 Section 104. Acts of Holders; Record Dates. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing. If, but only if, Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of such series voting in favor thereof,
either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders of Securities of such series duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Fourteen, or a combination of such instruments and any such record.
Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or
instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and
the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1406. 
 The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a
notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity
other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may
also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 The ownership, principal amount and serial number of Registered Securities shall be
proved by the Security Register. 
 The ownership, principal amount and serial number of Bearer Securities held by any person may be proved by the production
of such 

  

 10 








 
Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary reasonably acceptable to the Company,
wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or
such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any
Bearer Security continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or
(3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Securities held by the Person so executing such instrument or writing and the date
of the commencement and the date of the termination of holding the same may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 
 The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, set any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding
Registered Securities of any series entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series. With
regard to any record date set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Registered Securities of the relevant series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to give or take the
relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. With regard to any action that may be given or taken hereunder only by Holders of a requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any series (or their duly
appointed agents) and for which a record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, at its option, set an expiration date after which no such action purported to be given or taken by any Holder shall be effective hereunder unless given
or taken on or prior to such expiration date by Holders of the requisite 

  

 11 








 
principal amount of Outstanding Registered Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents). On or prior to any expiration date
set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, on one or more occasions at its option, extend such date to any later date. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent any Holder (or any duly appointed agent thereof) from giving or taking, after any
expiration date, any action identical to, or, at any time, contrary to or different from, any action given or taken, or purported to have been given or taken, hereunder by a Holder on or prior to such date, in which event the Company may set a
record date in respect thereof pursuant to this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the Trust Indenture Act, the Company shall not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, any action to be
given or taken by Holders pursuant to Sections 501, 502 or 512. 
 Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to give or take any action
hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any
different part of such principal amount. 
 Section 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given
or furnished to, or filed with, 
 (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished
or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or 
 (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it to the attention of its Treasurer at the address of its principal office specified in the first
paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. 
 Section 106. Notice to Holders;
Waiver. 
 Except as otherwise expressly provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Securities of any
event, 
  

 12 








 (1) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Registered Securities if in writing and mailed, first-class
postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered Security affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such Notice;
and 
 (2) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer Securities, if any, if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York
and, if such Securities are then listed on any stock exchange outside the United States, in an Authorized Newspaper in such city as the Company shall advise the Trustee that such stock exchange so requires, on a Business Day at least twice, the
first such publication to be not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
 In any case
where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given or provided. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall
constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 
 In case by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or
Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given with the approval of
the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by publication to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect
the sufficiency of any notice mailed to Holders of Registered Securities as provided above. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such
notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities 

  

 13 








 
shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

 Section 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 
 If any
provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or
excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 
 Section 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. 
 The Article
and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 Section 109. Successors
and Assigns. 
 All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 

Section 110. Separability Clause. 
 In case any provision in this
Indenture, any Security or any Coupon shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Section 111. Benefits of Indenture. 
 Nothing in this Indenture, the
Securities or any Coupon, express or implied, shall give to any Person (including any Paying Agent or Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to Section 614), other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders of
Securities or Coupons, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 Section 112. Governing Law. 
 This Indenture, the Securities and any Coupons shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York (including Section 5-1401 of the
General Obligations Law of the State of New York but otherwise without regard to principles of conflicts of laws). 
  

 14 








 Section 113. Legal Holidays. 
 In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repurchase Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, any Security
or any Coupon other than a provision of the Security or Coupon which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on
such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repurchase Date, or at the Stated Maturity, provided that no interest
shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repurchase Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be. 
 ARTICLE TWO 
 Security Forms 
 Section 201. Forms Generally. 
 Each Registered Security, Bearer Security, Coupon and Global Security issued pursuant to this Indenture shall

pursuant to this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistent herewith, be determined by the officers executing
such Security or Coupon as evidenced by their execution of such Security or Coupon. If the form of Securities of any series or Coupons is established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action
shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 303 for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. If
all of the Securities of any series and Coupons established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver a record of such action at the time of issuance of each Security of
such series, but an appropriate record of such action shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.

