      initially issued under this Indenture; provided that the Company has furnished an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee confirming that all conditions precedent to the issuance and authentication of the Notes
      have been complied with and that such issuance would not conflict with federal and state securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Commission.  Such additional notes of any series will have substantially identical terms and conditions as
      the applicable Notes initially issued under this Indenture of such series in all respects, except as described in the paragraph above and will be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers,
      amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that any such additional notes that have the same CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying number as the outstanding notes of a series must be fungible with

      designated herein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture”.

      execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and agree to be bound thereby.  However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this
      Indenture shall control and be binding.

    SECTION 2.03.    Execution and Authentication.

    

    

    The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any Officer.  The signature of any of these Officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

    

    

    If an Officer whose signature is on a Note was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office at the time the Authentication Agent authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

    

    

    No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
      executed by the Authentication Agent by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
      any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Note to the Paying Agent for cancellation as provided in Section 2.12, for all purposes of this Indenture such
      Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

    

    

    The Notes of each series shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.01.  In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Notes of any series, the Notes of such
      series denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and the Notes of such series denominated in a Non-Dollar Currency shall be issuable in denominations equivalent to $2,000
      and integral multiples equivalent to $1,000 in excess thereof in that Non-Dollar Currency (in each case rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Non-Dollar Currency).

    

    

    The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent (the “Authentication Agent”) acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes.  Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an
      instrument signed by a Responsible Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Company.  The Trustee hereby appoints with due care Citibank, N.A., as the Authentication Agent, and Citibank, N.A. hereby accepts such appointment.  The Company
      hereby confirms this appointment as acceptable to it.  The Trustee shall have no responsibility to compensate, reimburse or indemnify the Authentication Agent.  The Trustee may change the Authentication Agent without prior notice to the Holders; provided the Authentication Agent is acceptable to the Company.

    

    

    SECTION 2.04.    Registrar and Paying Agent.

    

    

    The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where Notes may be
      presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company, if any, in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.  The Registrar shall keep
      a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.  The Company may have one or more additional Paying Agents and for each series of Notes denominated in a Non-Dollar Currency, the Company shall appoint a separate Paying Agent

    under a supplemental indenture which supplemental indenture shall be in form and substance acceptable to such Paying Agent.  Money held by such Paying Agent shall be held as banker, not subject to the UK FCA Client Money Rules, and need not be
      segregated except as required by law.  The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional Paying Agent.  The Company shall also appoint a transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”).

    

    

    The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement, which shall incorporate the provisions of the TIA, with any Agent that is not a party to this Indenture.  Such agreement shall implement the provisions of
      this Indenture that relate to such Agent.  The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent.  If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as
      such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with Section 6.06.

    

    

    The Company initially appoints Citibank, N.A., as Registrar, Transfer Agent, Paying Agent, and Calculation Agent in connection with the Notes and this Indenture, unless another Paying Agent is appointed prior to the time
      the Notes of any applicable series are first issued, and the registered office of Citibank, N.A., as the office or agency of the Company for such purposes, and the Company may change the Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent or Calculation Agent
      without prior notice to the Holders.  The Company or any of its subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, Registrar or Calculation Agent.

    

    

    SECTION 2.05.    Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust.

    

    

    Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (whether such money has
      been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes), and the Company and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment.  In no event shall the
      Paying Agent be liable for any interest on any money received by it hereunder; provided that if the Company or an Affiliate thereof acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying
      Agent and hold such money in a separate trust fund.  The Company at any time may require the Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of the
      Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a), upon written request to the Paying Agent, require the Paying Agent to pay forthwith all money so held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed.  Upon making such payment, the Paying
      Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

    

    

    SECTION 2.06.    Holder Lists.

    

    

    The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Holders of each series of Notes.  If the Trustee is not the Registrar,
      the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee (i) at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date with respect to such series of Notes outstanding on the record date relating to such Interest Payment Date, but in any
      event not less frequently than semi-annually, and (ii) at such other times as the Trustee may

    

    

    
      12

      
        


    

    

    request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of such series; provided that, as long as the Trustee is the
      Registrar, no such list need be furnished.

    

    

    SECTION 2.07.    Transfer and Exchange.

    

    

    Subject to Section 2.16, when Notes are presented to the Transfer Agent with a request from the Holder of such Notes to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized
      denominations of the same series, the Transfer Agent shall register the transfer as requested.  Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
      in form satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.  To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall issue and execute, and the
      Authentication Agent shall authenticate, new Notes evidencing such transfer or exchange at the Transfer Agent’s request.  No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange.  The Company may require from the
      Holder payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer taxes or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.06 or 7.04 (in which
      events the Company shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes).  The Transfer Agent shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (i) any Notes for a period of 15 days ending on the due date for any payment of principal in
      respect of the Notes or (ii) any Notes selected, called or being called for redemption.

    

    

    Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of the beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by the Holder of such
      Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry system.

    

    

    SECTION 2.08.    Replacement Notes.

    

    

    If a mutilated Note of any series is surrendered to the Registrar or the Trustee, if surrendered to the Trustee to be forwarded to the Registrar, or if the Holder of a Note of any series claims that the Note has been
      lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Authentication Agent shall authenticate a replacement Note of such series if the Holder of such Note furnishes to the Company and the Authentication Agent, with a copy to the
      Trustee, evidence reasonably acceptable to them of the ownership and the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date of this Indenture are met.  If
      required by the Authentication Agent or the Company, an indemnity bond shall be posted, sufficient in the judgment of all to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced.  The
      Company may charge such Holder for the Company’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing such Note and the Authentication Agent may charge the Company for the Authentication Agent’s reasonable expenses (including, without limitation,
      attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in replacing such Note.  Every replacement Note shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Company.

    

    

    
      13

      
        


    

    

    

    SECTION 2.09.    Outstanding Notes.

    

    

    The Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Authentication Agent except for (i) those canceled by it; (ii) those delivered to it for cancellation; (iii) to the extent set forth in
      Sections 8.01 and 8.02, on or after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or 8.02 have been satisfied, those Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered by the Authentication Agent hereunder; and (iv) those described in this
      Section 2.09 as not outstanding.  Subject to Section 2.10, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Note.

    

    

    If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Authentication Agent, with a copy to the Trustee, receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide
      purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company.

    

    

    If the Paying Agent holds, in its capacity as such, on any Maturity Date, money sufficient to pay all accrued interest and principal with respect to the Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such
      money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

    

    

    For each series of Original Issue Discount Notes, the principal amount of such Notes that shall be deemed to be outstanding and used to determine whether the necessary Holders have given any request, demand,
      authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.02.

    

    

    For each series of Notes denominated in a Non-Dollar Currency, the principal amount of such Notes that shall be deemed to be outstanding and used to determine whether the necessary Holders have given any request, demand,
      authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver shall be the Dollar equivalent, as determined by the Company by reference to the noon buying rate in New York for cable transfers for such currency, as such rate is certified for customs purposes by
      the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Exchange Rate”) on the date of original issuance of such Notes, of the principal amount (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Notes, the Dollar equivalent, as
      determined by the Company by reference to the Exchange Rate on the date of the original issuance of such Notes, of the amount determined as provided above), of such Notes.

    

    

    SECTION 2.10.    Treasury Notes.

    

    

    In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes of a series have concurred in any declaration of acceleration or notice of default or direction, waiver or consent or any amendment,
      modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Company or any other Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded as though they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be
      protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Notes as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has

    

    

    
      14

      
        


    

    

    

    actually received an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes are so owned shall be so disregarded.  Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee established to the satisfaction of the Trustee
      the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, any other obligor on the Notes or any of their respective Affiliates.

    

    

    SECTION 2.11.    Temporary Notes.

    

    

    Until definitive Notes are prepared and ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Authentication Agent shall authenticate temporary Notes.  Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes
      but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Authentication Agent shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.  Until such
      exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes.

    

    

    SECTION 2.12.    Cancellation.

    

    

    The Company at any time may deliver Notes of any series to the applicable Paying Agent for cancellation.  The Registrar shall forward to the Paying Agent any Notes surrendered to it for registration of transfer, exchange
      or payment.  The Paying Agent shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall deliver evidence of such canceled Notes to the Company upon the Company’s request.  The Company
      may not reissue or resell, or issue new Notes to replace Notes that the Company has redeemed or paid, or that have been delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation (other than in accordance with this Indenture).

    

    

    SECTION 2.13.    Defaulted Interest.

    

    

    If the Company defaults on a payment of interest on any series of Notes, and the applicable grace period shall have expired, it may at its option pay the defaulted interest, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the
      Persons who are Holders on a subsequent record date (which shall not be less than five Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest), and the Company will notify such Holders of such record date.  The Company may make payment
      of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements (if applicable) of any securities exchange on which such series of Notes may be listed and, upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after
      written notice given by the Company to the Trustee and the Paying Agent of the proposed payment pursuant to this sentence, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

    

    

    SECTION 2.14.    CUSIP Number.

