original issuance of such Debt Security, of the principal amount (or, in the case of any Original Issue Discount Debt Security, the Dollar
Equivalent on the date of original issuance of such Debt Security of the amount determined as provided in the preceding sentence above)

of the Board of Directors and as set forth in such Officers’ Certificate or in any such Indenture supplemental hereto. If any of
the terms of a series of Debt Securities are established by action taken pursuant to a board resolution, a copy of an appropriate record
of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to
the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series. No board resolution or Officers’ Certificate
may affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, benefits, privileges, protections, indemnities or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise with respect to any series of Debt Securities except as it may agree in writing.


 


Section 2.04
Execution of Debt Securities. The Debt Securities shall be signed on behalf of the
Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman, its President or a Vice President and by its Secretary, an Assistant Secretary,
a Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer. Such signatures upon the Debt Securities may be the manual, facsimile or other electronic signatures
of the present or any future such authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Debt Securities. The seal of
the Company, if any, may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the
Debt Securities.


 


Only such Debt Securities as shall bear thereon a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, signed manually by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Debt Security executed
by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Debt Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.


 


In case any officer of the Company who shall have
signed any of the Debt Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Debt Securities so signed shall have been authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Debt Securities nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed
of as though the Person who signed such Debt Securities had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Debt Security may be
signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Debt Security, shall be the proper officers
of the Company, although at the date of such Debt Security or of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such officer.


 






    12


    


    

 


Section 2.05
Authentication and Delivery of Debt Securities. At any time and from time to time
after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Debt Securities of any series executed by the Company to the
Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Debt Securities to or upon a Company Order.
In authenticating such Debt Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Debt Securities,
the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon:


 


(1)              a
copy of any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company, authorizing
the terms of issuance of any series of Debt Securities;


 


(2)            an
executed supplemental Indenture, if any;


 


(3)            an
Officers’ Certificate; and


 


(4)            an
Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section 12.05 which shall also state:


 


(a)            that
the form of such Debt Securities has been established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors or by a supplemental Indenture
as permitted by Section 2.01 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;


 


(b)            that
the terms of such Debt Securities have been established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors or by a supplemental
Indenture as permitted by Section 2.03 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and


 


(c)            that
this Indenture and such Debt Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject
to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement
is sought in a proceeding in equity or law) and subject to such other exceptions as counsel shall request and as to which the Trustee
shall not reasonably object.


 


Such Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as
to whether a court in the United States would render a money judgment in a currency other than that of the United States.


 


The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate
and deliver any Debt Securities under this Section 2.05 if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may
not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee
of directors, trustees or vice presidents shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing
Holders.


 


The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably
acceptable to the Company to authenticate Debt Securities of any series. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating
agent may authenticate Debt Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee
includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, paying agent or agent for service
of notices and demands.


 






    13


    


    

 


Unless otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security
for any series, each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.


 


Section 2.06
Denomination of Debt Securities.
Unless otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for any series, the Debt Securities of each series shall be issuable only as Registered
Securities in such denominations as shall be specified or contemplated by Section 2.03. In the
absence of any such specification with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, the Debt Securities of such series shall be issuable
in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.


 


Section 2.07
Registration of Transfer And Exchange.


 


(a)            The
Company shall keep or cause to be kept a register for each series of Registered Securities issued hereunder (hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Debt Security Register”), in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company
shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and the transfer of Registered Securities as provided in this Article II.
At all reasonable times the Debt Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Subject to Section 2.15, upon due
presentment for registration of transfer of any Registered Security at any office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4.02, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the
transferee or transferees a new Registered Security or Registered Securities of authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal
amount.


 


Unless and until otherwise determined by the Company
by resolution of the Board of Directors, the register of the Company for the purpose of registration, exchange or registration of transfer
of the Registered Securities shall be kept at the corporate trust office of the Trustee and, for this purpose, the Trustee shall be designated
 “Registrar”.


 


Registered Securities of any series (other than a
Global Security) may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities of the same series of other authorized
denominations. Subject to Section 2.15, Registered Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the office or agency to be
maintained by the Company as provided in Section 4.02, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
in exchange therefor the Registered Security or Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive.


 


(b)            All
Registered Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or payment shall (if so required by the Company,
the Trustee or the Registrar) be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory
to the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Registered Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.


 


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


 






    14


    


    

 


No service charge shall be made for any exchange
or registration of transfer of Debt Securities (except as provided by Section 2.09), but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, other than those expressly provided
in this Indenture to be made at the Company’s own expense or without expense or without charge to the Holders. Each Holder that
is a transferor of a Debt Security shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee
to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation, any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal
Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure
the accuracy of such information.


 


The Company shall not be required (a) to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Securities for a period of 15 days next preceding any mailing or sending of notice of redemption
of Debt Securities of such series, (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Securities (i) selected, called or being
called for redemption or (ii) between a record date and the relevant payment date.


 


Prior to the due presentation for registration of
transfer of any Debt Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name
a Debt Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Debt Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, and premium,
if any, and interest on, such Debt Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Debt Security is overdue, and none
of the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent or Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the
Trustee, any paying agent or any Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments
made on account of, beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating
to such beneficial ownership interests.


 


Section 2.08
Temporary Debt Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities
of any series, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Debt Securities (printed, lithographed,
photocopied, typewritten or otherwise produced) of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Debt Securities
in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form and with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary
Debt Securities, all as may be determined by the Company with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Debt Securities may contain such
reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Debt Security shall be executed by the Company and
be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive
Debt Securities.


 


If temporary Debt Securities of any series are issued,
the Company will cause definitive Debt Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
Debt Securities of such series, the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Debt Securities of such
series upon surrender of the temporary Debt Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company at a Place of Payment for
such series, without charge to the Holder thereof, except as provided in Section 2.07 in connection with a transfer. Upon surrender
for cancellation of any one or more temporary Debt Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of the same series of authorized denominations
and of like tenor. Until so exchanged, temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of such series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(17)
with respect to the payment of interest on Global Securities in temporary form.


 






    15


    


    

 


Upon any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global
Security for a definitive Global Security or for the individual Debt Securities represented thereby pursuant to Section 2.07 or this
Section 2.08, the temporary Global Security shall be endorsed by the Trustee to reflect the reduction of the principal amount evidenced
thereby, whereupon the principal amount of such temporary Global Security shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount to exchanged
and endorsed.


