
 ARTICLE 5 
 REMEDIES 
 Section 5.1 Events of Default. 
 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, 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 or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body),
unless such event is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate establishing the terms of such Series pursuant to this Indenture: 
 (1) default in the payment of any interest on any Security of such series when such interest 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 any premium on any Security of
such series when such principal or premium becomes due and payable at their Maturity; or 
 (3) default in the deposit of any
sinking fund or analogous payment when and as due by the terms of a Security of such series; or 
  

 38 








 (4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement of the Company in
this Indenture with respect to any Security of that series (other than a covenant or agreement a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with and other than a covenant or agreement included in
this Indenture solely for the benefit of another series of Securities), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 30 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company
and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default” hereunder; or 
 (5) any event of default, as defined in any mortgage, indenture (including this Indenture),
trust agreement or other instrument securing, evidencing or providing for any evidence of any Indebtedness, which term as used herein means obligations (other than the Securities of such series, Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment

aggregate principal amount exceeding $25,000,000 of such Indebtedness shall have been 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
within a period of 30 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series, a written notice specifying such failure to pay and requiring the Company to cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled or to cause such Indebtedness to be discharged and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”

become due; or 
 (8) any other Event of Default provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Securities of such
series. 
 Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or
(7) of Section 5.1) occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the principal of all the Securities of such series, or such
lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or such lesser
amount shall become immediately due and payable. 
 If an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 5.1
occurs, all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Securities of that series (or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series) shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of any Security of that series. 
 At any time after a declaration of
acceleration with respect to the Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if 
 (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 
 (a) all overdue installments of any interest on all Securities of such series and any Coupon appertaining thereto, 
 (b) the principal of and any premium on any Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, 
  

 40 








 (c) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue
installments of any interest at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and 
 (d) all sums paid or
advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.6; and 
 (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series, other than the non-payment of the principal of, or any premium and
interest, if any, on Securities of such series which shall have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall 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 a 
 (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto when such interest shall have become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 
 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any premium on any Security at its Maturity, 
 the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the whole
amount of money then due and payable with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, with interest upon the overdue principal, any premium and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any
overdue installments of interest, and in addition thereto, such further amount of money as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.6. 
 If the Company shall fail to pay the money it is
required to pay the Trustee pursuant to the preceding paragraph forthwith upon the demand of the Trustee, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the money so due and
unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be
payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, wherever situated. Every recovery of judgment in any such action or other proceeding subject to
the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, its agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of such Securities that shall be the subject of such action or proceeding. 
  

 41 








 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect
and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

Section 5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities of any series or the property of the Company or such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise
and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any overdue principal, premium or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of any applicable
series, of the principal and any premium and interest in respect of the Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including
any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents or counsel) and of the Holders of Securities or any Coupons appertaining thereto allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
 (2) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder
of Securities or any Coupons to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Securities or any Coupons, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.6. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security or any Coupon any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment
or composition affecting the Securities or Coupons or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security or any Coupon in any such proceeding. 
  

 42 








 Section 5.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of Securities or Coupons.

 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Securities or Coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee
without the possession of any of the Securities or Coupons or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any
recovery or judgment, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, shall be for the ratable benefit of each and every Holder of the Securities or Coupons
in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 Section 5.6 Application of Money Collected. 
 Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in
case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities or Coupons, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid: 
 (1) To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under
Section 6.6; 
 (2) To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and any Coupons for principal
and any premium and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities and Coupons for principal and any premium and interest, respectively; 
 (3) The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. 
 Section 5.7 Limitations on Suits. 
 No Holder of any Security of any series or any Coupons appertaining thereto shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any
other remedy hereunder, unless 
 (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of such series; 
 (2) the Holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee such indemnity as is reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
  

 43 








 (4) the Trustee for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
given to the Trustee during such 30-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series; 
 it being
understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Security to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such
Holders or Holders of Securities of any other series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable
benefit of all such Holders. 
 Section 5.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and any Premium and Interest.

