provides for the execution thereof by the applicable Guarantor (it being understood and agreed that any such Guarantee may, but need not, provide for execution by the applicable Guarantor), such Guarantee, for the Company or such Guarantor, as
applicable, by manual or facsimile signature. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security or any Guarantee that has been duly
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security or any Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time a Security or any Guarantee, if any, is authenticated, the Security or any Guarantee will
nevertheless be valid. A Security or any Guarantee will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Security or any Guarantee has been authenticated under this
Indenture. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate any Securities or any Guarantees, if
any. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities or any Guarantees, if any, whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An
authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

provide, executed by such Guarantors, to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Securities with any such Guarantees 

  
 11

“Authentication Order”). In authenticating such Securities appertaining thereto, with any such Guarantees endorsed thereon or attached thereto, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such
Securities and Guarantees, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

and 12.05, or a letter addressed to the Trustee allowing the Trustee to rely on an Opinion of Counsel, substantially to the effect that: 

(1) the form or forms and terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of
Directors or by a supplemental indenture as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.02 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

(2) such Securities have been duly authorized, and, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company
in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and by general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; 

(g) at the option of each applicable Guarantor, either an Opinion of Counsel, prepared in accordance with Sections 12.04 and 12.05, or a letter
addressed to the Trustee allowing the Trustee to rely on an Opinion of Counsel, substantially to the effect that:

form or forms and terms of such Guarantor’s Guarantee, if any, have been duly established by or pursuant to a resolution of such Guarantor’s Board of Directors or by a supplemental indenture as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.02 in

 12 








 provided, however, that in the case of any Series issuable in Tranches, if the Trustee has previously
received the documents referred to in Section 2.04(a)-(g) with respect to such Series, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities of such Series executed and delivered by the Company and, if required, any Guarantor of any
Guarantee endorsed thereon or attached thereto, for original issuance upon receipt by the Trustee of an Authentication Order. 
 The
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such Securities may not lawfully be issued by the Company, or, if the terms of such
Securities provide for the endorsement thereon or attachment thereto of any Guarantees by any Guarantors, that any such Guarantee may not lawfully be made, or if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture in a manner not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.14, together with a
written statement (which need not comply with Sections 12.04 and 12.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security
shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 Section 2.05
Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 The Company will maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration
of transfer or for exchange pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the
Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent”
includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this
Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to any Global
Securities. 
 Section 2.06 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit
of Holders of the Securities of any Series or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, if any, the Securities of any Series and will notify the Trustee of any
default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate
and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of any Series all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as
Paying Agent for the Securities of any Series. 
 Section 2.07 Holder Lists. 

The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to 

  
 13 








 
the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may 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 and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a). 
 Section 2.08
Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments of Interest. 
 The Securities of any Series shall be issuable in definitive
registered form without coupons and in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.02. In the absence of any such specification with respect to the Securities of any Series, the Securities of such
Series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any multiple thereof, and interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Securities of any Series shall be numbered, lettered, or otherwise
distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the Officers of the Company executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. 

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication, shall bear interest from the date and shall be payable on the dates, in each
case, which shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.02. 
 Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the payment of such interest. 

The term “record date” as used with respect to any interest payment date (except for a date for payment of defaulted interest) shall
mean the date specified as such in the terms of the Securities of any Series, or, if no such date is so specified, if such interest payment date is the first day of a calendar month, the close of business on the fifteenth day of the next preceding
calendar month or, if such interest payment date is the fifteenth day of a calendar month, the close of business on the first day of such calendar month, whether or not such record date is a Business Day. 

Any interest on any Security of any Series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment
date (called “defaulted interest” for the purpose of this Section 2.08) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant record date by virtue of his having been such Holder; and such defaulted interest may
be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or clause (b) below: 
 (a) The Company may elect
to make payment of any defaulted interest to the Persons in whose names any such Securities (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest,
which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such Series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same
time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of
the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such
defaulted interest in respect of Securities of such Series which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such defaulted interest and the special record date thereof to
be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder at his address as it appears in the Security register, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such defaulted interest and the special
record date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such defaulted interest in respect of Securities of such Series shall be paid to the Person in whose names such Securities (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered on such
special record date and such defaulted interest shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b). 

  
 14 








 (b) The Company may make payment of any defaulted interest on the Securities of any
Series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of that Series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by
the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.08, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

Section 2.09 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Securities. 

