 THE SECURITIES 
 Section 2.01. Form and Dating. The Securities of each series shall be substantially in such form or forms (not inconsistent with this Indenture) as shall be established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or
in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such
legend or legends or endorsements, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, as may be required to comply with any law, or with any rules of any securities exchange or usage, all as may be determined by the officers executing such
Securities as evidenced by their execution of the Securities. Unless otherwise so established, Unregistered Securities shall have coupons attached. 
 Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. An Officer shall execute the Securities and the coupons appertaining thereto, if any, for the Company by facsimile or manual signature, which may be imprinted or otherwise
reproduced on the Securities, in the name and on behalf of the Company. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security or coupon appertaining thereto no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security and such coupon
shall nevertheless be valid. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) to authenticate
Securities. The Authenticating Agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall
be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times meet the qualifications of the Trustee required by Article 7 of this Indenture. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the previous sentence, such
Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately. 
  

 11 








 If an Authenticating Agent consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act shall be an Authenticating Agent under this
Indenture with the same effect as if the successor Authenticating Agent had been appointed as an Authenticating Agent as provided herein, provided such successor shall otherwise be eligible to be an Authenticating Agent under this Indenture.

 A Security and the coupons appertaining thereto shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture until the Trustee or Authenticating Agent executes the certificate of authentication on the Security or on the Security to which such coupon appertains by an authorized officer. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security
or the Security to which the coupon appertains has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. 
 At any time and from time
to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series having attached thereto appropriate coupons, if any, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication together with the applicable
documents referred to below in this Section, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Securities to or upon the written order of the Company, signed by an Officer, or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee,
without any further action by the Company. In authenticating such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive prior to the authentication of any Securities of such series each of the following, and (subject to Article 7) shall be fully
protected in relying upon, unless and until such documents have been superseded or revoked: 
 (a) any Board Resolution and/or
executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 2.01 and 2.03 by or pursuant to which the forms and terms of the Securities of that series were established; 
 (b) an Officers’ Certificate stating that all covenants and conditions precedent to the execution, authentication and delivery of the
Securities have been complied with, and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and setting forth the form or forms and terms of the Securities, stating that the form or forms and terms of the Securities of such series have
been, or, in the case of a Periodic Offering, will be when established in accordance with such procedures as shall be referred to therein, established in compliance with this Indenture; and 
 (c) an Opinion of Counsel substantially to the following effect, which Opinion of Counsel may contain such assumptions, qualifications and
limitations as such counsel shall reasonably deem appropriate: (i) the form or forms and terms of the Securities of such series have been, or, in the case of a Periodic Offering, will be when established in accordance with such procedures as
shall be referred to therein, established in compliance with this Indenture and the supplemental indenture, to the extent applicable, and (ii) the Indenture and such Securities have been duly authorized and, if executed and authenticated in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered and duly paid for, will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and will 

  

 12 








 
constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, enforceable against the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor
in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforceability is considered in a proceeding of equity or law). 
 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the
Trustee reasonably determines that 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 in any material respect or may not be lawfully taken.

 Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.01 and this Section 2.02, if, in connection with a Periodic Offering, all Securities of
a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Board Resolution otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.01 or the written order, Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel otherwise
required pursuant to this Section 2.02 at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

 With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any
of such Securities, the forms and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 and this Section 2.02, as
applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series. 
 If the Company shall establish pursuant to or as
contemplated by Section 2.03 that the Securities of a series or a portion thereof are to be issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or
more Registered Global Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all of the Securities of such series issued in such form and not yet
cancelled, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Registered Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such
Depositary’s instructions and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “THIS SECURITY IS A REGISTERED GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF
A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE AND, UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS
EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE REGISTERED FORM, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO THE NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER
NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.”

Resolution to such effect;

shall be payable and (in the case of Registered Securities) on which a record shall be taken for the determination of Holders to whom interest is payable and/or the method by which such rate or rates or date or dates shall be determined; 

(e) if other than as provided in Section 4.02, the place or places where the principal of, premium, if any, and any interest, if
any, on Securities of the series shall be payable, any Registered Securities of the series may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, notices, demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of the series and this
Indenture may be served and notice to Holders may be published; 
 (f) the right, if any, of the Company to redeem Securities

series are denominated, the manner in which such amounts shall be determined;

States of America, the currency or currencies or currency unit or units, including composite currencies, in which payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of the series shall be payable, and the manner in

additional Paying Agents or transfer agents with respect to any series.

any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act that relate to such Agent. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address of any
Agent and any change in the name or address of an Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company may remove any Agent upon written notice to such Agent and the Trustee; provided that
no such removal shall become effective until (i) the acceptance of an appointment by a successor Agent to such Agent as evidenced by an appropriate agency agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Agent and delivered to the
Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as such Agent until the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with clause (i) of this proviso. The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying

Authenticating Agent. If, at any time, the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Registrar shall make available to the Trustee ten days prior to each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request the names and
addresses of the Holders as they appear in the Security Register. 
 Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of
(and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 2.13) interest on such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the bearer of any Unregistered Security and the bearer of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever,
whether or not such Unregistered Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests, or any notice which is permitted or required to
be given under the Indenture, any consent given or other action taken by the Depositary as Registered Holder, or any selection by the Depositary of any Person to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or other amounts payable on the
Securities.

Holders of such Securities or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest or premium, if any, on such Securities and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any Default by the Company in making any such
payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Payment Default, upon written request to a
Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. If the Company or
any Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of any principal, interest or premium on any Securities, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders thereof a sum of money
sufficient to pay such principal, interest or premium so becoming due until such sum of money 

  

 18 








 
shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its action or
failure to act as required by this Section 2.06. 
 Section 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. Unregistered Securities
(except for any temporary global Unregistered Securities) and coupons (except for coupons attached to any temporary global Unregistered Securities) shall be transferable by delivery. 
 At the option of the Holder thereof, Registered Securities of any series (other than a Registered Global Security, except as set forth below) may be
exchanged for a Registered Security or Registered Securities of such series and like tenor, of any authorized denominations and like aggregate principal amount and maturity, upon surrender of such Registered Securities to be exchanged at the agency
of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 2.05 and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. If the Securities of any series are issued in both registered and
unregistered form, except as otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.03, at the option of the Holder thereof, Unregistered Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized
denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.02, with, in the case of
Unregistered Securities that have coupons attached, all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. At the option of the Holder
thereof, if Unregistered Securities of any series, maturity date, interest rate and Original Issue Date are issued in more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.03, such Unregistered Securities
may be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be
maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.02, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have coupons attached, all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the
Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. Registered Securities of any series may not be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 Upon surrender
for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of a series at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for that purpose in accordance with Section 2.05 and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges
hereinafter provided, 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, of any authorized denominations and
of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and maturity. 
 All Registered Securities presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Company or Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the 

  