 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Securities shall be issuable in registered form without
Coupons.

registered in the name of a Depositary or a nominee of a Depositary. This Global Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the
Indenture, and no transfer of this Security (other than a transfer of this Security as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary) may be
registered except in such limited circumstances. Every Security delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, this Global Security shall be a Global Security subject to the foregoing, except in the limited
circumstances described above. 
 Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York
corporation (“DTC”), to the Company or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC (and any payment is to be made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS
WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein. 
  

 16

 (3) that such Securities and
Coupons, if any, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company
enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity
principles. 
 If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such
Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall
not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication
of each Security of 

  

 21 








 
such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

 Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified pursuant to
Section 301. 
 No Security or Coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there
appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Except as permitted by Section 306 or 307, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all Coupons appertaining thereto then matured have been detached
and cancelled. 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 309, 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 304. Temporary Securities. 
 Pending the preparation of
definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture, in bearer form with one or more Coupons or without Coupons and with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 
 Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee and registered by the Security Registrar, upon the same conditions, and with like effect, as a definitive Security.

 If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of definitive Securities of such 

  

 22 








 
series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of
such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons
appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and
tenor; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security, except as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided further that a definitive Bearer Security shall be
delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in or pursuant to this Indenture. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor. 
 Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

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
of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security 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 Registered Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered Securities as herein provided. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and
tenor. 
 At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Registered Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate 

  

 23 








 
and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, with respect to Securities of any series, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of such series may be exchanged
for Registered Securities of such series containing identical terms, denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture and in the same aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any office or
agency in a Place of Payment for such series, with all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured Coupon or Coupons or matured Coupon or
Coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company and the Trustee in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon or Coupons, or the surrender of
such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer
Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided
in Section 1002, interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in case a Bearer Security is surrendered at any such office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series and like tenor after the close of business at such office or agency on
(i) any Regular Record Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon
relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date of payment, as the case may be (or, if such Coupon is so surrendered with such Bearer Security, such Coupon shall be returned to the Person so surrendering the Bearer Security), and interest or
Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall be payable only
to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to
Securities of any series, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of such series may be exchanged for Bearer Securities upon such 

  

 24 








 
terms and conditions as may be provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to such series. 
 Whenever any Securities are surrendered for exchange as contemplated by the immediately preceding two paragraphs, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Securities issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be
duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer. 
 The Company shall not be required (1) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (2) to register the transfer or
exchange of any Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part or (3) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except, to the extent
provided with respect to such Bearer Security, that such Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of like tenor and the same series, provided that such Registered Security shall be immediately surrendered for redemption with
written instructions for payment consistent with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global
Security may be transferred to, or registered or exchanged for Securities registered in the name of, any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee thereof, and no such transfer may be 

  

 25 








 
registered, unless (1) such Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security
or (B) ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (2) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so transferable, registrable and exchangeable, and such
transfers shall be registrable, (3) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities evidenced by such Global Security or (4) there shall exist such other circumstances, if any, as have been
specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, a Global Security to which the restriction set forth in the preceding sentence shall have ceased to apply may be transferred only
to, and may be registered and exchanged for Securities registered only in the name or names of, such Person or Persons as the Depositary for such Global Security shall have directed and no transfer thereof other than such a transfer may be
registered. 
 Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security to which the
restriction set forth in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph shall apply, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated, registered and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a
Global Security. 
 Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 
 If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated Coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new
Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons appertaining thereto corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security. 

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or Coupon and
(ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or Coupon has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains with all appurtenant
Coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen, a new Security of the same series 

  

 26 








 
and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons, if any,
appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains. 
 In case any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security or Coupon. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may
be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any
series, with any Coupons appertaining thereto, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains, shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series and any Coupons duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and
shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or Coupons. 
 Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
 Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Registered 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 Registered
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, in case
a Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security after the close of business (at an office or agency at a Place of Payment for such Security) on any Regular Record Date therefor and before the opening of business (at such
office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date therefor, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest 

  

 27 








 
Payment Date and interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer
Security, but shall be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 Any interest on any
Registered Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant
Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below: 
 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (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 Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be
paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause
notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities of such series 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 so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the
Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to 

  