    

    

    The Company in issuing any series of Notes may use a “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar number, and if so, such CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number shall be included in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to
      Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number printed in the notice or on the applicable series
      of Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on such Notes.  The Company shall

    

    

    
      15

      
        


    

    

    

    promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any such CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number used by the Company in connection with the issuance of any series of Notes and of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number.

    

    

    SECTION 2.15.    Deposit of Moneys.

    

    

    With respect to the Notes of a series denominated in Dollars, prior to 11:00 A.M., New York time, and, with respect to the Notes of a series denominated in any Non-Dollar Currency, prior to 11:00 A.M., London time, or as
      advised by the Paying Agent in relation to any Non-Dollar Currency other than euro and pounds sterling, on each Interest Payment Date (or, if such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the day on which such interest payment is made) and
      Maturity Date (or, if such Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the day on which such principal payment is made), the Company shall have deposited with the applicable Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments,
      if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits such Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date (or, if such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day,
      the day on which such interest payment is made) or Maturity Date (or, if such Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the day on which such principal payment is made), as the case may be.  The principal and interest on a Global Note shall be payable to
      the Depositary of such Global Note or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Notes represented thereby.  The principal and interest on Physical Notes shall be payable, either in person or by mail, at
      the office of the applicable Paying Agent.

    

    

    SECTION 2.16.    Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.

    

    

    (a)    Any series of Notes may initially be represented by one or more Notes of the same series in registered, global form without interest coupons.  Any global notes representing the Notes (collectively,
      the “Global Notes”) initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary, in each case for credit to an account of a member of, or direct or indirect participant
      in, the Depositary (an “Agent Member”); and (ii) be delivered to Citibank, N.A. as custodian for such Depositary.

    

    

    (b)    Agent Members shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or its custodian, or under the Global Notes, and the Depositary may
      be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any
      agent of the Company, any Agent or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization (which may be in electronic form) furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the
      operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

    

    

    (c)    None of the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or
      payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Notes, for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial owner

    

    

    
      16

      
        


    

    

    

    interests, or for any acts or omissions of a Depositary or for any transactions between a Depositary and any beneficial owner or between or among beneficial owners.  No owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes shall have
      any rights under this Indenture, and the Depositary or its nominee, if any, shall be deemed and treated by the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them as the absolute owner and Holder of such
      Notes for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them from giving effect to any written certification,
      proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary, or any of its members and any other Person on whose behalf such member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of
      any Notes.

    

    

    (d)    Transfers and exchanges pursuant to this Section 2.16 may only be made between Notes of the same series.  Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the
      Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees.  Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary.  In addition, a Global Note
      shall be exchangeable for Physical Notes if (i) the Depositary (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or (y) has ceased to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act, and,
      with respect to (x) or (y), the Company thereupon fails to appoint a successor depositary within 90 days of such notice or cessation; (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee and the Authentication Agent in writing that it elects to
      effect the issuance of Physical Notes or (iii) upon the request of the Depositary at any time that there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.  In all cases, Physical Notes delivered in exchange for any
      Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

    

    

    (e)    In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in any Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.16, the Registrar shall (if
      one or more Physical Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be
      transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Authentication Agent shall upon receipt of a Company Order from the Company authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and amount.

    

    

    (f)    In connection with the transfer of Global Notes of a series as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.16, the Global Notes shall be deemed to be surrendered to
      the Paying Agent for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Authentication Agent shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global
      Notes, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations.

    

    

    (g)    Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note shall, upon transfer,

    

    

    
      17

      
        


    

    

    

    cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in such other Global Note and, accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests
      in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.

    

    

    (h)    The Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a
      Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

    

    

    SECTION 2.17.    Computation of Interest.

    

    

    Interest on the Notes of a series shall be computed in accordance with the terms of the Notes of such series.

    

    

    ARTICLE III Redemption and Prepayment

    

    

    SECTION 3.01.    Election To Redeem; Notices to Trustee.

    

    

    Notes of any series that are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their respective terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Notes of any
      series) in accordance with this Article III.  Any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

    

    

    If the Company elects to redeem any Notes pursuant to this Article III, at least 10 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee and the Paying Agent) but not more than 60 days
      prior to the Redemption Date (unless a longer period is acceptable to the Trustee and the Paying Agent), the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of the series of Notes to be redeemed, the Redemption Date and the principal
      amount of such Notes to be redeemed and the Redemption Price, and deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee and the Paying Agent),
      an Officer’s Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained this Article III.  Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to the mailing of such notice of such redemption to any Holder and shall thereupon be
      void and of no effect.  The notice shall reflect the conditions to the redemption and shall be specified by the Company.

    

    

    SECTION 3.02.    Selection of Notes To Be Redeemed.

    

    

    If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the Notes of any series at any time, in the case of Notes issued in definitive form, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with applicable procedures of
      the Depositary.

    

    

    SECTION 3.03.    Notice of Redemption.

    

    

    Notice of any optional redemption shall be given in accordance with Section 10.01 hereto at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each holder of the Notes to be redeemed.  The Company may
      provide in the notice that payment of the

    

    

    
      18

      
        


    

    

    

    Redemption Price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to the redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person.

    

    

    The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the series and the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers thereof) and shall state:

    

    

    (a)    the Redemption Date;

    

    

    (b)    the Redemption Price;

    

    

    (c)    any conditions to the redemption as specified by the Company;

    

    

    (d)    if fewer than all outstanding Notes of a series are to be redeemed, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date and upon surrender of such
      Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued;

    

    

    (e)    the name and address of the Paying Agent;

    

    

    (f)    that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

    

    

    (g)    that unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

    

    

    (h)    the aggregate principal amount of Notes of such series that are being redeemed;

    

    

    (i)    the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

    

    

    (j)    that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP and/or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

    

    

    At the Company’s written request made at least five Business Days prior to the date on which notice is to be given (unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Paying Agent), the Paying Agent shall give the notice of
      redemption to the Holders in the Company’s name and at the Company’s sole expense.

    

    

    SECTION 3.04.    Effect of Notice of Redemption.

    

    

    Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.03 is sent (or delivered as required by the Depositary), Notes called for redemption shall, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions, become
      irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price, including any premium, plus interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the
      Redemption Price, including any premium, plus interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided that (i) if the Redemption Date is after a record date and on or

    

    

    
      19

      
        


    

    

    

    prior to the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date; and (ii) if a Redemption Date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on
      the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day.  Such notice, if sent (or delivered as required by the Depositary) in the manner provided in Section 3.03, shall
      be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not the Holder receives such notice.

    

    

    SECTION 3.05.    Deposit of Redemption Price.

    

    

    With respect to the Notes of a series denominated in Dollars, prior to 11:00 A.M., New York time, and, with respect to the Notes of a series denominated in any Non-Dollar Currency, prior to 11:00 A.M., London time, or as
      advised by the Paying Agent in relation to any Non-Dollar Currency other than euro and pounds sterling, on each Redemption Date, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions, the Company shall deposit with the applicable Paying Agent in
      immediately available funds money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, including premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date
      which have been delivered by the Company to the applicable Paying Agent for cancellation.

    

    

    On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, including premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on Notes called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance
      with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price of, including premium, if any, and, subject to
      Section 3.04, accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.  If any Note surrendered for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption Date until such redemption payment is made, on
      the unpaid principal of the Note and any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate and in the manner provided in the Notes.

    

    

    SECTION 3.06.    Notes Redeemed in Part.

    

    

    If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof that is to be redeemed.  The Company will issue and execute, and the
      Authentication Agent will authenticate, a new Note of the applicable series in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note.  Notes called for redemption
      become due on the Redemption Date.  On and after such date, unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price on such date, interest ceases to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for such redemption.

    

    

    SECTION 3.07.    Tax Redemption.

    

    

    Each series of Notes is also redeemable by the Company, in whole but not in part, at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Amounts) to the applicable
      Redemption Date at the Company’s option at any

    

    

    
      20

      
        


    

    

    

    time prior to their maturity if, due to a Change in Tax Law (as defined below): (i) the Company or any Guarantor, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Notes or applicable Guarantee, has, or would, become obligated to pay any Additional
      Amounts to the Holders of the Notes of that series; (ii) in the case of any Guarantor, (A) the Parent would be unable, for reasons outside its control, to procure payment by the Company or any other Guarantor or (B) the procuring of such payment by
      the Company and each such other Guarantor would be subject to withholding Taxes imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; and (iii) such obligation cannot otherwise be avoided by such Guarantor, the Parent or the Company, taking reasonable measures
      available to it.  In such case, the Company may redeem the applicable Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice as provided in Section 3.03, at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
      Redemption Date (including Additional Amounts); provided that (i) no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or such Guarantor, as the
      case may be, would be obligated to pay any such Additional Amounts in respect of the applicable Notes or applicable Guarantee, as applicable, then due; and (ii) at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains
      in effect.  The Company’s right to redeem the applicable Notes shall continue as long as the Company or any Guarantor is obligated to pay such Additional Amounts, notwithstanding that the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall have made
      payments of Additional Amounts.  Prior to the giving of any such notice of redemption, the Company must deliver to the Trustee: (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement
      of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to so redeem have occurred; and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel or an independent accountant of recognized standing, selected by the Company or any Guarantor, as
      applicable, with respect to tax matters of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to the effect that the Company or such Guarantor has, or would, become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such Change in Tax Law.

