delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the 

date or dates required with respect to the document or instrument for which it is substituted. Anything in this Indenture to 

the contrary notwithstanding, if any such corrective document or instrument indicates that action has been taken by or at 

the request of the Company which could not have been taken had the original document or instrument not contained such 

error or omission, the action so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be and remain in

be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly 

appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article XIV, or a 

combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall 

become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is 

hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied 

therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or 

instruments and so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any 

such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Bond, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to 

Section 10.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The 

record of any meeting of Holders shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 14.06. 

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a 

witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments 

of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof or 

may be proved in any other manner which the Trustee and the Company deem sufficient. Where such execution is by a 

signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient

proof of his authority.

exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the 

Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Bond. 

(e) Until such time as written instruments shall have been delivered to the Trustee with respect to the requisite percentage 

of principal amount of Bonds for the action contemplated by such instruments, any such instrument executed and 

delivered by or on behalf of a Holder may be revoked with respect to any or all of such Bonds by written notice by such 

Holder or any subsequent Holder, proven in the manner in which such instrument was proven. 

(f) Bonds of any series authenticated and delivered after any Act of Holders may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear 

a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any action taken by such Act of Holders. If the Company shall so 

determine, new Bonds of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to such 

action may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for 

Outstanding Bonds of such series. 

(g) The Company may, at its option, by Company Order, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders 

entitled to give any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act solicited by the 

Company, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. In addition, the Trustee may, at its option, fix in advance a 

record date for the determination of Holders entitled to join in the giving or making of any Notice of Default, any 

declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 9.02, any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 9.07 or 

any direction referred to in Section 9.12. If any such record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, 

notice, consent, waiver or other Act, or such notice, declaration, request or direction, may be given before or after such 

record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the 

purposes of determining (i) whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the Outstanding Bonds have authorized or 

agreed or consented to such Act (and for that purpose the Outstanding Bonds shall be computed as of the record date) 

and/or (ii) which Holders may revoke any such Act (notwithstanding subsection (e) of this Section); and any such Act, 

given as aforesaid, shall be effective whether or not the Holders which authorized or agreed or consented to such Act 

remain Holders after such record date and whether or not the Bonds held by such Holders remain Outstanding after such 

record date. 

SECTION 1.05. Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Company. 

Except as otherwise provided herein, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or

SECTION 1.06. Notice to Holders of Bonds; Waiver. 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such 

notice shall be sufficiently given, and shall be deemed given, to Holders if in writing and mailed, first-class postage 

prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Bond Register, not later 

than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give 

such notice to Holders by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a 

sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the

or after the event otherwise to be specified therein, 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.

Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no 

interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date 

or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to such Business Day. 

SECTION 1.14. Investment of Cash Held by Trustee. 

Any cash held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent under any provision of this Indenture shall, except as otherwise 

provided in Article VIII, at the request of the Company evidenced by Company Order, be invested or reinvested in 

Investment Securities selected and designated by the Company (such Company Order to contain a representation to the 

effect that the securities designated therein constitute Investment Securities), and any interest on such Investment 

Securities shall be promptly paid over to the Company as received. Such Investment Securities shall be held subject to the 

same provisions hereof as the cash used to purchase the same, but upon a like request of the Company shall be sold, in 

whole or in designated part, and the proceeds of such sale shall be held subject to the same provisions hereof as the cash 

used to purchase the Investment Securities so sold. If such sale shall produce a net sum less than the cost of the Investment 

Securities so sold, the Company shall pay to the Trustee or any such Paying Agent, as the case may be, such amount in 

cash as, together with the net proceeds from such sale, shall equal the cost of the Investment Securities so sold, and if such

sale shall produce a net sum greater than the cost of the Investment Securities so sold, the Trustee or any such Paying 

Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly pay over to the Company an amount in cash equal to such excess. In no event 

shall the Trustee be liable for any loss incurred in connection with the sale of any Investment Security pursuant to this 

Section. In the absence of a Company Order directing the Trustee to invest cash held by the Trustee hereunder, such funds 

shall remain uninvested. The Trustee shall not be accountable or liable for any losses resulting from the sale or 

depreciation in the market value of investments made pursuant to this Indenture and Company Orders. 

SECTION 1.15. Electronic or Facsimile Communication. 

The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by the Company by 

unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that 

(a) subsequent to such transmission of written instructions, the Company shall provide the originally executed instructions 

or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner, and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed 

by an authorized representative of the Company providing such instructions or directions. If the Company elects to give 

the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion 

elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The 

Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon 

and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent 

written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit 

instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized 

instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.

PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE BONDS OR THE TRANSACTIONS

SECTION 1.17. Qualification of Indenture. 

The Company shall qualify this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the terms and conditions of 

the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the Issue Date. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Company 

any such Officers’ Certificates, Opinions of Counsel or other documentation as it may reasonably request in connection

[RESERVED.] 

ARTICLE III 

THE BONDS 

SECTION 3.01. Amount Unlimited. 

The aggregate principal amount of Bonds which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited and 

the Company may issue an unlimited principal amount of Additional Bonds in accordance with Section 3.14 hereof. 

SECTION 3.02. Form and Dating; Denominations. 

Provisions relating to the Initial Bonds and the Exchange Bonds are set forth in the Rule 144A/Regulation S Appendix 

attached hereto (the “Appendix”), which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Initial 

Bonds and the Exchange Bonds and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication for such Bonds shall be substantially in the 

form of Exhibit 1 to the Appendix which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. 

The Bonds shall bear such legends as may be required by the Appendix and may have such other notations, legends or 

endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage 

(provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). 

The Bonds of each series shall be issuable in denominations of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and any 

integral multiple of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) thereafter.

SECTION 3.03. Execution, Dating, Certificate of Authentication.

The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any two of the following: the President, the Chief Executive 

Officer, any Vice President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer. The corporate seal of 

the Company may be affixed thereto or reproduced thereon and attested by the Company’s Corporate Secretary or any 

other officer of the Company as permitted by the Company’s bylaws. The signature of any or all of these officers on the 

Bonds may be manual or facsimile. 

Bonds bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time of execution the President, the Chief 

Executive Officer, a Vice President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company 

shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the 

authentication and delivery of such Bonds or did not hold such offices at the date of such Bonds. 

Each Bond shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

No Bond shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears 

on such Bond a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Exhibit 1 executed by the Trustee or 

an Authenticating Agent by manual signature of an authorized officer thereof, and such certificate upon any Bond shall be 

conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Bond has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is 

entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Bond shall have been authenticated and 

delivered hereunder to the Company, or any Person acting on its behalf, but shall never have been issued and sold (or 

pledged) by the Company, and (a) the Company shall deliver such Bond to the Bond Registrar for cancellation or shall 

cancel such Bond and deliver evidence of such cancellation to the Trustee, in each case as provided in Section 3.09, and 

(b) the Company, at its election, shall deliver to the Trustee a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.02 

and need not be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Bond has never been 

issued and sold (or pledged) by the Company, then, for all purposes of this Indenture, such Bond shall be deemed never to 

have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits hereof. 

SECTION 3.04. Temporary Bonds. 

Pending the preparation of definitive Bonds of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the 

Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Bonds which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed, 

photocopied or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Bonds in 

lieu of which they are issued, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers

executing such Bonds may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Bonds. 

After the preparation of definitive Bonds of such series, the temporary Bonds of such series shall be exchangeable, 

without charge to the Holder thereof, for definitive Bonds of such series upon surrender of such temporary Bonds at the 

office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 7.02 in a Place of Payment for such Bonds. Upon such 

surrender of temporary Bonds, the Company shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Appendix, execute 

and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Bonds of the same series, of authorized 

denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

of 115
Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, temporary Bonds shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits 

under this Indenture as definitive Bonds of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

SECTION 3.05. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

The Company shall cause to be kept in one of the offices designated pursuant to Section 7.02, with respect to the Bonds of 

each series, a register (the “Bond Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the 

Company shall provide for the registration of Bonds of such series and the registration of transfer thereof. The Company 

shall designate one Person to maintain the Bond Register for the Bonds of each series, and such Person is referred to 

herein, with respect to such series, as the “Bond Registrar”. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company 

may designate one or more of its offices as an office in which a Bond Register with respect to the Bonds of one or more 

series shall be maintained, and the Company may designate itself the Bond Registrar with respect to one or more of such 

series. The Bond Register(s) shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and the Company at all reasonable times. 

The Trustee is hereby appointed as initial Paying Agent and initial Bond Registrar for the Bonds. The Place of Payment of 

the Bonds shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

Except as provided below with respect to Global Bonds, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Bond of such 

series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 7.02 in a Place of Payment for such series, 

the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in each case in accordance with the procedures 

set forth in the Appendix, the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of the same series 

of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 

Any Bond of such series may be exchanged at the option of the Holder, for one or more new Bonds of the same series of 

authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged 

at any such office or agency. Whenever any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the 

Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in each case in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Appendix, the Bonds 

which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

All Bonds delivered upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be valid obligations of the Company, 

evidencing the same obligation, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Bonds surrendered upon such 

registration of transfer or exchange. Every Bond presented or surrendered for registration of transfer shall be duly 

endorsed or shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or 

the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

Every Bond presented or surrendered for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee or the Bond 

Registrar) be duly endorsed or shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the 

Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s 

attorney duly authorized in writing.

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 4898-5 Filed: 11/27/19 Entered: 11/27/19 15:18:36 Page 29

of 115
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds, but the Company may require 

payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any 

registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 6.06 or 13.06 not involving 

any transfer. 

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of transfer of or the exchange of (a) Bonds 

of any series during a period of fifteen (15) days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial

numbers of the Bonds of such series called for redemption or (b) any Bond so selected for redemption in whole or in part, 

except the unredeemed portion of any Bond being redeemed in part. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Bonds in 

certificated form, a Global Bond representing all or a portion of the Bonds 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 (i) the Depositary for the Bonds of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as

Depositary for the Bonds of such series or that it is no longer eligible under Section 3.13, and in any such case the 

Company has not appointed a successor Depositary within ninety (90) days after delivery of such notice, (ii) there has 

occurred and is continuing an Event of Default, or (iii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Bonds of any 

series issued in the form of one or more Global Bonds shall no longer be represented by such Global Bond or Bonds, then 

in each such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication 

and delivery of certificated Bonds of such series, will authenticate and deliver, in each case in accordance with the 

procedures set forth in the Appendix, Bonds of such series in certificated form and in an aggregate principal amount equal 

to the principal amount of the Global Bond or Bonds representing such series in exchange for such Global Bond or Bonds. 