 


Section 2.09
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debt Securities. If (i) any mutilated
Debt Security is surrendered to the Trustee at its corporate trust office (in the case of Registered Securities) or (ii) the Company
and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debt Security, and there is delivered
to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any paying agent harmless,
and neither the Company nor the Trustee receives notice that such Debt Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, then the Company
shall execute and, upon a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security, a new Debt Security of the same series of like tenor, form, terms and principal amount, bearing
a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debt Security, the Company may require the payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected
therewith. In case any Debt Security which has matured or is about to mature or which has been called for redemption shall become mutilated
or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substituted Debt Security, pay or authorize the payment of the
same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debt Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish the Company
and the Trustee with such security or indemnity as either may require to save it harmless from all risk, however remote, and, in case
of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debt
Security and of the ownership thereof.


 


Every substituted Debt Security of any series issued
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.09 by virtue of the fact that any Debt Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute
an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security shall be found
at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities
of that series duly issued hereunder. All Debt Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions
are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities, and shall preclude any
and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the
replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.


 






    16


    


    

 


Section 2.10
Cancellation of Surrendered Debt Securities. All Debt Securities surrendered for
payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent or a Registrar, be
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation by it, or if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be canceled by it, and no Debt Securities shall
be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. All canceled Debt Securities held
by the Trustee shall be destroyed (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) and certification of their destruction
delivered to the Company upon request. If the Company shall acquire any of the Debt Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate
as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented thereby unless and until the same are delivered or surrendered to the
Trustee for cancellation. The Company may not issue new Debt Securities to replace Debt Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


Section 2.11
Provisions of the Indenture and Debt Securities for the Sole Benefit of the Parties and
the Holders. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any
Person, other than the parties hereto, the Holders or any Registrar or paying agent, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all its covenants, conditions and provisions
being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, the Holders and any Registrar and paying agents.


 


Section 2.12
Payment of Interest; Rights Preserved.


 


(a)            Interest
on any Registered Security that is payable and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any interest payment date shall be paid to the
Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest notwithstanding
the cancellation of such Registered Security upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the regular record date. Payment of interest
on Registered Securities shall be made at the corporate trust office of the Trustee (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03),
or at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Debt
Security Register or, if provided pursuant to Section 2.03 and in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the
option of the Registered Holder by wire transfer to an account designated by the Registered Holder.


 


(b)            Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and Section 2.17, each Debt Security of a particular series delivered under
this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Debt Security of the same series shall carry
the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Debt Security.


 


Section 2.13
Securities Denominated in Foreign Currencies.


 


(a)            Except
as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for Registered Securities of any series, payment of the principal of, and premium,
if any, and interest on, Registered Securities of such series will be made in Dollars.


 


(b)            For
the purposes of calculating the principal amount of Debt Securities of any series denominated in a Foreign Currency or in units of two
or more Foreign Currencies for any purpose under this Indenture, the principal amount of such Debt Securities at any time Outstanding
shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of such principal amount as of the date of any such calculation.

In the event any Foreign Currency or currencies or
units of two or more Currencies in which any payment with respect to any series of Debt Securities may be made ceases to be a freely convertible
Currency on United States Currency markets, for any date thereafter on which payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest
on, the Debt Securities of a series is due, the Company shall select the Currency of payment for use on such date, all as provided in
the Debt Securities of such series. In such event, the Company shall, as provided in the Debt Securities of such series, notify the Trustee
of the Currency which it has selected to constitute the funds necessary to meet the Company’s obligations or such payment date and
of the amount of such Currency to be paid. Such amount shall be determined as provided in the Debt Securities of such series. The payment
to the Trustee with respect to such payment date shall be made by the Company solely in the Currency so selected.


 


Section 2.14
Wire Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Indenture,
the Company may make any payment of monies required to be deposited with the Trustee on account of principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on, the Debt Securities (whether pursuant to optional or mandatory redemption payments, interest payments or otherwise) by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Trustee on or before noon Eastern Time on the date such moneys
are to be paid to the Holders of the Debt Securities in accordance with the terms hereof.


 


Section 2.15
Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global Security.


 


(a)            If
the Company shall establish pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 that the Debt Securities of a particular series are to be issued in whole
or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee or its agent shall, in accordance
with Section 2.05, authenticate and deliver, such Global Security or Securities, which shall represent, and shall be denominated
in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be represented by such Global
Security or Securities, or such portion thereof as the Company shall specify in an Officers’ Certificate, (ii) shall be registered
in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee or its
agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following
effect: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Debt Securities represented hereby, this Global
Security 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,” or such other legend as may then be required by the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities.
The Trustee and each Agent are hereby authorized to act in accordance with Applicable Procedures with respect to any series of Debt Securities
represented by a Global Security or Securities.


 


(b)            Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 2.15 or of Section 2.07 to the contrary, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below,
unless the terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Debt Securities
in registered form, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 2.07, only
by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security, or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another
nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary to a successor Depositary for such Global Security selected
or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.


 






    18


    


    

 


(c)           (i)              If
at any time the Depositary for a Global Security or Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for such Global Security or Securities or if at any time the Depositary for the Debt Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible
or in good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute, rule or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor
Depositary with respect to such Global Security or Securities. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security or Securities is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such individual Debt Securities
of such series in exchange for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver, individual Debt Securities of such series of like
tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in exchange
for such Global Security or Securities. In connection with any proposed transfer of individual Debt Securities in exchange for Global
Securities, there shall be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting
obligations, including without limitation, any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee
may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information.


 


(ii)            The
Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Debt Securities of any series or portion thereof issued or issuable
in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company
will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Debt Securities of such
series in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Debt Securities of such series
of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such series or portion thereof
in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.


 


(iii)            If
specified by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 with respect to Debt Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global
Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual Debt
Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company, the Trustee and such
Depositary. Thereupon the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or its agent upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (1) to each Person
specified by such Depositary a new Debt Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination
as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Persons beneficial interest in the Global
Security; and (2) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the
difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities
delivered to Holders thereof.


 


(iv)            In
any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee or its agent will authenticate
and deliver individual Debt Securities. Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of a Global Security for individual Debt Securities,
such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, Registered Securities
issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be registered in such names, and in such authorized
denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise,
shall instruct the Trustee or the Registrar. The Trustee or the Registrar shall deliver such Registered Securities to the Persons in whose
names such Registered Securities are so registered.