    

    

    For the purposes hereof, “Change in Tax Law” shall mean: (i) any changes in, or amendment to, any law of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including any regulations or rulings
      promulgated thereunder and including, for this purpose, any treaty entered into by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) or any amendment to or change in the application or official interpretation (including judicial or administrative interpretation) of
      such law, which change or amendment becomes effective or, in the case of an official interpretation, is announced, on or after the first date of issuance of Notes of such series pursuant to Section 2.01; or (ii) if the Company or any Guarantor
      consolidates, merges, amalgamates or combines with, or transfers or leases its assets substantially as an entirety to, any person that is incorporated or tax resident under the laws of any jurisdiction other than a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (a “successor”) and as a consequence thereof such person becomes the successor obligor to the Company or such Guarantor in respect of Additional Amounts that may become payable (in which case, for purposes of this
      redemption provision, all references to the Company or such Guarantor shall be deemed to be and include references to such person), any change in, or amendment to, any law of the jurisdiction of organization or tax residence of such successor, or the
      jurisdiction through which payments will be made by the successor, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or thereon for purposes of taxation (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder and including, for this
      purpose, any treaty entered into by such jurisdiction) or any amendment to or change in the application or official interpretation (including judicial or administrative interpretation) of such law, which change or amendment becomes effective or, in
      the case of an official

    

    

    
      21

      
        


    

    

    

    interpretation, is announced, on or after the date of such consolidation, merger, amalgamation, combination or other transaction.

    

    

    ARTICLE IV Covenants

    

    

    SECTION 4.01.    Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

    

    

    The Company covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes of each series in accordance with the terms of the Notes of such series and this
      Indenture.

    

    

    SECTION 4.02.    Maintenance of Office or Agency.

    

    

    The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for Notes an office or agency where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange and where
      notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.  The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.  If at any
      time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands (except for service of process in relation to any proceeding
      arising out of or relating to the performance of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes) may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee/Paying Agent, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent
      to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands, provided that, with respect to any series of Notes issued in Non-Dollar currency, any presentations, surrenders, notices and demands (except for service of process in relation to any
      proceeding arising out of or relating to the performance of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes) may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent for such series of Notes, and the Company hereby
      appoints the Paying Agent for such series of Notes as its agent to receive any presentations, surrenders, notices and demands for such Notes.

    

    

    The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of
      Payment for Notes for such purposes.  The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

    

    

    SECTION 4.03.    Reports by the Company.

    

    

    (a)    If the Company or any Guarantor is subject to TIA § 314(a), the requirement to deliver to the Trustee and the Holders the annual reports and information, documents, and other reports
        which the Company or any Guarantor is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act will be satisfied if the Company or any Guarantor files such reports, information
        and documents electronically using

    

    

    
      22

      
        


    

    

    

    the Commission’s EDGAR electronic filing system or any successor system, and such reports, information and documents are publicly available on the Commission’s web site.

    

    

    (b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Company fails to comply with its obligation to file or provide such information, documents and reports as required hereunder,
      the Company will be deemed to have cured such Default for purposes of Section 5.01(b) upon the filing or provision of all such information, documents and reports required hereunder prior to the expiration of 120 days after written notice to the
      Company of such failure from the Trustee or from the Holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the applicable series of Notes (with a copy to the Trustee).

    

    

    (c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the information, documents and reports required pursuant to this Indenture may, at the option of the Company, instead be those of any direct or
      indirect parent entity of the Company so long as such parent entity has fully and unconditional guaranteed by execution of this Indenture in the case of the Parent, or fully and unconditionally guarantees, by execution of a supplemental indenture,
      the obligations of the Company in respect of the Notes and such parent entity and the Company comply with the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission (or any successor provision).

    

    

    (d)    Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information
      contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

    

    

    SECTION 4.04.    Corporate Existence.

    

    

    Subject to Section 4.10, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a corporation.

    

    

    SECTION 4.05.    Money for Notes Payments.

    

    

    If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to a series of Notes, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Notes of such
      series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
      herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

    

    

    Whenever the Company shall have a Paying Agent for a series of Notes, it will, with respect to the Notes of a series denominated in Dollars, prior to 11:00 A.M., New York time, and, with respect to the Notes of a series
      denominated in any Non-Dollar Currency, prior to 11:00 A.M., London time, or as advised by the Paying Agent in relation to any Non-Dollar Currency other than euro and pounds sterling, on each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or
      interest on the Notes of such series, deposit with the applicable Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
      principal, premium or interest, and

    

    

    
      23

      
        


    

    

    

    (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

    

    

    If the Paying Agent is not a party to this Indenture, the Company will cause the Paying Agent, other than the Trustee, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which the Paying Agent shall agree with the
      Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.05, that the Paying Agent will:

    

    

    (a)    hold in trust all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes of a series for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums
      shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

    

    

    (b)    give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes of a series; and

    

    

    (c)    at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held by the Paying Agent.

    

    

    The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct the Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held
      by the Paying Agent or held in trust by the Company, such sums to be held in trust by the Trustee; and, upon such payment by the Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

    

    

    SECTION 4.06.    Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

    

    

    The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or upon the
      income, profits or property of the Company, and (ii) all material lawful claims against the Company for labor, materials and supplies, which in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 4.06, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon a
      property; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim
      whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

    

    

    SECTION 4.07.    Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

    

    

    The Company and each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay,
      extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives
      all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
      though no such law has been enacted.

    

    

    
      24

      
        


    

    

    

    SECTION 4.08.    Payment of Additional Amounts.

    

    

    Unless either inapplicable to a particular series or specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the Officer’s Certificate or any supplemental indenture establishing such series of Notes or in the form of note for
      such series, each of the Parent, BATIF and BATNF will make payments pursuant to the applicable Guarantee without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, levy, impost or other similar governmental charge (“Taxes”) imposed, assessed, levied or collected by or for the account of the United Kingdom (in the case of a payment by the Parent or BATIF) or The Netherlands (in the case of a payment by BATNF), including in
      each case any political subdivision thereof or any authority thereof having the power to tax (a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law.

    

    

    If any such Guarantor is required by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to so withhold or deduct such Taxes, such Guarantor will pay to the Holder such additional amounts (“Additional
        Amounts”) as will result in the receipt by the Holder of such amounts as would have been received by it if no such withholding or deduction of Taxes had been required; provided, however, that no
      Guarantor shall be required to pay any Additional Amounts for or on account of:

    

    

    (a)    any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the Holder or beneficial owner of the applicable Note or Guarantee (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member
      or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) being or having been a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engaging or having been engaged in a trade or business,
      maintaining or having maintained a permanent establishment or being or having been physically present in, a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or otherwise having or having had some connection with a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or
      ownership of, or the collection of principal of, and premium (if any) or interest on, a Note or the enforcement of the applicable Note or Guarantee, as the case may be;

    

    

    (b)    any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the fact that, where presentation is required in order to receive payment, the applicable Note or Guarantee was
      presented more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or was provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the
      applicable Note or Guarantee been presented for payment on any day during such 30-day period;

    

    

    (c)    any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar Taxes;

    

    

    (d)    any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or in respect of the applicable Note or Guarantee;

    

    

    (e)    any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, assessed, levied or collected but for the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the applicable Note or

    

    

    
      25

      
        


    

    

    

    Guarantee to (i) provide any certification, identification, information, documents or other evidence concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or the beneficial owner or its connection with a Relevant
      Taxing Jurisdiction; or (ii) make any valid or timely declaration or claim or satisfy any other reporting, information or procedural requirements relating to such matters if, in either case, compliance is required by statute, regulation, relevant
      income tax treaty or administrative practice of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a condition to relief or exemption from such Taxes;

    

    

    (f)    any Taxes imposed or withheld pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor provisions), any U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, any official
      interpretations thereof or any agreements entered into in connection with the implementation thereof (“FATCA Withholding”); or

    

    

    (g)    any combination of the Taxes described in clauses (a) through (f) above.

    

    

    In addition, Additional Amounts will not be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of, or premium (if any) or interest on, any Note or any payment pursuant to the applicable Guarantee to any Holder that is a
      fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership, an interest holder in such
      limited liability company or a beneficial owner that would not have been entitled to such amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member, interest holder or beneficial owner been the Holder of the applicable Note or Guarantee.

    

    

    Unless otherwise stated, references in any context to the payment of principal of, and premium (if any) or interest on, any Note or any payment pursuant to a Guarantee will be deemed to include payment of Additional
      Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

    

    

    SECTION 4.09.    Negative Pledge.