The Depositary for such series of Bonds may surrender a Global Bond for such series of Bonds in exchange in whole or in 

part for Bonds of such series in certificated form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary, in 

each case, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Appendix. Thereupon, the Company shall authenticate and 

deliver, without charge: 

(i) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new Bond or Bonds of the same series, of any authorized denomination 

as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest 

in the Global Bonds; and 

24 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 4898-5 Filed: 11/27/19 Entered: 11/27/19 15:18:36 Page 30

of 115
(ii) to such Depositary a new Global Bond in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount 

of the surrendered Global Bond and the aggregate principal amount of Bonds delivered to Holders thereof. 

Bonds issued in exchange for a Global Bond pursuant to this Section and the Appendix shall be registered in such names 

and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Bond, pursuant to instructions from its direct or 

indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Bonds to the Persons in whose 

names such Bonds are so registered. 

SECTION 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Bonds. 

If any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and 

deliver in exchange therefor a new Bond of the same series, and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number 

not contemporaneously outstanding. 

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership of and the 

destruction, loss or theft of any Bond and (b) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save 

each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that 

such Bond is held by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in 

lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, a new Bond of the same series, and of like tenor and principal amount and 

bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond has become or is about to 

become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, but subject to compliance with the foregoing conditions, 

instead of issuing a new Bond, pay such Bond. 

Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to 

cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses 

(including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

Every new Bond of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall constitute 

an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall be at any time 

enforceable by anyone other than the Holder of such new Bond, and any such new Bond shall be entitled to all the benefits 

of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds of such series duly issued hereunder. 

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with 

respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds.

SECTION 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 

Interest on any Bond which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be 

paid to the Person in whose name that Bond (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on 

the Regular Record Date for such interest, except that interest payable on the Stated Maturity of the principal of a Bond 

shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. The initial payment of interest on any Bond of any series which is 

issued between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Bond or 

supplemental indenture with respect to the related series of Bonds. Except in the case of a Global Bond at the option of the 

Company, interest on any series of Bonds may be paid by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as 

it shall appear on the Bond Register of such series or (ii) wire transfer in immediately available funds at such place and to 

such account as designated in writing by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Bond Register of such series. 

Any interest on any Bond of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest 

Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the related Regular 

Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its 

election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below: 

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Bonds of such 

series (or their respective Predecessor Bonds) are registered at the close of business on a date (herein called a “Special 

Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company 

shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Bond of such series and 

the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money 

equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements 

satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to 

be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the 

Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than thirty 

(30) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than twenty-five (25) days 

after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of 

such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall, not less than fifteen (15) days prior 

to such Special Record Date, cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date 

therefor to be given to each Holder of Bonds of such series. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest 

and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose 

names the Bonds of such series (or their respective Predecessor Bonds) are registered at the close of business on such 

Special Record Date. 

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Bonds of any series in any other lawful manner not 

inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Bonds may be listed, and upon such notice as 

may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant 

to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.05, each Bond delivered under this Indenture upon 

registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Bond shall carry the rights to interest accrued and 

unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Bond.

SECTION 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. 

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Bond is 

registered as the absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, 

and (subject to Section 3.07) interest, if any, on such Bond and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such 

Bond 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. 

SECTION 3.09. Cancellation by Bond Registrar. 

All Bonds surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person 

other than the Bond Registrar, be delivered to the Bond Registrar and, if not theretofore canceled, shall be promptly 

canceled by the Bond Registrar. The Company may at any time deliver to the Bond Registrar for cancellation any Bonds 

previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever or 

which the Company shall not have issued and sold (or pledged), and all Bonds so delivered shall be promptly canceled by 

the Bond Registrar, which shall not prohibit the Company from issuing any Additional Bonds, or any Exchange Bonds in 

exchange for Initial Bonds. No Bonds shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Bonds canceled as provided 

in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Bonds held by the Bond Registrar shall be 

disposed of in accordance with the Bond Registrar’s then customary practice for disposing of securities, unless otherwise 

directed by a Company Order. 

SECTION 3.10. Computation of Interest. 

Interest on the Bonds of each series shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of 

twelve (12) thirty (30) day months and, with respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the 

actual number of days elapsed during such period. 

SECTION 3.11. Reserved. 

SECTION 3.12. CUSIP Numbers. 

The Company, in issuing the Bonds, may use “CUSIP” or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the 

Trustee or Bond Registrar may use CUSIP or such other numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; 

provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as 

printed on the Bonds or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other 

identification numbers printed on the Bonds, in which case none of the Company or, as the case may be, the Trustee or the 

Bond Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall have any liability in respect of any CUSIP number used on any such 

notice, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will 

promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

SECTION 3.13. Global Bonds. 

The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section and the Company Order with respect to 

such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Bonds in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and 

shall be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of such 

series to be represented by one or more Global Bonds, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such 

Global Bond or Bonds or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or 

pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction or held by the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary, and (iv) shall bear a 

legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Bonds in certificated 

form, this Bond may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a 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.” 

The Depositary shall initially be DTC. The Company may at any time designate another Person to act as Depositary in 

place of DTC. Each Depositary designated pursuant to this Section 3.13 or otherwise for a Global Bond must, at the time 

of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act 

and any other applicable statute or regulation. 

None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Bond Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for 

any aspect of Depositary records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in a Global 

Bond or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any Depositary records relating to such beneficial ownership interests, 

or for transfers of beneficial interests in the Bonds or any transactions between the Depositary and beneficial owners. 

SECTION 3.14. Issuance of Additional Bonds. 

After the Issue Date, the Company shall, subject to compliance with the terms of this Indenture but without notice to or the 

consent of any Holders, be entitled to create and issue Additional Bonds under this Indenture, which Bonds shall have 

identical terms as, and rank equally and ratably with, the Initial Bonds issued on the Issue Date or the Exchange Bonds 

exchanged therefor, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price, the initial interest accrual date and amount

of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto. The Initial Bonds of the relevant series of Bonds and any 

Additional Bonds of the relevant series of Bonds and all Exchange Bonds of the relevant series of Bonds shall be treated 

as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture; provided, however, that no Additional Bonds may be issued with the 

same CUSIP number as the Bonds previously issued under this Indenture if such Additional Bonds are not fungible with 

such previously issued Bonds for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

REDEMPTION OF BONDS 

SECTION 6.01. Applicability of Article. 

Bonds of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms 

and in accordance with this Article. 

SECTION 6.02. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 

The election of the Company to redeem any Bonds shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate. If 

the Company elects to redeem a Bond pursuant to its terms, the Company shall, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the 

Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in 

writing of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of such Bonds to be redeemed. In the case of any 

redemption of Bonds (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Bonds 

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 Bonds, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with 

such restriction or condition. 

SECTION 6.03. Selection of Bonds to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Bonds of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the 

Bond Registrar from the Outstanding Bonds of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as shall 

be provided for any particular series, or, in the absence of any such provision, by such method of random selection as the 

Bond Registrar shall

deem fair and appropriate and which may, in any case, provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the 

minimum authorized denomination for Bonds of such series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of 

Bonds of such series having a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Bonds of such series; 

provided, however, that if, as indicated in an Officer’s Certificate, the Company shall have offered to purchase all or any 

principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding of any series, and less than all of such Bonds as to which such offer was 

made shall have been tendered to the Company for such purchase, the Bond Registrar, if so directed by Company Order, 

shall select for redemption all or any principal amount of such Bonds which have not been so tendered. 

The Bond Registrar shall promptly notify the Company and the Trustee in writing of the Bonds selected for redemption 

and, in the case of any Bonds selected to be redeemed in part, 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 Bonds 

shall relate, in the case of any Bonds redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of 

such Bonds which has been or is to be redeemed. 

SECTION 6.04. Notice of Redemption. 

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.06 to the Holders of the Bonds to be redeemed 

not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date in the manner set forth below and by 

e-mail to the Depositary. 

All notices of redemption shall state: 

(a) the Redemption Date, 

(b) the Redemption Price; provided, however, that such notice need not state the dollar amount of the Redemption Price if 

such dollar amount has not been determined as of the date of such notice, 

(c) if less than all the Bonds of any series are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Bonds to be redeemed and

the portion of the principal amount of any Bond to be redeemed in part, 

(d) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, 

will become due and payable upon each such Bond to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to 

accrue on and after said date; provided, that if a conditional notice shall be given, other appropriate language shall be 

inserted indicating the conditional nature of the redemption, 

(e) the place or places where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, 

if any, and 

(f) such other matters as the Company shall deem desirable or appropriate.

Unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Bonds, with respect to any redemption of Bonds at the election of 

the Company or any redemption which is contingent on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of an event or condition which 

cannot be ascertained prior to the time a redemption notice is required to be given hereunder, such notice may state that 

such redemption shall be conditional upon receipt by the Trustee or the Paying Agent or Agents for such Bonds, on or 

prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of such Bonds and accrued 

interest, if any, thereon to the Redemption Date (or direction from the Company to apply such money for the payment of 

such Bonds, if such money shall have been deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent or Agents upon the condition that 

the Trustee or Paying Agent or Agents will apply such money only at the direction of the Company) and that if such 

money shall not have been so received (or if such money shall have been received but the Trustee or the Paying Agent or 

Agents have been directed by the Company not to apply such money to redeem such Bonds) such notice shall be of no 

force or effect and the Company shall not be required to redeem such Bonds; provided, however, that conditional notice 

shall not be given if upon the giving of notice, such Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid in accordance with 

Section 8.01. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not so received, or 

the Trustee or Paying Agent or Agents have been directed by the Company not to apply such money to the redemption of 

such Bonds, the redemption shall not be made, and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner 

in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so received or that the Trustee or Paying Agent or 

Agents have been directed by the Company not to redeem such Bonds and such redemption was not required to be made, 

and the Trustee or Paying Agent or Agents for the Bonds otherwise to have been redeemed shall promptly return to the 

Holders thereof any of such Bonds which had been surrendered for payment upon such redemption. 

Notice of redemption of Bonds to be redeemed at the election of the Company, and any notice of non-satisfaction of a 

condition for redemption as aforesaid, shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Bond Registrar 

in the name and at the expense of the Company. Notice of mandatory redemption of Bonds shall be given by the Bond 

Registrar in the name and at the expense of the Company. 

SECTION 6.05. Bonds Payable on Redemption Date. 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the conditions, if any, set forth in such notice having been 

satisfied, the Bonds or portions thereof so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the 

Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless, in the case of an unconditional notice of 

redemption, the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Bonds or 

portions thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Bond for redemption in 

accordance with such notice, such Bond or portion thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together 

with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, any installment of interest on any Bond the 

Stated Maturity of which installment is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holder of such Bond, or 

one or more Predecessor Bonds, registered as such at the close of business on the related Regular Record Date according 

to the terms of such Bond and subject to the provisions of Section 3.07.