 19 








 
Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or
registration of transfer of Securities. No service charge shall be made for any such transaction. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section 2.07, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, a Registered Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a
whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series
or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 If at any time the Depositary for any Registered Global Securities of any series notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Registered Global Securities or if at any time the Depositary for such Registered Global Securities shall no longer be eligible under applicable law, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Depositary eligible under applicable law with respect to such Registered Global Securities. If a successor Depositary eligible under applicable law for such Registered Global Securities is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the Company’s order for the authentication and delivery of
definitive Registered Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, as specified in such order, Registered Securities of such series in definitive form, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Registered
Global Securities, in exchange for such Registered Global Securities. 
 The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine
that any Registered Global Securities of any series shall no longer be maintained in global form. In such event, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the Company’s order for the authentication and delivery of definitive
Registered Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, as specified in such order, Registered Securities of such series in definitive form, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Registered Global
Securities, in exchange for such Registered Global Securities. 
 Any time the Registered Securities of any series are not in the form of
Registered Global Securities pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, the Company agrees to supply the Trustee with a reasonable supply of certificated Registered Securities without the legend required by Section 2.02 and the Trustee agrees to
hold such Registered Securities in safekeeping until authenticated and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
 If established
by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to any Registered Global Security, the Depositary for such Registered Global Security may surrender such Registered Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for Registered Securities
of the same series in definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such 
  

 20 








 
Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, 
 (a) to each Person specified by such Depositary, new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations as
requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Registered Global Security; and 
 (b) to such Depositary, a new Registered Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount
of the surrendered Registered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause (a) above. 
 Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Registered Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Registered
Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.
The Registered Global Security exchanged shall be cancelled by the Trustee. 
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein or in the forms or terms of any Securities to the contrary, none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company
or the Trustee shall be required to exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security if such exchange would result in adverse federal income tax consequences to the Company (such as, for example, the inability of the Company to deduct
from its income, as computed for federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on the Unregistered Securities) under then applicable United States federal income tax laws. The Trustee and any such agent shall be entitled to rely on an
Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel in determining such result. 
 The Company shall not be required (i) to issue,
register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any particular series during the period from the opening of business 15 days before the day a notice of redemption relating to such Securities selected for redemption is sent to the close of
business on the day that notice is sent, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or part, except for the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
 Section 2.08. Replacement Securities. If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is
surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for such mutilated Security or in exchange for the Security to which a mutilated coupon appertains, a new Security of the same series
and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such mutilated Security or to the Security to which such mutilated coupon appertains.

  

 21 








 If there shall 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 hold each of them and any agent of any 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 the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such 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 and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons
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. 
 In case any such 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 (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security or coupon) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, and in the case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee and any agent of them of the destruction, loss or
theft of such Security and the ownership thereof; provided, however, that the principal of, premium, if any, and any interest on Unregistered Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.02, be payable only at an office or agency
located outside the United States. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any series, with its coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in
exchange for any mutilated Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and any such new Security and coupons, if any, shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series and their coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons. 
 Section 2.09. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities that have been authenticated by the
Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those described in this Section as not outstanding and those that have been defeased pursuant to Section 8.05. 
  

 22 








 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless and until the
Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a holder in due course. 
 If the Paying
Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the maturity date or any redemption date or date for repurchase of the Securities money sufficient to pay Securities payable or to be redeemed or repurchased on that date, then
on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue. 
 A Security does not cease to be
outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds such Security unless cancelled pursuant to Section 2.11, provided, however, that, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Securities
have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether
the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice to be so owned shall be so
disregarded. Any Securities so owned which are pledged by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, as security for loans or other obligations, otherwise than to another such Affiliate of the Company, shall be deemed to be outstanding, if the
pledgee is entitled to act with respect to such Securities. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the
outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding shall be the amount of the
principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02. 
 Section 2.10. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities of any series are ready for delivery, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities of
such series. Temporary Securities of any series shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities of such series but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the Officers executing
the temporary Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Securities. If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.

 After preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive
Securities of such series upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of such series and tenor and authorized denominations. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 
  

 23 








 Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Company or one of its Affiliates at any time may
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company or one of its Affiliates may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any
Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. The Registrar, any transfer agent and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee shall promptly cancel and dispose of in accordance with its customary procedures all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and upon written request shall deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company.
The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.12. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” and “CINS” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall, as a convenience, use CUSIP numbers or
CINS numbers, as the case may be, in notices to Holders and no representation shall be made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice, and reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Securities. 
 Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a
payment of interest on the Securities of any series, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date,
in each case at the rate provided in the Securities and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Security of the applicable series and the date of the
proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15
days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the
related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
 Section 2.14. Series May Include Tranches. A series of
Securities may include one or more tranches (each a “tranche”) of Securities, including Securities issued in a Periodic Offering. The Securities of different tranches may have one or more different terms, including authentication dates and
public offering prices, but all the Securities within each such tranche shall have identical terms, including authentication date and public offering price. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, with respect to Sections 2.02 (other
than the fourth, sixth and seventh paragraphs thereof) through 2.04, 2.07, 2.08, 2.10, 3.01 through 3.05, 4.02, 6.01 through 6.14, 8.01 through 8.06, Section 9.02 through 9.04 and 11.08, if any series of Securities includes more than one
tranche, all provisions of such sections applicable to any series of Securities shall be deemed equally applicable to each tranche of any series of Securities in the same manner as though originally designated a series unless otherwise provided with
respect to such series or tranche pursuant to Section 2.03. In particular, and without limiting the scope of the next preceding sentence, any of the provisions of such sections which provide for or permit action to be taken with respect to a
series of Securities shall also be deemed to provide for and permit such action to be taken instead only with respect to Securities 

  

 24 








 
of one or more tranches within that series (and such provisions shall be deemed satisfied thereby), even if no comparable action is taken with respect to
Securities in the remaining tranches of that series. 
 ARTICLE 3 
 REDEMPTION 
 Section 3.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions
of this Article 3 shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable before their maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03
for Securities of such series. 
 Section 3.02. Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of redemption to the
Holders of Registered Securities of any series to be redeemed as a whole or in part at the option of the Company shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption to such Holders of Registered Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the registry books. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Unregistered Securities of any series to be
redeemed as a whole or in part who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption, by first class mail, postage prepaid, at
least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee (and, in the case of any such notice given by the Company, the Trustee shall make such information
available to the Company for such purpose). Notice of redemption to all other Holders of Unregistered Securities of any series to be redeemed as a whole or in part shall be published in an Authorized Newspaper, once in each of three successive
calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice which is mailed or published in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series. 
 The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the
principal amount of each Security of such series held by such Holder to be redeemed, the CUSIP numbers of the Securities to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation
thereof, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities and, in the case of Securities with coupons attached thereto, of all coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for
redemption, that such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if such be the case, that interest accrued to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such notice and that on and
after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue and that such Securities subject to such redemption shall cease to be outstanding and the Holders thereof shall have no rights with respect thereto other
than the right to receive the redemption price upon presentment and surrender. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall
state that on and after the date fixed for 

  