    

    

    So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any Guarantor will secure or allow to be secured any Quoted Borrowing issued by the Company or any Guarantor or any payment under any guarantee by
      any of them of any such Quoted Borrowing by any mortgage, charge, pledge or lien (other than arising by operation of law) upon any of its undertaking or assets, whether present or future, unless at the same time the same mortgage, charge, pledge or
      lien is extended, or security which is not materially less beneficial to the Holders of the Notes than the security given as aforesaid or which shall be approved by consent of the Holders of not less than 75% in aggregate principal amount of the
      Notes at the time outstanding is extended or created (as the case may be), to secure equally and ratably the principal of, and interest on, and all other payments (if any) in respect of the Notes.

    

    

    SECTION 4.10.    Limitation on Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations and Combinations.

    

    

    So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into any other person or sell, convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets as an entirety or
      substantially as an entirety to any person (other than any

    

    

    
      26

      
        


    

    

    

    sale or conveyance by way of a lease in the ordinary course of business), unless: (i) in the case of the Company, any successor person assumes the Company’s obligations on the Notes and under this Indenture and, in the case of any Guarantor, any
      successor person assumes such Guarantor’s obligations on the Guarantee and under this Indenture; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an
      Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; (iii) such successor person is organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands or any other country that is a member of the Organization
      for Economic Cooperation and Development as of the date of such succession; (iv) such successor person agrees to pay any Additional Amounts with respect to any withholding or deduction of Taxes or any payment on the Notes or Guarantees (as
      applicable) imposed by the jurisdiction (other than the United States, unless otherwise required by clause (i) of this Section 4.10) in which such successor person is incorporated or otherwise a resident for tax purposes in accordance with Section
      4.08 (for the avoidance of doubt, solely to the extent such successor person is the Issuer, changes will be made to this Indenture as are necessary to obligate the Issuer to pay such Additional Amounts); and (v) if as a result of such consolidation
      or merger or such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, properties or assets of the Company or any Guarantor would become subject to a mortgage, pledge, security interest, lien or similar encumbrance to secure payment of any indebtedness for borrowed
      money of the Company or any Guarantor which would not be permitted by the applicable Notes of such series or under this Indenture, the Company or any Guarantor or such successor person, as the case may be, shall take such steps as shall be necessary
      to effectively secure the Notes of such series equally and ratably with (or prior to) all indebtedness for borrowed money secured thereby.

    

    

    Upon any consolidation of the Company or any Guarantor with, or merger of the Company or any Guarantor into, any other Person or any sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the
      Company or any Guarantor in accordance with this Section 4.10, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or any Guarantor is merged or to which such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and
      be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or a Guarantor under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Person had been named as the Company or a Guarantor herein, as the case may be, and
      thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture, the Notes and the applicable Guarantee, as the case may be.  The terms “Company” and “Guarantor”, as used in
      the Notes and the Indenture, also refer to any such successors or assigns so substituted.

    

    

    The limitation on mergers, consolidations, amalgamations and combinations contained in this Section 4.10 shall not apply to any consolidation, merger, amalgamation or combination in which the Company or any Guarantor is
      the surviving corporation except that, in such case, the provisions of clauses (ii) and (v) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.10 shall apply such that: (x) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event
      which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and (y) if as a result of such consolidation or merger or such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, properties or assets of the
      Company or any Guarantor would become subject to a mortgage, pledge, security interest, lien or similar encumbrance to secure payment of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any Guarantor which

    

    

    
      27

      
        


    

    

    

    would not be permitted by the Notes or under this Indenture, the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall take such steps as shall be necessary to effectively secure the Notes equally and ratably with (or prior to) all indebtedness for
      borrowed money secured thereby.

    

    

    SECTION 4.11.    Statement by Officers as to Event of Default.

    

    

    The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes is outstanding, deliver to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, forthwith (and in any event within 10 Business Days) upon any Officer of the Company becoming aware of any
      Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

    

    

    SECTION 4.12.    Statements as to Compliance.

    

    

    The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 180 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Parent, a written statement signed by the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting
      officer of the Parent (complying with Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA), stating that:

    

    

    (a)    a review of the activities of the Company and the Guarantors during such year and of performance under this Indenture has been made under his or her supervision; and

    

    

    (b)    to the best of his or her knowledge, based on such review, the Company and the Guarantors are in compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture.

    

    

    For purposes of this Section 4.12, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture.

    

    

    SECTION 4.13.    Mutual Undertaking Regarding Information Reporting and Collection Obligations.

    

    

    Each party (other than the Trustee) shall, within 10 Business Days of a written request by another party, supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to such party, its operations
      or the Notes as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party’s compliance with Applicable Law and shall notify the relevant other party reasonably promptly in the event that such party becomes aware that any of the forms,
      documentation or other information provided by such party is (or becomes) inaccurate in any material respect; provided, however, that no party shall be required to
      provide any forms, documentation or other information pursuant to this Section 4.13 to the extent that: (i) any such form, documentation or other information (or the information required to be provided on such form or documentation) is not reasonably
      available to such party and cannot be obtained by such party using reasonable efforts; or (ii) doing so would or might in the reasonable opinion of such party constitute a breach of any: (A) Applicable Law; (B) fiduciary duty; or (C) duty of
      confidentiality.  For purposes of this Section 4.13, “Applicable Law” shall be deemed to include (i) any relevant rule or practice of any Authority by which any party is bound or with which it is accustomed to
      comply; (ii) any relevant agreement between any Authorities; and (iii) any relevant agreement between any Authority and any party that is customarily entered into by institutions of a similar nature.

    

    

    
      28

      
        


    

    

    

    SECTION 4.14.    Agent Right to Withhold.

    

    

    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, each Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under the Notes for or on account of any Taxes, if and only to the
      extent so required by Applicable Law, in which event each such Agent shall make such payment after such deduction or withholding has been made and shall account to the relevant Authority within the time allowed for the amount so deducted or withheld
      or, at its option in the case of any Tax other than a U.S. federal withholding Tax, shall reasonably promptly after making such payment return to the Company the amount so deducted or withheld, in which case, the Company shall so account to the
      relevant Authority for such amount.  For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a deduction or withholding which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this Section 4.14.

    

    

    SECTION 4.15.    Company Right to Redirect.

    

    

    In the event that the Company determines in its sole discretion that any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax will be required by Applicable Law in connection with any payment due to any of the Agents on
      any Notes, then the Company will be entitled to redirect or reorganize any such payment in any way that it sees fit in order that the payment may be made without such deduction or withholding; provided that
      any such redirected or reorganized payment is made through a recognized institution of international standing and otherwise made in accordance with this Indenture.  The Company will promptly notify the Agents and the Trustee in writing of any such
      redirection or reorganization.  For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a deduction or withholding which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this Section 4.15.

    

    

    ARTICLE V Defaults and Remedies

    

    

    SECTION 5.01.    Events of Default.

    

    

    Unless either inapplicable to a particular series or specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the Officer’s Certificate or any supplemental indenture establishing such series of Notes or in the form of note for
      such series, each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” with respect to any series of Notes:

    

    

    (a)    default is made in the payment of: (i) any installment of interest (excluding Additional Amounts) upon any Note of the relevant series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and there
      is a continuance of such default for a period of 14 days or more; (ii) applicable Additional Amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable, and there is a continuance of such default for a period of 14 days; or (iii) all or any part of
      the principal or premium, if any, of any Note of the relevant series as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise, and there is a continuance of such default for a period of
      three days;

    

    

    (b)    the Company or any Guarantor does not perform or comply with any one or more of its other obligations under the Notes of the relevant series or this Indenture (other than those described in
      paragraph (a) above) which is not remedied within 30 days (unless a longer period is specified in this Indenture) after written notice of such default shall have been

    given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes;

    

    

    (c)    (i) any other present or future indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any Guarantor, other than the Notes issued by the Company, becomes due and payable prior to its Stated Maturity by
      reason of any default or event of default in respect thereof by the Company or any Guarantor and remains unpaid; (ii) any such indebtedness for borrowed money is not paid when due or, as the case may be, within any applicable grace period; or (iii)
      the Company or any Guarantor fails to pay when due and called upon (after the expiry of any applicable grace period) any amount payable by it under any present or future guarantee for, or indemnity in respect of, any indebtedness for borrowed money
      and which remains unpaid; provided that (x) payment of the indebtedness for borrowed money is not being contested in good faith and in accordance with legal advice or (y) the aggregate amount of the
      indebtedness for borrowed money, guarantees and indemnities in respect of which one or more of the events mentioned above in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph (c) has or have occurred and is or are continuing, equals or exceeds £750
      million or its equivalent in any other currency of the indebtedness for borrowed money or, if greater, 1.25% of the Total Equity of the Parent, as set out in the “Total Equity” line item in the most recent consolidated group balance sheet of the
      Parent and its subsidiaries in the Parent’s most recent annual report;

    

    

    (d)    any Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of this Indenture) or any Guarantor denies or disaffirms in writing its obligations under this Indenture or
      Guarantee;

    

    

    (e)    a distress or execution or other legal process is levied or enforced against or an encumbrancer takes possession of or a receiver, administrative receiver or other similar officer is appointed of
      the whole or a part of the assets of the Company or any Guarantor which is substantial in relation to the BAT Group taken as a whole and is not discharged, stayed, removed or paid out within 45 days after such execution or appointment;