(1) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such
office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 4.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Securities Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Registrar” for the purposes of registration and transfer of Securities as herein provided. 

(2) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Securities of any Series at an office or agency of the Company
designated pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 4.02 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of such Series of any
authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 (3) At the option of the Holder, Securities of any
Series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same Series, of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities of such Series to be exchanged at such office or agency, and upon
payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 (b) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchange. 

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee with authenticate, Securities
upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.04 hereof or at the Registrar’s request. 

(2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Security for any registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or
transfer pursuant to Sections 2.09, 2.13 and 9.06 and Article 3 hereof). 
 (3) The Registrar will not be required to
register the transfer of or exchange of any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

(4) Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company, any
applicable Guarantor or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

  
 15 








 (5) All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange will be
the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture and the applicable Guarantees, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

(6) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required to: 

(A) issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15
days before the day of any selection of Securities of such Series for redemption under Article 3 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; 

(B) register the transfer of or to exchange any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Security being redeemed in part; or 
 (C) register the transfer of or to exchange a Security between a record
date and the next succeeding interest payment date. 
 (7) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any
Security, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Security and for
all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (8) The
Trustee will authenticate Securities in accordance with Section 2.04 hereof. 
 (9) Any Holder of a Global Security
shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent), and that ownership
of a beneficial interest in the Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. 
 (10) All certifications,
certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.09 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 

Section 2.10 Replacement Securities. 

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Security, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Security of the same Series, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, if the
Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder thereof that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any
Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security. 

Upon the issuance of any replacement Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in full
shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a replacement Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced
Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of
destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.


  
 16 








 Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all
of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Securities of the same Series duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.11
Outstanding Securities. 
 The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those
canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.11 as not
outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.12 hereof, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security. 

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to
it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Security is considered paid under
Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease
to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.12 Treasury Securities. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of such Series have concurred in any direction, waiver
or consent, Securities of such Series owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered
as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities of such Series that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so
disregarded. 
 Section 2.13 Temporary Securities. 

Until certificates representing the Securities are ready for delivery the Company, and, if applicable, any applicable Guarantors, may prepare
and execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities for such Series (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the
Trustee). Temporary Securities of any Series may be issued in any authorized denomination and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such Series but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be
appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary
Security shall be executed by the Company, and, if applicable, any applicable Guarantors, and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive
Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company, and, if applicable, any applicable Guarantors, shall execute and shall furnish definitive Securities of such Series, and thereupon temporary Securities of such Series may be
surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Company for that purpose pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 4.02, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of
such Series a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same Series of authorized denominations. 
 Holders
of temporary Securities will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 

  
 17 








 Section 2.14 Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Securities of such Series to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will
forward to the Trustee any Securities of such Series surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, and no one else, will cancel all Securities of such Series surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Securities of such Series (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Securities of
such Series will be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities of such Series to replace Securities of such Series that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.15 CUSIP Numbers. 

The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use
CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice
of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
 Section 2.16 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Security. 

(a) Any Global Security of a Series initially shall (1) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such
Depositary, (2) be delivered to the Trustee as Custodian for such Depositary and (3) bear any required legends. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this
Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its Custodian, or under the Global Security, 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 Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization 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 Security. 

(b) Transfers of any Global Security 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 Security may be transferred or exchanged for definitive Securities in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary. Definitive Securities shall be transferred
to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security only if (1) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Security and a successor Depositary
is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or (2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 (c) In
connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in any Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 2.16, the Registrar shall (if one or more definitive Securities are to be
issued) reflect on the Securities Register the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more definitive Securities of like tenor and amount. 
 (d) In connection
with the transfer of an entire Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 2.16, the Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations.


  
 18 








 (e) The Holder of any Global Security 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 Securities of such Series. 

Section 2.17 Interest Act (Canada). 

For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest is made payable hereunder or in the Securities
of any Series at any rate or percentage for or based on a period of 360 days, the yearly rate or percentage of interest to which such rate or percentage of interest is equivalent is the rate or percentage stipulated herein or in the Securities
multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year and divided by 360. The foregoing sentence is for disclosure purposes only and shall not otherwise affect the terms of this Indenture or the Securities. To the extent that the Interest Act
(Canada) is applicable, all interest which accrues under this Indenture on the Securities shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method and the deemed reinvestment principle shall not apply to such calculations.

Section 3.05 Notice of Redemption. 