 25 








 
redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be
issued. 
 The notice of redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed at the option 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. 
 On or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on
the redemption date or, in the case of Unregistered Securities, on or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.06) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date
all the Securities of such series so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to, but excluding the date fixed for redemption. If all of the outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee at least 10 days prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given to Holders pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.02 (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the
Trustee) an Officers’ Certificate stating that all such Securities are to be redeemed. If less than all the outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee at least 10 days (or such lesser number
of days as the Trustee shall approve) prior to last date on which notice of redemption may be given to Holders pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.02 (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) an Officers’
Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or
elsewhere in this Indenture, or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, not later than the
giving of any notice of redemption to Holders pursuant to this Section, an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition. 
 If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, and if the Securities are held by a Depositary, the applicable operational procedures of the Depositary for selection of Securities for redemption will
apply. If the Securities are not held by a Depositary, the Trustee shall select, pro rata, by lot or in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, Securities of such series or portions thereof to be redeemed in whole or in part. Securities
may be redeemed in part in principal amounts equal to authorized denominations for Securities of such series. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and Paying Agent in writing of the Securities of such series or portions thereof selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the
redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 Section 3.03. Payment Of Securities Called For Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or
portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the 

  

 26 








 
applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, and on and after such date (unless the Company
shall default in the payment of such Securities or portions thereof at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to, but excluding, such date) any interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease
to accrue, and the unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be void and, except as provided in Sections 7.12 and 8.02, such Securities shall be deemed not to be outstanding and shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to
be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. On presentation
and surrender of such Securities at a place of payment specified in said notice, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid
and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption; provided that payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption
shall be payable in the case of Securities with coupons attached thereto to the Holders of the coupons for such interest upon surrender thereof, and in the case of Registered Securities, to the Holders of such Registered Securities registered as
such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 2.04 and 2.13 hereof. 
 If any Security called for
redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original
Issue Discount Security) borne by such Security. 
 If any Security with coupons attached thereto is surrendered for redemption and is not
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the date fixed for redemption, the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee, if there be furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as
they may require to save each of them harmless. 
 Upon presentation and surrender of any Security of any series redeemed in part only, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of such series (with any unmatured coupons attached), of authorized
denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented. 
 Section 3.04. Exclusion of
Certain Securities from Eligibility for Selection for Redemption. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in a written statement signed by an
Officer of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at least 40 days prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by, either (a) the Company or
(b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement as being an Affiliate of the Company. 
 Section 3.05.
Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to 

  

 27 








 
as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of the Securities of any
series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. The date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the “sinking fund payment date”. 
 In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any series of Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at
its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or receive credit for the principal amount of Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore
purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.11, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant
to this Section or (c) receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Company at the option of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through any optional sinking fund payment pursuant
to the terms of such Securities. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities and the amount of mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly. 
 On or before the sixtieth day next preceding each sinking fund payment date for any series, or such shorter period as shall
be acceptable to the Trustee, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate (a) specifying the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion to be satisfied by credit
of specified Securities of such series and the basis for such credit and (b) stating whether or not the Company intends to exercise its right to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series. Any Securities of such series to
be credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the Company to be entitled to credit therefor as aforesaid which have not theretofore been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant to
Section 2.11 to the Trustee with such Officers’ Certificate (or reasonably promptly thereafter if acceptable to the Trustee). Such Officers’ Certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by the Trustee the Company shall become
obligated to make all the cash payments, delivery of Securities or crediting therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Company, on or before any such sixtieth day, to deliver such
Officers’ Certificate and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a Default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Company (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for
such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Company shall make no optional sinking fund
payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section. 
 If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) to be
made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000 or the equivalent in foreign currency if to be paid out in such currency (or a lesser sum
if the Company shall so request with respect to the Securities of any series), such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption price thereof
together with accrued interest thereon to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $50,000 (or such lesser sum) or less and the Company makes no such request 

  

 28 








 
then it shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $50,000 (or such lesser sum) is available. If the Securities are held by a Depositary, the applicable
operational procedures of the Depositary for selection of Securities for redemption will apply. If the Securities are not held by a Depositary, the Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 3.02, for redemption on such sinking
fund payment date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be, and shall (if requested in writing by the Company) inform the Company of the serial numbers of the Securities of such series (or
portions thereof) so selected. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for redemption under this Section if they are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least 60 days
prior to the sinking fund payment date as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Company or (b) an entity specifically identified in such Officers’ Certificate as being an
Affiliate of the Company. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company (or the Company, if it shall so request the Trustee in writing) shall cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series to be given in substantially the
manner provided in Section 3.02 (and with the effect provided in Section 3.03) for the redemption of Securities of such series in part at the option of the Company. The amount of any sinking fund payments not so applied or allocated to the
redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking fund moneys held on
the stated maturity date of the Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if such maturity is accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be applied, together with other moneys,
if necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities of such series at maturity. 
 On or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on each sinking fund payment date or, in the case of Unregistered Securities, 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the sinking fund payment date, the
Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide for the payment of all interest accrued to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption on Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on the next following sinking fund payment
date. 
 The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of
redemption of Securities of such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a Default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default except that, where the mailing of notice of redemption of any
Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Company a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking
fund for such series at the time when any such Default or Event of Default shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such Default or Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under
Article 6 and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 6.04 or the Default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the sinking fund payment date in any year,
such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to the redemption of such Securities.

 ARTICLE 4 
 COVENANTS 
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03, the covenants contained in this
Article 4 shall be applicable to the Securities of any series. 
 Section 4.01. Payment of Securities. The Company shall
pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of a series on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities of that series and this Indenture. The interest on Securities with coupons attached (together with
any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. The interest on
any temporary Unregistered Securities (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be paid, as to the installments of interest evidenced by coupons attached thereto, if any, only upon presentation and
surrender thereof, and, as to the other installments of interest, if any, only upon presentation of such Unregistered Securities for notation thereon of the payment of such interest. The interest on Registered Securities (together with any
additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only to the Holders thereof (subject to Section 2.04) and at the option of the Company may be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the
written order of such Holders at their last addresses as they appear on the Security Register of the Company. 
 Notwithstanding any
provisions of this Indenture and the Securities of any series to the contrary, if the Company and a Holder of any Registered Security so agree, payments of interest on, premium, if any, and any portion of the principal of, such Holder’s
Registered Security shall be made by the Paying Agent, upon receipt from the Company of immediately available funds by 11:00 A.M., New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed to between the Company and the Paying Agent), directly to the
Holder of such Security (by Federal funds wire transfer or otherwise) if the Holder has delivered written instructions to the Trustee 15 days prior to such payment date requesting that such payment will be so made and designating the bank account to
which such payments shall be so made and in the case of payments of principal, surrenders the same to the Trustee in exchange for a Security or Securities aggregating the same principal amount as the unredeemed principal amount of the Securities
surrendered. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the last instruction delivered by the Holder pursuant to this Section 4.01 unless a new instruction is delivered 15 days prior to a payment date. The Company shall indemnify and hold each of
the Trustee and any Paying Agent harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from any act or omission to act on the part of the Company or any such Holder in connection with any such agreement or from
making any payment in accordance with any such agreement. 
 Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall
maintain an office or agency where Securities of any series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series
and this Indenture may be served. The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as such office or agency of the Company. The Company shall 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 