SECTION 6.06. Bonds Redeemed in Part. 

Upon the surrender of any Bond which is to be redeemed only in part at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company 

or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and 

the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), the Company shall execute, 

and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Bond, without service charge, a new Bond or Bonds of 

the same series, of any authorized denomination requested by such Holder and of like tenor and in aggregate principal 

amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Bond so surrendered. 

ARTICLE VII 

COVENANTS 

SECTION 7.01. Payment of Bonds. 

The Company shall pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Bonds of each series in 

accordance with the terms of such Bonds and this Indenture. Additional Interest, if any, shall be payable under the 

circumstances and at the rate specified in any Registration Rights Agreement then in effect. 

SECTION 7.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for the Bonds of each series, an office or agency where payment of 

such Bonds shall be made, and where the registration of transfer or exchange of such Bonds may be effected and where 

notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of such Bonds and this Indenture may be served. The Company 

shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or 

agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of Bonds of any 

series, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, payment of such Bonds shall be made, registration of 

transfer or exchange thereof may be effected and notices and demands in respect thereof may be served at the Corporate 

Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent for all such purposes in any such 

event. 

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies with respect to the Bonds of one 

or more series for any or all of the foregoing purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, 

however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an 

office or agency 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. 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any office or agency required by this Section may be maintained at an 

office of the Company, in which event the Company shall perform all functions to be performed at such office or agency.

SECTION 7.03. Money for Bond Payments to Be Held in Trust. 

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Bonds of any series, it shall, on or before 

each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on any of such Bonds, segregate and hold in 

trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and premium or interest so 

becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided. The Company 

shall promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor on such Bonds) to make any 

payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Bonds. 

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Bonds of any series, it shall, on or before each due 

date of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Bonds, deposit with such Paying Agents sums 

sufficient (without duplication) to pay the principal and premium or interest so becoming due, such sums to be held in 

trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the 

Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by it so to act. 

Upon their appointment as Paying Agent, the Company shall cause each Paying Agent for the Bonds of any series, other 

than the Company or the Trustee, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall 

agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent shall: 

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Bonds in 

trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of 

as herein provided; 

(b) give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor upon such Bonds) to make any payment of 

principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Bonds; and 

(c) at any time during the continuance of any such failure, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the 

Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent and furnish to the Trustee such information as it possesses 

regarding the names and addresses of the Persons entitled to such sums. 

The Company may at any time pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in 

trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which 

such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent and, if so stated in a Company Order delivered to the Trustee, 

in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such 

Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

Unless otherwise prescribed by applicable law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held 

by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Bond and 

remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and 

payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from

such trust without further action by the Company, Trustee or any Paying Agent; and, upon such payment or discharge, the 

Holder of such Bond shall, as an unsecured general creditor and not as the Holder of an Outstanding Bond, look only to 

the Company for payment of the amount so due and payable and remaining unpaid, and all liability of the Trustee or such 

Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; 

provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment to the 

Company, shall, upon receipt of a Company Request and at the expense of the Company, cause to be mailed, on one 

occasion only, notice to such Holder that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which 

shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining 

will be paid to the Company. 

SECTION 7.04. Corporate Existence. 

Subject to the rights of the Company under Article XII, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to 

preserve and keep its corporate existence in full force and effect. 

SECTION 7.05. Waiver of Certain Covenants. 

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in 

(a) any covenant or restriction specified with respect to the Bonds of any one or more series, if before the time for such 

compliance the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series 

with respect to which compliance with such covenant or restriction is to be omitted, considered as one class, shall, by Act 

of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision 

or condition; provided, however, that no such waiver shall be effective as to any of the matters contemplated in clause (a), 

(b) or (c) in Section 13.02 without the consent of the Holders specified in such Section; and 

(b) Section 7.04 or 7.07 or Article XII if, before the time for such compliance, the Holders of not less than a majority in 

principal amount of Bonds Outstanding under this Indenture shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance 

in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition; 

but, in either case, no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so 

expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the 

Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

SECTION 7.06. Annual Officer’s Certificate as to Compliance. 

Not later than June 1 in each year, commencing June 1, 2018, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate (which 

need not comply with Section 1.02) executed by the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the 

principal accounting officer of the Company, as to such officer’s knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all 

conditions and covenants under this Indenture, such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or 

requirement of notice under this Indenture.

SECTION 7.07. Limitation on Liens. 

(a) The Company will not, nor will it permit any Significant Subsidiary to, (1) issue, incur, assume or permit to exist any 

Debt, if such Debt is secured by a Lien on any Principal Property (whether such Principal Property was owned at the Issue 

Date or thereafter acquired), unless the Company provides that Outstanding Bonds will be equally and ratably secured by 

such Liens for as long as any such Debt shall be so secured or (2) incur or permit to exist any Attributable Debt in respect 

of Principal Property; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to: 

(i) any Liens existing on the Issue Date; 

(ii) to the extent the Company or any Significant Subsidiary consolidates with, or merges with or into, another entity, 

Liens on the property of such entity securing Debt in existence on the date of such consolidation or merger, provided that 

such Debt and Liens were not created or incurred in anticipation of such consolidation or merger and that such Liens do 

not extend to or cover any such Principal Property; 

(iii) Liens on property acquired after the Issue Date and existing at the time of such acquisition, as long as the Lien was 

not created or incurred in anticipation thereof and does not extend to or cover any other Principal Property; 

(iv) Liens of any kind, including purchase money Liens, conditional sales agreements or title retention agreements and 

similar agreements, upon any property acquired, constructed, developed or improved by the Company or any Significant 

Subsidiary (whether alone or in association with others) which do not exceed the cost or value of the property acquired, 

constructed, developed or improved and which are created prior to, at the time of, or within twelve (12) months after such 

acquisition (or in the case of property constructed, developed or improved, within twelve (12) months after the completion 

of such construction, development or improvement and commencement of full commercial operation of such property, 

whichever is later) to secure or provide for the payment of any part of the purchase price or cost thereof; provided that the 

Liens shall not extend to any Principal Property other than the property so acquired, constructed, developed or improved; 

(v) Liens in favor of the United States, any state or any foreign country or any department, agency or instrumentality or 

political subdivision of any such jurisdiction to secure payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any 

indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of constructing or 

improving the property subject to such Lien, including Liens related to governmental obligations the interest on which is 

tax-exempt under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code or any successor section of the Internal Revenue Code; 

(vi) Liens in favor of the Company, one or more Significant Subsidiaries of the Company, one or more wholly-owned 

Subsidiaries of the Company or any of the foregoing combination; and

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 4898-5 Filed: 11/27/19 Entered: 11/27/19 15:18:36 Page 41

of 115
(vii) replacements, extensions or renewals (or successive replacements, extensions or renewals), in whole or in part, of any 

Lien, or of any agreement, referred to above in clauses (i) through (vi) inclusive, or replacements, extensions or renewals 

of the Debt secured thereby (to the extent that the amount of Debt secured by any such Lien is not increased from the 

amount originally so secured, plus any premium, interest, fee or expenses payable in connection with any replacements, 

refundings, refinancings, remarketings, extensions or renewals); provided that such replacement, extension or renewal is 

limited to all or a part of the same property (plus improvements thereon or additions or accessions thereto) that secured the 

Lien replaced, extended or renewed. 

(b) Notwithstanding the restriction in subsection (a) of this Section 7.07, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary may 

(1) issue, incur or assume Debt secured by a Lien not described in clauses (i) through (vii) of subsection (a) above on any 

Principal Property owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired without providing that the Outstanding Bonds be equally 

and ratably secured with such Lien and (2) issue or permit to exist Attributable Debt in respect of Principal Property, in 

either case, so long as the aggregate amount of such secured Debt and Attributable Debt, together with the aggregate 

amount of all other Debt secured by Liens on Principal Property not described in clauses (i) through (vii) of subsection 

(a) above then outstanding and all other Attributable Debt in respect of Principal Property, does not exceed 10% of the Net 

Tangible Assets of the Company, as determined by the Company as of a month end not more than 90 days prior to the 

closing or consummation of the proposed transaction. 

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.07, in the event that any Lien at any time meets the criteria 

of more than one of the categories described in clauses (i) through (vii) above of Section 7.07(a), or is entitled to be 

created pursuant to Section 7.07(b), the Company will be permitted to classify (and later reclassify) in whole or in part in 

its sole discretion such Lien in any manner that complies with this Section 7.07. 

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Debt secured by 

Liens on Principal Property, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in a foreign currency will be 

calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Debt was incurred, in the case of term 

Debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Debt; provided that if such Debt is incurred to refinance other 

Debt denominated in the same foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated 

restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, the

Dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of the 

refinancing Debt does not exceed the principal amount of the Debt being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision 

of this Section 7.07, the maximum amount of Debt secured by Liens on Principal Property that the Company or any 

Significant Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant will not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of 

fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. 

(e) For purposes of this Section 7.07, “Debt” of a Significant Subsidiary shall mean any debt of such Significant 

Subsidiary for money borrowed and guarantees by such Significant Subsidiary of debt for money borrowed, but in each 

case excluding liabilities in respect of Capital Lease Obligations or Swap Agreements.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

SECTION 8.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Bonds. 

Any Bond or Bonds, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, shall be deemed to have been paid and no longer 

Outstanding for all purposes of this Indenture, and the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof shall be 

satisfied and discharged, if there shall have been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than 

the Company), in trust: 

(a) money in an amount which shall be sufficient, or 

(b) in the case of a deposit made prior to the Maturity of such Bonds or portions thereof, Eligible Obligations, which shall 

not contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment thereof at the option of the issuer thereof, the 

principal of and the interest on which when due, without any regard to reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, 

together with the money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, shall be sufficient, or 

(c) a combination of (a) or (b) which shall be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, 

if any, due and to become due on such Bonds or portions thereof; 

provided, however, that in the case of the provision for payment or redemption of less than all the Bonds of any series, 

such Bonds or portions thereof shall have been selected by the Bond Registrar as provided herein and, in the case of a 

redemption, the notice requisite to the validity of such redemption shall have been given or irrevocable authority shall 

have been given by the Company to the Trustee to give such notice, under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee; and 

provided, further, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee and such Paying Agent: 

(x) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of such Bonds, a Company Order stating that the money and 

Eligible Obligations deposited in accordance with this Section shall be held in trust, as provided in Section 8.03; 

(y) if Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such obligations constitute 

Eligible Obligations and do not contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment thereof at the option of 

the issuer thereof, and an opinion of an Independent public Accountant of nationally recognized standing, selected by the 

Company, to the effect that the other requirements set forth in clause (b) above have been satisfied; and 

(z) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of such Bonds, an Officer’s Certificate stating the 

Company’s intention that, upon delivery of such Officer’s Certificate, its indebtedness in respect of such Bonds or 

portions thereof will have been satisfied and discharged as contemplated in this Section.