 






    19


    


    

 


(v)            Payments
in respect of the principal of and interest on any Debt Securities registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee will be payable
to the Depositary or such nominee in its capacity as the registered owner of such Global Security. The Company and the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name the Debt Securities, including the Global Security, are registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving
such payments and for any and all other purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Registrar, the paying agent or any
agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for (a) any aspect of the records relating to or payments
made on account of the beneficial ownership interests of the Global Security by the Depositary or its nominee or any of the Depositary’s
direct or indirect participants, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary, its nominee or any of its
direct or indirect participants relating to the beneficial ownership interests of the Global Security, (b) the payments to the beneficial
owners of the Global Security of amounts paid to the Depositary or its nominee, or (c) any other matter relating to the actions and
practices of the Depositary, its nominee or any of its direct or indirect participants. None of the Company, the Trustee or any such agent
will be liable for any delay by the Depositary, its nominee, or any of its direct or indirect participants in identifying the beneficial
owners of the Debt Securities, and the Company and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions
from the Depositary or its nominee for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal
amounts, of the Debt Securities to be issued).


 


Section 2.16
Medium Term Securities. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Debt
Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary for the Company to deliver to the Trustee
an Officers’ Certificate, resolutions of the Board of Directors, supplemental Indenture, Opinion of Counsel or written order or
any other document otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.01, 2.03, 2.05 or 12.05 at or prior to the time of authentication of
each Debt Security of such series if such documents are delivered to the Trustee or its agent at or prior to the authentication upon original
issuance of the first such Debt Security of such series to be issued; provided, that any subsequent request by the Company to the
Trustee to authenticate Debt Securities of such series upon original issuance shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company
that, as of the date of such request, the statements made in the Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.05 or
shall be true and correct as if made on such date and that the Opinion of Counsel delivered at or prior to such time of authentication
of an original issuance of Debt Securities shall specifically state that it shall relate to all subsequent issuances of Debt Securities
of such series that are identical to the Debt Securities issued in the first issuance of Debt Securities of such series.


 


A Company Order delivered by the Company to the Trustee
in the circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph, may provide that Debt Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee or its agent on original issue from time to time upon the telephonic or written order of Persons designated
in such written order (any such telephonic instructions to be promptly confirmed in writing by such Person) and that such Persons are
authorized to determine, consistent with the Officers’ Certificate, supplemental Indenture or resolution of the Board of Directors
relating to such written order, such terms and conditions of such Debt Securities as are specified in such Officers’ Certificate,
supplemental Indenture or such resolution.


 






    20


    


    

 


Section 2.17
Defaulted Interest. Any interest on any Debt Security of a particular series which
is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Debt Securities of such series
and in this Indenture (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall, if such Debt Security is a Registered Security, forthwith
cease to be payable to the Registered Holder thereof on the relevant record date by virtue of his having been such Registered Holder,
and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:


 


(i)            The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series are
registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following
manner: The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Registered
Security 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 prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for
the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify
the Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first class postage pre-paid, or sent to each Holder
thereof at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed or sent, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series are registered at the close of business on such special
record date.


 


(ii)            The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Registered Securities of such series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Registered Securities of such series 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.


 


Section 2.18
Judgments. The Company may provide pursuant to Section 2.03 for Debt Securities
of any series that (a) the obligation, if any, of the Company to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the
Debt Securities of any series in a Foreign Currency or Dollars (the “Designated Currency”) as may be specified pursuant to
Section 2.03 is of the essence and agrees that, to the fullest extent possible under applicable law, judgments in respect of Debt
Securities of such series shall be given in the Designated Currency; (b) the obligation of the Company to make payments in the Designated
Currency of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Debt Securities shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other
Currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the Designated Currency that
the Holder receiving such payment may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other Currency
(after any premium and cost of exchange) on the business day in the country of issue of the Designated Currency or in the international
banking community (in the case of a composite currency) immediately following the day on which such Holder receives such payment; (c) if
the amount in the Designated Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Company shall
pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to compensate for such shortfall; and (d) any obligation of the Company not discharged
by such payment shall be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, shall continue in full
force and effect.


 






    21


    


    

 


Section 2.19
CUSIP Numbers.Section 2.20  The Company
in issuing the Debt Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee may use “CUSIP”
numbers in notices 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 Debt Securities or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only
on the other identification numbers printed on the Debt Securities, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission
of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.


 


ARTICLE III


 


Redemption
of Debt Securities


 





 



 


Section 3.01
Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable
to the Debt Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.03 for Debt Securities of such series.


 


Section 3.02
Notice of Redemption; Selection of Debt Securities. In case the Company shall desire
to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Debt Securities of any series in accordance with their terms,
a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or a supplemental Indenture, the Company shall fix a date for redemption and shall
give notice of such redemption at least 15 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of Debt Securities
of such series so to be redeemed as a whole or in part, in the manner provided in Section 12.03 and to the Trustee. Upon Company
Request, at least 15 days prior to the date notice of redemption is to be delivered (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee) together with the notice to be given, notice of redemption shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of
the Company. The notice if given in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not
the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Debt Security
of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any
other Debt Security of such series. If the redemption price is not known at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption
price, calculated as described in the terms of the Debt Securities, will be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the
Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the date fixed for redemption and the calculation of any such redemption price shall
not be an obligation of the Trustee.


 






    22


    


    

 


Each such notice of redemption shall identify the
Debt Securities, specify the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price at which Debt Securities of such series are to be redeemed,
the Place or Places of Payment that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities and the paying agent,
that any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that the redemption is for a sinking
fund payment (if applicable), that on and after said date unless the Company defaults any interest thereon or on the portions thereof
to be redeemed will cease to accrue, that in the case of Original Issue Discount Debt Securities original issue discount accrued after
the date fixed for redemption will cease to accrue, the terms of the Debt Securities of that series pursuant to which the Debt Securities
of that series are being redeemed, the CUSIP number and that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP
number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Debt Securities of that series. In case any Debt Security of a series is to be
redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state
that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Debt Security, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of that
series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued or transferred by book entry.