  

 30 








 
fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails 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. 
 The Company may maintain one or more agencies in a city or
cities located outside the United States (including any city in which such an agency is required to be maintained under the rules of any stock exchange on which the Securities of any series are listed) where the Unregistered Securities, if any, of
each series and coupons, if any, appertaining thereto may be presented for payment. No payment on any Unregistered Security or coupon shall be made upon presentation of such Unregistered Security or coupon at an agency of the Company within the
United States nor shall any payment be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an address in, the United States unless, pursuant to applicable United States laws and regulations then in effect, such payment can be made without adverse tax
consequences to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if full payment in United States Dollars (“Dollars”) at each agency maintained by the Company outside the United States for payment on such Unregistered Securities or coupons
appertaining thereto is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions, payments in Dollars of Unregistered Securities of any series and coupons appertaining thereto which are payable in Dollars may be made at an
agency of the Company. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of any
series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office
or agency 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. 
 Section 4.03. Compliance Certificate. (a) The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor
is so required under the Trust Indenture Act) shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the
preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such
Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of
the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to
take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of, premium or interest, if any, on the Securities is prohibited or if
such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (b) So long as any of the Securities of any series are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any 

  

 31 








 
Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default, what action the Company is taking or proposes to take
with respect thereto and whether the Securities are listed on any exchange. 
 Section 4.04. Taxes. The Company will pay,
and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is
not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Securities. 
 Section 4.05. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The
Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury
law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives
all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law has been enacted. 
 Section 4.06. Securityholders’ Lists. The Company shall furnish or cause to
be furnished to the Trustee a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the holders of the Securities pursuant to Section 312 of the Trust Indenture Act (a) not more than 15 days after each
record date for the payment of interest on the Securities, as hereinabove specified, as of such record date, and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within thirty days after receipt by the Company of any such request
as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished; provided, however, in each case that so long as the Trustee shall be the Registrar, such lists shall not be required to be furnished. 
 Section 4.07. Reports by the Company. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants to file with the Trustee, within 15 days
after the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor is required to file with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports which the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor is required to file with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute
notice or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the
Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates or certificates delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.03). 
 Section 4.08. Additional Amounts. If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of additional amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first interest payment date with respect to that series of Securities and at
least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of that series if there has been a change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the
Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such 

  

 32 








 
Paying Agent whether such payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of the Securities
of that series without withholding or deduction for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding or deduction shall be required, then such Officers’
Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld or deducted on such payments to such Holders and shall certify the fact that additional amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable to each Holder, and the
Company shall pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional amounts required to be paid by this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section. 
 Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or any other amounts on, or
in respect of, any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided by the terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context,
additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding the payment of
additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
 Section 4.09. Limitation on Mortgages
and Liens. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, creates, incurs, issues, assumes, guarantees or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively
“incur”) any Indebtedness secured by a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) upon any Principal Property or upon the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary (in each case, now owned or hereafter acquired), the Company will secure the
Securities on an equal and ratable basis with the Indebtedness so secured, unless the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries that is secured by Liens (other than Permitted Liens) on any
Principal Property or upon the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary (in each case, now owned or hereafter acquired) plus the amount of all outstanding Attributable Debt incurred pursuant to clause (a) of Section 4.11 would not exceed 10% of
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets calculated as of the date of the creation or incurrence of the Lien. 
 Section 4.10.
Corporate Existence. Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect: 
 (a) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the
respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary; and 
 (b) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; 
  

 33 








 provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the
corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Securities. 
 Section 4.11.
Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction; provided that the Company or any Subsidiary may enter into a Sale and
Leaseback Transaction if: 
 (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all outstanding Attributable Debt with
respect to all such transactions, plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness secured by a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) upon any Principal Property or upon the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary (in each case, now owned or hereafter acquired)
incurred without equally and ratably securing the Securities pursuant to the covenant entitled “Limitation on Mortgages and Liens” would not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets calculated at the time of the transaction; or

 (b) within 120 days after such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the Company or such Subsidiary applies an amount equal to
the greater of the net proceeds of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and the Fair Market Value at the time of the transaction of the Principal Property so leased to the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 Section 4.12. Future Subsidiary Guarantors. The Company shall not permit any of its Domestic Subsidiaries to, directly
or indirectly, guarantee any Person’s Obligations under the Credit Agreement unless such Subsidiary is a Subsidiary Guarantor or concurrently executes a supplemental indenture and a Note Guarantee. 
 Section 4.13. Waiver Of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or
condition set forth in Sections 4.09, 4.11, 4.12 and clause (d) of Section 5.01, except as otherwise specifically provided therein (and, if so specified pursuant to Section 2.03, any other covenant not set forth herein and specified
pursuant to Section 2.03 to be applicable to the Securities of any series, except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.03), with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series shall, by act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such
waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent expressly so waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term,
provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
 ARTICLE 5 
 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE OF ASSETS 
  

 34 








 Section 5.01. Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets by the Company. The Company
shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation) or (ii) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of
the properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless: 
 (a) either: 
 (i) the Company is the surviving corporation; or 
 (ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; 
 (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or the Person to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; 
 (c) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and 
 (d) the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such transaction and any supplemental indenture entered into in
connection therewith comply with all of the terms of this covenant and that all conditions precedent provided for in this covenant relating to such transaction or series of transactions have been complied with. 
 In addition, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person. This Section 5.01 will not apply to: 
 (a) a merger of
the Company with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction; or 
 (b) any
consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Company and its Subsidiaries. 
 Section 5.02. Successor Corporation Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
properties or assets of the Company in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or 

  

 35 








 
into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be
substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the
successor Person and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that the predecessor
Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities except in the case of a sale of all of the Company’s assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with
the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof. 
 ARTICLE 6 
 DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 
 Section 6.01. Events of Default. Each of the
following is an “Event of Default” with respect to the Securities of any series (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law, pursuant to any
judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): 
 (a)
Default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Securities of such series; or

 (d) Default
under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, if that Default: 
 (i) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such Default (a
“Payment Default”), or 
 (ii) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express
maturity, 
 and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such
Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment 

  

 36 








 
Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $75.0 million or more; or 
 (e) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken
together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law: 
 (i) commences a

Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 
 (ii) appoints a custodian
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or

 (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of
the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; 
 and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60
consecutive days; or 
 (g) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee of the Securities of such series is held
in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under
its Note Guarantee of the Securities of such series; or 
 (h) any other Event of Default established pursuant to
Section 2.03 with respect to the Securities of such series occurs. 
  