    

    

    (f)    any mortgage, charge, pledge, lien or other encumbrance, present or future, created or assumed by the Company or any Guarantor becomes enforceable against all or substantially all of the assets of
      the Company or any Guarantor, and any step is taken to enforce it (including the taking of possession or the appointment of a receiver, administrative receiver, manager or other similar person) and is not discharged within 45 days;

    

    

    (g)    the Company or any Guarantor is insolvent or bankrupt or unable to pay its debts (in respect of companies incorporated in England and Wales, within the meaning of Section 123(1)(b) or (e) or
      Section 123(2) of the UK Insolvency Act 1986), stops, suspends or threatens to stop or suspend payment of all or a material part of its debts, proposes or makes a general assignment or an arrangement or composition (otherwise than for the purposes of
      reconstruction, amalgamation, reorganization, merger or consolidation or other similar arrangement) with or for the benefit of its creditors in respect of any of such debts or a moratorium is agreed or declared in respect of or affecting all or a
      material part of the debts of the Company;

    

    

    
      30

      
        


    

    

    

    (h)    an order is made or an effective resolution passed for the winding-up or dissolution or administration of the Company or any Guarantor, or the Company or any Guarantor shall apply or petition for a
      winding-up or administration order in respect of itself or ceases or threatens to cease to carry on all or substantially all of its business or operations, in each case except for the purpose of and followed by a reconstruction, amalgamation,
      reorganization, merger or consolidation or other similar arrangement; or

    

    

    (i)    any event occurs that under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction has an analogous effect to any of the events referred to in any of the foregoing paragraphs (g) and (h).

    

    

    An Event of Default with respect to any series of Notes would not necessarily constitute an Event of Default with respect to the other series of Notes.

    

    

    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.01, if the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to any Note is payable in a currency or currencies other than Dollars
      and such currency or currencies are not available to the Company or any Guarantor for making payment thereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company or such Guarantor (a “Conversion Event”), the Company and the Guarantor will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders of the Notes by making such payment in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar equivalent of the amount
      payable in such other currency, as determined by the Company or the Guarantor making such payment, as the case may be, based on the Exchange Rate on the date of such payment, or, if such rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently
      available Exchange Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.01, any payment made under such circumstances in Dollars where the required payment is in a currency other than Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under
      this Indenture.

    

    

    Promptly after the occurrence of a Conversion Event, the Company or the relevant Guarantor shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Paying Agent; and the Trustee, promptly after receipt of such notice,
      shall give notice thereof in the manner provided in Section 10.01 to the Holders of the relevant series of Notes.  Promptly after the making of any payment in Dollars as a result of a Conversion Event, the Company or the Guarantor making such
      payment, as the case may be, shall give notice in the manner provided in Section 10.01 to the Holders, setting forth the applicable Exchange Rate and describing the calculation of such payments.

    

    

    SECTION 5.02.    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission.

    

    

    If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a series then outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case (other than Events of Default specified in Section 5.01(g), (h) or (i) with
      respect to the Company or any Guarantor), unless the principal of all the Notes of such series shall have already become due and payable, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such affected series then
      outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company, each Guarantor and the Trustee, may declare the entire principal amount of all Notes of such series and interest accrued and unpaid thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any
      such declaration the same shall become

    

    

    
      31

      
        


    

    

    

    immediately due and payable, without any further declaration or other act on the part of any Holder.

    

    

    If the Events of Default specified in Section 5.01(g), (h) or (i) occur with respect to the Company or any Guarantor and are continuing with respect to a series of Notes, the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid
      interest on all the Notes of such series issued pursuant to this Indenture shall become immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

    

    

    The registered Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences (i) if the rescission would not conflict with
      any judgment or decree and (ii) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, that has become due solely because of the acceleration, by written notice to the Company, each Guarantor and the Trustee. 
      However, no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or shall impart any right consequent thereon.

    

    

    Subject to Section 6.01, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any
      of the Holders of Notes of any series, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it.  Subject to Section 6.06, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of any series of Notes then outstanding
      will 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 the Trustee holds with respect to the Notes of such series.

    

    

    For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Notes shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after
      such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Notes shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable
      as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute
      payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Notes.

    

    

    SECTION 5.03.    Other Remedies.

    

    

    If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of each
      applicable series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes of each applicable series or this Indenture and may take any necessary action requested of it as Trustee to settle, compromise, adjust or otherwise conclude any proceedings
      to which it is a party.

    

    

    The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  Any such proceeding instituted by the

    

    

    
      32

      
        


    

    

    

    Trustee may be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements of the Trustee and its counsel, be for the
      ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or
      remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy.  All available remedies are cumulative, to the extent permitted by law.  Any reasonable costs associated with actions taken by the
      Trustee in good faith and without negligence under this Section 5.03 shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Company.

    

    

    SECTION 5.04.    Waiver of Past Defaults and Events of Default.

    

    

    Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series may on behalf of the Holders of all
      the affected Notes of such series waive any past Default with respect to such series of Notes and its consequences by providing written notice thereof to the Company and the Trustee, except a Default (1) in the payment of interest on or the principal
      of any Note or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected.  In the case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee
      and the Holders of the Notes of any applicable series will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, respectively; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
      other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

    

    

    SECTION 5.05.    Control by Majority.

    

    

    The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
      exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series.  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability,
      or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of the affected Notes not joining in the giving of such direction and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such
      direction received from Holders of the Notes.

    

    

    SECTION 5.06.    Limitation on Suits.

    

    

    No Holder of the Notes of a series will have any right 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
      trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy under this Indenture (except suits for the enforcement of payment of overdue principal or interest) unless (1) the Holder has previously given the Trustee
      written notice of a continuing Event of Default; (2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series have made a written request to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee; (3) the Holder or Holders
      of Notes have offered, and if

    

    

    
      33

      
        


    

    

    

    requested, have provided to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; (4) the Trustee has not complied with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and (5)
      during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

    

    

    A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain
      whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

    

    

    However, the Holder of any Note will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, such Note on or after the date or dates they are to be paid as
      expressed in such Note and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment.

    

    

    SECTION 5.07.    Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.

    

    

    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Note or to bring suit for the enforcement
      of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Notes shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

    

    

    SECTION 5.08.    Collection Suit by Trustee.

    

    

    If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in Section 5.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the
      Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) for the whole amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid.

    

    

    SECTION 5.09.    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

    

    

    The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation and reasonable expenses,
      disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its
      creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law, shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges and
      expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the
      event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel,
      and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06.

    

    

    
      34

      
        


    

    

    

    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 or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
      Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceedings.  All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the
      Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall,
      after provision for the payment of the compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

    

    

    SECTION 5.10.    Priorities.

    

    

    Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article V, and any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default shall be
      applied in the following order:

    

    

    FIRST: to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) for amounts due under Section 6.06;

    

    

    SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the affected Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest as to each, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable
      on the affected Notes; and THIRD: to the Company or as otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

    

    

    The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 5.10.

    

    

    SECTION 5.11.    Undertaking for Costs.

    

    

    In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any
      party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to
      the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This Section 5.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 5.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the
      Notes of a series then outstanding.

    

    

    SECTION 5.12.    Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

    

    

    No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Notes to exercise any right or remedy occurring upon an Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of
      Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case
      may be.

    

    

    
      35

      
        


    

    

    

    ARTICLE VI Trustee

    

    

    SECTION 6.01.    Duties of Trustee.

    

    

    (a)    If an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it under this
      Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

    

    

    (b)    Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

    

    

    (i)    the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
      this Indenture against the Trustee; and

    

    

    (ii)    in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
      certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any 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 mathematical calculations or other facts, statements, opinions or
      conclusions stated therein).

    

    

    (c)    No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own bad faith or its own willful
      misconduct, except that:

    

    

    (i)    this paragraph does not limit the effect of clause (b) or (d) of this Section 6.01;

    

    

    (ii)    the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it is proved that the
      Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

    

    

    (iii)    the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
      principal amount of the outstanding Notes of any series, determined as provided herein, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
      Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Notes of such series.

    

    

    (d)    No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the
      exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for

    

    

    
      36

      
        


    

    

    

    believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

    

    

    (e)    Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee shall be subject to
      the provisions of this Section 6.01.

    

    

    (f)    The Trustee shall not be liable for interest or earnings on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.  Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be
      segregated from other funds except to the extent required by the law.

    

    

    (g)    The Trustee shall not be responsible for the application of any money by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee.

    

    

    SECTION 6.02.    Rights of Trustee.

    

    

    Subject to Section 6.01:

    

    

    (a)    The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
      direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed in good faith by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
      person.  The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

    

    

    (b)    Any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board
      Resolution.

    

    

    (c)    Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee
      (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate.

    

    

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

    

    

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

    

    

    (f)    The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of
      any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

    

    

    
      37

      
        


    

    

    

    (g)    The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless
      such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

    

    

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

    

    

    (i)    The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
      consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further reasonable inquiry or reasonable investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit.