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice
of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the
Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 8 hereof. 
 The notice will identify the Securities to be

(b) the redemption price;

 Section 3.06 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Subject to the next succeeding sentence, once notice of redemption is mailed as provided in Section 3.05, Securities of a Series called
for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price. Except as otherwise provided in any indenture supplemental hereto, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or Officer’s Certificate for a
Series, a notice of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date. 

Section 3.07 Deposit of Redemption Price. 

Not later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent

Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities of such Series to be redeemed. 

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the
Securities of such Series or the portions thereof called for redemption, any Guarantees endorsed thereon or attached thereto shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and
the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities or Guarantees except the right to receive the redemption price and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. If a Security is redeemed on or after an interest record date
but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Security called for redemption is
not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful
on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities of such Series and Section 4.01 hereof.

give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any Guarantor or other obligor on the Securities of such Series) to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such Series when the same shall be due and
payable, and 
 (c) give the Trustee notice of any change of address of any Holder of which it is aware. 

The Company will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such Series, deposit with the Paying Agent
a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. 

If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Securities of any Series, it will, on or before each due date of the
principal of or interest on the Securities of such Series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such Series a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. The
Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. 
 Anything in this Section 4.06 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all Series of Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums
held in trust for any such Series by the Company or any Paying Agent hereunder, as required by this Section 4.06, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained. 

Anything in this Section 4.06 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 4.06
is subject to the provisions of Sections 8.07 and 8.08. 
 Section 4.07 Additional Amounts. 

If Securities of a Series provide for the payment of additional amounts to any Holder who is a Non-U.S. Person in respect of any
tax, assessment or governmental charge (“Additional Amounts”), the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such Series such Additional Amounts as may be so provided by Section 2.02. Whenever in this Indenture there is
mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of a Series or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of a Security of a Series, such mention shall be deemed to
include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for by the terms of such Series established pursuant to Section 2.02 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were


  
 23 








 
or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as
excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
 Except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 2.02, if the Securities of a Series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal or interest on which any Additional Amount shall be payable, the Company
will furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with a compliance certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of or
interest on the Securities of that Series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that Series who are Non-U.S. Persons without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities
of that Series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such compliance certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities of that Series and the Company
will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officer’s Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 4.07 or in
the event the Trustee shall not withhold or deduct any sums as a result of the non-receipt of such Officer’s Certificate pursuant to this Section 4.07. 

Section 4.08 Change of Control. 
 (a)
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Securities to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof) of such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).
Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall send a notice to each Holder stating: 
 (1) that the
Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section; 
 (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall
be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 45 days after the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 

(3) that any Securities not tendered will continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Securities accepted for payment
pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (5) that
Holders electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Security, together with such other documents as required by the applicable Security, to the Paying Agent at the address specified
in the notice prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business
on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Securities delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is
unconditionally withdrawing its election to have such Securities purchased; 
 (7) that Holders whose Securities are being
purchased only in part will be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof; and 

  
 24 








 (8) any other information the Company determines would be material to such
Holder’s decision to tender Securities. 
 (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful,
(1) accept for payment all Securities or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities or
portions thereof so tendered and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities or portions thereof being purchased
by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly send to each Holder of Securities so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Securities, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each
Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Security shall be in a principal amount of at least $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Section 4.08 shall permanently terminate upon the occurrence
of an Investment Grade Event, and the occurrence of a Change of Control following an Investment Grade Event shall not result in a requirement for the Company to make a Change of Control Offer. 

(d) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes a Change of Control
Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.08 and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer.

 (e) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities required in the event of a Change of Control. 

Section 4.09 Calculation of Original Issue Discount and Other Amounts. 

The Company shall promptly, at the end of each calendar year, calculate the Original Issue Discount accrued on outstanding Securities as of the
end of such year and shall determine whether the amount of Original Issue Discount qualifies for the de minimis exception rule as set forth in Section 1273(a)(3) of the Code. If such calculated amount does not qualify for the de
minimis exception rule, then the Company shall subsequently file with the Trustee no later than January 15th of each calendar year (a) a written notice specifying the amount of Original Issue Discount (including daily rates and accrual
periods) accrued on outstanding Securities as of the end of such year, and (b) such other specific information relating to such Original Issue Discount as may then be relevant under the Code.

 DEFAULTS AND
REMEDIES 
 Section 6.01 Events of Default. 