 37 








 Section 6.02. Acceleration. In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause
(e) or (f) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary, all outstanding Securities of any series will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series then outstanding occurs and is continuing,
then, and in each and every such case, except for any series of Securities the principal of which shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
any such series then outstanding hereunder (each such series treated as a separate class) by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of any such
series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 2.03) of all Securities of such series, and the interest accrued thereon, if
any, and premium, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. 
 The foregoing provision, however, is subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof
established pursuant to Section 2.03) of the Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) shall have been so declared or become due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due
shall have been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all overdue installments of interest or other payments with respect to coupons on all the Securities of
each such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) and the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any and all Securities of each such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise
than by such declaration and acceleration (with interest upon such overdue installments of interest or other payments with respect principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue
installments of interest or other payments with respect to coupons on all Securities of each series, at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of
each such series to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover all amounts owing the Trustee under Section 7.07, and if any and all Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the non-payment of
the principal of Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the then
outstanding Securities of all such series that have been accelerated (voting as a single class), by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults with respect to all such series (or with respect to all the Securities, as
the case may be) and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. 
 For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared
or become due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all
purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be 

  

 38 








 
due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such
acceleration, together with interest or premium, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities. 
 Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may pursue, in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of such series or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Securities of such series or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. 
 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.
Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.07 and Section 9.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series affected (voting as a single class), by notice to the Trustee, may, on behalf of the Holders of
all of the Securities of such series, waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series and its consequences, except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium or interest, if any,
on any Security as specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 or in respect of a covenant or provision of this Indenture which 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 with respect to the Securities of such series arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture and the
Company, Trustee and Holders restored to their former position and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 Section 6.05. Control by Majority. Subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02(e), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Securities of any series affected (voting as a single class) may 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 by this Indenture; provided, that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability or that the Trustee determines in
good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction; and provided further, that the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any directions received from
Holders of Securities pursuant to this Section 6.05. 
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security
of any series may institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, in equity or at law, with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such series, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

 39 








 (b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities
of such series affected shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute such proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liabilities or
expenses to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (e) during such 60-day period, the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such affected series have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request. 
 A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Holder. 

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder
of a Security to receive payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on such Holder’s Security on or after the respective due dates expressed on such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.08. Collection Suit
by Trustee. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in clause 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and
as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount (or such portion thereof as specified in the terms established pursuant to Section 2.03 of Original Issue Discount Securities) of principal of, premium, if any, and accrued
interest remaining unpaid on, together with interest on overdue principal specified in such Securities, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all amounts owing the Trustee under Section 7.07, except for such amounts arising
out of the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith. 
 Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file
such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any moneys, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or
exchange of the Securities or upon any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to
make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it under Section 7.07, except for such amounts arising out of the
Trustee’s negligence or bad faith. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to 

  

 40 








 
empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.10. Application of Proceeds. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6 in respect of the Securities of
any series, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 FIRST: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts
due under Section 7.07 with respect to such series of Securities, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
 SECOND: to Holders of Securities of the applicable series for amounts due and unpaid on such Securities for principal, premium, and
interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such series for principal, premium, and interest, respectively; and 
 THIRD: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Securities pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then, and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 6.12. Undertaking for Costs. 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, in either case in respect to the Securities of any series, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court
may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply
to a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.06, a suit instituted by the Trustee or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series. 
 Section 6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Securities in Section 2.08, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The 

  

 41 








 
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate
right or remedy. 
 Section 6.14. Delay or Omission not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder 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. Subject to Section 6.06, every right and remedy given by this
Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 ARTICLE 7 
 TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01. General. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee’s duties and responsibilities under this
Indenture shall be only those duties and responsibilities specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied duties or responsibilities shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
or her own affairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured. Whether or not therein expressly so provided,
every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Article 7. 
 Section 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 315(a) through (d): 
 (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, Officers’
Certificate, Opinion of Counsel (or both), statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper person or persons; 
 (b) before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require an Officers’ Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to Section 11.04 and shall cover such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion. Subject to Section 7.01 and this Section 7.02, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter
be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, be deemed to be 

  

 42 








 
conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad
faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof; 
 (c) the Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents not regularly in its employ and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or
negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care, and the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including without limitation its right to be compensated, reimbursed, and indemnified, are extended
to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; 
 (d) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed); 
 (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this
Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that
might be incurred by it in compliance with such request, order or direction; 
 (f) the Trustee shall not be liable for any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance with Section 6.05 relating
to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; 
 (g) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of 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; and 
 (h) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, Board Resolution, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or
document with respect to such series of Securities, unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series affected then outstanding; provided that, if the
payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded
to it by the terms of this 

  

 43 








 
Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding. 
 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee and Others. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the
Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(b) and 311, and the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including without limitation its right to be compensated, reimbursed, and indemnified, are
extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. For purposes of Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b)(4) and (6), the following
terms shall have the following meanings: 
 (a) “cash transaction” means any transaction in which full
payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand; and 
 (b) “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated
or incurred by the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the
goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the
creditor relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation. 
 Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (except the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication) shall be taken as statements of the Company and not of the Trustee and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents (a) makes any representation as to the
validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities or (b) shall be accountable for the Company’s use or application of the proceeds from the Securities. 
 Section 7.05. Notice of Default. If any Default with respect to the Securities of any series occurs and is continuing and if such Default is known to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to each Holder of Securities of such series notice of such Default within 90 days after it occurs (a) if any Unregistered Securities of such series are then outstanding, to the Holders thereof, by publication
at least once in an Authorized Newspaper and (b) to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived before
the mailing or publication of such notice; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security of such series, the Trustee shall be protected
in withholding such notice if the 

  

 44 








 
Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders. 
 Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions
under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. If required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall, within 60 days after each
May 15 following the date of this Indenture, deliver to Holders a brief report, dated as of such May 15, which complies with the provisions of such Section 313(a). 
 A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which any Securities
are listed, with the Commission and with the Company. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when any Securities are listed on any stock exchange. 
 Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee such reasonable compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing from time to time for its services. The compensation of
the Trustee shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
or in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, except for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s
counsel and other persons not regularly in their employ. 
 The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and hold
them harmless against, any loss or liability or expense incurred by them without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on their part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and the Securities of
any series or the issuance of the Securities or of series thereof or the trusts hereunder and the performance of duties under this Indenture and the Securities, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any
claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon them or any of their officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties under this Indenture and the Securities; provided that the Company need
not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Trustee shall notify the
Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent of actual prejudice. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or
property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities. 
 The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor 

  

 45 








 
Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the defeasance or satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, the registration or removal of the Trustee, or the rejection or termination of this Indenture under Bankruptcy Law. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property and
funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities or coupons, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. Without prejudice to any other rights
available to the Trustee under applicable law, if the Trustee renders services and incurs expenses following an Event of Default under Section 6.01(e) or Section 6.01(f) hereof, the parties hereto and the holders by their acceptance of the
Securities hereby agree that such expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and appointment of a successor Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 
 The
Trustee may resign as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series at any time by so notifying the Company and the Holders as specified in this Indenture in writing. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of any series may at any time remove the Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with respect thereto with the consent of the Company. The
Company may remove the Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series if: (i) the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.11; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent; (iii) a receiver or other
public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns
or is removed as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series for any reason, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly
appoint a successor Trustee with respect thereto. If the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series does not deliver its written acceptance required by Section 7.09 within 30 days after the retiring Trustee mails the notice
of resignation or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect thereto. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or
is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 The Company or successor Trustee shall give notice of any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series and each appointment of a successor Trustee in respect of the Securities of such series to all Holders of Securities of such series. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