Upon the deposit of money or Eligible Obligations, or both, in accordance with this Section, together with the documents 

required by clauses (x), (y) and (z) above, as applicable, the Trustee shall, upon Company Request, acknowledge in 

writing that such Bonds or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture and that the 

entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof has been satisfied and discharged as contemplated in this Section. In 

the event that all of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph shall have been satisfied in respect of any Bonds or

portions thereof except that, for any reason, the Officer’s Certificate specified in clause (z) (if otherwise required) shall not 

have been delivered, such Bonds or portions thereof shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of 

this Indenture, and the Holders of such Bonds or portions thereof shall nevertheless be no longer entitled to the benefits of 

this Indenture (other than with respect to such deposit) or of any of the covenants of the Company under Article VII 

(except the covenants contained in Sections 7.02 and 7.03) or any other covenants made in respect of such Bonds or 

portions thereof, but the indebtedness of the Company in respect of such Bonds or portions thereof shall not be deemed to 

have been satisfied and discharged prior to Maturity for any other purpose; and, upon Company Request, the Trustee shall 

acknowledge in writing that such Bonds or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this 

Indenture. 

If payment at Stated Maturity of less than all of the Bonds of any series is to be provided for in the manner and with the 

effect provided in this Section, the Bond Registrar shall select such Bonds, or portions of principal amount thereof, in the 

manner specified by Section 6.03 for selection for redemption of less than all the Bonds of a series. 

In the event that Bonds which shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture, and, if such is the case, in 

respect of which the Company’s indebtedness shall have been satisfied and discharged, all as provided in this Section, do 

not mature and are not to be redeemed within the sixty (60) day period commencing with the date of the deposit of 

moneys or Eligible Obligations, as aforesaid, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, give a notice, in the same 

manner as a notice of redemption with respect to such Bonds, to the Holders of such Bonds to the effect that such deposit 

has been made and the effect thereof. 

Notwithstanding that any Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture, as aforesaid, the 

obligations of the Company and the Trustee in respect of such Bonds under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 6.04, 7.02, 7.03, 

10.07 and 10.15 and this Article shall survive. 

The Company shall pay, and shall indemnify the Trustee or any Paying Agent with which Eligible Obligations shall have 

been deposited as provided in this Section against, any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against such 

Eligible Obligations or the principal or interest received in respect of such Eligible Obligations, including, but not limited

to, any such tax payable by any entity deemed, for tax purposes, to have been created as a result of such deposit. 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) if, at any time after a Bond would be deemed to have been paid for 

purposes of this Indenture, and, if such is the case, the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof would be deemed to

state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, such Bond shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been 

paid and any satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof shall retroactively be deemed 

not to have been effected, and such Bond shall be deemed to remain Outstanding and (b) any satisfaction and discharge of

SECTION 8.02. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as hereinafter expressly provided), and 

the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute such instruments as the Company shall reasonably request to 

evidence and acknowledge the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when: 

(a) no Bonds remain Outstanding hereunder;

(c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all 

conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied 

with; 

provided, however, that if, in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 8.01, any Bond, previously deemed to have 

been paid for purposes of this Indenture, shall be deemed retroactively not to have been so paid, this Indenture shall 

thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been satisfied and discharged, as aforesaid, and to remain in full force and 

effect, and the Company shall execute and deliver such instruments as the Trustee shall reasonably request to evidence and 

acknowledge the same. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as aforesaid, the obligations of the Company and the 

Trustee under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 6.04, 7.02, 7.03, 10.07 and 10.15 and this Article shall survive.

evidence the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

SECTION 8.03. Application of Trust Money. 

Neither the Eligible Obligations nor the money deposited pursuant to Section 8.01, nor the principal or interest payments 

on any such Eligible Obligations, shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be held in trust for, the 

payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Bonds or portions of principal amount thereof 

in respect of which such deposit was made, all subject, however, to the provisions of Section 7.03; provided, however, that 

any cash received from such principal or interest payments on such Eligible Obligations, if not then needed for such 

purpose, shall, to the extent practicable and upon Company Request and delivery to the Trustee of the documents referred 

to in subclause (y) of clause (c) in Section 8.01, be invested pursuant to a Company Order in Eligible Obligations 

designated and selected by the Company of the type described in clause (b) in Section 8.01

maturing at such times and in such amounts as shall be sufficient, together with any other moneys and the proceeds of any 

other Eligible Obligations then held by the Trustee, to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if 

any, due and to become due on such Bonds or portions thereof on and prior to the Maturity thereof, and interest earned 

from such reinvestment shall be paid over to the Company as received; and provided, further, that any moneys held in

“Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to the Bonds, means any of the following events which shall have 

occurred and be continuing:

(b) the failure to pay the principal of, or premium, if any, on any Bond after the same becomes due and payable; or

Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least thirty-three percent (33%) in 

principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be 

remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, unless the Trustee is directed by the Holders of a 

principal amount of Bonds not less than the principal amount of Bonds the Holders of which gave such notice, as the case 

may be, to agree in writing to an extension of such period prior to its expiration; or 

(d) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in 

an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other 

similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a 

petition by one or more Persons other than the Company seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition 

of or in respect of the Company under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or 

appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official for the Company or for

of 115
(e) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state 

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a 

bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Company to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company 

in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or to 

the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Company, or the filing by the 

Company of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state 

bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or the consent by the Company to the filing of such petition or to the 

appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official 

of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by the Company of a general assignment for the 

benefit of creditors, or an admission in writing by the Company of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become 

due; or 

(f) the occurrence of any event of default as defined in any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be 

issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any Debt of the Company, whether such Debt existed on the Issue 

Date or shall thereafter be created, if such event of default: 

(i) is caused by a failure to pay principal after final maturity of such Debt after the expiration of the grace period provided 

in such Debt (a “Payment Default”), or 

(ii) results in the acceleration of such Debt prior to its express maturity, 

and in each case, the principal amount of any such Debt, together with the principal amount of any other such Debt under 

which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $150,000,000 or 

more. 

For purposes of Section 9.01(f), the amount of $150,000,000 shall be increased in any calendar year subsequent to 2017 

by the same percentage increase in the CPI Index for the period commencing January 1, 2017 and ending on January 1 of 

the applicable calendar year. 

SECTION 9.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less 

than thirty-three percent (33%) in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, considered as one class, may 

declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to 

the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon such declaration such principal amount (or specified 

amount), together with premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, thereon, shall become immediately due and payable; 

provided, however, that with respect to an Event of Default described in Section 9.01(d) or (e), the principal amount of all 

Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by the Trustee or Holders. 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the Bonds then Outstanding shall have been made, 

but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due shall have been obtained by the Trustee as provided in this 

Article, the Event or Events of Default giving rise to such declaration of acceleration shall, without further act and 

notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 316(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, be deemed to have been waived, 

and such declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 4898-5 Filed: 11/27/19 Entered: 11/27/19 15:18:36 Page 47

of 115
(a) the Company shall have paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 

(i) all overdue interest, if any, on all Bonds then Outstanding; 

(ii) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Bonds then Outstanding which have become due otherwise than by such 

declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Bonds; and 

(iii) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 10.07; and 

(b) any other Event or Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of Bonds which shall have become 

due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 9.13. 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

SECTION 9.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 9.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company 

shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds with respect to which such Event 

of Default shall have occurred, the whole amount then due and payable on such Bonds for principal and premium, if any, 

and interest, if any, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the 

Trustee under Section 10.07. 

If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of 

an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such 

proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such 

Bonds and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the 

Company or any other obligor upon such Bonds, wherever situated. No recovery of any such judgment by the Trustee 

shall affect or impair any rights, powers or remedies of the Trustee hereunder, or any rights, powers or remedies of the 

Holders of the Bonds. 

SECTION 9.04. Application of Money Collected. 

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article, including amounts collected pursuant to Section 9.03 (after 

the deductions therein provided) shall be applied in the following order, to the extent permitted by law, at the date or dates

fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or premium, if any, or interest, 

if any, upon presentation of the Bonds and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender 

thereof if fully paid: 

First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.07; 

42 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 4898-5 Filed: 11/27/19 Entered: 11/27/19 15:18:36 Page 48

of 115
Second: To the payment of the whole amount then due and unpaid upon the Outstanding Bonds for principal and 

premium, if any, and interest, if any, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected; and in 

case such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon such Bonds, then to the 

payment of such principal and interest, if any, thereon without any preference or priority, ratably according to the 

aggregate amount so due and unpaid, with any balance then remaining to the payment of premium, if any, and overdue 

interest, if any, ratably as aforesaid, all to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that any money 

collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.03 shall first be applied to the payment of interest accrued on the principal 

of Outstanding Bonds; and 

Third: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the 

same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 

SECTION 9.05. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, 

composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Bonds or the property of 

the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Bonds 

shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee 

shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and 

empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in 

respect of the Bonds and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the 

claims of the Trustee (including any claim for amounts due to the Trustee under Section 10.07) and of the Holders allowed 

in such judicial proceeding, and 

(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the 

same; 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial 

proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder 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 amounts due it under 

Section 10.07. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize 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 Bonds 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 9.06. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Bonds. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or on the Bonds may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee 

without the possession of any of the Bonds or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such 

proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of 

judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of 

the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been 

recovered. 

SECTION 9.07. Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the 

appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 

(a) such Holder shall have previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 

(b) the Holders of at least thirty-three percent (33%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding shall 

have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as 

Trustee hereunder; 

(c) such Holder or Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and 

liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

(d) the Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to 

institute any such proceeding; and 

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee during such sixty (60) day 

period by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding; 

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by 

virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such 

Holders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under 

this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. 

SECTION 9.08. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Bond shall have the right, which is absolute and 

unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07) interest, if any, on 

such Bond on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Bond (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption 

Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the 

consent of such Holder.

SECTION 9.09. 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 shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have 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 such Holder shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all 

rights and remedies of the Trustee and such Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

SECTION 9.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, 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 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 9.11. 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. 

Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to 

time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

SECTION 9.12. Control by Holders of Bonds. 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of 

the Bonds then Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any 

remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee hereunder; provided, however, 

that 

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and could not involve the Trustee in 

personal liability in circumstances where indemnity would not, in the Trustee’s sole discretion, be adequate, and 

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 

SECTION 9.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

Before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due shall have been obtained by the Trustee as in this Article 

provided, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding may on behalf of the 

Holders of all the Bonds then Outstanding waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default

(a) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Bond Outstanding, or 

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 13.02 cannot be modified or amended without the 

consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond of any series. 

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any and all Events of Default arising therefrom shall be 

deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or 

other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

SECTION 9.14. Undertaking for Costs. 

The Company and the Trustee agree, and each Holder of Bonds by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, 

that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or 

in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in 

such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, 

including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith 

of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit 

instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, 

holding in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or to 

any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if 

any, on any Bond on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Bond (or, in the case of redemption, on 

or after the Redemption Date). 

SECTION 9.15. Waiver of Stay and Extension Laws. 

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in 

any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law, now or hereafter in effect, in 

order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Indenture; and the Company, for itself and all who may claim under it, 

so far as it or they now or hereafter may lawfully do so, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws. 

ARTICLE X 

THE TRUSTEE 

SECTION 10.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, 

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no

implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

of 115
(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the 

correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the 

requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are 

specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine 

whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 

(b) In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and 

powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would 

exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its 

own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct or its own bad faith, except that: 

(i) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section; 

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be

proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance 

with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, as provided herein, 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; and 

(iv) 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 to it. 

(d) 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 Section. 

SECTION 10.02. Notice of Defaults. 

Within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any default hereunder of which the Trustee has received written notice, the 

Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default 

shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of 

(or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Bond, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so 

long as the board of directors, executive committee or a trust committee of directors or a Responsible Officer of the 

Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders; provided, further, that, 

in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 9.01(c), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at 

least sixty (60) days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event 

which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.

The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default hereunder unless and until a Responsible Officer shall 

have received written notice thereof at its Corporate Trust Office. In the absence of such actual knowledge or notice, the 

Trustee may conclusively assume that no such default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture. Except as 

otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or 

observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or of any of the documents executed in 

connection with Bonds issued hereunder, or as to the existence of a default or Event of Default hereunder. 

SECTION 10.03. Certain Rights of Trustee. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 10.01 and to the applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act: 

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,

evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by

prescribed herein) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate; 

(d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and 

complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and 

in reliance thereon; 

(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 or direction of any Holder pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee 

reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance 

with such request or direction; 

(f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, 

statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of

into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, 

it shall (subject to applicable legal requirements) be entitled to examine, during normal business hours, the books, records 

and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall

the Bonds then Outstanding delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 

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

or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or 

affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 

then, in any such case, (x) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee or (y) subject to Section 9.14, any 

Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly

Trustee or Trustees.

Trustee for any cause (other than as contemplated in clause (y) in subsection (d) of this Section), the Company, by a Board 

Resolution, shall take prompt steps to appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees and shall comply with the applicable 

requirements of Section 10.11. If, within one (1) year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of 

such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds 

then Outstanding delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith 

upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 10.11, become the 

successor Trustee and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee 

shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by 

Section 10.11, the Trustee or the Holders of at least ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the then 

Outstanding Bonds may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(f) So long as no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, an Event of Default shall have

successor Trustee, effective as of a date specified therein, and (ii) an instrument of acceptance of such appointment, 

effective as of such date, by such successor Trustee in accordance with Section 10.11, the Trustee shall be deemed to have 

resigned as contemplated in subsection (b) of this Section, the successor Trustee shall be deemed

to have been appointed pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section and such appointment shall be deemed to have been 

accepted as contemplated in Section 10.11, all as of such date, and all other provisions of this Section and Section 10.11 

shall be applicable to such resignation, appointment and acceptance except to the extent inconsistent with this subsection 

(f). 

(g) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a 

successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders as their names 

and addresses appear in the Bond Register or as required by applicable Depositary procedures. Each notice shall include 

the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

SECTION 10.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, 

acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and 

thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without 

any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring 

Trustee. Such retiring Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, 

powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property 

and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 

(b) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any instruments which fully vest in and 

confirm to such successor Trustee all rights, powers and trusts referred to in subsection (a) of this Section. 

(c) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be 

qualified and eligible under this Article. 

SECTION 10.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any 

corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any 

corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the 

Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the 

execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Bonds shall have 

been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation 

to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Bonds so authenticated with the same effect 

as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Bonds. 

SECTION 10.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

If the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any other obligor upon the Bonds (other than by reason of a 

relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), the Trustee shall be subject to any and all applicable 

provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company or such other obligor.

SECTION 10.14. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustees. 

At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction, the Company and the Trustee 

shall have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of at least thirty-three percent 

(33%) in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, the Company shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the 

execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by 

the Trustee and, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, by the Company either to act as co-trustee 

under this Indenture, jointly with the Trustee, or to act as separate trustee under this Indenture, in either case with such 

powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in the capacity 

aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section.

If the Company does not join in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or if

an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment. 

Should any written instrument or instruments from the Company be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so 

appointed to more fully confirm to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such 

instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company. 

Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to 

the following conditions: 

(i) the Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered, and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the

custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by the Trustee hereunder shall be exercised solely by the 

Trustee; 

(ii) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed 

upon and exercised or performed either by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as 

shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law 

of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to 

perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such 

co-trustee or separate trustee; 

(iii) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Company, may accept 

the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, if an Event of Default 

shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such 

co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Company. Upon the written request of the Trustee, the 

Company shall join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper 

to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be 

appointed in the manner provided in this Section;

(iv) neither the Trustee nor any co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or 

omission of any other trustee hereunder; and 

(v) any Act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and 

separate trustee. 

SECTION 10.15. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Bonds of one or more series, which shall 

be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Bonds of such series issued upon original issuance, exchange, 

registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Bonds so authenticated shall be 

entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee 

hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Bonds by the Trustee or the 

Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of 

the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an 

Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a 

corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any state or territory thereof or the District 

of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a 

combined capital and surplus of not less than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) and subject to supervision or 

examination by federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, 

pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the 

combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set 

forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in 

accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and 

with the effect specified in this Section. 

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, 

or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a 

party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an 

Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible 

under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the 

Authenticating Agent. 

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The 

Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such 

Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in 

case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the

Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the

Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with 

all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating 

Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services 

under this Section. 

The provisions of Sections 3.03, 10.04 and 10.05 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent. 

If an appointment with respect to the Bonds of one or more series shall be made pursuant to this Section, the Bonds of 

such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of

authentication substantially in the following form:

as shall be required by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that the electronic filing with the Commission through 

the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or any successor system providing for free 

public access to such filings) shall satisfy the Company’s obligation to provide such reports, information and documents to 

the Trustee and the Holders. 

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 constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from 

information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the 

Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 

ARTICLE XII 

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE OR OTHER TRANSFER 

SECTION 12.01. Company May Consolidate, etc., Only on Certain Terms.

conveyance or other transfer, or which leases, all or substantially all of the Principal Property shall be a corporation, shall 

be organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia (such 

corporation being hereinafter sometimes called the “Successor Corporation”) and shall execute and deliver to the Trustee 

an indenture supplemental hereto, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which in the case of a consolidation, 

merger, conveyance or other transfer, or in the case of a lease if the term thereof extends beyond the last Stated Maturity 

of the Bonds then Outstanding, contains an assumption by the Successor Corporation of the due and punctual payment of 

the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all the Bonds then Outstanding and the performance and 

observance of every covenant and condition of this Indenture to be performed or observed by the Company, and

any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, and

(d) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the 

merger, consolidation, conveyance, lease or transfer, as the case may be, fully complies with all provisions of this 

Indenture; provided, however, that the delivery of such an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall not be 

required with respect to any merger, consolidation, conveyance, transfer or lease between the Company and any of its 

wholly-owned Subsidiaries. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may merge or consolidate with or transfer all or substantially all of its assets 

to an Affiliate that has no significant assets or liabilities and was formed solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction 

of organization of the Company or the form of organization of the Company or for the purpose of forming a holding 

company; provided that the amount of indebtedness of the Company is not increased thereby; and provided, further that 

the successor assumes all obligations of the Company under this Indenture.

Upon any consolidation or merger or any conveyance or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Principal Property 

in accordance with Section 12.01, the Successor Corporation shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise 

every power and right of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Corporation had 

been named as the “Company” herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Successor Corporation may 

execute and deliver to the Trustee, and thereupon the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, Bonds in accordance with the 

provisions hereof. 

All Bonds so executed by the Successor Corporation, and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, shall in all respects 

be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all Bonds executed, authenticated and delivered prior 

to the time such consolidation, merger, conveyance or other transfer became effective. 

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease, changes in phraseology and form may be made in the 

Bonds thereafter to be issued and the documentation thereafter to be delivered hereunder as may be appropriate to reflect 

such occurrence. 

SECTION 12.03. Property of Successor Corporation. 

Unless, in the case of a consolidation, merger, conveyance or other transfer contemplated by Section 12.01, the indenture 

supplemental hereto contemplated in clause (a) in Section 12.01, or any other indenture, so provides, none of the 

properties:

prior to the time of effectiveness of such transaction or 

(b) acquired by the Successor Corporation at or after the time of effectiveness of such transaction,

giving effect to such transaction) shall be released and discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture 

and on and under all Bonds then Outstanding (unless the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an instrument in 

which it shall waive such release and discharge) and the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that the Company has been 

so released and discharged. 

SECTION 12.05. Merger Into Company. 

(a) Nothing in this Indenture shall be deemed to prevent or restrict any consolidation or merger after the consummation of 

which the Company would be the surviving or resulting company or any conveyance or other transfer, or lease, of any part 

of the Principal Property which does not constitute the entirety, or substantially the entirety, thereof. 

(b) Unless, in the case of a consolidation or merger described in subsection (a) of this Section, an indenture supplemental 

hereto shall otherwise provide, none of the properties acquired by the Company in or as a result of such transaction or any 

improvements, extensions or additions to such properties or any renewals, replacements or substitutions of or for any part

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Trust Indenture Act as in effect on the Issue Date, or at any time 

hereafter shall be amended and: 

(x) if any such amendment shall require one or more changes to any provisions hereof or the inclusion herein of any 

additional provisions, or shall by operation of law be deemed to effect such changes or incorporate such provisions by 

reference or otherwise, this Indenture shall be deemed to have been amended so as to conform to such amendment to the 

Trust Indenture Act, and the Company and the Trustee may, without the consent of any Holders, enter into an indenture 

supplemental hereto to evidence such amendment hereof; or 

(y) if any such amendment shall permit one or more changes to, or the elimination of, any provisions hereof which, as of 

the Issue Date or at any time hereafter, are required by the Trust Indenture Act to be contained herein or are contained 

herein to reflect any provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as in effect at such date, this Indenture shall be deemed to have 

been amended to effect such changes or elimination, and the Company and the Trustee may, without the consent of any 

Holders, enter into an indenture supplemental hereto to amend this Indenture to effect such changes or elimination. 