    

    

    (j)    The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless written notice of such Default or Event of Default from the Company or any
      Holder is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee/Paying Agent, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

    

    

    (k)    The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant
      to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

    

    

    (l)    Anything contrary in this Indenture notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but
      not limited to, loss of profit), even if the Trustee has been advised as to the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

    

    

    (m)    The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances
      beyond its control, including, without limitation, any provision of any law or regulation or any act of any Governmental Authority, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots;
      interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental action and may do anything which is, in its reasonable
      opinion, necessary to comply with any such law, directive or regulation.

    

    

    (n)    The permissive right of the Trustee to take or refrain from taking action hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.

    

    

    
      38

      
        


    

    

    

    (o)    Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, the Trustee and Agents may refrain without liability from doing anything that would or might in its reasonable opinion be contrary to any law of any
      state or jurisdiction (including but not limited to the United States of America or any jurisdiction forming a part of it and England & Wales) or any directive or regulation of any agency of any such state or jurisdiction and may without
      liability do anything which is, in its reasonable opinion, necessary to comply with any such law, directive or regulation.  The Trustee and Agents agree to notify the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law and regulation, of the
      circumstances which may cause the Trustee or Agents to refrain from acting, as soon as reasonably practicable following such circumstances arising.

    

    

    SECTION 6.03.    Individual Rights of Trustee.

    

    

    The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for or otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate thereof
      with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest within the meaning of TIA §310(b)(1), it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA §310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest
      of participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA §310(b)(1) are met, other than the fact that such indentures are not described herein.

    

    

    Any Agent may do the same with like rights.  The Trustee is subject to Section 6.09.

    

    

    SECTION 6.04.    Trustee’s and Agent’s Disclaimers.

    

    

    The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Authentication Agent’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor the Authentication Agent
      assumes responsibility for their correctness.  Neither the Trustee nor the Authentication Agent makes representations as to the validity, sufficiency or adequacy of this Indenture or of the Notes.  Neither the Trustee nor the Authentication Agent
      shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Notes or the proceeds thereof.  The Trustee shall not be responsible to make any calculation with respect to any matter under this Indenture.  The Trustee represents that it is duly
      authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture and perform its obligations hereunder, as applicable.  Each Agent represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations
      hereunder, as applicable.  Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have a duty to monitor or investigate the Company’s compliance with or the breach of, or cause to be performed or observed, any representation, warranty or covenant made in this
      Indenture.

    

    

    SECTION 6.05.    Notice of Defaults.

    

    

    Within 90 days after the occurrence thereof, and if known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to the Holders of the Notes of a series notice of each Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such series
      known to the Trustee, by transmitting such notice to Holders at their addresses as the same shall then appear on the register of the Notes kept by

    

    

    
      39

      
        


    

    

    

    the Registrar, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice.  Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes of a series
      when and as the same shall become payable, or to make any payment as to Notes of a series pursuant to a redemption or repurchase of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if
      and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.

    

    

    SECTION 6.06.    Compensation and Indemnity.

    

    

    (a)    The Company shall pay to the Trustee and Agents from time to time such compensation for their services hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
      compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as shall be agreed upon in writing.  The Company shall reimburse the Trustee and Agents upon written request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by them in connection
      with the Trustee’s duties under this Indenture, including the compensation and reasonable disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and external counsel, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its willful
      misconduct, bad faith or negligence.

    

    

    (b)    The Company shall fully indemnify each of the Trustee and its officers, agents and employees and any predecessor Trustee (each, an “Indemnified Party”, and,
      collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) for, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’
      fees and expenses incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or performance of its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or any
      Guarantor (including this Section 6.06) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder
      (including, without limitation, settlement costs).  The Trustee shall notify the Company in writing promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice at its Corporate Trust Office asserted against an
      Indemnified Party for which such Indemnified Party may seek indemnity; provided that the failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder.  The
      Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Any settlement which affects an Indemnified Party may not be entered into without the consent of such Indemnified Party, unless such
      indemnified party is given a full and unconditional release from liability with respect to the claims covered thereby and such settlement does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability, or failure to act by or on behalf of such
      Indemnified Party.  Any Indemnified Party may have separate counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Company and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed in writing to
      the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding include both the Company and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual differing interests between or
      among them, or (iii) the Company fails to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in

    

    

    
      40

      
        


    

    

    

    which case the Company shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel.

    

    

    (c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability to have been incurred by the Trustee through its own willful
      misconduct, bad faith or negligence.

    

    

    (d)    To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this Section 6.06, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and such money or
      property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.

    

    

    (e)    The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee, Agents and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee, Agents and each predecessor
      Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be the liability of the Company and the lien provided for under this Section 6.06 and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge or other termination
      of this Indenture for any reason, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law.

    

    

    (f)    In addition to, but without prejudice to its other rights under this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(g), (h) or
      (i) occurs, the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

    

    

    (g)    For purposes of this Section 6.06, the term “Trustee” shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however,
      that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights or any other Trustee hereunder.

    

    

    SECTION 6.07.    Replacement of Trustee.

    

    

    (a)    A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 6.07.

    

    

    (b)    The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in writing no later than 30 calendar days prior to the date of the proposed resignation.  The Holders of a majority in principal
      amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by notifying the Company and the removed Trustee in writing no later than 30 calendar days prior to the date of the proposed removal and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s written
      consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Company may remove the Trustee at its election if:

    

    

    (i)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.09;

    

    

    (ii)    the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief entered with respect to the Trustee under Bankruptcy Law;

    

    

    
      41

      
        


    

    

    

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

    

    

    (iv)    the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

    

    

    (c)    If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

    

    

    (d)    If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of
      the outstanding Notes may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction, in the case of the Trustee, for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

    

    

    (e)    If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.09, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

    

    

    (f)    A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.  Immediately following such delivery, the retiring Trustee shall, subject to
      the lien and its rights under Section 6.06, transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, 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.  A successor Trustee shall transmit notice of its succession to each Holder.  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.07, the lien and Company’s obligations under Section
      6.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

    

    

    SECTION 6.08.    Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger, etc.

    

    

    Any Person into which the Trustee or any successor to it in the trusts created by this Indenture shall be merged or converted, or any Person with which it or any successor to it shall be consolidated, or any Person
      resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or any such successor to it shall be a party, or any Person to which the Trustee or any successor to it shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the
      corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor Trustee under this Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that









      such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI.  In case at the time such successor to the Trustee (if acting as the Authentication Agent) shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture with respect to one or more
      series of Notes, any of such Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered by the Trustee (if acting as the Authentication Agent) then in office, any successor to such Trustee (if acting as the Authentication Agent) may adopt the certificate
      of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any
      predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee
      (if acting as the Authentication Agent) or

    

    

    
      42

      
        


    

    

    

    authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

    

    

    SECTION 6.09.    Eligibility; Disqualification.

    

    

    There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
      trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.  The Trustee (together with its corporate parent) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in the most recent
      applicable published annual report of condition.

    

    

    The Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflict of interest under or in respect of its duties under this Indenture except and to the extent provided for in TIA §310(b)(1); provided,
      however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA §310(b)(1) 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 TIA §310(b)(1) are met, other than the fact that such indentures are not described herein.

    

    

    SECTION 6.10.    Reports by Trustee to Holders.

    

    

    If required by TIA §313(a), within 60 days after (i) the first anniversary of the first date of issuance of Notes hereunder and (ii) each anniversary of such date, the Trustee shall transmit to each Holder a brief report
      dated as of such date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA §313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA §313(b)(2). 
      The Trustee shall also transmit all reports as required by TIA §313(c) and comply with TIA §313(d).

    

    

    SECTION 6.11.    Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

    

    

    The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a).  A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

    

    

    ARTICLE VII Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

    

    

    SECTION 7.01.    Without Consent of Holders.

    

    

    The Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may, without the consent of any Holder of a Note of any series, from time to time and at any time, enter into a supplemental indenture amending or supplementing this Indenture,
      the Notes or the Guarantees in order to:

    

    

    (a)    convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Holders of the Notes of any series or any person acting on their behalf as security for the Notes of such series any property or assets;

    

    

    (b)    evidence the succession of another person to the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor

    

    

    
      43

      
        


    

    

    

    person(s) of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, pursuant to this Indenture;

    

    

    (c)    evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment of a successor or successors to the Trustee and/or the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, Calculation Agent and Registrar, as applicable;

    

    

    (d)    add to the covenants of, or the restrictions, conditions or provisions applicable to, the Company and any Guarantor, as the case may be, such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or
      provisions as the Company and any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of the Notes of any series issued pursuant to this Indenture, including to eliminate one or both prongs of the release provision
      under Section 9.07 hereof, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default under this Indenture 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 may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default;

    

    

    (e)    modify the restrictions on, and procedures for, resale and other transfers of the Notes of such series pursuant to law, regulation or practice relating to the resale or transfer of restricted
      securities generally;

    

    

    (f)    cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained in this Indenture, the Notes, or the Guarantees which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained
      therein or to make such other provision in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees as the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee may deem necessary or desirable and which will not, in the opinion of the
      Company, adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes of such series in any material respect;

    

    

    (g)    issue an unlimited aggregate principal amount of Notes under this Indenture or to “reopen” the applicable series of Notes and create and issue additional notes having substantially identical terms
      and conditions as the Notes of such series (or in all respects except as to issue price, denomination, rate of interest, Maturity Date and the date from which interest, if any, shall accrue, and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to
      such Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture relating thereto) so that the additional notes are consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding Notes of such series; and

    

    

    (h)    evidence the addition of any new Guarantor of the Notes and this Indenture, or the release of any Guarantor from its obligations with respect to the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to the terms
      of this Indenture.