  

 46 








 Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series pursuant to this
Section 7.08 and Section 7.09, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.09. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee with respect to any and all applicable series an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties with respect to any and all applicable series of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the
Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and
trusts with respect to any and all applicable series of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring
Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such
provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions
of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees
co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such
supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
to such successor Trustee all 

  

 47 








 
such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be. 
 No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under this Article 7 and
have no conflict of interest under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 Section 7.10. Successor Trustee By
Merger, Etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee
corporation or national banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee hereunder with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein; provided that such successor shall be
otherwise eligible under this Article 7. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the
same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
 Section 7.11. Eligibility. This
Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition. 
 Section 7.12. Money Held in Trust. The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it
hereunder except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and except for money held in trust under Article 8 of this
Indenture. 
 ARTICLE 8 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; UNCLAIMED MONEYS 
 Section 8.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of
Indenture. If at any time: 
 (a) (i) the Company shall have paid or caused to be paid the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on all the Securities of any series outstanding hereunder (other than Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.08) as and when the same shall
have become due and payable, 
 (ii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Securities of any
series theretofore authenticated (other than any Securities of such series which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.08), or 
 (iii) all the Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or
are by their terms to become due and payable within one year (or, in the case of securities that pay interest at a floating rate, within the remaining term of the then current interest 

  

 48 








 
period) or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, 

and, in the case of clause (iii), the Company shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds the entire
amount in U.S. dollars (other than moneys repaid by the Trustee or any paying agent to the Company in accordance with Section 8.04) or U.S. Government Obligations, maturing as to principal, premium, if any, and interest in such amounts and at
such times as will insure (without consideration of the reinvestment of such interest) the availability of cash, or a combination thereof, sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Securities of such series (other than any Securities of
such series which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.08 or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation), including principal, premium, if any, and interest due or to
become due on or prior to such date of maturity or redemption as the case may be; provided, however, in the event a petition for relief under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law is filed with
respect to the Company within 91 days after the deposit and the Trustee is required to return the deposited money to the Company, the Company’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series shall not be deemed
terminated or discharged; 
 (b) the Company shall have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the
Company with respect to the Securities of such series; 
 (c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the satisfaction, defeasance and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series have been complied with; and

 (d) the Company has delivered to the Trustee (x) an Opinion of Counsel, by counsel of recognized standing in respect
of U.S. federal income tax matters, to the effect that Holders of Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s deposit of funds under this Section 8.01
and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred or (y) a ruling received from the Internal Revenue
Service to the same effect as the aforementioned Opinion of Counsel, 
 then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect
to any Securities of such series (except as to (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange, and the Company’s right of optional redemption, if any, (ii) substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities,
(iii) rights of holders to receive payments of principal thereof, premium, if any, and interest thereon, upon the original stated due dates therefor (but not upon acceleration) and remaining rights of the holders to receive mandatory sinking
fund payments, if any, (iv) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (v) the rights of the Securityholders of such series as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the Trustee payable
to all or any of them), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of 

  

 49 








 
Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging such satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with
respect to such series; provided, that the rights of Holders of the Securities to receive amounts in respect of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities held by them shall not be delayed longer than required by
then-applicable mandatory rules or policies of any securities exchange upon which the Securities are listed. The Company agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred and to compensate the
Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Securities of such series. 
 Section 8.02. Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment of Securities. Subject to Section 8.04, all moneys (including U.S. Government Obligations and the proceeds thereof) deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.01, Section 8.05 or Section 8.06 shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and the Indenture to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (other than the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) to the Holders of the particular Securities of such series for the payment or redemption of which such moneys have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and
to become due thereon for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Section 8.03. Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent. In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to Securities of any series, all moneys then held by any
Paying Agent, other than the Trustee, under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities shall, upon and in accordance with the demand of the Company, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee and thereupon such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys. 
 Section 8.04. Return of Moneys Held by
Trustee and Paying Agent Unclaimed for Two Years. Any moneys deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Security of any series and not applied but
remaining unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such principal, interest or premium, if any, shall have become due and payable, shall, upon the written request of the Company and unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of
applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Company by the Trustee for such series or such Paying Agent, and the Holder of the Security of such series shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of
applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property laws, thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or any Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall
thereupon cease. 
 Section 8.05. Defeasance and Discharge of Indenture. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall
be deemed to have paid and shall be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Securities of any series, on the 123rd day after the deposit referred to in clause (a) hereof has been made, and the provisions of this Indenture
shall no longer be in effect with respect to the Securities of such series (and the Trustee, upon request and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except as to: (1) rights of registration of
transfer and exchange, and the Company’s right of optional 

  

 50 








 
redemption, if any, (2) substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, (3) rights of holders to receive payments of
principal thereof, premium, if any, and interest thereon, upon the original stated due dates therefor (but not upon acceleration) and remaining rights of the Holders to receive mandatory sinking fund payments, if any, (4) the rights,
obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (5) the rights of the Securityholders of such series as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any of them; provided that the
following conditions shall have been satisfied: 
 (a) with reference to this provision, the Company has deposited or caused
to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, money or the equivalent in U.S. Government Obligations, or any
combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification delivered to the Trustee, for payment of all (x) the principal of, premium, if any, and each
installment of interest on the outstanding Securities of such series on the due dates thereof and (y) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to the Securities of such series on the day on which such payments are
due and payable in accordance with the terms of Securities of such series and the Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; 
 (b) the deposit does not cause the Trustee with respect to the Securities to have a conflicting interest (within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act) with respect to the Securities of such
series; 
 (c) the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, the Indenture or any
other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; and 
 (d) on the date of such deposit,
(i) there is no continuing Event of Default, or event (including such deposit) which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series, and (ii) no Event of Default under
the provisions of Section 6.01(e) or Section 6.01(f) or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default under such bankruptcy or insolvency provisions shall have occurred and be continuing on the 91st
day after such date; and 
 (e) the Company has delivered to the Trustee (x) an Opinion of Counsel, by counsel of
recognized standing in respect of U.S. federal income tax matters, to the effect that Holders of Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its
option under this Section 8.05 and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred or (y) a ruling
received from the Internal Revenue Service to the same effect as the aforementioned Opinion of Counsel. 
 Section 8.06.
Defeasance of Certain Obligations. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor may omit to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in, and this 

  