In case one or more of the following events of default (unless it is either inapplicable to a particular Series or it is
specifically deleted from or modified in the instrument establishing such Series and the form of Security for such Series) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Series of Securities (an “Event of

of the Securities of such Series a default of whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 6.01 specifically 

  
 26 








 
dealt with) of the Company in this Indenture or the Securities of such Series for 90 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of all Series then outstanding affected by such failure to comply; 
 (d) the Company, or any applicable
Guarantor, pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

(2) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; 

(3) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property;

or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee; or 
 (g) any other Event of
Default provided in the supplemental indenture or resolution of the Board of Directors under which such Series of Securities is issued or in the form of Security for such Series. 

The Events of Default specified in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 6.01 are referred to herein as a “Payment
Default”. 
 Section 6.02 Acceleration. 

In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (d) or (e) of Section 6.01 hereof, all outstanding Securities of such
Series will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities in any particular Series, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such Series may declare all the Securities of such Series to be due and payable immediately. 

Upon any such declaration, the Securities of such Series shall become due and payable immediately. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such Series by written notice to the
Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders of all the Securities of such Series, rescind an acceleration and its consequences hereunder, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except
nonpayment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of such Series that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. Holders of the Securities of such Series shall not enforce
this Indenture or the applicable Securities of such Series except as provided in this Indenture or in any resolution of the Board of Directors or Officer’s Certificate 

  
 27 








 
establishing the Securities of such Series or in any indenture supplemental hereto. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Securities of such notice of any continuing Default or Event of
Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 

Section 6.03 Other Remedies. 
 If an
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, if any, the Securities of such Series so affected or to enforce the performance
of any provision of the Securities of such Series or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Securities of such Series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of any Securities of such Series 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. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series by written notice to the Trustee
may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such Series, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any,
and interest on, if any, the Securities of such Series; provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of each Series so affected may rescind such acceleration and its
consequences, including any related Payment Default that resulted from such acceleration. In the case of any such waiver, the Company, any applicable Guarantors, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Securities of such Series shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.05 Control by Majority. 

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of each Series affected (with each
Series treated as a separate class) may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to
follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of the Securities of such Series so affected or that may involve the Trustee in personal
liability. 
 Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder of any Securities of such Series so affected may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such
Series unless: 
 (a) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 

(b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of each Series so affected make a written
request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 

  
 28 








 (d) the Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and
the offer and, if requested, the provision of security or indemnity; and 
 (e) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of each Series so affected do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request. 

A Holder of any Securities of such Series may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of Securities of such
Series or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of Securities of such Series. 
 Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive
Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of any Securities to receive payment of
principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, if any, such Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on, the Securities of such Series so affected and interest on
overdue principal, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee is authorized to 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 reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Securities of each Series so affected allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of such Series so affected), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims 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 7.07 hereof. To the
extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be
denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that such Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether
in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any such Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of such Series so affected or the rights of any such Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

 Section 6.10 Priorities. 

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation,
expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
 Second:
to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and 
 Third: to the Company or any applicable
Guarantor, as the case may be. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Securities of such
Series pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.11 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 a 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, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of Securities
of each Series so affected pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such Series. 

ARTICLE 7 
 TRUSTEE

 Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its 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: 

(1) the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need
perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

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

not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

 (1) this paragraph does not
limit the effect of clause (b) of this Section 7.01; 
 (2) the Trustee will not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 

  
 30 








 (3) the Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits
to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.

Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion
of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed
with due care.

security satisfactory to it against the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

(g) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any Series unless

or any other obligor on the Securities of such Series or by any Holder of the Securities of such Series, such notice specifically identifying this Indenture and the Securities of a particular Series. 

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities of any Series and may otherwise deal
with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the
SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities of any

responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Securities of any Series or any other document
in connection with the sale of the Securities of any Series or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 
 If
a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Securities of any Series so affected a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it becomes aware
of the Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, if any, any Securities of any Series so affected, the Trustee may withhold the 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 the Holders of the Securities of such Series so affected. 

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Securities. 

(a) Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Securities of

§313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA §313(b). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA
§313(c). 
 (b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Securities of such Series will be mailed by the
Trustee to the Company and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Securities of such Series are listed in accordance with TIA §313(d). The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the
Securities of such Series are listed on any stock exchange. 
 Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 

(a) The Company will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services
hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and
expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except for any such disbursement, advance or expense as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. Such expenses will include the
reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

  
 32 








 (b) The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and Agents and their respective officers, directors,
employees, representatives and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by them arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of their duties under this
Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07) and defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder of Securities of any Series or
any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to their negligence, willful misconduct or bad
faith. An Indemnified Party shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by an Indemnified Party to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend
the claim and an Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense. An Indemnified Party may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without
its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c) The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or, with respect to any Person acting as Trustee under this Indenture, the earlier resignation or removal of such Trustee. 