 28 








 
the following Clause (2). In case a Bearer Security is surrendered at the office or agency at a Place of Payment for such Security in exchange for a
Registered Security after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security
shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest shall not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but
shall be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 (2) 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 such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if,
after notice is given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of 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 308. Persons Deemed Owners. 
 Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person
in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (except as contemplated by Section 301(3) and subject to Section 307) any interest
on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security or the bearer of any Coupon as the absolute owner of
such Security or Coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Security or Coupon shall be overdue, and neither the Company, nor the
Trustee or any 

  

 29 








 
agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 Section 309.
Cancellation. 
 All Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund
payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the
Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities and Coupons held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order. 
 Section 310. Computation of Interest. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series,
interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 ARTICLE FOUR 

 Satisfaction and Discharge 
 Section 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 
 This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to
any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture,
when 

  

 30 








 
(1) either 
 (A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and
delivered (other than (i) Coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities surrendered in exchange for Registered Securities of such series and maturing after such exchange whose surrender is not required or has been waived as provided in
Section 305, (ii) Securities or Coupons which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, (iii) Coupons appertaining to Securities called for redemption and maturing after
the relevant Redemption Date whose surrender has been waived as provided in this Indenture, and (iv) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid
to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (B) all such
Securities and, in the case of (i) and (ii) below, any Coupons appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 
 (i) have become due and payable, or 
 (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 
 (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name,
and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and
any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
 (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and 
  

 31 








 (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 
 Notwithstanding the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and, if money shall have been deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive. 
 Section 402. Application of Trust Money. 
 Subject to provisions of the
last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly
or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the
Trustee. 
 ARTICLE FIVE 
 Remedies 
 Section 501. Events of Default. 
 “Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be occasioned by the provisions of
Article Fourteen or be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): 
 (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

 (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that series at its Maturity; or 
  

 32 








 (3) default in the payment of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Security of that series; or

 (4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in
whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or
breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or 
 (5) a default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company (including a default with respect to Securities of any series other than that series) in an individual
principal amount outstanding of at least $50,000,000 or under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company in an individual
principal amount outstanding of at least $50,000,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default shall constitute a failure to pay $50,000,000 or more of the principal of such indebtedness when due and payable
after the expiration of any applicable grace period with respect thereto or which default shall have resulted in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable,
without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled, within a period of 10 Business Days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default” hereunder; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Sections 601 and 602, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such default unless either (A) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge of such default or (B) the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company, from any Holder, from the holder of any such indebtedness or from the trustee under any such mortgage, indenture or other instrument; or

  

 33 








 (6) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the
Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly
filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other
similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect
for a period of 60 consecutive days; or 
 (7) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary
case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or
consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action;
or 
 (8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 
 Upon receipt by the Trustee of any Notice of Default pursuant to this Section 501 with respect to Securities of any series, a record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for
the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such Notice of Default, which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such Notice of Default. The Holders of
Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall 

  

 34 








 
be entitled to join in such Notice of Default, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such Notice of
Default shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such
record date, such Notice of Default shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the
expiration of such 90-day period, a Notice of Default contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a Notice of Default that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event
a new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. 
 Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or
the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal
amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such
declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration
with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of
the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 
  


 35 








 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Upon receipt by the Trustee of any declaration of acceleration, or any rescission and annulment of any such declaration, pursuant to this Section 502 with respect
to Securities of any series, a record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such declaration, or rescission
and annulment, as the case may be, which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be. The Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such
record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that,
unless such declaration, or rescission an annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents)
having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date, such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in
this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a declaration of acceleration, or a rescission and annulment of any such declaration, contrary to or
different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a declaration, or rescission 

  

 36 








 
and annulment, as the case may be, that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date in respect
thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. 
 Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
 The Company covenants that if 
 (1) default is made in the payment of any
interest on any Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 
 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, 
 the Company will, upon
demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto for principal and any premium and
interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto,
such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and
the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
 Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities or any Coupons appertaining thereto), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in
order to have claims of 

  

 37 








 
the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to
make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. 
 No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to
authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or any Coupon or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize
the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a
creditors’ or other similar committee. 
 Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 
 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities or Coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Securities or Coupons or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities or Coupons in respect of which such judgment has been
recovered. 
 Section 506. Application of Money Collected. 
 Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or
interest, upon presentation of the Securities or Coupons, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; and 
  


 38 








 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities
and any Coupon 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 and Coupons for principal and any premium
and interest, respectively. 
 THIRD: To the Company or to such other person as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
 Section 507. Limitation on Suits. 
 No Holder of any Security of any
series or any Coupons appertaining thereto shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

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

 (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee
reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request in such amount as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee; 
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;

 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. 
  