SECTION 13.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders.

Subject to the provisions of Section 13.01, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate 

principal amount of the Bonds of all series then Outstanding under this Indenture, considered as one class, by Act of said 

Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or 

indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any 

of the provisions of, this Indenture; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of more than one series Outstanding 

hereunder and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, 

but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal 

amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and 

provided, further, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond 

of each series so directly affected: 

(a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Bond, or reduce the

principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon (or the amount of any installment of interest thereon) or change the 

method of calculating such rate or reduce any premium payable thereon, or change the coin or currency (or other 

property), in which any Bond or premium, if any, or interest, if any, thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit 

for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Maturity of any Bond, without, in any such case, the consent of 

the Holder of such Bond; or 

(b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of any series, the consent of the Holders of which 

is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of 

compliance with any provision of this Indenture or of any default hereunder and its consequences, or reduce the 

requirements of Section 14.04 for quorum or voting; or

of 115
(c) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 7.05 or Section 9.13 with respect to the Bonds of any series 

(except to increase the percentages in principal amount referred to in this Section or such other Sections or to provide that 

other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holders of all Bonds of such 

series) without, in any such case, the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond of such series; provided, however, 

that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the 

Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of 

Section 13.01(e). 

A supplemental indenture which (x) changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has 

expressly been included solely for the benefit of the Holders of, or which is to remain in effect only so long as there shall 

be Outstanding, Bonds of one or more specified series, or (y) modifies the rights of the Holders of Bonds of such series 

with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the 

Holders of Bonds of any other series. 

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed 

supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 

SECTION 13.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the 

modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to 

Section 10.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate stating that the 

execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and all conditions precedent to the 

execution of such supplemental indenture have been complied with. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter 

into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, immunities or liabilities under this 

Indenture or otherwise. 

SECTION 13.04. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 

Upon the execution and delivery of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in 

accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every 

Holder of Bonds theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. Any supplemental 

indenture permitted by this Article may restate this Indenture in its entirety, and, upon the execution and delivery thereof, 

any such restatement shall supersede this Indenture as theretofore in effect for all purposes. 

SECTION 13.05. Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. 

Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture 

Act.

SECTION 13.06. Reference in Bonds to Supplemental Indentures. 

Bonds of any series, authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article 

may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in 

such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Bonds of any series so modified as to conform, in 

the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the 

Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Bonds of such series. 

SECTION 13.07. Modification Without Supplemental Indenture. 

To the extent, if any, that the terms of any particular series of Bonds shall have been established, and not in a supplemental

indenture, additions to, changes in or the elimination of any of such terms may be effected by means of a supplemental 

Board Resolution or a supplemental Officer’s Certificate, as the case may be, delivered to, and accepted by, the Trustee; 

provided, however, that such supplemental Board Resolution or supplemental Officer’s Certificate shall not be accepted 

by the Trustee or otherwise be effective unless all conditions set forth in this Indenture which would be required to be 

satisfied if such additions, changes or elimination were contained in a supplemental indenture shall have been 

appropriately satisfied, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee. Upon the 

acceptance thereof by the Trustee, any such supplemental Board Resolution or supplemental Officer’s Certificate shall be 

deemed to be a “supplemental indenture” for purposes of Section 13.04 and 13.06. 

ARTICLE XIV

(b) The Trustee may be asked to call a meeting of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, or all, series, by the Company or 

by the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of all of such series, considered as one 

class, for any purpose specified in Section 14.01, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed

determine the time and place for such meeting and may call such meeting by giving notice thereof in the manner provided 

in subsection (a) of this Section, or shall direct the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, to give such 

notice. If the Trustee shall have been asked to call such a meeting by Holders in accordance with this subsection (b), and 

the Trustee shall not have given the notice of such meeting within twenty-one (21) days after receipt of such request or 

shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then the Holders of Bonds of such series, in 

the principal amount above specified, may determine the time and the place for such meeting, such place to be approved 

by the Company, and may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in subsection (a) of 

this Section.

Outstanding Bonds of such series are present in person or by proxy and if representatives of the Company and the Trustee 

are present, or if notice is waived in writing before or after the meeting by the Holders of all Outstanding Bonds of such 

series, or by such of them as are not present at the meeting in person or by proxy, and by the Company and the Trustee. 

SECTION 14.03. Persons Entitled to Vote at Meetings.

The Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of the series with respect

this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in 

principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of such series, considered as one class, the Persons entitled to vote such 

specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of such series, considered as one class, shall constitute 

a quorum. In the absence of a quorum within one hour of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if 

convened at the request of Holders of Bonds of such series, be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned 

for such period as may be determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the 

absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for such period as 

may be determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Except as

given as provided in Section 1.06 not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be 

reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of 

the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of such series which shall constitute a quorum. 

Except as limited by Section 13.02, any resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which 

a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of not less than a majority in 

aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of the series with respect to which such meeting shall have been 

called, considered as one class; provided, however, that, except as so limited, any resolution with respect to any action 

which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a 

majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of such series, considered as one class, may be adopted at a 

meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of 

the Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of such series, considered as one 

class. 

Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Bonds duly held in accordance with this Section 

shall be binding on all the Holders of Bonds of the series with respect to which such meeting shall have been held, 

whether or not present or represented at the meeting. 

SECTION 14.05. Attendance at Meetings; Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of 

Meetings. 

(a) Attendance at meetings of Holders of Bonds may be in person or by proxy; and, to the extent permitted by law, any 

such proxy shall remain in effect and be binding upon any future Holder of the Bonds with respect to which it was given 

unless and until specifically revoked by the Holder or future Holder (except as provided in Section 1.04(g)) of such Bonds 

before being voted. 

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may 

deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Bonds in regard to proof of the holding of such Bonds and of the 

appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination 

of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the 

meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations and approved by 

the Company, the holding of Bonds shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.04 and the appointment of any 

proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.04. Such regulations may provide that written instruments 

appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 1.04 

or other proof. 

(c) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall 

have been called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 14.02(b), in which case the Company or the 

Holders of Bonds of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. 

A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a 

majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series represented at the meeting, considered as

at any meeting in respect of any Bond challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not 

Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Bond or proxy. 

(e) Any meeting duly called pursuant to Section 14.02 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time

the meeting, considered as one class; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed 

the signatures of the Holders or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the 

Outstanding Bonds, of the series with respect to which the meeting shall have been called, held or represented by them. 

The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two (2) inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the 

meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written 

reports of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be 

prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to such record the original reports of the inspectors of 

votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth 

a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that such notice was given as provided in Section 14.02 and, if applicable,

The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1(b), authenticate and deliver 

initially one or more Global Bonds that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Bond or 

Global Bonds or the nominee of such Depositary and (b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant 

to such Depositary’s instructions or held by the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary. If such Global Bonds are 

Restricted Global Bonds, then separate Global Bonds shall be issued to represent Rule 144A Global Bonds and Regulation 

S Global Bonds so long as required by law or the Depositary. 

Except as set forth in this Section 2.1(b), beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Bond will not be 

exchangeable for interests in the Rule 144A Global Bond prior to the expiration of the period through and including the 

40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of any Bonds and the closing of such offering (such period, 

the “Restricted Period”) and then, after the expiration of the Restricted Period, may be exchanged for interests in a Rule 

144A Global Bond only upon certification in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee that beneficial 

ownership interests in such Regulation S Global Bond are owned either by non-U.S. persons or U.S. persons who 

purchased such interests in a transaction that did not require registration under the Securities Act. 

Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Bond may be 

exchanged for beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global Bond only if (i) such exchange occurs in connection with a 

transfer of the Bonds pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), (ii) the transferor first delivers to the 

Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in Exhibit 1 hereto) to the effect that the beneficial interest in the 

Regulation S Global Bond is being transferred to a Person who the transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB and is 

purchasing for its own account or the account of a QIB, in each case in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 

144A and (iii) the transfer is in accordance with all applicable securities laws. After the expiration of the Restricted 

Period, such certification requirements shall not apply to such transfers of beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Bond 

representing Regulation S Global Bonds. 

Beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Bond may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an 

interest in the Regulation S Global Bond, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, only if the 

transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in Exhibit 1 hereto) to the effect that such 

transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if available). 

The aggregate principal amount of the Global Bonds may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments 

made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee as provided herein and in the Indenture. 

(c) Certificated Bonds. Except as provided in Section 3.05 of the Indenture, owners of beneficial interests in 

Restricted Global Bonds shall not be entitled to receive Bonds in certificated form. Bonds in certificated form shall be 

exchangeable for beneficial interests in Global Bonds only as provided in Section 3.05 of the Indenture and Section 2.3 

hereof.

2.3 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Bonds. The transfer and exchange of Global Bonds or beneficial interests 

therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Appendix and the Indenture (including applicable 

restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial

interest in a Global Bond shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s 

procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial 

interest in the Global Bond. The Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to 

the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Bond and to debit the account of 

the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Bond being transferred. 

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix, a Global Bond may not be transferred as a 

whole except by the Depositary to a 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. 

(ii) In the event that a Restricted Global Bond is exchanged for Bonds in certificated form pursuant to 

Section 2.4(a) hereof, such Bonds may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially 

consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the 

Bonds intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S or another applicable exemption 

under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the 

Company. 

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Bonds in Certificated Form. When Bonds in certificated form are presented to the 

Registrar with a request (x) to register the transfer of such certificated Bonds or (y) to exchange such certificated Bonds 

for an equal principal amount of certificated Bonds of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the 

transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, 

that the certificated Bonds surrendered for transfer or exchange: 

(i) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably 

satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in 

writing; and 

(ii) if such certificated Bonds are required to bear a Restricted Bonds legend, they are being transferred or 

exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 2.3(c) or pursuant 

to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as 

applicable: 

(A) if such certificated Bonds are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the 

name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or

(B) if such certificated Bonds are being transferred to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof a 

certification to that effect; or 

(C) if such certificated Bonds are being transferred (x) pursuant to an exemption from registration in 

accordance with Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (y) in reliance upon 

another exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act: (I) a certification to that effect (in the form 

provided in Exhibit 1 hereto) and (II) if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence 

reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the applicable legends as 

set forth in Section 2.3(d). 