 51 








 
Indenture shall no longer be in effect with respect to the obligations of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor set forth in, Section 4.09 or
Section 4.11; and Section 6.01(c) and Section 6.01(d) shall no longer constitute an Event of Default; provided the following conditions have been satisfied: 
 (a) with reference to this provision the Company has deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee (or another
qualifying trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 7.11) as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, (i) money in an amount, or
(ii) U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide not later than one day before the due date of any payment referred to in subclause (x) or
(y) of this clause (i) money in an amount, or (iii) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, to pay and discharge without consideration of the reinvestment of such interest and after payment of all federal, state and local taxes or other charges and assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee (x) the principal of,
premium, if any, and each installment of interest on the outstanding Securities of such series on the due dates thereof and (y) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to the Securities of such series on the day on
which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of Securities of such series and the Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; 
 (b) on the date of such deposit, no Event of Default, or event (including such deposit) that, after the giving of notice or lapse of time
or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; 
 (c) the deposit does not cause the
Trustee with respect to the Securities to have a conflicting interest (within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act) with respect to the Securities of such series; 
 (d) the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, the Indenture or any other agreement or
instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; and 
 (e) the Company has delivered to the Trustee
(x) an Opinion of Counsel, by counsel of recognized standing in respect of U.S. federal income tax matters, to the effect that Holders of Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as
a result of the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section 8.06 and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and
discharge had not occurred or (y) a ruling received from the Internal Revenue Service to the same effect as the aforementioned Opinion of Counsel. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company exercises its option with respect to the Securities of a series under this Section 8.06 and an Event of Default under the provisions of Section 6.01(e) or
Section 6.01(f) or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would 

  

 52 








 
become an Event of Default under such bankruptcy or insolvency provisions shall have occurred and be continuing on the 91st day after the date of such
deposit referred to in clause (a) above, the obligation of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with Section 4.09 or Section 4.11 and Section 6.01(c) with respect to the Securities of such series shall be
reinstated. 
 Section 8.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any monies or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 to pay any principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, with respect to the Securities of any series by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such monies or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that if the Company
has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Securities of such series because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive
such payment from the monies or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 Section 8.08.
Indemnity. The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.08 and Section 8.02, the “Trustee”) against any tax, fee or other charge, imposed on
or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.05 or 8.06 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 the Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto. 
 Section 8.09. Excess Funds. Anything in this Article 8
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon request of the Company any money or U.S. Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in
Section 8.01, 8.05 or 8.06 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 discharge or defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article 8. 
 Section 8.10.
Qualifying Trustee. Any trustee appointed pursuant to Section 8.05 or 8.06 for the purpose of holding money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to such Sections shall be appointed under an agreement in form acceptable
to the Trustee and shall provide to the Trustee a certificate, upon which certificate the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely, that all conditions precedent provided for herein to the related defeasance have been complied with. In no
event shall the Trustee be liable for any acts or omissions of said trustee. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 
 Section 9.01. Amendments Without Consent of Holders. The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may, at any time and from time to time, amend the Indenture or the 

  

 53 








 
Securities of any series without notice to or the consent of any Holder for any of the following purposes: 
 (i) to effect the assumption of the Company’s or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture by a successor
Person; 
 (ii) to impose additional covenants and Events of Default or to add Guarantees of other Persons for the benefit of
the Holders; 
 (iii) to add or change any of the provisions of this Indenture relating to the issuance or exchange of the
Securities of such series in registered form, but only if such action does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such series or related coupons in any material respect; 
 (iv) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture, but only if the change or elimination becomes effective when there
are no outstanding Securities of any series, or related coupon, which are entitled to the benefit of such provision and as to which such modification would apply; 
 (v) to secure the Securities of any series; 
 (vi) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Securities of any series, but only if such action does not adversely affect the interests of the
Holders of outstanding Securities of any series or related coupons in any material respect; 
 (vii) to establish the form or
terms of the Securities of any series and coupons, if any, of any Securities of such series as permitted by this Indenture; 
 (viii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to facilitate the administration of the trusts by more than one Trustee; 
 (ix) to correct any mistakes or defects in this Indenture, but only if such action does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders
of outstanding Securities or related coupons in any material respect or otherwise amend this Indenture in any respect that does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of outstanding Securities or related coupons; 
 (x) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Securities or the Note Guarantees to any provision of a description of such Securities
appearing in a prospectus or prospectus supplement or an offering memorandum or offering circular pursuant to which such Securities were offered to the extent that such provision was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this
Indenture, the Securities or the Note Guarantees; 
 (xi) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a
Note Guarantee with respect to the Securities of a particular series; and 
  

 54 








 (xii) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the
qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. 
 Section 9.02. Amendments with Consent of Holders.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02(b), the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture and the Securities of any series, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Securities affected by such modification, to add, change or eliminate any provision of, or to modify the rights of such Holders under, the Indenture. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.02(a), without the consent of each Holder of outstanding Securities of any series affected, an amendment or waiver may not 
 (i) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, the Securities of any series (or related coupon),
reduce the principal amount thereof, the interest thereon or any premium payable upon redemption thereof or change the currency or currencies in which the principal, premium or interest is denominated or payable; 
 (ii) reduce the amount of, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of, any payment on the Securities of any series
following maturity thereof; 
 (iii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series
required for consent to any waiver of Defaults or compliance with the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such series; 
 (iv) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or 
 (v) modify any provision of this Indenture relating to modifications and waivers of Defaults and covenants, except to increase any such
percentage or to provide that certain other provisions cannot be modified or waived without the consent of each Holder of outstanding Securities affected thereby. 
 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which
modifies the rights of Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series or of the coupons appertaining to
such Securities. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Holder under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
  

 55 








 An amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section shall become effective on receipt by the Trustee of
written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Securities affected thereby. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall give to the
Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company shall mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 Section 9.03. Revocation
and Effect of Consent. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the
Security of the consenting Holder, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of its Security. Such revocation shall be effective
only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. 
 The Company
may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date (which may be not less than five nor more than 60 days prior to the solicitation of consents) for the purpose of determining the Holders of the Securities of any series affected entitled to
consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were such Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies) and only those Persons
shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be such Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than
90 days after such record date. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective with respect to the Securities of any series
affected thereby, it shall bind every Holder of such Securities unless it is of the type described in Section 9.02, in which case the amendment or waiver shall bind each such Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a
Security that evidences the same indebtedness as the Security of the consenting Holder. 
 Section 9.04. Notation on or
Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of any Security, the Trustee may require the Holder thereof to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the
changed terms and return it to the Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Security of such series thereafter authenticated. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security of the same series and tenor that reflects the changed terms. 
 Section 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or
waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, stating that all requisite consents have been obtained or that no consents are required and stating that such supplemental indenture constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, enforceable against the 

  

 56 








 
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute
any such amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Section 9.06. Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article 9 shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 ARTICLE 10 
 SUBSIDIARY
GUARANTORS 
 Section 10.01. Guarantees. 
 (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due
and punctual payment and performance of all of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly with the other Subsidiary Guarantors and severally. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees that its Guaranteed Obligations may
be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any such Guaranteed Obligation. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors
waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any of its Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee, notice of protest for nonpayment and all similar
formalities. 
 (b) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of
payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Trustee or any Holder to any security held for the payment of its Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the
books of the Trustee or any Holder in favor of the Company. 
 (c) Except for termination of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder or a release of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.08, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason,
including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the
Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the
failure of the Trustee or any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of this Indenture or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the
terms or provisions of, this Indenture or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement; (iii) any Default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed
Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor; or (iv) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any 