 39 








 Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security or Coupon shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment
of the principal of and any premium and (except as contemplated by Section 301(3) and subject to Section 307) interest on such Security or payment of such Coupon, as the case may be, on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such
Security or Coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or
any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every
such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the
Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or Coupons in the last paragraph of
Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities or Coupons to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any
such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the 

  

 40 








 
Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 512. Control by Holders. 
 The Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee,
with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that 
 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and

 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 Upon receipt by the Trustee of any such direction with respect to Securities of any series, a record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person
be set for determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such direction, which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such direction. The Holders of Outstanding Securities of
such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such direction shall have
become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date), such
direction shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day
period, a direction contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a direction that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date in respect thereof
shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. 
 Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of 

  

 41 








 
all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default 
 (1) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series or any Coupons appertaining thereto, or 
 (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of
such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default 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 514. 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to
the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company.

 Section 515. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants
that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
  

 42 








 ARTICLE SIX 
 The Trustee 
 Section 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
 The duties, responsibilities, rights, immunities and protection of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. Prior to any Event of Default the Trustee
shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set out herein and in the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section. 
 Section 602. Notice of Defaults. 
 The Trustee shall give notice of any default known to the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series when, as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act and in the manner provided by
Section 106 hereof; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the
default is known to the Trustee. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

 Section 603. Certain Rights of Trustee. 
 Subject to the
provisions of Section 601: 
 (1) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties; 
 (2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order


  

 43 








 
and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
 (3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting
any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate; 
 (4) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by
it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
 (5) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by
this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred
by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
 (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit; and 
 (7) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform
any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. 
 Section 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 
 The recitals contained herein and in the Securities and Coupons, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the 

  

 44 








 
statements of the Company, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations
as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities or Coupons. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
 Section 605. May Hold Securities or Coupons. 
 The Trustee, any
Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities or Coupons and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise
deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 
 Section 606. Money Held in Trust. 
 Money held by the Trustee, or by any Paying Agent (other than the Company if the Company shall act as
Paying Agent), in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company.

 Section 607. Compensation and Reimbursement. 
 The
Company agrees 
 (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
 (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to
reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct; and 
 (3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the
trust or trusts hereunder or 

  

 45 








 
performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. 
 As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee
shall have a claim prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on particular Securities or any coupons.

 When the Trustee renders services or incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 501(6) or 501(7) hereof, the
compensation for services and expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law or law applicable to creditors’ rights to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
 Section 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 
 If the Trustee
has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture
Act and this Indenture and the Company shall take prompt action to have a successor Trustee appointed in the manner provided herein. 
 Section 609.
Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
 There shall at all times be one or more Trustees hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, at
least one of which shall be a Person that (i) is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such, and (ii) has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall be a member of
a bank holding company group, such bank holding company group shall have combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and the Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article. 
 Section 610. Resignation and Removal; 
 Appointment of Successor. 
 No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to
this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611. 
  

 46 








 The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof
to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 The Trustee may be removed at
any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 
 If at any time: 
 (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608
after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 
 (2) the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 
 (3) the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs
for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee
with respect to all securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 If the Trustee shall
resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be
only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. 
  

 47 








 If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so
appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series. 
 The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Section 611. Acceptance of Appointment by
Successor. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges,
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the
Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture 

  

 48 








 
supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or
desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary
to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co- trustees of the same trust and that each
such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee
with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 
 No successor Trustee shall
accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
 Section 612.
Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 
 Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, 

  

 49 








 
or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated,
but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor
Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. In the event any Securities shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities, in either its own name or that of
its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee. 
 Section 613. Preferential Collection 
 of Claims Against Company. 
 If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Coupons), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the
collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). 
 Section 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 
 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate
of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each
Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to
act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination 

  

 50 








 
by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent,
provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall provide notice of such appointment to the Holders of Securities of the series
with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, in the manner provided in Section 106. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled

more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of
Securities of any other series. 
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed
supplemental 

  