(c) Restrictions on Transfer of a Bond in Certificated Form for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Bond. A Bond in 

certificated form may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Bond or a Regulation S Global 

Bond except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Bond in certificated 

form, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together 

with: 

(i) certification, in the form set forth on the reverse of the Bond, that such certificated Bond is either 

(A) being transferred to a person reasonably believed to be a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or (B) being transferred 

after expiration of the Restricted Period by a Person who initially purchased such Bond in reliance on Regulation S to a 

buyer who elects to hold its interest in such Bond in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Bond; and 

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Bonds custodian to make, an 

adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Rule 144A Global Bond (in the case of a transfer pursuant to 

clause (c)(i)(A) of this Section 2.3) or Regulation S Global Bond (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (c)(i)(B) of 

this Section 2.3) to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds represented by the Rule 144A 

Global Bond or Regulation S Global Bond, as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the 

Depositary account to be credited with such increase, 

then the Trustee shall cancel such certificated Bond and cause, or direct the Bonds custodian to cause, in accordance with 

the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Bonds custodian, the aggregate principal 

amount of Bonds represented by the Rule 144A Global Bond or Regulation S Global Bond, as applicable, to be increased 

by the aggregate principal amount of the certificated Bond to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the 

account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Bond or Regulation S 

Global Bond, as applicable, equal to the principal amount of the certificated Bond so canceled. If no Rule 144A Global 

Bonds or Regulation S Global Bonds, as applicable, are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall 

authenticate, upon receipt of a Company Order, a new Rule 144A Global Bond or Regulation S Global Bond, as 

applicable, in the appropriate principal amount. 

(d) Legend. 

(i) Except as permitted by the following paragraph (ii) and (iii), each Bond certificate evidencing the 

Restricted Global Bonds (and all Bonds issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in

Reverse of Senior Note 

This Floating Rate Senior Note due November 28, 2018 is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company, 

issued and issuable under the Indenture, dated as of November 29, 2017 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The 

Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any 

successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the respective 

rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds thereunder and 

of the terms and conditions upon which Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Senior Note is a Bond 

within the meaning of the Indenture and is designated as the Floating Rate Senior Notes due November 28, 2018, 

established by the Company under the Indenture. The acceptance of this Senior Note shall be deemed to constitute the 

consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture. 

The interest rate on the Senior Notes will be reset quarterly on February 28, 2018, May 28, 2018 and August 28, 2018 

(each, an “Interest Reset Date”). The Senior Notes will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to three-month LIBOR (as 

defined below) for the applicable Interest Reset Period or Initial Interest Period (each as defined below) plus 0.23% (23 

basis points). The interest rate for the Initial Interest Period will be three-month LIBOR, determined as of two London 

Business Days prior to the Issue Date, plus 0.23% (23 basis points) per annum, which shall be [•]%. [However, upon the 

occurrence or failure to occur of certain events specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall, subject 

to the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, pay additional interest on the principal amount 

of this Note after such event occurs or fails to occur so long as such event continues or fails to occur, as the case may be. 

Such additional interest shall be payable in addition to any other interest payable from time to time with respect to this 

Note.]1

The “Initial Interest Period” will be the period from and including the Issue Date to but excluding the initial Interest 

Reset Date. Thereafter, each “Interest Reset Period” will be the period from and including an Interest Reset Date to but 

excluding the immediately succeeding Interest Reset Date; provided that the final Interest Reset Period for the Senior 

Notes will be the period from and including the Interest Reset Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date of such 

Senior Notes to but excluding the Maturity Date. 

If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Reset Date will be 

postponed to the immediately succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the immediately 

succeeding calendar month, the Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. 

The interest rate in effect on each day will be (i) if that day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of 

the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (ii) if that day is not 

an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most 

recent Interest Reset Date or the Issue Date, as the case may be. 

The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, or the Issue 

Date in the case of the Initial Interest Period, will be the rate determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date.

The “Interest Determination Date” will be the second London Business Day immediately preceding the Issue Date, in the 

case of the initial Interest Reset Period, or thereafter, will be the second London Business Day immediately preceding the 

applicable Interest Reset Date. With respect to any Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine 

three-month LIBOR in accordance with the following provisions: 

(i) LIBOR is the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for the three-month period which appears on Reuters Screen 

LIBOR01 Page (as defined below) at approximately 11:00 a m., London time, on the applicable Interest 

Determination Date. “Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page” means the display designated on page “LIBOR01” on Reuters 

Screen (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that service, any successor service or such other 

service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers’

1 To be included if the Note is an Initial Bond.

Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits). If no rate appears 

on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be determined in accordance 

with the provisions of paragraph (ii) below. 

(ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which no rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page 

as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall 

request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks (which may include affiliates of the 

underwriters) in the London interbank market selected by the Company to provide the Calculation Agent with a 

quotation of the rate at which deposits of U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity, commencing on the second 

London Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, are offered by it to prime banks in 

the London interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date in a 

principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in 

such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date 

will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations as calculated by the Calculation Agent. If fewer than two quotations 

are provided, LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted as of 

approximately 11:00 a m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which 

may include affiliates of the underwriters) selected by the Company for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European 

banks having a three-month maturity commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following such 

Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is 

representative for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as 

aforesaid by the Company are not quoting such rates as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR for such Interest 

Determination Date will be LIBOR determined with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Determination 

Date. 

All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Senior Notes will be rounded, if necessary, 

to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded 

upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts will be 

rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. 

Promptly upon such determination, the Calculation Agent will notify the Company and the Trustee (if the Calculation 

Agent is not the Trustee) of the interest rate for the new Interest Reset Period. Upon request of a Holder of the Senior 

Notes, the Calculation Agent will provide to such Holder the interest rate in effect on the date of such request and, if 

determined, the interest rate for the next Interest Reset Period. 

All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating interest on the Senior Notes shall be 

conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Senior Notes and the Company, absent manifest errors. 

“Business Day” means any day (1) that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banking 

institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close in The City of New York and, for any place of 

payment outside of The City of New York, in such place of payment, and (2) that is also a “London Business Day”, which 

is a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. 

Interest will be payable on February 28, 2018, May 28, 2018, August 28, 2018 and on the Maturity Date (each an 

“Interest Payment Date”). In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Senior Note (other than the 

Maturity Date) is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next 

succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay) with the same 

force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable, except that if such Business Day is in the next 

succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity 

Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the 

next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date payment was originally payable, and 

no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after maturity. 

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest payments, if any, will be the amount of interest accrued from 

and including the last date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the Issue 

Date stated above if no interest has been paid or provided for with respect to this Senior Note) to but excluding 

Ex. 1 - 7 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 4898-5 Filed: 11/27/19 Entered: 11/27/19 15:18:36 Page 88

of 115
the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date. Accrued interest hereon from the Issue Date stated above or from the last 

date to which interest hereon has been paid is calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest 

factor. Such accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day from the Issue Date 

stated above or from the last date to which interest shall have been paid, to the date for which accrued interest is being 

calculated. The interest factor for each day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360. 

All percentages resulting from any calculation hereon will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a 

percentage point, with five-one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards. For example, 9.876545% 

(or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655). All dollar amounts used in or resulting from any calculation 

hereon will be rounded to the nearest cent. 

The interest rate on the Senior Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as 

the same may be modified by United States law of general applicability. 

This Senior Note shall not be subject to redemption prior to its Stated Maturity. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Senior Note or any portion of the 

principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of the Indenture and to be no longer 

Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there 

has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an 

amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, without 

regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the 

Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this 

Senior Note when due. 

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in aggregate 

principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then 

Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by 

Holders); provided, however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar 

events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by 

the Trustee or the Holders. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or 

more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any 

of the provisions of, the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal 

amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of 

more than one series Outstanding under the Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the 

rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a 

majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, 

shall be required; and provided, further, that the Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more 

supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The Indenture also contains 

provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all 

such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the 

Holder of this Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior 

Note and of any Senior Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, 

whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Senior Note. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Senior Note shall not have the right 

to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other 

remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of 

Default, the Holders of at least 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding shall have made 

written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the 

Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate 

principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such written request, and shall have failed 

to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing 

shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Senior Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal 

hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the 

obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on 

this Senior Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Senior Note is 

registrable in the Bond Register, upon surrender of this Senior Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of 

the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Senior Note are payable, duly 

endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the 

Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in 

writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same 

aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and integral 

multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, 

Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and of like tenor of a different 

authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require 

payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Prior to due presentment of this Senior Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of 

the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Senior Note is registered as the owner hereof for all 

purposes, whether or not this Senior Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be 

affected by notice to the contrary. 

This Senior Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New 

York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall

be applicable. 

As provided in the Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest 

with respect to this Senior Note, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the

indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture or the Registration 

Rights Agreement, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the 

Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or 

successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of 

any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Indenture and all the Bonds are 

solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, 

and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of this Senior Note. 

All terms used in this Senior Note which are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the 

Indenture.

PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State 

of California (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person pursuant to the applicable 

provisions of the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., as nominee 

for The Depository Trust Company, or registered assigns, the Principal Amount stated above on the Maturity Date stated 

above, and to pay interest thereon from and including the Issue Date stated above or, in the case of a 3.30% Senior Note 

due December 1, 2027 issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange, from and including the most recent Interest 

Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates 

set forth above and on the Maturity Date stated above, commencing June 1, 2018 at the rate of 3.30% per annum until the 

principal hereof is paid or made available for payment[; provided, however, that, upon the occurrence or failure to occur 

of certain events specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall, subject to the terms and conditions 

set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, pay additional interest on the principal amount of this Note after such 

event occurs or fails to occur so long as such event continues or fails to occur, as the case may be. Such additional interest

shall be payable in addition to any other interest payable from time to time with respect to this Note]2. The interest so 

payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be 

paid to the Person in whose name this 3.30% Senior Note due December 1, 2027 (this “Senior Note,” and together with all 

other 3.30% Senior Notes due December 1, 2027, the “Senior Notes”) (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) is registered at 

the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the May 15 and November 15 preceding 

such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable at the Maturity Date or on a Redemption Date will be 

paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will 

forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose 

name this Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date 

for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Senior 

Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not 

inconsistent with the requirements of the Indenture and any securities exchange, if any, on which the Senior Notes may be 

listed, and upon such notice as may be required by any such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 

Payments of interest on this Senior Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest 

Payment Dates. Interest payments for this Senior Note shall be computed and paid on the basis of the 360-day year of 

twelve 30-day months and will accrue from November 29, 2017 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which 

interest has been paid or duly provided for. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Senior Note 

(other than the Maturity Date) is not a Business Day then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the 

next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay) with the 

same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is 

not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next succeeding Business 

Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after maturity. 

Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Senior Notes shall be made in such coin or currency of the 

United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments of 

principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes represented by a Global Bond shall be made by wire 

transfer of immediately available funds to the Holder of such Global Bond, provided that, in the case of payments of 

principal and premium, if any, such Global Bond is first surrendered to the Paying Agent. If any of the Senior Notes are no 

longer represented by a Global Bond, (i) payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due

on the Maturity Date or earlier redemption of such Senior Notes shall be made at the office of the Paying Agent upon 

surrender of such Senior Notes to the Paying Agent, and (ii) payments of interest shall be made, at the option of the 

Company, subject to such surrender where applicable, (A) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as 

such address shall appear in the Bond Register or (B) by wire transfer to registered Holders of at least $10,000,000 in 

principal amount of Senior Notes at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as such 

Holders may designate in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior to the date for payment.

Reverse of Senior Note 

This 3.30% Senior Note due December 1, 2027 is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company, issued 

and issuable in one or more series under the Indenture, dated as of November 29, 2017 (the “Indenture”), between the 

Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term 

includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the 

respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds 

thereunder and of the terms and conditions upon which Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Senior 

Note is a Bond within the meaning of the Indenture and is designated as the 3.30% Senior Notes due December 1, 2027 

established by the Company under the Indenture and initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $1,150,000,000 

on November 29, 2017. The acceptance of this Senior Note shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by 

the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture. 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company 

(“Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part, (a) at any time prior to September 1, 2027 (the date that is three months 

prior to the Maturity Date) at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: 

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed; or 

(ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments 

of principal and interest on the Senior Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest 

accrued as of the Redemption Date), calculated as if the Maturity Date of such Senior Notes was September 1, 2027 

(the date that is three months prior to the Maturity Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis 

at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 15 basis points, 

plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the Redemption Date; and (b) at 

any time on or after September 1, 2027 (the date that is three months prior to the Maturity Date) at 100% of the principal 

amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the Redemption 

Date. For purposes of this Senior Note, “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected 

by the applicable Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Senior Note, assuming, 

for such purpose, that this Senior Note matured on September 1, 2027 (the date that is three months prior to the Maturity 

Date)), that would be used, at the time of the selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new 

issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Senior Note. 

Interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to Holders of such 

Senior Notes, or one or more Predecessor Bonds, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred 

to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. 

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be in writing and mailed first-class postage-prepaid 

not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Senior Notes to be redeemed 

at the Holder’s registered address; provided, however, that such notice need not state the dollar amount of the Redemption 

Price if such dollar amount has not been determined as of the date such notice is being given to the Holders of the Senior 

Notes being redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Senior Notes (or portions thereof) to be 

redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, 

from and after such Redemption Date such Senior Notes or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. Senior Notes in 

denominations larger than $2,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000. 

In the event of redemption of this Senior Note in part only, a new Senior Note or Senior Notes of like tenor for the 

unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

of 115
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Senior Note or any portion of the 

principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of the Indenture and to be no longer 

Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there 

has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an 

amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, without 

regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the 

Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this 

Senior Note when due. 

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in aggregate 

principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then 

Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by 

Holders); provided, however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar 

events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by 

the Trustee or the Holders. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or 

more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any 

of the provisions of, the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal 

amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of 

more than one series Outstanding under the Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the 

rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a 

majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, 

shall be required; and provided, further, that the Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more 

supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The Indenture also contains 

provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all 

such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the 

Holder of this Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior 

Note and of any Senior Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, 

whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Senior Note. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Senior Note shall not have the right 

to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other 

remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of 

Default, the Holders of at least 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding shall have made 

written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the 

Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate 

principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such written request, and shall have failed 

to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing 

shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Senior Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal 

hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the 

obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on 

this Senior Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Senior Note is 

registrable in the Bond Register, upon surrender of this Senior Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of 

the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Senior Note are payable, duly 

endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the 

Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in 

writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same 

aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and any integral 

multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, 

Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and of like tenor of a different 

authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require 

payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of the transfer of or the exchange of 

(A) any Senior Note of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given 

identifying the serial numbers of the Senior Notes called for redemption, or (B) any Senior Note selected for redemption 

in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Senior Note being redeemed in part. 

Prior to due presentment of this Senior Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of 

the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Senior Note is registered as the owner hereof for all 

purposes, whether or not this Senior Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be 

affected by notice to the contrary. 

This Senior Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New 

York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall

be applicable. 

As provided in the Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest 

with respect to this Senior Note, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the

indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture or the Registration 

Rights Agreement, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the 

Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or 

successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of 

any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Indenture and all the Bonds are 

solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, 

and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of this Senior Note. 

All terms used in this Senior Note which are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the 

Indenture.

PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State

provisions of the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., as nominee 

for The Depository Trust Company, or registered assigns, the Principal Amount stated above on the Maturity Date stated 

above, and to pay interest thereon from and including the Issue Date stated above or, in the case of a 3.95% Senior Note 

due December 1, 2047 issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange, from and including the most recent Interest 

Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates 

set forth above and on the Maturity Date stated above, commencing June 1, 2018 at the rate of 3.95% per annum until the 

principal hereof is paid or made available for payment[; provided, however, that, upon the occurrence or failure to occur 

of certain events specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall, subject to the terms and conditions 

set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, pay additional interest on the principal amount of this Note after such 

event occurs or fails to occur so long as such event continues or fails to occur, as the case may be. Such additional interest

shall be payable in addition to any other interest payable from time to time with respect to this Note]3. The interest so 

payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be 

paid to the Person in whose name this 3.95% Senior Note due December 1, 2047 (this “Senior Note,” and together with all 

other 3.95% Senior Notes due December 1, 2047, the “Senior Notes”) (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) is registered at 

the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the May 15 and November 15 preceding 

such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable at the Maturity Date or on a Redemption Date will be 

paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will 

forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose 

name this Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date 

for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Senior 

Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not 

inconsistent with the requirements of the Indenture and any securities exchange, if any, on which the Senior Notes may be 

listed, and upon such notice as may be required by any such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 

Payments of interest on this Senior Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest 

Payment Dates. Interest payments for this Senior Note shall be computed and paid on the basis of the 360-day year of 

twelve 30-day months and will accrue from November 29, 2017 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which 

interest has been paid or duly provided for. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Senior Note 

(other than the Maturity Date) is not a Business Day then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the 

next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay) with the 

same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is 

not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next succeeding Business 

Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after maturity. 

Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Senior Notes shall be made in such coin or currency of the 

United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments of 

principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes represented by a Global Bond shall be made by wire 

transfer of immediately available funds to the Holder of such Global Bond, provided that, in the case of payments of 

principal and premium, if any, such Global Bond is first surrendered to the Paying Agent. If any of the Senior Notes are no 

longer represented by a Global Bond, (i) payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due on 

3 To be included if the Senior Note is an Initial Bond.

Reverse of Senior Note 

This 3.95% Senior Note due December 1, 2047 is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company, issued 

and issuable in one or more series under the Indenture, dated as of November 29, 2017 (the “Indenture”), between the 

Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term 

includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the 

respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds 

thereunder and of the terms and conditions upon which Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Senior 

Note is a Bond within the meaning of the Indenture and is designated as the 3.95% Senior Notes due December 1, 2047 

established by the Company under the Indenture and initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $850,000 on 

November 29, 2017. The acceptance of this Senior Note shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the 

Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture. 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company 

(“Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part, (a) at any time prior to June 1, 2047 (the date that is six months prior to the 

Maturity Date) at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: 

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed; or 

(ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments 

of principal and interest on the Senior Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest 

accrued as of the Redemption Date), calculated as if the Maturity Date of such Senior Notes was June 1, 2047 (the 

date that is six months prior to the Maturity Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at the 

Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points, 

plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the Redemption Date; and (b) at 

any time on or after June 1, 2047 (the date that is six months prior to the Maturity Date) at 100% of the principal amount 

of the Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the Redemption Date. 

For purposes of this Senior Note, “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the 

applicable Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Senior Note, assuming, for such 

purpose, that this Senior Note matured on June 1, 2047 (the date that is six months prior to the Maturity Date)), that would 

be used, at the time of the selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of 

corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Senior Note. 

Interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to Holders of such 

Senior Notes, or one or more Predecessor Bonds, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred 

to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. 

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be in writing and mailed first-class postage-prepaid 

not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Senior Notes to be redeemed 

at the Holder’s registered address; provided, however, that such notice need not state the dollar amount of the Redemption 

Price if such dollar amount has not been determined as of the date such notice is being given to the Holders of the Senior 

Notes being redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Senior Notes (or portions thereof) to be 

redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, 

from and after such Redemption Date such Senior Notes or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. Senior Notes in 

denominations larger than $2,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000. 

In the event of redemption of this Senior Note in part only, a new Senior Note or Senior Notes of like tenor for the 

unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of the Indenture and to be no longer 

Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there 

has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an 

amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, without 

regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the 

Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this 

Senior Note when due. 

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in aggregate 

principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then 

Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by 

Holders); provided, however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar 

events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by 

the Trustee or the Holders. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or 

more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any 

of the provisions of, the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal 

amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of 

more than one series Outstanding under the Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the 

rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a 

majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, 

shall be required; and provided, further, that the Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more 

supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The Indenture also contains 

provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all 

such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the 

Holder of this Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior 

Note and of any Senior Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, 

whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Senior Note. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Senior Note shall not have the right 

to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other 

remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of 

Default, the Holders of at least 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding shall have made 

written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the 

Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate 

principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such written request, and shall have failed 

to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing 

shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Senior Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal 

hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the 

obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on 

this Senior Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Senior Note is 

registrable in the Bond Register, upon surrender of this Senior Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of 

the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Senior Note are payable, duly 

endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the 

Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in 

writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same 

aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and any integral 

multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, 

Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and of like tenor of a different 

authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require 

payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of the transfer of or the exchange of 

(A) any Senior Note of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given 

identifying the serial numbers of the Senior Notes called for redemption, or (B) any Senior Note selected for redemption 

in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Senior Note being redeemed in part. 

Prior to due presentment of this Senior Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of 

the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Senior Note is registered as the owner hereof for all 

purposes, whether or not this Senior Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be 

affected by notice to the contrary. 

This Senior Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New 

York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall

be applicable. 

As provided in the Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest 

with respect to this Senior Note, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the

indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture or the Registration 

Rights Agreement, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the 

Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or 

successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of 

any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Indenture and all the Bonds are 

solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, 

and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of this Senior Note. 

All terms used in this Senior Note which are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the 

Indenture.