 


At least 15 days before notice of redemption is to
be given, unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period, the Company shall give notice to the Trustee of the redemption date, the principal
amount of Debt Securities to be redeemed and the series and terms of the Debt Securities pursuant to which such redemption will occur.
Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such
redemption will comply with the conditions herein. If fewer than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the record date
relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Company and given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not less than 10 days
after the date of notice to the Trustee.


 


On or prior to noon Eastern Time on the redemption
date for any Registered Securities, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a paying agent (or, if the Company is acting as
its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount of money in the Currency in which such Debt Securities are denominated (except
as provided pursuant to Section 2.03) sufficient to pay the redemption price of such Registered Securities or any portions thereof
that are to be redeemed on that date.


 


If less than all the Debt Securities of like tenor
and terms of a series are to be redeemed (other than pursuant to mandatory sinking fund redemptions), and the Debt Securities are Global
Securities, they will be selected for redemption in accordance with Applicable Procedures. If the Debt Securities are not Global Securities,
the Trustee shall select, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Debt Securities of that series
or portions thereof (in multiples of $1,000) to be redeemed. In any case where more than one Registered Security of such series is registered
in the same name, the Trustee in its discretion may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered as if it were represented by one
Registered Security of such series. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Debt Securities selected for redemption
and, in the case of any Debt Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. If any Debt Security
called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof on such redemption date, the principal, premium, if any, and interest
shall bear interest until paid from the redemption date at the rate borne by the Debt Securities of that series. If less than all the
Debt Securities of unlike tenor and terms of a series are to be redeemed, the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed shall be selected
by the Company. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Debt Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Debt Securities
called for redemption.


 






    23


    


    

 


Section 3.03
Payment of Debt Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been
given as provided in Section 3.02, the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities of the series with respect to which such notice
has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the Place or Places of Payment stated in such notice at the applicable
redemption price, together with any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Company
shall default in the payment of such Debt Securities at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued to said date)
any interest on the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities of any series so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and any
original issue discount in the case of Original Issue Discount Debt Securities shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of
such Debt Securities at the Place or Places of Payment in said notice specified, the said Debt Securities or the specified portions thereof
shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued thereon to the date fixed
for redemption.


 


Any Debt Security that is to be redeemed only in
part shall be surrendered at the corporate trust office or such other office or agency of the Company as is specified pursuant to Section 2.03
with, if the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver or transfer by book entry to the Holder of such Debt Security without
service charge, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series, of like tenor and form, of any authorized denomination as requested
by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Debt Security
so surrendered; except that if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security, without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange
for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered. In the case of a Debt Security providing appropriate
space for such notation, at the option of the Holder thereof, the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Debt Security or Debt Securities
as aforesaid, may make a notation on such Debt Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof.


 


Section 3.04
Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment
provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of any series, resolution of the Board of Directors or a supplemental Indenture is herein
referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms
of Debt Securities of any series, resolution of the Board of Directors or a supplemental Indenture is herein referred to as an “optional
sinking fund payment”.


 


In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory
sinking fund payment with respect to any Debt Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee
Debt Securities of that series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or (b) receive credit for the principal
amount of Debt Securities of that series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such
Debt Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities,
resolution or supplemental Indenture; provided, that such Debt Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Debt Securities
shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Debt Securities, resolution or
supplemental Indenture for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall
be reduced accordingly.


 






    24


    


    

 


Section 3.05
Redemption of Debt Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 60 days prior to each
sinking fund payment date for any series of Debt Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying
the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, any resolution or supplemental
Indenture, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the Currency in which the Debt Securities of such
series are denominated (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.03) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by
delivering and crediting Debt Securities of that series pursuant to this Section (which Debt Securities, if not previously redeemed,
will accompany such certificate) and whether the Company intends to exercise its right to make any permitted optional sinking fund payment
with respect to such series. Such certificate shall also state that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to
such series. Such certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the cash payment or payments
therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Company to deliver such certificate
(or to deliver the Debt Securities specified in this paragraph) shall not constitute a Default, but such failure shall require that the
sinking fund payment due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for that series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be
sufficient to redeem the principal amount of such Debt Securities subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the option to deliver
or credit Debt Securities as provided in this Section 3.05 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund payment, if any,
with respect to such series.


 


Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or
optional) made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash which shall equal or exceed $100,000
(or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request) with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series shall be applied by the
Trustee on the sinking fund payment date on which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date,
on the sinking fund payment date following the date of such payment) to the redemption of such Debt Securities at the redemption price
specified in such Debt Securities, resolution or supplemental Indenture for operation of the sinking fund together with any accrued interest
to the date fixed for redemption. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption of Debt Securities
shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee for such series and, together with such payment, shall be
applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.05. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Debt Securities
of any particular series held by the Trustee on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Debt Securities of such series and
not held for the payment or redemption of particular Debt Securities shall be applied by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if necessary,
to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Debt Securities of that series at its Stated Maturity.


 


The Trustee shall select the Debt Securities to be
redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in the last paragraph of Section 3.02 and the Company shall
cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the manner provided in Section 3.02 except that the notice of redemption shall
also state that the Debt Securities are being redeemed by operation of the sinking fund. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption
of such Debt Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03.


 


At least one business day before each sinking fund
payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, the Company shall segregate
and hold in trust) in cash a sum in the Currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are denominated (except as provided pursuant
to Section 2.03) equal to any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption of Debt Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed
on such sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section 3.05.


 






    25


    


    

 


The Trustee shall not redeem any Debt Securities
of a series with sinking fund moneys or mail or send any notice of redemption of such Debt Securities by operation of the sinking fund
for such series during the continuance of a Default in payment of interest on such Debt Securities or of any Event of Default (other than
an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph) with respect to such Debt Securities, except that if the notice of redemption
of any such Debt Securities shall theretofore have been mailed or sent in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem
such Debt Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee for that purpose in accordance with the terms
of this Article III. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such Default or Event
of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such Default or Event of
Default, be held as security for the payment of such Debt Securities; provided, however, that in case such Event of Default
or Default shall have been cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next sinking fund payment
date for such Debt Securities on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.05.


 


ARTICLE IV


 


Particular
Covenants of the Company


 





 



 


Section 4.01
Payment of Principal of, and Premium, if any, and Interest on, Debt Securities.
The Company, for the benefit of each series of Debt Securities, will duly and punctually pay or
cause to be paid the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, each of the Debt Securities at the place, at the respective
times and in the manner provided herein and in the Debt Securities. Each installment of interest on the Debt Securities may at the Company’s
option be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.07(a) to the
address of such Person as it appears on the Debt Security Register. The Company shall be responsible for making calculations called for
under the Debt Securities, including but not limited to, determination of redemption price, premium, if any, and any additional amounts
or other amounts payable on the Debt Securities. The Company will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its
calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when requested
by the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent
verification. The Trustee shall forward the Company’s calculations to any Holder of the Notes upon the written request of such Holder.

on, the Debt Securities if any, of any series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities
of such series a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due. The Company will promptly notify
the Trustee of any failure by the Company to take such action or the failure by any other obligor on such Debt Securities to make any

agent, as required by this Section 4.04, 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.

the Company shall have one or more paying agents with respect to any series of Debt Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the
principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt Securities of such series, deposit with any such paying agent a sum sufficient
to pay the principal, premium or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto,
and (unless any such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

and to the extent provided in Section 5.04), within 15 days after the Company or such obligor, as the case may be, is required to
file the same with the Securities and Exchange Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports
(or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as said Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company files the information, documents and reports referred to in this Section 5.03
with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (EDGAR) system or such other publicly available
electronic filing medium established by the Commission, such information, documents and reports shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee
and the Holders as of such time such information, documents or reports are filed or furnished via EDGAR. The Trustee shall have no obligation
to determine whether or not such information, documents or reports have been filed through the EDGAR filing system (or such successor
thereto). Delivery of such statements, reports, notices and other information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions
of this Section 5.03 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

Act has occurred within the twelve months preceding such period. The Trustee also shall comply with Section 313(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act.

all Registered Holders, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear in the Debt Security Register;

entitled to take such action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.


 


Any such record date shall be fixed at the Company’s
discretion. If such a record date is fixed, such action may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of
Debt Securities of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders of Debt Securities for the purpose
of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Debt Securities of such series Outstanding have authorized or agreed or
consented to such action, and for that purpose the Debt Securities of such series Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date.

In case there shall be pending proceedings for the
bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities of any series under Title 11 of the
United States Code or any other Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or in case a receiver, trustee or other similar
official shall have been appointed for its property, or in case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any
other obligor upon the Debt Securities of any series, its creditors or its property, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal
of Debt Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02, shall be entitled and empowered,
by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any,
and interest (or, if the Debt Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount
as may be specified in the terms of such series) owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities of such series, and to file such other
papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation
to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities Incurred, and all advances made,
by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or willful misconduct as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction)
and of the Holders thereof allowed in any such judicial proceedings relative to the Company, or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities
of such series, its creditors or its property, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of such Holders and of the Trustee on their behalf, and any
receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of such Holders to make payments to the Trustee,
and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Holders, to pay to the Trustee such amount
as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses
and liabilities Incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or willful misconduct as finally
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof out of the estate
in any such proceeding, shall be unpaid for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any
and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding
whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. The Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote
for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ committee or other similar committee.
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 Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.


 


All rights of action and of asserting claims under
this Indenture, or under any of the Debt Securities appertaining thereto, of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession
of any such Debt Securities or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment (except for any
amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06) shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of all the Debt Securities
in respect of which such action was taken.


 


In case an Event of Default hereunder had occurred
and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or
in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture
or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee
by this Indenture or by law.

on the Debt Securities of such series in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent
that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the
case of Original Issue Discount Debt Securities) borne by the Debt Securities of such series, such payments to be made ratably to the
Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;


 


THIRD: In case the principal of the Outstanding
Debt Securities in respect of which such moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment
of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Debt Securities of such series for principal and premium, if any, and interest, with
interest on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue
installments of interest at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Debt Securities) borne by the Debt Securities
of such series; and, in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Debt Securities
of such series, then to the payment of such principal and premium, if any, and interest, without preference or priority of principal and
premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over any other installment
of interest, or of any Debt Security of such series over any Debt Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal
and premium, if any, and interest; and


 


FOURTH: The remainder, if any, shall
be paid to the Company, its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct.


 


The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date
for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.03. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall mail or send
to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.


 


Section 6.04
Limitation on Suits by Holders. No Holder of any Debt Security of any series shall
have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or
in bankruptcy or otherwise, upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any
other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default with respect
to Debt Securities of that same series and of the continuance thereof and unless the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such security
or indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be Incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60
days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of security or indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings
and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06; it being understood
and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Debt Security with every other Holder and the Trustee, that no one
or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other Holders, or to enforce
any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all such Holders.
For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6.04, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled
to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.


 






    36


    


    

 


Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture,
however, the right of any Holder of any Debt Security to receive payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.12)
interest on, such Debt Security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debt Security, and to institute suit for the enforcement
of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.


 


Section 6.05
Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission in Exercise of Rights not a Waiver of Default.
All powers and remedies given by this Article VI to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed
cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings
or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission
of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid, shall
impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.


 


Section 6.06
Rights of Holders of Majority in Principal Amount of Debt Securities to Direct Trustee
and to Waive Default. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series at the time
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, with respect to the Debt Securities of such series; provided, however,
that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture, and that subject to the provisions
of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel
shall determine that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee shall by a Responsible Officer or Officers determine
that the action so directed would involve it in personal liability or would be unjustly prejudicial to Holders of Debt Securities of such
series not taking part in such direction (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether
or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders); and provided, further, however, that nothing
in this Indenture contained shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent
with such direction by such Holders. Prior to the acceleration of the maturity of the Debt Securities of any series, as provided in Section 6.01,
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series at the time Outstanding may on behalf of
the Holders of all the Debt Securities of that series waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences for that series
specified in the terms thereof as contemplated by Section 2.03, except (i) a Default in the payment of the principal of, and
premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Debt Securities and (ii) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02
cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected thereby. In case of any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist,
any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, and the Company, the Trustee
and the Holders of the Debt Securities of that series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively;
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 






    37


    


    

 


Section 6.07
Trustee to Give Notice of Defaults Known to it, but may Withhold Such Notice in Certain
Circumstances. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee with respect to a series of Debt Securities, give to the Holders thereof, in the manner provided in Section 12.03, notice
of all Defaults with respect to such series so known to the Trustee, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving
of such notice; provided, that, except in the case of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest
on, any of the Debt Securities of such series or in the making of any sinking or purchase fund payment with respect to the Debt Securities
of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee
or a committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the
interests of the Holders thereof.