 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security or Coupon shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, any premium and (subject to Sections 3.7 and 3.10) interest on such Security or payment of such Coupon, as the case may be, on the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities therefor specified in
such Security or Coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment at the option of such Holder if provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, on the date such repayment is due) and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 5.9 Restoration
of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security or a Coupon has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and each such Holder shall,
subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and each such Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had
been instituted. 
 Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or Coupons in the last
paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to each and every Holder of a Security or a Coupon is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy, to the
extent permitted by law, shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  

 44 








 Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or Coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to any Holder of a Security or a Coupon may be exercised from
time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such Holder, as the case may be. 
 Section 5.12 Control
by Holders of Securities. 
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining
thereto, provided that 
 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or with the
Securities of such series, 
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent
with such direction, and 
 (3) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of the other Holders of Securities of
such series not joining in such action. 
 Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of
such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default 
 (1) in the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on, any Security of such series or any Coupons appertaining thereto, or 
 (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of
each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 5.14 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 
 The Company covenants that (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension
law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which 

  

 45 








 
may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company expressly waives (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) all benefit or
advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 Section 5.15 Undertaking for Costs. 
 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right
or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of any 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 5.15 shall not apply 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 Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or
after the Redemption Date, and, in the case of repayment, on or after the date for repayment) or for the enforcement of the right, if any, to convert or exchange any Security into other securities in accordance with its terms.

 (2) Any request or direction of the Company mentioned
herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order (other than delivery of any Security, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 3.3 which
shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution. 
 (3) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other
evidence shall be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon a Board Resolution, an Opinion of Counsel or an Officers’ Certificate. 
  

 46

Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 
 (5) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
direction of any of the Holders of Securities of any series or any related Coupons pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (6) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its

 47 








 Section 6.2 Notice of Defaults. 
 Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all
Holders of Securities of such series entitled to receive reports pursuant to Section 7.3(3), notice of such default hereunder actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided,
however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), or interest, if any, on, or any sinking fund or purchase fund installment with respect to, any Security of such series, the Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the
best interest of the Holders of Securities and Coupons of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Sections 5.1(4) and 5.1(5) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to
Holders shall be given until such default shall have become an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. For the purpose of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the term “default” means any event that is, or after notice or lapse of
time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

become the owner or pledgee of Securities and Coupons and, subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar,
Authenticating Agent or such other agent.

 Section 6.6 Compensation and Reimbursement. 
 The Company agrees: 
 (1) to
pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to
the compensation of a trustee of an express trust). 
 (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including reasonable compensation and the expenses, advances and disbursements of
its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith.

 To the extent
permitted by law, any compensation or expense incurred by the Trustee after a default specified in or pursuant to Section 5.1 is intended to constitute an expense of administration under any then applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law.
“Trustee” for purposes of this Section 6.6 shall include any predecessor Trustee but the negligence or bad faith of any Trustee shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee under this Section 6.6. 
 The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the
Trustee and shall apply with equal force and effect to the Trustee in its capacity as Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent or Security Registrar. 
 Section 6.7 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a
Corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, that is eligible under Section 310(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an indenture
qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and that has a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least 

  

 49 








 
$50,000,000, and that is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If at any time the Trustee 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 6.8 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
 (1) No
resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.9. 
 (2) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the
Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.9 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series. 
 (3) The Trustee may be
removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and the Company. 
 (4) If at any time: 
 (a) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the obligations imposed upon it under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to Securities of any series after written request therefor by the Company or any Holder of a
Security of such series who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months, or 
 (b) the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.7 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or any such Holder, or 
 (c) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of
the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (i) the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or
the Securities of such series, or (ii) subject to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 (5) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any
cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of such series (it 

  

 50 








 
being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time
there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.9. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of
such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee,
the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.9, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that
extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed within three months after such appointment might have been made hereunder by the
Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.9, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 (6) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and
each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of such series as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register and, if Securities of such series are issued as Bearer Securities, by publishing notice of such event once in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment located outside the United States. Each notice

 Section 6.10 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 
 Any Corporation into which, the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided, that such
Corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Section. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
 Section 6.11 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 
 The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents acceptable to the Company with respect to one or more series of Securities, and which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate
Securities of that or those series issued upon original issue, exchange, registration of transfer, partial redemption or partial repayment or pursuant to Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate
of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.