(d) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities of any Series on
all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities of that Series. 

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or (e) hereof
occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

(f) The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA §313(b) to the extent applicable. 

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to one or more or all Series of Securities and appointment of a successor Trustee
will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 
 (b) The
Trustee may resign with respect to one or more or all Series of Securities in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities of such Series may remove the Trustee with 30 days prior written notice with respect to the Securities of such Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect
to one or more or all Series of Securities if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; 

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any
Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(4) the Trustee 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 with respect to one or more Series of
Securities, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such Series of Securities. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities of such Series may appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such Series of Securities to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 

  
 33 








 (d) If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take
office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the applicable Series may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such Series of Securities. 
 (e) If the
Trustee, after written request by any Holder of Securities of such Series who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Trustee with respect to such Series of Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (f) A successor Trustee with respect to
such Series of Securities will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have
all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to such Series of Securities. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders of Securities of such Series. The retiring Trustee will
promptly transfer all property held with respect to such Series of Securities by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in
Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers or sells all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to,
another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee. 
 Section 7.10 Eligibility;
Disqualification. 
 There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of
the United States 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 and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture will always have a Trustee who
satisfies the requirements of TIA §310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA §310(b). 
 Section 7.11 Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company. 
 The Trustee is subject to TIA §311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA
§311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA §311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 8.01, the provisions of Sections 2.05, 2.09, 8.02 and 8.08 shall survive. 

Section 8.02 Application of Trust Funds; Indemnification. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.08, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.01, all money and
Government Securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 or 8.05 and all money received by the Trustee in respect of Government Securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04, shall be held in trust

certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are then in excess of the amount thereof which then would have been required to be deposited for the purpose for which such Government Securities or money were deposited or received. This provision
shall not authorize the sale by the Trustee of any Government Securities held under this Indenture.

 Section 8.03 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

If pursuant to Section 2.02 provision is made for either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of a Series under
Section 8.04 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of a Series under Section 8.05, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article 8, shall be applicable
to the Securities of such Series, and the Company may at its option at any time with respect to the Securities of such Series, elect to have either Section 8.04 (if applicable) or Section 8.05 (if applicable) be applied to the outstanding
Securities of any Series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
 Section 8.04 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.03 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.04, the Company and each
Guarantor will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.06 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Securities of such Series (including any Guarantees)
on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and each Guarantor will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities of such Series (including any Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this
Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 8.4, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Securities of such Series, any Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of such Series to receive solely from the trust fund described in
Section 8.06 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, if any, such Securities of such Series when such payments are due; 

(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities of such Series under Article 2 and
Section 4.02 hereof; 
 (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and Agents hereunder and
the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and 
 (4) this Article 8. 

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.04 notwithstanding the prior
exercise of its option under Section 8.05 hereof. 
 Section 8.05 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.03 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.05, the Company and each
Guarantor will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.06 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants as it relates to Securities of any Series contained in Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.08
and Article 5 hereof (as well as any additional covenants specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 2.02) with respect to the outstanding Securities of such Series on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of such Series will thereafter
be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding”
for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities of such Series shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of any
Series and any Guarantees, the Company and each Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such 

  
 36 








 
omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such
Securities of such Series and any Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.03 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.05 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.06 hereof, Section 6.01(c) through Section 6.01(f) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 

Section 8.06 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.04 or 8.05 hereof: 

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such
Series, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium on,
if any, and interest on, if any, the outstanding Securities of such Series on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Securities of such
Series are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 
 (2) in the case of an election under
Section 8.04 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: 

(A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 

(B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, 

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such
Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of an election under Section 8.05 hereof, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or
Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to defease the Securities of such Series pursuant to this Article 8 concurrently with such incurrence) or insofar as
Section 6.01 (d) or (e) hereof is concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; 

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; 

(6) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that on the 91st day following the
deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; 

  
 37 








 (7) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Securities of such Series over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other
creditors of the Company; and 
 (8) 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 have been complied with. 