 57 








 
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

 58 








 ARTICLE TEN 
 Covenants 
 Section 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. 
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the
Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities or any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Any interest due on any Bearer Security or before the maturity thereof shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto for such interest as they severally mature. 
 Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series (but not Bearer Securities, except
as otherwise provided below, unless such Place of Payment is located outside the United States) may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company shall maintain, subject to any laws or regulations
applicable thereto, an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series which is located outside the United States where Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented and surrendered for payment. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with
the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented and
surrendered for payment at the place specified for the purpose with respect to such Securities as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands. 
 Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, no payment of principal, premium or interest with respect to Bearer
Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an 

  

 59 








 
account maintained with a bank located in the United States; provided, however, if amounts owing with respect to any Bearer Securities shall be payable in
United States Dollars, payment of principal of and any premium or interest on any such Security may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or any office or agency designated by the Company in the United States, but only if payment of
the full amount of such principal, premium or interest at all offices outside the United States maintained for such purpose by the Company in accordance with the Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar
restrictions. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be
presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or
agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 Section 1003. Money for Securities 
 Payments to Be Held
in Trust. 
 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of
the principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due until
such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series,
deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to
act. 
 The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply 

  

 60 








 
with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, and upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for
payment in respect of the Securities of that series. 
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such
sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 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 or any premium or interest on any
Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request (including interest income accrued on said funds to which the Company
is otherwise entitled), or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, 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, shall thereupon cease. 
 Section 1004. Statement by Officers as to Default. 
 The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the
end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) 

  

 61 








 
and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 
 Section 1005. Existence. 
 Subject to Article Eight, the Company will
do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise
if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

 Redemption of Securities 
 Section 1101. Applicability of Article.

 Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of
less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the
principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the
terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 
 Section 1103. Selection by Trustee of 
 Securities to Be Redeemed. 
 If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed), the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem
fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Registered Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Registered
Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Registered Securities of that series. If less than all of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed, the particular
Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding 

  

 63 








 
Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption,
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the
redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 Section 1104. Notice of Redemption. 
 Notice of redemption shall be
given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed. 
 All notices of redemption shall state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date, 
 (2) the Redemption Price, 
 (3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed, 
 (4) that on
the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, 
 (5) the place or places where such Securities, together (in the case of Bearer Securities) with all Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption
Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, 
 (6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, 
 (7) if applicable, the conversion price and the date on which the right to convert the Securities to be redeemed will terminate, 
  

 64 








 (8) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption
must be accompanied by all Coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for redemption or the amount of any such missing Coupon or Coupons will be deducted from the Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company, the
Trustee and any Paying Agent is furnished, 
 (9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any Registered Securities of such series are not
being redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to redemption on the Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on which such exchanges
may be made, and 
 (10) the CUSIP numbers of the Securities to be redeemed. 
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall
be irrevocable. 
 Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 On or before 10:00 a.m. New York time on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in
Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 
 Notice of
redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the
payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the Coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities to be redeemed, except as provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any
such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued
interest on Registered Securities to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified 

  

 65 








 
as contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of
such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307 and provided, further, that installments of interest on
Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of Coupons for such interest at an office or agency located outside of the United States except as otherwise provided
in Section 1002. 
 If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the Redemption
Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be
furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of
which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that any interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of
those Coupons at an office or agency for such Security located outside of the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002. 
 If any
Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 
 Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part. 
 Any Registered Security
which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Registered Security without service charge, a new Registered
Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so
surrendered.

any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities have not been previously so
credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be
reduced accordingly.

 Upon the Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 1301 to have this
Section 1302 applied to the Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto of any Defeasible Series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series
and any Coupons appertaining thereto as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company
shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto and to have satisfied all its other obligations under the Securities of such series and
any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture insofar as the Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the 

  

 68 








 
rights of Holders of Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and
as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto when payments are due, (2) the Company’s obligations with
respect to the Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article Thirteen.
Subject to compliance with this Article Thirteen, the Company may exercise its option provided in Section 1301 to have this Section 1302 applied to the Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto of any Defeasible Series
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option provided in Section 1301 to have Section 1303 applied to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto. 
 Section 1303. Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise
of the option provided in Section 1301 to have this Section 1303 applied to the Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto of any Defeasible Series, (i) the Company shall be released from its obligations under Section
1005 and any other covenants specified in or pursuant to this Indenture, and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 501(4) (with respect to Section 1005 and any other covenants specified in or pursuant to this Indenture), 501(5)
and 501(8) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set
forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 501(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any
such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby. 
 Section 1304. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 The
following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 1302 or Section 1303 to the Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto of any Defeasible Series: 
  