 Each Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Company and, except as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, shall at all times
be a corporation that would be permitted by the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, is authorized under applicable law and by its charter to act as an Authenticating Agent and has a
combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any Corporation into which an
Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to all
or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such Corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may
resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and the Company. Upon
receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions 

  

 53 








 
of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall (i) mail written notice of
such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent shall serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, and
(ii) if Securities of the series are issued as Bearer Securities, publish notice of such appointment at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the place where such successor Authenticating Agent has its principal office if such office is
located outside the United States. 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. 
 The
Company agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. If the Trustee makes such payments, it shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of
Section 6.6. 
 If an Authenticating Agent is appointed with respect to one or more series of Securities pursuant to this Section, the
Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form: 
 This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

	Authorized Officer


  If all of the Securities of any series may not be originally issued at one time, and if
the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so
requested in writing (which writing need not be accompanied by or contained in an Officers’ Certificate by the Company), shall appoint in accordance with this Section an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by
the Company with respect to such series of Securities. 
 Section 6.12 Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact. 
 The Trustee for each series of Securities is hereby appointed, and each and every Holder of Securities of such series, by receiving and holding the same,
shall be conclusively deemed to have appointed such Trustee, the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Holder, with authority to make or file (whether or not the Company shall be in default in respect of the payment of the 

  

 54 








 
principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on any of the Securities of such series), in its own name as trustee of an express trust or otherwise as it
shall deem advisable, in any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities or to their respective creditors or property, any and all
claims, proofs of claim, proofs of debt, petitions, consents, other papers and documents, and amendments of any thereof, as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Holders of such Securities allowed in any
such proceeding and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to execute and deliver any and all other papers and documents and to do and perform any and all other acts and things, as it may
deem necessary or advisable in order to enforce in any such proceedings any of the claims of such Trustee and of any of such holders in respect of any of the Securities of such series; and any receiver, assignee, custodian, trustee, or debtor in any
such proceedings is hereby authorized, and each and every Holder of the Securities of such series, by receiving and holding the same, shall be conclusively deemed to have authorized any such receiver, assignee, custodian, trustee, or debtor, to make
any such payment or delivery to or on the order of such Trustee, and, in the event that such Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments or deliveries directly to the Holders of the Securities of such series, to pay to such Trustee any
amount due it for compensation and expenses, including counsel fees and expenses, incurred by it down to the date of such payment or delivery; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize or empower such Trustee to
consent to or accept or adopt, on behalf of any Holder of Securities of such series, any plan of reorganization or readjustment of the Company affecting the Securities of such series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize or empower
such Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of any Securities of such series in any such proceedings.

Outstanding shall have consented to such supplemental indenture. No notation on any Security of the fact of such 

  

 60 








 
consent shall be necessary, but any such written consent by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding on all future Holders and owners of
the same Security and of all Securities delivered in exchange therefor, unless revoked in the manner and during the period provided in this Section 9.2.

Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to
the execution of such supplemental indenture have been fulfilled. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

 ARTICLE 10 
 COVENANTS 
 Section 10.1 Payment of Principal, any Premium, Interest. 
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of each series that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of,
and any premium or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series in accordance with the terms thereof, any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Any interest due on any Bearer Security on or before the Maturity thereof, shall be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto for such interest as they severally mature. When and as paid, all Securities of such series shall be cancelled and destroyed in accordance with the Section 3.9
hereof. 
 Section 10.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
 The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an Office or Agency where Securities of such series (but not Bearer
Securities, except as otherwise provided below, unless such Place of Payment is located outside the United States) may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange, where Securities of such series that are convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series relating thereto and this
Indenture may be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company shall maintain, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an Office or Agency in a Place of Payment for such series which is located
outside the United States where Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented and surrendered for payment; provided, however, that if the Securities of such series are listed on The Stock Exchange of the United
Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland or the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company shall maintain a Paying Agent in London, Luxembourg or any other
required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of such series are listed on such exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of
such Office or Agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Office or Agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented and surrendered for payment at the place specified for the purpose with respect to such Securities as
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, no payment of principal, premium or interest with respect to Bearer Securities shall be made at any Office or Agency in the United States or by check
mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States; provided, however, if amounts owing with respect to any Bearer Securities shall be payable in Dollars, payment of principal
of, 

  

 62 








 
any premium or interest on, any such Security may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or any Office or Agency designated by the Company in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, if (but only if) payment of the full amount of such principal, premium or interest at all offices outside the United States maintained for such purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture
is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions, and the Company has delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to that effect. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other Offices or Agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an Office or Agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes.
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other Office or Agency. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company hereby
designates as the Place of Payment for each series of Securities the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially appoint the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as the Office or Agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York for such purpose. The Company may subsequently appoint a different Office or Agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for the Securities of any series. 
 Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, if and so long as the Securities of any series (i) are
denominated in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so
required, at least one exchange rate agent. 
 Section 10.3 Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. 
 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, with respect to any series of Securities, it shall, on or before each due date of the
principal of, any premium or interest on, any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal or any premium or interest so becoming due until such sums
shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it shall, no later than 11:00 am on or prior to each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on, any Securities of
such series, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal or any premium or interest so becoming
due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
  

 63 








 The Company shall cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute
and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent shall: 
 (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on, Securities of such series in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture; 
 (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the making of any
payment of principal, any premium or interest on, Securities of such series; and 
 (3) at any time during the continuance of
any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the
Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such sums. 
 Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto, any money deposited
with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on, any Security of any series or any Coupon appertaining thereto and remaining unclaimed for two years after
such principal or any such premium or interest shall have become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company), unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned
or unclaimed property laws, shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability
of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment for such series or to be mailed to Holders of Registered Securities of such series, or both, notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing nor shall it be later than two years after such principal and any premium or interest shall have become due and
payable, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

 Section 10.4 Limitations on Pledges and Liens. 
 Neither the Company nor any successor corporation will, or will permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed
money secured by a pledge, lien or other encumbrance (except for Permitted Liens, as hereinafter defined) on (i) the Voting Securities (as hereinafter defined) of FBR Capital Markets & Co. or any Subsidiary succeeding to any
substantial part of the business now conducted by that corporation (collectively, the “Principal Subsidiaries”) or (ii) Voting Securities of a Subsidiary that owns, directly or indirectly, Voting Securities of any of the Principal
Subsidiaries (other than directors’ qualifying shares), unless the Company shall cause the Securities to be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the Company’s option, prior to) any indebtedness secured thereby. 
 “Permitted Liens” means liens for taxes or assessments or governmental charges or levies not then due and delinquent or the validity of which
is being contested in good faith or which are less than $1,000,000 in amount, liens created by or resulting from any litigation or legal proceeding which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or which involves claims
of less than $1,000,000, deposits to secure (or in lieu of) surety, stay, appeal or customs bonds and such other liens as the Board of Directors of the Company determines do not materially detract from or interfere with the present value or control
of the Voting Securities subject thereto or affected thereby. “Voting Securities” means stock of any class or classes having general voting power under ordinary circumstances to elect a majority of the board of directors, managers or
trustees of the Subsidiary in question, provided that, for the purposes hereof, stock which carries only the right to vote conditionally on the happening of an event shall not be considered voting stock whether or not such event shall have happened.

 Section 10.5 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 existences and that of each of its Subsidiaries and its rights (charter
and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to preserve any such right or franchise if the Company or any such Subsidiary shall determine that the preservation
thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of such Subsidiary and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to any Holder. 
 Section 10.6 Waiver of Certain Covenants. 
 The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 10.4 of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of any series if, before the time for
such compliance, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by Act of such Holders, either shall waive such compliance in such instance or generally shall have waived compliance with such
term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of
the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. The Company shall obtain and file with the Trustee, before or after the time for such compliance, evidence of the consent of such Holders.

  

 65 








 Section 10.7 Company Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Certain Defaults. 
 (1) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a written statement (which need not be
contained in or accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate) signed by the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Company, stating that 
 (a) a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of its performance under this Indenture has been made under his or her
supervision, and 
 (b) to the best of his or her knowledge, based on such review, the Company has complied with all the
conditions and covenants imposed on it under this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such condition or covenant or agreement, specifying each such default known to him or her and the nature and
status thereof, and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, or, if such an event has occurred and is continuing, specifying each such event known to him
and the nature and status thereof. 
 (2) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within five days after the occurrence
thereof, written notice of any Event of Default or any event which after notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default pursuant to clause (4) of Section 5.1. 
 (3) The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the Company’s compliance with the covenants contained in this Article 10 other than as
specifically set forth in this Section 10.7. 
 ARTICLE 11 
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
 Section 11.1 Applicability of Article. 
 Redemption of Securities of any series at the option of the Company as permitted or required by the terms of such Securities shall be made in accordance
with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto) this Article. 
  