Section 8.07 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to Section 8.08 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with
the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.07, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof in respect of the outstanding Securities of such Series so affected will be held
in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities of such Series and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of such Series of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law. 
 The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof or the principal 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 Securities of such Series. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee
will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.06 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.06(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be
deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.08 Repayment to Company. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of,
premium on, if any, and interest on, if any, any Securities of any Series so affected and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on
its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Securities of such Series will thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all
liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make
any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not
be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

Section 8.09 Reinstatement. 
 If the
Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.04 or 8.05 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such Series will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
Section 8.04 or 8.05 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.04 or 8.05 hereof, as the case may be; 

  
 38 








 
provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, if any, any Securities of such Series following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities of such Series to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT,
SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
 Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Securities. 

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of any Securities of any Series, the Company, when
authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors, each Guarantor, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors, and the Trustee for the Securities of any and all Series may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the TIA), in form satisfactory to such Trustee, for one or more of the following purposes: 

(a) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities of one or more Series, or any Guarantees
endorsed thereon or attached thereto, any property or assets; 
 (b) to evidence the succession of another entity to the Company, or
successive successions, and the assumption by the successor entity of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company or such Guarantor herein and in the Securities or the Guarantees of such Guarantor, as the case may be; 

(c) to add to the covenants and/or Events of Default of the Company or any Guarantor such further covenants, restrictions, conditions,
provisions and/or Events of Default as the Board of Directors, applicable Guarantor’s Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of Securities of any or all Series and, if such additional
covenants and/or Events of Default are to be for the benefit of less than all the Series of Securities stating that such covenants and/or Events of Default are being added solely for the benefit of such Series, 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 permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth
(and if such additional Events of Default are to be for the benefit of less than all Series of the Securities stating that such Events of Default are being added solely for the benefit of such Series); provided, that in respect of any
such additional covenant, restriction, condition, provision and/or Event of Default such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other
defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities of such Series or any Guarantees endorsed thereon or attached thereto to waive such an Event of Default; 
 (d) to cure
any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture; or to make such other
provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture or under any supplemental indenture as the Board of Directors or any Guarantor’s Board of Directors may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not materially and
adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities; 
 (e) to establish the form or terms of Securities of such Series and
any Guarantees endorsed thereon or attached thereto, as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.02; 
 (f) to evidence and provide for the
acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than the one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.08; 

  
 39 








 (g) to delete, modify or add any of the provisions of this Indenture, provided that,
except as otherwise contemplated by Section 2.02, any such deletion, modification or addition shall become effective only when there is no Security of any Series outstanding created prior thereto which is entitled to the benefit of such
provision; 
 (h) to add any Person as an additional Guarantor under this Indenture, to add additional Guarantees or additional Guarantors in
respect of any outstanding Securities under this Indenture, or to evidence the release and discharge of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantees of any Securities and its obligations under this Indenture in respect of any Securities
in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (i) to secure, or, if applicable, provide additional security for, any Securities or
Guarantees and to provide for matters relating thereto, and to provide for the release of any collateral as security for any Securities or Guarantees; or 

(j) to amend or supplement any provision contained herein, which was required to be contained herein in order for this Indenture to be
qualified under the TIA, if the TIA or regulations thereunder change what is so required to be included in qualified indentures, in any manner not inconsistent with what then may be required for such qualification. 

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02(b) hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and any Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or
permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee
will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02. 
 Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of
Securities. 
 The Company, the applicable Guarantor(s), if any, and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer
for the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or amending in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture, of any resolutions of the Board of Directors or Officer’s Certificate establishing
the Securities of such Series, or of any amended or supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.04, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Company or any Guarantor of
Securities of such Series with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities or the applicable Guarantee with respect to such Series. 

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Securities of such Series as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in
Section 7.02(b) hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and any Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 

  
 40 








 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this
Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amended or supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After an amended or supplemental indenture or waiver under this
Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities of such Series affected thereby, a notice briefly describing the amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail or publish such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 

Section 9.03 Limitations. 
 Without
the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Securities held by a non-consenting Holder): 

(a) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

(b) reduce the principal of, or premium, if any, on, or change the stated maturity of, any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the
date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation; 
 (c) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest
(including default interest) on any Security; 
 (d) alter any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Securities of any
Series; 
 (e) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security (except a
rescission of acceleration of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 

(f) make the principal of, or any premium or interest on, any Security payable in any currency other than that stated in the Security; 

(g) make any change in Sections 6.04, 6.07 or 9.03; 

(h) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security, provided that such redemption is made at the Company’s option; 

(i) in the case of any Security that is subject to a Guarantee, release the Guarantor of such Guarantee from any of its obligations under such
Guarantee, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Security; 
 (j) make any change in the ranking or priority of any
Security or any Guarantee thereof that would adversely affect the Holders of such Security; or 
 (k) in the case of any Security that
provides that the Holder may require the Company to repurchase or convert such Security, impair such Holder’s right to require such repurchase or effect such conversion of such Security in accordance with this Indenture and the terms of such
Security. 
 Section 9.04 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities of such Series will be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture
that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

 Section 9.05 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment is set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a
Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security.
However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date of the supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective.

 Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Holder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the
type described in any of clauses (a) through (k) of Section 9.03. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security
that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security. 
 Section 9.06 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Security, together with any Guarantees endorsed
thereon, thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Securities of such Series may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate a new Security, together with any Guarantees endorsed
thereon, that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security, together
with any Guarantees endorsed thereon, or attached thereto, will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Section 9.07 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental
indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
 Section 9.08 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. 

Upon the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be
modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company, any Guarantors and the Holders of Securities of each
Series shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such amended or supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be
part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01
Applicability of Article. 
 If pursuant to Section 2.02 provision is made for Securities of any Series to be guaranteed by any
Guarantor, then the provisions of this Article 10 shall be applicable to the Securities of such Series. 

  
 42 








 Section 10.02 Guarantee. 

(a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors, if any, hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder
of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities of such Series or the obligations of the Company
hereunder or thereunder, that: 
 (1) the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, if any, the Securities of such
Series that are to be guaranteed by the Guarantee of the Guarantors, if any, pursuant to Section 2.02, will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue
principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, if any, the Securities of such Series, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders thereof or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed,
all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and 
 (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of
such Securities of such Series that are to be guaranteed by the Guarantee of the Guarantors, if any, pursuant to Section 2.02 or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly 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. 
 (b) Failing payment when due of any
amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors, if any, will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor, if any, agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and
not a guarantee of collection. 
 (c) Each Guarantor, if any, hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of
the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities of such Series or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities of such Series with respect to any
provisions hereof or thereof, 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 a Guarantor. Each Guarantor, if
any, hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of 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, protest, notice and all demands
whatsoever and covenant that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities of such Series and this Indenture. 

(d) If any Holder of Securities of such Series or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any
Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or any Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (e) Each Guarantor, if any, agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of
subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor, if any, further agrees that, as between any Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Holders of Securities of such Series and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any
stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such
obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors, if any, will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the
exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders of Securities of such Series under the Guarantee. 
 (f) No Guarantee
by any Guarantor of any Security, whether or not such Guarantee is or is to be endorsed thereon or attached thereto, shall be valid and obligatory for any purpose with respect to such Security until the certificate of authentication on such Security
shall have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee. 

  
 43 








 Section 10.03 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 

Each Guarantor, if any, of any Security, and by its acceptance of any Security, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all
such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to
the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors, if any, hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of any such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that
will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of any such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments
made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

Section 10.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor, if any, may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of
its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless: 

(1) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

(2) subject to Section 10.05 hereof, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person will be an entity organized and
existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, and such Person (if not such Guarantor) will expressly assume all of the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee; and 

(3) the Company will have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental agreements (if applicable) comply with this Indenture; 
 provided, however, that the
foregoing will not apply to any such consolidation or merger with or into, or conveyance, transfer or lease to, any Person if the resulting, surviving or transferee Person is not or will not be a Subsidiary of the Company and the other terms of this
Indenture and Securities of such Series are complied with. 
 In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and
upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantee endorsed upon the Securities of such Series and the due and punctual
performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a
Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Securities of such Series issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee. All the Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though
all of such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
 Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the
Securities of such Series will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an
entirety to the Company or another Guarantor. 
 Section 10.05 Releases. 

A Guarantor shall be released and relieved of its obligations under its Guarantee: 

(a) upon the occurrence of a Guarantee Termination Event; 

  
 44 








 (b) upon the occurrence of any of the following events: 

(1) in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor, by way of merger,
consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor, in each case following which such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary; or 

(2) upon any Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such merger,
consolidation, sale or other disposition, or Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the
release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee. 
 Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under any Guarantee as
provided in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, if any, the Securities of such Series and for the other obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture as
provided in this Article 10.