 


Section 6.08
Requirement of an Undertaking to Pay Costs in Certain Suits Under the Indenture or Against
the Trustee. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debt Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed
to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture,
or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken 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 in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act, 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 6.08
shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate
more than ten percent in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series or to any suit instituted by any Holder for
the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Debt Security on or after the due date for
such payment expressed in such Debt Security.


 


ARTICLE VII


 


Concerning
the Trustee


 





 



 


Section 7.01
Certain Duties and Responsibilities. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an
Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or
waived), 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 man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.


 






    38


    


    

 


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, except
that:


 


(a)            this
subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(b)(1) and the first paragraph of this Section 7.01;


 


(b)            prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all Events
of Default with respect to such series which may have occurred:


 


(1)            the
duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to Debt Securities of any series shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations with respect to such
series as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to such series shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee; and


 


(2)            in
the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of the opinions expressed therein, upon any 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 provision 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 (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);


 


(c)            the
Trustee shall not be liable for an 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; and


 


(d)            the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it with respect to Debt Securities of any series
in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Debt Securities of that series 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 with respect to Debt Securities of such series.


 


None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require
the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Trustee shall not be required to give
any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers or duties hereunder. The permissive rights or powers of the Trustee to
do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty of the Trustee.


 


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.


 






    39


    


    

 


Section 7.02
Certain Rights of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:


 


(a)            the
Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile
form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;


 


(b)            any
request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Order (unless other evidence
in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by
a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;


 


(c)            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 or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion
of Counsel;


 


(d)            the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction
of any of the Holders of Debt Securities of any series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered
to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be Incurred therein or thereby;


 


(e)            the
Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within
the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;


 


(f)            prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, 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, approval or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of a series affected by such matter pursuant to Section 6.06;
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely
to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is not, in the opinion of the Trustee, reasonably assured to the Trustee by the
security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require security or indemnity satisfactory to it against such
costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid by the
Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand and the Trustee shall incur no liability or additional
liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;


 


(g)            the
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys
and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it with due
care hereunder;


 






    40


    


    

 


(h)            if
any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to a Lien in favor of the Holders, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized
by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien,
shall be entitled to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax Liens or other prior Liens or encumbrances
thereon.


 


(i)            the
Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless a Responsible
Officer has actual knowledge thereof or the Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing of such Default or Event of Default by the
Company or by the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of the applicable series by written
notice of such event sent to the Trustee in accordance with Section 12.03, and such notice references the Debt Securities and this
Indenture;


 


(j)            the
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including without limitation, its right to be compensated,
reimbursed, and indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, each Agent, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder,
and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder;


 


(k)            in
no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out
of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents,
epidemics, pandemics, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions,
loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, or other unavailability of the Federal
Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts
which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances;


 


(l)            in
no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, loss of profit), irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or
damage and regardless of the form of action; and


 


(m)            the
Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to furnish the Trustee with Officers’ Certificates, Company Orders and any other matters or directions pursuant
to this Indenture.


 






    41


    


    

 


Section 7.03
Trustee not Liable for Recitals in Indenture or in Debt Securities. The recitals
contained herein, in the Debt Securities (except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of
the Company, and the Trustee makes no representation as to and assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee
makes no representations as to and shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities
of any series, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Debt
Securities and perform its obligations hereunder, and that the statements made by it or to be made by it in a Statement of Eligibility
on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true and accurate. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of any of the Debt Securities or of the proceeds thereof or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction
under any provision of this Indenture, and shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Agent other
than the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance, observance, or breach of any covenants,
conditions, representations, warranties or agreements on the part of the Company. Under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable in
its individual capacity for the obligations evidenced by the Debt Securities. The Trustee shall have no obligation to pursue any action
that is not in accordance with applicable law. The Trustee makes no representation as to and shall not be responsible for or any statement
in any document in connection with the sale of any of the Debt Securities.


 


Section 7.04
Trustee, Paying Agent or Registrar May Own Debt Securities. The Trustee, any
Agent, or any paying agent or Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities and
subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act relating to conflicts of interest and preferential claims may otherwise deal with
the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Registrar.


 


Section 7.05
Moneys Received by Trustee to be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05,
all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were
received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for
interest on any moneys received by it hereunder.


 


Section 7.06
Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company covenants and agrees to pay in Dollars
to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as agreed
in writing with the Company (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust), and the Company will pay or reimburse in Dollars the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and
the expenses and disbursements of its agents, attorneys and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ and court costs) except
any such expense, disbursement or advances as may arise from its negligence or willful misconduct as finally adjudicated by a court of
competent jurisdiction. The Company also covenants to indemnify in Dollars the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss,
liability, claim, fee, damage, cost or expense Incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee as finally
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust
or trusts hereunder (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents, attorneys and counsel and
of all Persons not regularly in its employ and court costs) of defending itself against any claim of liability in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder including any action, claim or suit brought to enforce this Indenture
against the Company, to enforce the Trustee’s right to compensation, reimbursement or indemnification (including this Section 7.06),
or any claim of the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder, or any other Person).
The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee
for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional Indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture and resignation or removal of the Trustee. The Company and the Holders agree that such additional Indebtedness shall
be secured by a Lien prior to that of the Debt Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee, as such, except
funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, particular Debt Securities. All indemnifications
and releases from liability granted hereunder to the Trustee shall extend to its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, custodians,
successors and assigns.


 






    42


    


    

 


When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services
after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services
are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law. “Trustee”
for the purposes of this Section 7.06 shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder,
each Agent and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the negligence
or willful misconduct of any Trustee or Agent hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee or Agent hereunder.


 


Section 7.07
Right of Trustee to Rely on an Officers’ Certificate Where no Other Evidence Specifically
Prescribed. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture
the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action
hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence
or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion
of Counsel or both delivered to the Trustee and such certificate or opinion, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of
the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture
upon the faith thereof.


 


Section 7.08
Separate Trustee; Replacement of Trustee. The Company may, but need not, appoint
a separate Trustee for any one or more series of Debt Securities. The Trustee may resign with respect to one or more or all series of
Debt Securities at any time by giving notice to the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a
particular series may remove the Trustee for such series and only such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint
a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:


 


(1)            the
Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;


 


(2)            the
Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;


 


(3)            a
receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or


 


(4)            the
Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.