 66 








 Section 11.2 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of
the Company of (a) less than all of the Securities of any series or (b) all of the Securities of any series, with the same issue date, interest rate or formula, Stated Maturity and other terms, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to
the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. 
 Section 11.3 Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed. 
 If less than all of the Securities of any series with the same issue date, interest rate or formula, Stated Maturity and other terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not
more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection
for redemption of portions of the principal amount of Registered Securities of such series; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Registered Security of such series not redeemed to
less than the minimum denomination for a Security of such series established herein or pursuant hereto. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify
the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the
case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any series, if any Security selected for partial redemption is converted into other securities of the Company or exchanged for
securities of another issuer in part before termination of the conversion or exchange right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected
for redemption. Securities which have been converted or exchanged during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection. 
 Section 11.4 Notice of Redemption. 
 Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.6, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to the Holders of
Securities to be redeemed. Failure to give notice by mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Registered Securities designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings far the redemption of any other Securities or portion thereof. 
  

 67 








 Any notice that is mailed to the Holder of any Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall
be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such Holder receives the notice. 
 All notices of redemption shall state:

 (1) the Redemption Date, 
 (2) the Redemption Price, 
 (3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to
be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount) of the particular Security or Securities to be redeemed, 
 (4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder of such Security will
receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, 
 (5) that, on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall become due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof to be redeemed, and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and
after said date, 
 (6) the place or places where such Securities, together (in the case of Bearer Securities) with all
Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and any accrued interest, 
 (7) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, 
 (8) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be
accompanied by all Coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for redemption or the amount of any such missing Coupon or Coupons will be deducted from the Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and
any Paying Agent is furnished, 
 (9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and no Registered Securities of
such series are to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to redemption on the Redemption Date pursuant to Section 3.5 or otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on
which such exchanges may be made, 
 (10) in the case of Securities of any series that are convertible into Common Stock of
the Company or exchangeable for other securities, the conversion or exchange price or rate, the date or dates on which the right to convert or exchange the principal of the Securities of such series to be redeemed will commence or terminate and the
place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, and 
  

 68 








 (11) the CUSIP number or the Euroclear or Cedel reference numbers of such Securities, if
any (or any other numbers used by a Depository to identify such Securities). 
 A notice of redemption published as contemplated by
Section 1.6 need not identify particular Registered Securities to be redeemed. 
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at
the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 
 Section 11.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall
deposit, with respect to the Securities of any series called for redemption pursuant to Section 11.4, with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in
Section 10.3) an amount of money in the applicable Currency sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 or in the
Securities of such series) any accrued interest on, all such Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 11.6 Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the
Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest)
such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the Coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in
accordance with said notice, together with all Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with any accrued interest to the Redemption Date;
provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Bearer Securities of such series, installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of Coupons for such interest (at an Office or Agency located outside the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2), and provided, further, that, except as otherwise specified in or
pursuant to this Indenture or the Registered Securities of such series, installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the Regular Record Dates therefor according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7. 
 If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount
equal to the face amount of all such missing Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to 

  

 69 








 
save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such
missing Coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that any interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an Office or Agency for such Security located outside of the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium until paid, shall bear
interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 
 Section 11.7 Securities Redeemed in Part.

 Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at any Office or Agency for such Security (with, if the
Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, containing identical terms and provisions, of any authorized denomination as
requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. If a Security in global form is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the U.S. Depository or other Depository for such Security in global form as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, without service charge, a new Security in global form in a
denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security in global form so surrendered. 
 Section 11.8 Cancellation and Destruction of Securities. 
 All Securities redeemed and paid pursuant to the provisions
of this Article 11 shall be cancelled and destroyed, as provided in Section 3.9, and, except in the case of partial redemption of any Security, no Security shall be issued under this Indenture in lieu thereof. 
 ARTICLE 12 
 SINKING FUNDS 
 Section 12.1 Applicability of Article. 
 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise permitted or required in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Security of such series issued pursuant
to this Indenture. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred
to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such 

  

 70 








 
series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of
any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series and this
Indenture. 
 Section 12.2 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 
 The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any series to be made pursuant to the
terms of such Securities (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any of such Securities previously called for redemption or any of such Securities in respect of which cash shall have been released to the Company), together
in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto, and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of
such series of Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such series of Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be
received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If, as a result
of the delivery or credit of Securities of any series in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 12.2, the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed in order to satisfy the remaining sinking fund payment shall be less
than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such series for redemption, except upon Company Request, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall at the request of the Company from time to time pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee
of Securities of that series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment requested to be released to the Company. 
 Section 12.3 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 
 Not less than 75 days prior to each
sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next, ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that
series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to Section 12.2, and the optional
amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so credited and not theretofore delivered. If such Officers’ Certificate shall specify an optional
amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 60 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select
the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.3 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
Section 11.4. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 11.6 and 11.7. 
  


 71 








 ARTICLE 13 
 REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS 
 Section 13.1 Applicability of Article. 
 Securities of any series which are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their Stated Maturity shall be repaid in accordance with the
terms of the Securities of such series. The repayment of any principal amount of Securities pursuant to such option of the Holder to require repayment of Securities before their Stated Maturity, for purposes of Section 3.9, shall not operate as
a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the Company, at its option, shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee with a directive that such Securities be cancelled.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.1, in connection with any repayment of Securities, the Company may arrange for the purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other
purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Holders of such Securities on or before the close of business on the repayment date an amount not less than the repayment price payable by the Company on repayment of such Securities, and the
obligation of the Company to pay the repayment price of such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such payment is so paid by such purchasers. 
 ARTICLE 14 
 SECURITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES 
 Section 14.1 Applicability of Article. 
 Whenever this Indenture provides for (1) any action by, or the determination of any of the rights of, Holders of Securities of any series in which not all of such Securities are denominated in the same Currency, or (ii) any
distribution to Holders of Securities, in the absence of any provision to the contrary in the form of Security of any particular series or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities, any amount in respect of any Security denominated in a Currency
other than Dollars shall be treated for any such action or distribution as that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount on such reasonable basis of exchange and as of the record date with respect to Registered Securities of such
series (if any) for such action, determination of rights or distribution (or, if there shall be no applicable record date, such other date reasonably proximate to the date of such action, determination of rights or distribution) as the Company may
specify in a written notice to the Trustee.

 (1) The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series for any purpose specified in Section 15.1, to
be held at such time and at such place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or, if Securities of such series have been issued in whole or in part as Bearer Securities, in London or in such place outside the United States as the Trustee

series or all series, respectively, for any purpose specified in Section 15.1, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed notice of or made the
first publication of the notice of such meeting within 21 days after receipt of such request (whichever shall be required pursuant to Section 1.6) or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then the
Company or the Holders of Securities of such series in the amount above specified, as the case may be, may determine the time and the place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or, if Securities of such series are to be issued as
Bearer Securities, in London for such meeting and may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in clause (1) of this Section.

 73 








 Section 15.4 Quorum; Action. 
 The Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the relevant series shall constitute a quorum for
any meeting of Holders of Securities of such series. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes after the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities of such series, be dissolved. In
any other case the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any reconvened meeting, such reconvened meeting
may be further adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such reconvened meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in
Section 15.2(1), except that such notice need be given only once not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state expressly the
percentage, as provided above, of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series which shall constitute a quorum. 
 Except as limited by the proviso to Section 9.2, any resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; provided, however, that, except as limited by the proviso to Section 9.2, any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act which this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series may be adopted at a
meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series. 
 Except as limited by the proviso to Section 9.2, any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly

of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities
shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.4 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.4 or by having the signature of the person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any
trust company, bank or banker authorized by Section 1.4 to certify to the holding of Bearer Securities. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without
the proof specified in Section 1.4 or other proof. 
  

 74 








 (2) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the
meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 15.2(2), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in
like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented
at the meeting.