  

 57 








 
extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than
the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor). 
 (d) To the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary
Guarantor or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary
Guarantor. The Trustee may, at its election, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor have been fully and
indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to
extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Subsidiary Guarantor against the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be. 
 (e) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, any other Subsidiary Guarantor
or otherwise. 
 (f) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to
the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the
Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith
become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. 
 Section 10.02. Limitation on
Liability. Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be
hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

  

 58 








 Section 10.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article 10 shall be binding upon each
Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, transferees and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the
rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture. 
 Section 10.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right,
power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and
the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 
 Section 10.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 10, nor the consent to any
departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for
which given. No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 
 Section 10.06. Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee shall be substantially in such form or forms (not inconsistent with this Indenture) as shall be established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or in one or more
indentures supplemental hereto, and shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by one of
its Officers. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full
force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Note Guarantee. 
 If an Officer whose signature
is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in
this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors. 
 In the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries creates or acquires any
Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.12 hereof, the Company will cause such Domestic Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

 Section 10.07. Subsidiary Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. 
  

 59 








 (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.08 hereof, no Subsidiary Guarantor
may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Subsidiary
Guarantor, unless immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists. 
 (b) In case
of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the
Securities and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Subsidiary Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Subsidiary Guarantor with the same
effect as if it had been named herein as a Subsidiary Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have
been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
 (c)
Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding Section 10.07(a) and (b), nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor with or into the
Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 Section 10.08. Release of Subsidiary Guarantor. A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Article 10
(other than any obligation that may have arisen under this Section 10.08): 
 (a) upon the sale (including any sale
pursuant to any exercise of remedies by a holder of Indebtedness of the Company or of such Subsidiary Guarantor) or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of a Subsidiary Guarantor; 
 (b) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor; 
 (c) upon such Subsidiary Guarantor’s being released as a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement; 
 (d) unless there is then existing an Event of Default, at such time and for so long as any such Subsidiary Guarantor that became a
Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.12 does not Guarantee any Indebtedness that would have required such Subsidiary Guarantor to enter into a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 4.12 and 

  

 60 








 
the Company provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying that no such Guarantee is outstanding and the Company elects to have such
Subsidiary Guarantor released from this Article 10; or 
 (e) upon the exercise by the Company of its legal defeasance
option or its covenant defeasance option or if the Obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Securities are discharged pursuant to Article 8. 
 provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) and (b) above, (i) such sale or other disposition is made to a Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) such sale or disposition is otherwise
permitted by this Indenture and (iii) the Company complies with its obligations under Section 5.01. 
 At the request of the Company, the Trustee
shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release. 
 Section 10.09. Contribution. Each
Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such
other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

sufficiently given to Holders of any Unregistered Securities, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper and by mailing to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c)(2)
of the Trust Indenture Act at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and to Holders of Registered Securities by mailing to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. Notice mailed shall be sufficiently
given if so mailed within the time prescribed. Copies of any such communication or notice to a Holder shall also be mailed to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time. 
 Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, if a notice or communication is
mailed in the manner provided in this Section 11.02, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it. 
 Where this Indenture
provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be
filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 In case it shall be impracticable to give notice as herein contemplated, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 
 Section 11.03. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to
take any action under this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee: 
 (a) an Officers’ Certificate stating
that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and 
  

 62 








 (b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such
conditions precedent have been complied with. 
 Section 11.04. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each
certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than the certificate required by Section 4.03) shall include: 
 (a) a statement that each person signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein
relating thereto; 
 (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the
statement or opinion contained in such certificate or opinion is based; 
 (c) a statement that, in the opinion of each such
person, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 
 (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of each such person, such condition or covenant has been complied with. 

Section 11.05. Forms of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may
certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, counsel, unless such officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion is
based are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such
factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel rendering such Opinion of Counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are
erroneous. 
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements,
opinions, or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Section 11.06. Evidence of Ownership. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the Holder of any Unregistered Security and the Holder of any coupon as the absolute owner of
such Unregistered Security or coupon (whether 

  

 63 








 
or not such Unregistered Security or coupon shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes,
and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The fact of the holding by any Holder of an Unregistered Security, and the identifying number of such Security and the
date of his holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Security or by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer wherever situated satisfactory to the Trustee, if such certificate shall
be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Security bearing a specified identifying number was deposited with or exhibited to such trust company, bank, banker or
recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Unregistered Securities specified therein. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Unregistered
Securities specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (1) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the
same Securities shall be produced or (2) the Security specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other Person or (3) the Security specified in such certificate shall have ceased to be outstanding. Subject to Article 7, the
fact and date of the execution of any such instrument and the amount and numbers of Securities held by the Person so executing such instrument may also be proven in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the
Trustee or in any other manner which the Trustee may deem sufficient. 
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may deem and treat the person in whose name any Registered Security shall be registered upon the Security Register for such series as the absolute owner of such Registered Security (whether or not such Registered Security shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, premium or interest on such Registered Security and for
all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 Section 11.07. Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent or Registrar. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders. The Paying Agent or Registrar may make reasonable rules
for its functions. 
 Section 11.08. Payment Date Other Than a Business Day. Except as otherwise provided with respect to
a series of Securities, if any date for payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Security shall not be a Business Day at any place of payment, then payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Security, as the case
may be, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at any place of payment with the same force and effect as if made on such date and no interest shall accrue in respect of such payment for the period from and
after such date. 
 Section 11.09. Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York shall govern this Indenture and the
Securities, without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof. 
  

 64 








 Section 11.10. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not
be used to interpret another indenture or loan or debt agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. Any such indenture or agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture. 
 Section 11.11. Successors. All agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the Securities shall bind its successors. All
agreements of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall bind its successors, except as otherwise provided by Section 10.08 hereof. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. 
 Section 11.12. Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an
original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. 
 Section 11.13. Separability. In case any provision in
this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Section 11.14. Table of Contents, Headings, Etc. The Table of Contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture
have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms and provisions hereof. 
 Section 11.15. Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors of Company Exempt from Individual Liability. No recourse under or
upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, or in any Security or any coupons appertaining thereto, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any
incorporator, as such or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer, director or employee, as such, of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or of any successor of the foregoing, either directly or through the Company or any successor,
under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities and
the coupons appertaining thereto by the holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities and the coupons appertaining thereto. 
 Section 11.16. Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable, nor shall the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors be responsible or liable to the Trustee, for any failure or
delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military
disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee or the Company or the Subsidiary
Guarantors, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 
  

 65 








 Section 11.17. Communication by Holders of Securities with Other Holders of Securities.
Holders of Securities of any series may communicate pursuant to Trust Indenture Act Section 312(b) with other Holders of that series with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the applicable Securities. The Company, the Trustee, the
Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of Trust Indenture Act Section 312(c).