 


If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company
or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of a particular series and such Holders do not reasonably promptly
appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred
to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Trustee and
no appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance
with the applicable requirements of this Section 7.08.


 






    43


    


    

 


A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance
of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee
shall mail or send a notice of its succession to Holders of Debt Securities of each applicable series. The retiring Trustee shall promptly
transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06.


 


If
a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee gives notice of resignation or is removed, the
retiring Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of any applicable series may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series.


 


If
the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Debt Securities of any applicable series may petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series.


 


Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant
to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.


 


In the case of the appointment hereunder of a separate
or successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series, the Company, any retiring Trustee and each successor or
separate Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an Indenture supplemental hereto
(1) which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of any retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series as to which any such retiring Trustee is not retiring
shall continue to be vested in such retiring Trustee and (2) that shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture
as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood
that nothing herein or in such supplemental Indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such
separate, retiring or successor Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder
administered by any other such Trustee.


 


Section 7.09
Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts
into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the
resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.


 


In case at the time such successor or successors
by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Debt Securities
shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Debt Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debt Securities shall not
have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder
or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere
in the Debt Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.


 






    44


    


    

 


Section 7.10
Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements
of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000
as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. No obligor upon the Debt Securities of a particular series or Person
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such obligor shall serve as Trustee upon the Debt Securities
of such series. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act and, if the Trustee resigns pursuant
to Section 310(b)(i) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Company shall take prompt steps to appoint a successor Trustee in accordance
with Section 7.08; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(i) of
the Trust Indenture Act this Indenture or any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation
in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(i) of
the Trust Indenture Act are met.


 


Section 7.11
Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with
Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the
extent indicated therein.

Concerning
the Holders


 





 



 


Section 8.01

Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any or all series may take action (including
the making of any demand or request, the giving of any direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact
that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of’ such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by
any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing,
(b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions
of Section 5.02 or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders.


 


Section 8.02
Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Debt Securities. Subject to
the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 12.11, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy shall be sufficient

    45


    


    

 


The Trustee may require such additional proof of
any matter referred to in this Section 8.02 as it shall deem necessary.


 


Section 8.03
Who may be Deemed Owner of Debt Securities. Prior to due presentment for registration
of transfer of any Registered Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Registrar may deem and treat the Person in
whose name any Registered Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Registered Security
(whether or not such Registered Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for
the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.03) interest
on such Registered Security and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Registrar
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; and all such payments so made to any such Holder for the time being, or upon his order,
shall be valid and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon
any such Registered Security.


 


None of the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent
or the Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial
ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests.


 


Section 8.04
Instruments Executed by Holders Bind Future Holders. At any time prior to (but not
after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in
aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action and subject
to the following paragraph, any Holder of a Debt Security which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debt Securities the Holders
of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its corporate trust office and upon proof of
holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid any such action
taken by the Holder of any Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such
Debt Security and of any Debt Security issued upon transfer thereof or in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or
not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debt Security or such other Debt Securities. Any action taken by the Holders of the
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action
shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Debt Securities of such series.


 


The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Registered Securities entitled
to give their consent or take any other action required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a
record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders of Registered Securities
at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any
consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders of Registered Securities after
such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the
Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series specified in this Indenture shall have been
received within such 120-day period.

The Company, when authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time, without
the consent of Holders, enter into an Indenture or Indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act as in force at the date of the execution thereof) for one or more of the following purposes:


 


(a)            to

the Successor Company (as defined in Section 10.01) of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company in this Indenture
and in the Debt Securities;


 


(b)            to
surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company, to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants, restrictions,
conditions or provisions for the protection of the Holders of all or any series of Debt Securities (and if such covenants are to be for
the benefit of less than all series of Debt Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit
of such series) as the Board of Directors shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of such Debt Securities, and to make
the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a Default in any of such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions
a Default or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture; provided,
that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental Indenture may provide for a particular
period of grace after Default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other Defaults) or may provide for
an immediate enforcement upon such Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such Default or may limit the right
of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of any or all series of Debt Securities to waive such default;


 


(c)            to
cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein, in any supplemental Indenture or in any Debt Securities
of any series that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein, in any supplemental Indenture or in the
Debt Securities of such series; to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Trustee, or to make such other
provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture as shall not adversely affect the interests of any Holders of
Debt Securities of any series in any material respect;


 


(d)            to
modify or amend this Indenture in such a manner as to permit the qualification of this Indenture or any Indenture supplemental hereto
under the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect, except that nothing herein contained shall permit or authorize the inclusion in any Indenture
supplemental hereto of the provisions referred to in Section 316(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act;


 






    47


    


    

 


(e)            to
add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to change or eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal of, or premium,
if any, or interest on, Debt Securities; provided, that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders
of Debt Securities of any series in any material respect or permit or facilitate the issuance of Debt Securities of any series in uncertificated
form;


 


(f)            to
evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company
herein and in the Debt Securities;


 


(g)            to
add Guarantees with respect to the Debt Securities or to secure the Debt Securities;


 


(h)            to
add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of Debt Securities; provided,
however, that any such addition, change or elimination not otherwise permitted under this Section 9.01 shall (i) neither
(A) apply to any Debt Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental Indenture and entitled to the benefit
of such provision nor (B) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Debt Security with respect to such provision or (ii) shall
become effective only when there is no such Debt Security Outstanding;


 


(i)            to
evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities
of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; and


 


(j)            to
establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03.


 


The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the
Company in the execution of any such supplemental Indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be
therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall
not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental Indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, benefits, privileges,
protections, indemnities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.


 


Any supplemental Indenture authorized by the provisions
of this Section 9.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Debt Securities
appertaining thereto at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02.


 


After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes
effective, the Company shall mail or send to Holders of Debt Securities of each series affected thereby a notice briefly describing such

under this Section 9.01.

Section 9.02
Modification of Indenture with Consent of Holders of Debt Securities. Without notice
to any Holder but with the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such supplemental Indenture, the Company, when authorized
by a resolution of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an Indenture or Indentures
supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution thereof) for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental
Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series; provided, that no such
supplemental Indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Debt Security so affected, shall (i) reduce the percentage in
principal amount of Debt Securities of any series whose Holders must consent to an amendment; (ii) reduce the rate of or extend the
time for payment of interest on any Debt Security; (iii) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Debt Security;

be redeemed in accordance with Article III, provided that any amendment to the notice requirements may be made with the consent
of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of such series; (v) make any
Debt Security payable in Currency other than that stated in the Debt Security; (vi) release any security that may have been granted
in respect of the Debt Securities; or (vii) make any change in Section 6.06 or this Section 9.02.

any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has been expressly included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series
of Debt Securities or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities 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 Debt Securities of any other series.


 


Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a
copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with
the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental
Indenture unless such supplemental Indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, benefits, privileges, protections, indemnities
or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into
such supplemental Indenture.


 


It
shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed
supplemental Indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.


 


After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes
effective, the Company shall mail or send to Holders of Debt Securities of each series affected thereby a notice briefly describing such
amendment. The failure to give such notice to all such Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment
under this Section 9.02.


 


Section 9.03
Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental Indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith
and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company
and the Holders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments,
and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental Indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this
Indenture for any and all purposes.

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections
7.01 and 7.02, shall be entitled to receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such

Indenture. New Debt Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any
modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental Indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated
by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding. Failure to make the appropriate notation
or to issue a new Debt Security of such series shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

Merger, Sale or Conveyance


 





 



 


Section 10.01
 Consolidations and Mergers of the Company. The Company shall not consolidate with
or merge with or into any Person, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets, unless: (i) either (a) the
Company shall be the continuing Person in the case of a merger or (b) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person if other than
the Company (the “Successor Company”) shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any
State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed
and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the Debt Securities, and this
Indenture; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of
the Successor Company or any Subsidiary of the Company as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company
or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default would occur or be continuing; and (iii) the Company

the Successor Company shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the
party of the first part, and the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of any further obligation under the Indenture and the Securities.
The Successor Company thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all
the Debt Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and,
upon the order of the Successor Company, instead of the Company, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture
prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Debt Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered
by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Debt Securities which the Successor Company thereafter shall
cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Debt Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same
legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Debt Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture as though all such Debt Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.


 






    50


    


    

 


In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Debt Securities appertaining thereto thereafter
to be issued as may be appropriate.


 


ARTICLE XI


 


Satisfaction
and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance; Unclaimed Moneys


 





 



 


Section 11.01
Applicability of Article. If, pursuant to Section 2.03, provision is made for
the defeasance of Debt Securities of a series, then the provisions of this Article XI relating to defeasance of Debt Securities shall
be applicable except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for Debt Securities of such series.


 


Section 11.02
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance.


 


(a)            If
at any time (i) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Debt Securities of any series theretofore authenticated
and delivered (other than (1) any Debt Securities of such series which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall
have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09 and (2) Debt Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been
deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company as provided in Section 11.05) or (ii) all Debt Securities of such series
not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable
within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice
of redemption, and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee as trust funds the entire amount in the Currency in which such Debt Securities
are denominated (except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.03) sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Debt
Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and premium, if any, and interest
due or to become due on such date of maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, and if in either case the Company shall also pay
or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as
to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of such Debt Securities herein expressly provided for and rights to receive
payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Debt Securities with respect to the Debt Securities of such series,
and the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture.


 


(b)            Subject
to Sections 11.02(c), 11.03 and 11.07, the Company at any time may terminate, with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series,

(“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations with respect to the Debt Securities of such series under Section 10.01
and the related operation of Section 6.01(d) and the operation of Sections 4.05 and 6.01(e), (f), (i) and (j) (and,
if specified pursuant to Section 2.03, any other obligation of the Company or restrictive covenant added for the benefit of such
series pursuant to Section 2.03) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option
notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.


 






    51


    


    

 


If
the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated because
of an Event of Default. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Debt Securities of the defeased
series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(d), (e), (f), (i) and (j) (and, if specified
pursuant to Section 2.03, any other obligation of the Company or restrictive covenant added for the benefit of such series pursuant
to Section 2.03) (except to the extent covenants or agreements referenced in such Sections remain applicable).


 


Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein
and upon request of the Company, accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of
the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates.


 


(c)            Notwithstanding
clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.07, 2.09, 4.02, 4.04, 5.01, 7.06, 7.10, 11.05, 11.06
and 11.07 shall survive until the Debt Securities of the defeased series have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations
in Sections 7.06, 11.05 and 11.06 shall survive.


 


Section 11.03
Conditions of Defeasance. The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or
its covenant defeasance option with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series only if:


 


(1)            the
Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, and premium,
if any, and interest on, the Debt Securities of such series to maturity or redemption, as the case maybe;


 


(2)            the
Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that
the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited
money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay the principal, premium and interest
when due on all the Debt Securities of such series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;


 


(3)            123
days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) with respect

(4)            no
Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit and after giving effect thereto;


 


(5)            the
deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Company;


 






    52


    


    

 


(6)            the
Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or
is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940;


 


(7)            in
the event of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the
Company has received from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change
in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case of the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that,
the Holders of Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
the case if such defeasance had not occurred;


 


(8)            in
the event of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
the Holders of Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; and


 


(9)            the
Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to
the defeasance and discharge of the Debt Securities of such series as contemplated by this Article XI have been compiled with.


 


Before or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Debt Securities of such series at a future date in accordance with Article III.


 


Section 11.04

Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article XI. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government
Obligations through any paying agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest
on, the Debt Securities of the defeased series.


 


Section 11.05
Repayment to Company. The Trustee and any paying agent shall promptly turn over
to the Company upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time, subject to compliance with applicable abandoned property
law, and all liability of the Trustee or any Agent with respect to such money or securities shall thereupon cease.


 


Subject to any applicable abandoned property law,
the Trustee and any paying agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium or
interest that remains unclaimed for two years and all liability of the Trustee or any Agent with respect to such money shall thereupon
cease, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors.


 


Section 11.06
Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify
the Trustee and the Holders against any tax, fee or other change imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations
or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations.


 






    53


    


    

 


Section 11.07
Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any paying agent is unable to apply any money or
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article XI by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment
of any court or government authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations
under this Indenture and the Debt Securities of the defeased series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to this Article XI until such time as the Trustee or any paying agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with this Article XI.