    

    

    Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.05, the
      Trustee shall join with the Company and the

    

    

    
      44

      
        


    

    

    

    Guarantors in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture, in which case the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
      enter into such supplemental indenture.

    

    

    SECTION 7.02.    With Consent of Holders.

    

    

    (a)    The Company, each Guarantor and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all series of the Notes affected by such supplemental
      indenture (voting as one class) at the time outstanding under this Indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the applicable Notes), from time to time and at any time, may enter into a supplemental
      indenture for the purpose of amending, waiving or otherwise modifying the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, or adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the applicable Notes
      or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the applicable Notes; provided, that no such supplemental indenture may, without the consent of the Holder of each of the Notes so affected:

    

    

    (i)    change the Stated Maturity of the applicable Note of, or the date for payment of any principal of, or installment of interest on, any applicable Note, or reduce the amount of
      principal of an Original Issue Discount Note that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.02;

    

    

    (ii)    reduce the principal amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any applicable Note or Additional Amounts payable with respect thereto or reduce the amount payable thereon
      in the event of redemption or default or change the method for determining the interest rate thereon;

    

    

    (iii)    change the currency of payment of principal of or interest on any applicable Note or Additional Amounts payable with respect thereto or change the obligation of the Company or
      any Guarantor, as the case may be, to pay Additional Amounts (except as otherwise permitted by such applicable Note);

    

    

    (iv)    impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or with respect to any applicable Note;

    

    

    (v)    reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Notes outstanding the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture; or

    

    

    (vi)    reduce the aggregate principal amount of any applicable Note outstanding necessary to modify or amend this Indenture or any such Note or to waive any future compliance or past
      default or reduce the quorum requirements or the percentage of aggregate principal amount of any applicable Notes outstanding required for the adoption of any action at any meeting of Holders of such Notes or to reduce the percentage of the aggregate
      principal amount of such Notes outstanding necessary to rescind or annul any declaration of the principal of, or all accrued and unpaid interest on, any Note to be due and payable;

    

    

    
      45

      
        


    

    

    

    provided that no consent of any Holder of any applicable Note shall be necessary to permit the Trustee, the Company and each Guarantor to execute supplemental indentures as described under Section 7.01.

    

    

    (b)    In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of a series of Notes have concurred in any direction, notice, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any subsidiary of
      the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in conclusively relying on any such direction, notice, waiver or consent,
      only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

    

    

    (c)    It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 7.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent
      approves the substance thereof.

    

    

    After an amendment that requires the consent of the Holders of the affected Notes becomes effective, the Company shall transmit to each registered Holder of the affected Notes pursuant to Section 10.01 a notice briefly
      describing such amendment.  However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders of such Notes, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

    

    

    Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the receipt by the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders as
      aforesaid and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.05, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s
      own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture, in which case the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

    

    

    SECTION 7.03.    Revocation and Effect of Consents.

    

    

    After an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent conclusive and binding upon such Holder and every subsequent Holder of the same Note
      or portion thereof, and of any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Note.  However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may
      revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.  An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and
      thereafter binds every Holder, whether or not they have consented to such action or were present at the meeting at which such action was taken and every subsequent Holder of the same Note or portion thereof, and of any Note issued upon the transfer
      thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Note.

    

    

    The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver.  If a

    

    

    
      46

      
        


    

    

    

    record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or
      waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.  No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite
      number of Holders has been obtained.

    

    

    SECTION 7.04.    Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

    

    

    If an amendment, supplement, or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Paying Agent (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Company) shall request the Holder of the Note (in accordance with the
      specific written direction of the Company) to deliver it to the Paying Agent.  In such case, the Paying Agent shall place an appropriate notation (in accordance with a specific written direction from the Company) on the Note about the changed terms
      and return it to the Holder.  Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Authentication Agent shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.  Failure to make the appropriate
      notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

    

    

    SECTION 7.05.    Trustee To Sign Amendments, etc.

    

    

    The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article VII if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.  If
      it does affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee, the Trustee may, but need not, sign such amendment, supplement or waiver.  In signing or refusing to sign such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled
      to receive and, subject to Section 6.01, shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating, in addition to the matters required by Section 10.02, that such amendment, supplement or waiver is
      authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and, in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, that such amendment or supplemental indenture is valid and binding on the Company and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms.

    

    

    ARTICLE VIII Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance

    

    

    SECTION 8.01.    Satisfaction and Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance.

    

    

    (a)    This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect with respect to any Notes or any series of Notes (except as to rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes and
      rights to receive principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Notes) as to all outstanding Notes of such series issued hereunder when:

    

    

    (i)    either:

    

    

    (a)    all the Notes of such series that have been authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money
      has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the

    

    

    
      47

      
        


    

    

    

    Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from this trust) have been delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation; or

    

    

    (b)    all Notes of such series not delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation otherwise (i) have become due and payable; (ii) will become due and payable within one year; or (iii)
      have been called for redemption within one year pursuant to the provisions described in the form of notes of such series and, in any case, the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust
      funds, in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, (x) money in the currency in which payment of the Notes of such series is to be made in an amount; (y) Government Obligations with respect to such series, maturing as to principal
      and interest at such times and in such amounts as will ensure the availability of money in the currency in which payment of the Notes of such series is to be made in an amount; or (z) a combination thereof, that is sufficient (without consideration
      of any reinvestment of interest) to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness (including all principal and accrued interest) on the Notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation;

    

    

    (ii)    the Company or any Guarantor has paid all sums payable by it with respect to such series under this Indenture; and

    

    

    (iii)    the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes of such series at maturity or on the Redemption
      Date, as the case may be.

    

    

    In addition, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been complied with.

    

    

    (b)    Subject to clause (c) of this Section 8.01 and Section 8.02, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors discharged with
      respect to the outstanding Notes of a series (“Legal Defeasance”).  Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by
      the Notes of such series and the related Guarantees, and this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding Notes of such series and the related Guarantees, on the 91st day after the applicable conditions described in Section
      8.02 have been satisfied, except as to:

    

    

    (i)    the rights of Holders of such series of Notes issued under this Indenture to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when
      such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture;

    

    

    (ii)    the Company’s obligations with respect to such series Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes under Section 2.11, registration of Notes under Section 2.04, mutilated,
      destroyed, lost or stolen Notes under Section 2.08, and the maintenance of an

    

    

    
      48

      
        


    

    

    

    office or agency for payment under Section 2.04 and money for security payments held in trust under Section 2.05;

    

    

    (iii)    the rights, powers, trust, duties, and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company’s obligation in connection therewith; and

    

    

    (iv)    the applicable provisions of this Article VIII.

    

    

    In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors released with respect to (A) their respective obligations under Sections 4.09 and 4.10 with
      respect to the outstanding Notes of a series and (B) the operation of Section 5.01 (“Covenant Defeasance”) on and after the conditions in Section 8.02 with respect to Covenant Defeasance are satisfied, and
      thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Notes.  The Company may exercise its Legal Defeasance option regardless of whether it previously exercised Covenant
      Defeasance.

    

    

    (c)    If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto.

    

    

    (d)    Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates.

    

    

    (e)    Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 8.01, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 6.06, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive with respect to such series of Notes until
      such time as the Notes of such series have been paid in full.  Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 6.06, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive.

    

    

    SECTION 8.02.    Conditions to Defeasance.

    

    

    In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes of any series:

    

    

    (a)    the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, as trust funds, in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes of such series (i) money in the currency in which payment of the
      Notes of such series is to be made in an amount, (ii) Government Obligations with respect to such series, maturing as to principal and interest at such times and in such amounts as will ensure the availability of money in the currency in which
      payment of the Notes of such series is to be made in an amount or (iii) a combination thereof, that will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest) in the opinion of a certified public accounting firm of national reputation
      selected by the Company, to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes of such series on the stated date for payment or on the Redemption Date of the principal or installment of principal of, or interest on such series of Notes;

    

    

    (b)    in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the beneficial owners of Notes of such series will not recognize income,
      gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the

    

    

    
      49

      
        


    

    

    

    Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred, which opinion must be
      based either on a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax laws or regulations occurring after the date hereof or the Company having received a ruling from, or published by, the Internal Revenue Service to that effect;

    

    

    (c)    in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the beneficial owners of Notes of such series will not recognize income,
      gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes solely as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the Covenant
      Defeasance had not occurred;

    

    

    (d)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; and

    

    

    (e)    the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the
      Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

    

    

    If the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes of the applicable series when due, then the Company’s obligations and the
      obligations of the Guarantors under this Indenture will be revived with respect to such series and no such defeasance will be deemed to have occurred.