 69 








 (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee that
satisfies the requirements contemplated by Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as
security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations that through the scheduled payment
of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and
discharge, the principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto on the respective Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities of such series and
any Coupons appertaining thereto. As used herein, “U.S. Government Obligation” means (x) any security that is (i) a direct obligation of the United States of America for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the
United States of America is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and
credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and (y) any depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation specified in Clause (x) and held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific
payment of principal of or interest on any such U.S. Government Obligation, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any
amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal or interest evidenced by such depositary receipt. 
 (2) In the case of an election under Section 1302, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the


  

 70 








 
Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date first set forth hereinabove, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law,
in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to the Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same
manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 
 (3) In the case of an election under
Section 1303, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to the Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner
and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur. 
 (4) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Securities of such series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will not be delisted as a result of such deposit. 
 (5) No Event of Default or event that (after notice or lapse of time or both) would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any Event of Default
or any such event specified in Sections 501(6) and (7), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day). 
 (6) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all
Securities are in default within the meaning of the such Act). 
 (7) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or
constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 
  

 71 








 (8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
 (9) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance
shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless such trust shall be qualified under such Act or exempt from regulation
thereunder. 
 Section 1305. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 1306, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of the
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto of any Defeasible Series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture,
to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto, of all sums due
and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and interest
received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge that by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto. 
 Anything in this Article Thirteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided
in Section 1304 with respect to Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto of any Defeasible Series that, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then 

  

 72 








 
be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Securities of such series and any Coupons
appertaining thereto. 
 Section 1306. Reinstatement. 
 If
the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article Thirteen with respect to the Securities of any series and any Coupons appertaining thereto 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 and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Thirteen with respect to Securities of such series or any Coupons appertaining thereto until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to
Section 1305 with respect to Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto in accordance with this Article Thirteen; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any
Security of such series or any Coupons appertaining thereto following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto to receive
such payment from the money so held in trust. 
 ARTICLE FOURTEEN

 Section 1401. Purpose for Which Meetings May be Called.

10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of the Holders of Securities of any series for any purpose specified in Section 1401, by written request setting forth in
reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have made the first publication of the notice of such meeting within 21 days after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the
meeting to be held as provided herein, then the Company or the Holders of the Securities of such series in the amount above specified, as the case may be, may determine the time and the place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or, if
Securities of such series are to be issued as Bearer Securities, in London for such meeting and may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in subsection (a) of this Section. 
 Section 1403. Persons Entitled to Vote at Meetings. 
 To be entitled to
vote at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, a Person shall be (1) a Holder of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series, or (2) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for a Holder or Holders of one
or more Outstanding Securities of such series by such Holder or Holders. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and

 Section 1404. Quorum;
Action. 
 The Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of
Holders of Securities of such series. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes after the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities of such series, be dissolved. In any other case
the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a 

  

 74 








 
quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of

date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. 
 Except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution presented to a meeting or
adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, provided, however, that, except as
limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a
specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by the affirmative
vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series. 
 Any resolution passed or decision taken
at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the Holders of Securities of such series and the Coupons appertaining thereto, whether or not present or represented at the
meeting. 
 Section 1405. Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of
Securities of such series in regard to proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates
and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meetings as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the
manner specified in Section 104 or by having the signature of the person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any trust company, bank or banker authorized by Section 104 to certify to the holding of Bearer Securities. Such
regulations may provide that written instruments 

  

 75 








 
appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or other proof. 
 (b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called the Company or by Holders of
Securities as provided in Section 1402(b), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent
secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting. 
 (c) At any meeting each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that no
vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a
Security of such series or proxy. 
 (d) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 1402 at which a quorum is
present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

 Section 1406. Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings. 
 The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by
proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting
for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of
Holders of Securities of any series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more
persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1402 and, if applicable, Section 1404. Each 

  

 76 








 
copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the
Company, and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated. 
 This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together
constitute one and the same instrument.