    

    

    SECTION 8.03.    Deposited Money and Government Obligations To Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

    

    

    All money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.02(a) in respect of the outstanding Notes of a series shall be held in trust and applied by the
      Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, but such money need
      not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

    

    

    The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.02(a) or the principal, premium, if any, and
      interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

    

    

    Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon a request of the Company any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in
      Section 8.02(a) which, in the opinion of a certified public accounting firm of national reputation selected by the Company expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be
      required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

    

    

    
      50

      
        


    

    

    

    SECTION 8.04.    Reinstatement.

    

    

    If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority
      enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the applicable Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time
      as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or accrued
      interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee.

    

    

    SECTION 8.05.    Moneys Held by Paying Agent.

    

    

    In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon written demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee, or
      if sufficient moneys have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.02(a), any excess funds to the Company upon a request of the Company, and thereupon the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such
      moneys.

    

    

    SECTION 8.06.    Moneys Held.

    

    

    Subject to any applicable abandoned property laws, any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes
      of a series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Order, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged; and the Holder of
      such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or the Paying Agent with respect to such money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall
      thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to
      be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York, New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which
      shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

    

    

    ARTICLE IX Guarantees

    

    

    SECTION 9.01.    Guarantee.

    

    

    (a)    Each Guarantor, hereby jointly and severally, fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the Notes and obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to each Holder of a
      Note authenticated and delivered by the Authentication Agent,

    

    

    
      51

      
        


    

    

    

    and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, that (i) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes will be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (including,
      without limitation, the amount that would become due but for the operation of any automatic stay provision of any Bankruptcy Law), together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the
      Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same will be
      paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in
      Section 9.03.

    

    

    Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the
      same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which
      might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Guarantor.

    

    

    (b)    Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of
      the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that, subject to Section 9.07, the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be discharged as to any
      series of Notes, unless paid or provided for in accordance with the obligations contained in such series of Notes, this Indenture and such Guarantee.  Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. 
      Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such Note, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the
      Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against each Guarantor to enforce such Guarantor’s Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other
      Guarantor.  Each Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of
      the Notes, to collect interest on the Notes, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, such Guarantor will pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise
      have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders.

    

    

    (c)    If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to
      either the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee of each Guarantor, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.  Each Guarantor further agrees
      that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) subject to

    

    

    
      52

      
        


    

    

    

    this Article IX, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article V for the purposes of the Guarantee of such Guarantor, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
      preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article V, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
      payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantee of such Guarantor.

    

    

    (d)    Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become
      insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be
      reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes, whether as a “voidable
      preference”, “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent
      permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

    

    

    SECTION 9.02.    Severability.

    

    

    In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

    

    

    SECTION 9.03.    Limitation of Liability.

    

    

    Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by each such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
      conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or the provisions of its local law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance.  To
      effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and each such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other
      contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to this
      Article IX, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

    

    

    SECTION 9.04.    Contribution.

    

    

    In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any
      Guarantor under a Guarantee, such Guarantor will be entitled to a contribution from any other

    

    

    
      53

      
        


    

    

    

    Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Guarantor determined in accordance with IFRS.

    

    

    SECTION 9.05.    Subrogation.

    

    

    Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.01; provided,
      however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts
      then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

    

    

    SECTION 9.06.    Reinstatement.

    

    

    Each Guarantor hereby agrees (and each Person who becomes a Guarantor shall agree) that the Guarantee provided for in Section 9.01 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time,
      payment, or any part thereof, of any obligations or interest thereon is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by a Holder to the Company upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any Guarantor.

    

    

    SECTION 9.07.    Release of a Guarantor.

    

    

    Without the consent of the Trustee or the Holders, any Guarantor that is a subsidiary of the Parent (a “Subsidiary Guarantor”), other than BATIF and BATNF, will automatically and
      unconditionally be released from all obligations under its Guarantee, and such Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect, in the event that (i) its guarantee of all then outstanding notes issued under the
      EMTN Programme is released; or (ii) at substantially the same time its Guarantee of the Notes is terminated, the Subsidiary Guarantor is released from all obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money for which such Subsidiary Guarantor
      is an obligor (as a guarantor or borrower).  For purposes of this Section 9.07, the amount of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s indebtedness for borrowed money shall not include (a) the Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture; (b) any other debt the terms of
      which permit the termination of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of such debt under similar circumstances, as long as such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations in respect of such other debt are terminated at substantially the same time as its
      guarantee of the Notes; (c) any debt that is being refinanced at substantially the same time that the guarantee of the Notes is being released; provided that any obligations of the relevant Subsidiary
      Guarantor in respect of the debt that is incurred in the refinancing shall be included in the calculation of the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor’s indebtedness for borrowed money; and (d) for the avoidance of doubt, any debt in respect of which such
      Subsidiary Guarantor is an obligor (as a guarantor or borrower) (A) between or among the Parent and any subsidiary or subsidiaries thereof; or (B) between or among any subsidiaries of the Parent.

    

    

    SECTION 9.08.    Benefits Acknowledged.

    

    

    Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that its respective Guarantee is knowingly made in contemplation of such
      benefits.

      notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice or communication to the Trustee, any Agent, the Company or any Guarantor shall be deemed duly given until actually received by the Trustee, such Agent, the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable.

    

    

    The Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee or the Agents by written notice to the others may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

    

    

    The Trustee and each Agent shall have the right, but shall not be required, to rely upon and comply with instructions and directions sent by email, facsimile and other similar unsecured electronic methods by persons
      believed by the Trustee and each Agent, as applicable, to be authorized to give instructions and directions on behalf of the Company.  The Trustee and each Agent, as applicable, shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm that the person
      who sent such instructions or directions is, in fact, a person authorized to give instructions on behalf of the Company; and the Trustee and each Agent, as applicable, shall have no liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or
      sustained by the Company as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such instructions or directions; provided that such reliance was in good faith.  The Company agrees to assume all risks arising
      out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee or any Agent, as applicable, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee or such Agent acting on unauthorized instructions, and all the risk of
      interception and misuse by third parties.

    

    

    Notices to holders of Notes will be given by first-class mail postage prepaid to the last addresses of such holders as they appear in the Notes register.  Such notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of
      such mailing; provided, no such mailing will be required so long as any Global Notes representing the Notes are held in their entirety on behalf of the Depositary or a clearing system, or any of its
      participants.  In such case, there may be substituted for the mailing of notice to holders of Notes described above the delivery of the relevant notices to the Depositary or a clearing system, and (if applicable) its participants, for communication
      by them to the entitled accountholders.  Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the day on which the said notice was given to the Depositary or a clearing system, and (if applicable) its participants.

    

    

    Failure to transmit a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.  If a notice or communication to a Holder is transmitted in the manner
      provided above, it shall be deemed duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

    

    

    
      56

      
        


    

    

    

    If the Company transmits a notice or communication to Holders, it will transmit a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

    

    

    In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service, or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impossible to mail any notice as required by this Indenture, then such method of notification as shall be made
      with the consultation of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient mailing of such notice.

    

    

    SECTION 10.02.    Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent.

    

    

    Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, if so requested by the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee:

    

    

    (a)    an Officer’s Certificate (which must include the statements set forth in Section 10.03) stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture
      relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and

    

    

    (b)    an Opinion of Counsel (which must include the statements set forth in Section 10.03) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with.

    

    

    SECTION 10.03.    Statements Required in Certificate and Opinion.

    

    

    Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture must include (other than a certificate provided pursuant to Section 4.12):

    

    

    (a)    a statement that the Person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition;

    

    

    (b)    a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

    

    

    (c)    a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such
      covenant or condition has been complied with; and

    

    

    (d)    a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

    

    

    SECTION 10.04.    Communications by Holders with Other Holders.

    

    

    Holders may communicate pursuant to TIA §312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes.  The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of TIA
      §312(c).

    

    

    
      57

      
        


    

    

    

    SECTION 10.05.    Rules by Trustee and Agents.

    SECTION 10.06.    No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders.

    

    

    No director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, past, present or future, will have any liability for any of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s obligations under the Notes or this Indenture
      or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the
      Notes.

    

    

    SECTION 10.07.    Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction.

    

    

    THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OR ANY SUCCESSOR TO SUCH STATUTE) WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS INDENTURE, THE

      COURTS AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF.  THE COMPANY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED
      MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE COMPANY AT ITS ADDRESS REFERRED TO IN SECTION 10.01.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
      LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR

    

    

    
      58

      
        


    

    

    

    PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO ABOVE AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH
      COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.  NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL
      PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

    

    

    SECTION 10.08.    No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.

    SECTION 10.10.    Separability.

    

    

    In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

    

    

    SECTION 10.11.    Counterpart Originals; Effectiveness.

    

    

    The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture.  Each signed copy will be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.  The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages
