		Section 2.02	Form of Securities and Trustee’s Certificate.



 


The Securities of any
series and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Securities shall be substantially of the tenor
and purport as set forth in one or more indentures supplemental hereto or as provided in a Board Resolution and as set forth in
an Officers’ Certificate. The Securities may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and
such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent
with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant
thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which Securities of that series may be listed, or to conform to
usage.


 


		Section 2.03	Denominations: Provisions for Payment.



 


The Securities shall
be issuable as registered Securities and in the denominations of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof,
subject to Section 2.01(10). The Securities of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rates specified
or provided for with respect to that series. Except as contemplated by Section 2.01(17), the principal of and the interest on the
Securities of any series, as well as any premium thereon in case of redemption thereof prior to maturity, shall be payable in the
coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time is legal tender for public and private debt, at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York; provided,
however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication by the
Trustee. Except as contemplated by Section 2.01(4), interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
composed of twelve 30-day months. Except as contemplated by Section 2.01(5), the interest installment on any Security that is payable,
and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of that series shall be paid to the Person
in whose name said Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record
date for such interest installment. In the event that any Security of a particular series or portion thereof is called for redemption
and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest
Payment Date, interest on such Security will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Security as provided in Section 3.03.
Any interest on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for
Securities of the same series (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered
holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having been such holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the
Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below:


 


(1)    The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,
which shall be fixed in the following manner: the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or
shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when
deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon
the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 nor less
than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice
of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the
expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor
to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Securityholder at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register
(as hereinafter defined), not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the special record date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons
in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such special record date.


 




    	8



    	 



    

  


(2)    The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Securities 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 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. Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution or one or more indentures supplemental hereto
establishing the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the term “regular record date”
as used in this Section with respect to a series of Securities with respect to any Interest Payment Date for such series shall
mean either the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such
series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of a month, or the last day
of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section
2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date is a Business
Day. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security of a series delivered under this Indenture upon transfer
of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security of such series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and
to accrue, that were carried by such other Security.


 


		Section 2.04	Execution and Authentication.



 


The Securities shall
be signed on behalf of the Company by its President, or one of its Vice Presidents, or its Treasurer, or one of its Assistant Treasurers,
under its corporate seal attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. Signatures may be in the form of a manual
or facsimile signature. The Company may use the facsimile signature of any Person who shall have been a President or Vice President
thereof, or of any Person who shall have been the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary thereof,
notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered or disposed of such Person shall
have ceased to be the President or a Vice President, or the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary,
of the Company. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile of such seal and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted
or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. The Securities may contain such notations, legends or endorsements required by law,
stock exchange rule or usage. A Security shall not be valid until authenticated manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee,
or by an Authenticating Agent. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. At any time and from time to time after
the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee
for authentication, together with a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, signed
by its President or any Vice President and its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, and the Trustee in accordance with such written
order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall
be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the form and terms thereof have been established in conformity
with the provisions of this Indenture and that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the
Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to any Bankruptcy Law or other insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights
and to general equity principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). 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 that is not reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee.

Section 2.05Registration of
Transfer and Exchange.


 


(a)    Securities
of any series may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose in
the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by the Company, for other Securities
of such series of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section. In respect of any Securities so surrendered
for exchange, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange therefor
the Security or Securities of the same series that the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing
numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.


 


(b)    The
Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City
and State of New York, or such other location designated by the Company, a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Security
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities
and the transfers of Securities as in this Article provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the
Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of registering Securities and transfer of Securities as herein provided shall be appointed
as authorized by Board Resolution (the “Security Registrar”). Upon surrender for transfer of any Security at the office
or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office
or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series as the Security
presented for a like aggregate principal amount. All Securities presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer,
as provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) by a written instrument
or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar, duly executed by the registered holder
or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing.


 


(c)    No
service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, or issue of new Securities in case of
partial redemption of any series, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge in relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 3.03(b) and Section 9.04 not involving any transfer.
The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Securities
of the same series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange
any Securities of any series or portions thereof called for redemption. The provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to
any Global Security, subject to Section 2.11 hereof.

		Section 2.06	Temporary Securities.






 


Pending the preparation
of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities
(printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized denomination. Such temporary Securities shall be substantially in the
form of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be
appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every temporary Security of any series shall be
executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and
with like effect, as the definitive Securities of such series. Without unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will furnish
definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange
therefor (without charge to the holders), at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose in the Borough of Manhattan,
the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by the Company, and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office
or agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities
of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that definitive Securities need not be executed and furnished
until further notice from the Company. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of such series shall be entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder.


 


		Section 2.07	Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.



 


In case any temporary
or definitive Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence)
shall execute, and upon the Company’s request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security
of the same series, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security,
or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted
Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee
may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of
the Company. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses
of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed,
lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender
thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee
such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the
satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. Every
replacement Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of
the Company whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone,
and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the
same series duly issued hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions
are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to
the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

		Section 2.08	Cancellation.






 


All Securities surrendered
for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying
agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities
shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. On request
of the Company at the time of such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Securities held by the Trustee.
In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver
a certificate of disposition to the Company. If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition
shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same
are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


		Section 2.09	Benefits of Indenture.



 


Nothing in this Indenture
or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the
holders of the Securities any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant,
condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties
hereto and of the holders of the Securities.


 


		Section 2.10	Authenticating Agent.



 


So long as any of the
Securities of any series remain Outstanding there may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Securities which
the Trustee shall have the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate
Securities of such series issued upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption thereof, 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. All references in this Indenture to the authentication of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication
by an Authenticating Agent for such series. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation
that has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction
under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under
such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If at any time
any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately. Any Authenticating
Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any
time (and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination
to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating
Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating
Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.


 


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
that 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.

		Section 2.11	Global Securities






 


(a)    If
the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued as a Global Security,
then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver, a Global Security
that


 


(1) shall
represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all or a portion of the Outstanding
Securities of such series,


 


(2)    shall
be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee,


 


(3)    shall
be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and


 


(4)    shall
bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this
Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to the Depositary, another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor
Depositary or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.”


 


(b)    Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 2.05, the Global Security of a series may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner
provided in Section 2.05, only to the Depositary for such series, another nominee of the Depositary for such series, or to a successor
Depositary for such series selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.


 


(c)    If
at any time the Depositary for a series of the Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for such series or if at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange
Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company within
90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, this Section 2.11 shall
no longer be applicable to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee
will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations,
and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global
Security. In addition, the Company may at any time determine that the Securities of any series shall no longer be represented by
a Global Security and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Securities of such series. In such
event the Company will execute and subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate evidencing
such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without
coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security
of such series in exchange for such Global Security. Upon the exchange of the Global Security for such Securities in definitive
registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Securities
in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered in
such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants
or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons
in whose names such Securities are so registered.

ARTICLE III     

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND PROVISIONS


 


		Section 3.01	Redemption






 


The Company may redeem
the Securities of any series issued hereunder on and after the dates and in accordance with the terms established for such series
pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.


 


		Section 3.02	Notice of Redemption.



 


(a)    In
case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series
in accordance with the right reserved so to do, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption
to holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption
not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such holders at their last
addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed.
Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not
the registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Security of any series
designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for
the redemption of any other Securities of such series or any other series. 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 any such restriction. Each such
notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price at which Securities of that series are
to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such Securities to be redeemed will be made at the office
or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by the
Company, upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid
as specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue, that the redemption is for a sinking
fund, if such is the case, and the CUSIP number of the Securities and state that no representation is made as to the correctness
or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in the notice or printed on the Securities. If less than all the Securities of
a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Securities of that series to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify
the particular Securities to be so redeemed. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such
Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption
date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion thereof will be issued.


 


(b)    If
less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice
(unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee) in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal
amount of Securities of the series to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select in a manner that complies with the requirements,
if any, of any applicable stock exchange or which the Securities are listed and that the Trustee deems appropriate and fair in
its discretion and that may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or
any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of such Securities of a denomination larger than $1,000, the Securities
to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed, in
whole or in part. The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its President
or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Securities of a particular series
for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name of the Company
or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent as it may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be
given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with,
the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies
or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under
the provisions of this Section.

		Section 3.03	Payment Upon Redemption



 


(a) If the giving of
notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be
redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable
redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Securities or portions of
Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of
such redemption price and accrued interest with respect to any such Security or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender

The provisions of Sections
3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of such series. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess
of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking
fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may
be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities
of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.

(2)    may
apply as a credit Securities of a series that have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of
such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities,
in each case in satisfaction of all or 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.

the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment
for that series pursuant to the terms of the series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting
Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit and will, together with such Officers’ Certificate,
deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the
Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02
and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided
in Section 3.02. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the

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
the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by the Company, 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

(3)    that
it will, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon the written
request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent; and


 


(4)    that
it will perform all other duties of paying agent as set forth in this Indenture.

the Company shall act as its own paying agent with respect to any series of the Securities, it will on or before each due date
of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for
the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming
due on Securities of that series until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and
will promptly notify the Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Securities) to take such action.
Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient
to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify
the Trustee of this action or failure so to act.


 


(c)    Notwithstanding
anything in this Section to the contrary,


 


(1)    the
agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, and


 


(2)    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 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 terms and conditions 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.

Company defaults in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Securities of that series, as and when the same
shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid extension

of such Securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment
of principal or premium, if any;


 




    	19



    	 



    

 


(3)    the
Company fails to observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements with respect to that series contained in this Indenture

for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that

or certified mail, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of that
series at the time Outstanding;

other Event of Default provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to Securities of that Series.


 


(b)    In
each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable,
either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding
hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the principal
of (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately,
and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable.


 


(c)    At
any time after the principal of the Securities of that series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment
or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Company and
the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:


 


(1)    the
Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities
of that series and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Securities of that series that shall have become due

such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


(d)    In
case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to Securities of that series under this Indenture and such
proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall
have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the
Company, and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies

pursuant to any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee,
the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series, the whole amount that then
shall have been become due and payable on all such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the
case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is
enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that
series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and
the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07.

the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums
so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment
or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed
to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series,

(c)    In
case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial
proceedings affecting the Company, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in such proceedings
and take any action therein that may be permitted by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled
to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee and of the holders of Securities of such series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the Company under the

after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute
the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in

(d)    All
rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to Securities
of that series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or the production thereof at any
trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or 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 payment to the Trustee of any amounts
due under Section 7.07, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series. In case of an Event of Default
hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate
judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity
or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or
in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee
by this Indenture or by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept

of that series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder
in any such proceeding.

THIRD: To the payment
of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.


 


		Section 6.04	Limitation on Suits.



 


No holder of any Security

proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee,
or for any other remedy hereunder, unless


 




    	22



    	 



    

  


(1)    such
holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect
to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided;


 


(2)    the
holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have made written
request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder;


 


(3)    such
holder or holders shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby; and


 


(4)    the
Trustee for 90 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action,
suit or proceeding and


 


(5)    during
such 90 day period, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with the request. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of any holder of any Security
to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security, as therein provided, on the respective
due dates expressed in such Security (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to institute suit for the enforcement
of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent
of such holder and by accepting a Security hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder
of every Security of such series with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Securities
of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or
preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for
the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Securities of such series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions
of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or
in equity.

Not Waiver.



 


(a)    Except
as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall,
to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee
or the holders of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants
and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Securities.


 


(b)    No
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event
of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of
any such default or on acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this
Article or by law to the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient,
by the Trustee or by the Securityholders.

		Section 6.06	Control by Securityholders.



 


The holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.01,
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 such series; provided, however, that such direction shall
not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of Securities
of any other series at the time Outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.01. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01,
the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer
or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined
in accordance with Section 8.01, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default in
the performance of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such series and
its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, any of the Securities
of that series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Securities otherwise than by acceleration (unless such
default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has been
deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.01(c)) or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article
IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Security affected. Upon any such waiver,
the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the
holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

All parties to this
Indenture agree, and each holder of any Securities by such holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that
any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any
suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee,
to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment
of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed
in such Security or established pursuant to this Indenture.


 


ARTICLE VII     

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE


 


		Section 7.01	Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.



 


(a)    The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing of all
Events of Default with respect to the Securities of that series that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect
to the Securities of such series such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of
a series has occurred (that has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Securities of that series
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.


 


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


 




    	24



    	 



    

  


(1)    prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such
Events of Default with respect to that series that may have occurred: the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect
to the Securities of such series be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be
liable with respect to the Securities of such series except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically
set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may with respect to the Securities of such series conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions
furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions
that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine
the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirement of this Indenture;


 


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


 


(3)    the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that series; and


 


(4)    None
of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable
ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture
or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it.


 


		Section 7.02	Notice of Defaults.



 


If a Default occurs
hereunder with respect to Securities of any series and is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give
the holders of Securities of such series notice of such Default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided,
however, that in the case of any Default of the character specified in clause (3) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to Securities
of such series, no such notice to holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.


 


		Section 7.03	Certain Rights of Trustee.



 


Except as otherwise
provided in Section 7.01:


 


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


 


(b)    Any
request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an
instrument signed in the name of the Company, by the President or any Vice President and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer thereof (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein);


 




    	25



    	 



    

  


(c)    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 or suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;


 


(d)    The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order
or direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have
offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein
or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default with respect to a series of the Securities (that has not been cured or waived) to exercise with respect to Securities of
that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;


 


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


 


(f)    The
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security, or other papers or documents, unless requested
in writing so to do by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the particular
series affected thereby (determined as provided in Section 8.04); provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time
to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the
Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable
expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon
demand; and


 


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


 


		Section 7.04	Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance or
Securities.



 


(a)    The
recitals contained herein and in the Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility
for the correctness of the same.


 


(b)    The
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.


 


(c)    The
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Securities or of the proceeds of such
Securities, or for the use or application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture
or established pursuant to Section 2.01, or for the use or application of any moneys received by any paying agent other than the
Trustee.


 


		Section 7.05	May Hold Securities.



 


The Trustee or any
paying agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with
the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar.


 




    	26



    	 



    

  


		Section 7.06	Moneys Held in Trust.



 


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


 


		Section 7.07	Compensation and Reimbursement.



 


(a)    The
Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such reasonable compensation (which shall
not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), as the Company, and the
Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and
in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation
and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (and its officers,
agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence
or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises.


 


(b)    The
obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses,
disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by
a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held
in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Securities.


 


		Section 7.08	Reliance on Officer’s Certificate.



 


Except as otherwise
provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary
or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such
matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith
on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to
the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to
the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.


 


		Section 7.09	Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.



 


If the Trustee has
or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee
and the Company shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, subject to the penultimate
paragraph thereof.


  



    	27



    	 



    




 


		Section 7.10	Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.



 


There shall at all
times be a Trustee with respect to the Securities issued hereunder which shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a
corporation or other Person permitted to act as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least 100 million U.S. dollars ($100,000,000), and subject to supervision
or examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition
at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling,
controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified
in Section 7.11.


 


		Section 7.11	Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.



 


(a)    The
Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving
written notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders
of such series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series by written instrument, in duplicate,
executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy
to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after
the mailing 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 Securities of such series, or any Securityholder of that series who has been a bona fide
holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper
and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.


 


(b)    In
case at any time any one of the following shall occur:


 


(1)    the
Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.09 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder
who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or


 


(2)    the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder; or


 


(3)    the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding,
or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, 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, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument,
in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed
and one copy to the successor trustee, or, unless, in the case of a failure to comply with Section 7.09, the Trustee’s duty
to resign is stayed as provided in the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Securityholder who
has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee.
Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee.


 




    	28



    	 



    

  


(c)    The
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding may at any time remove
the Trustee with respect to such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee for such
series with the consent of the Company.


 


(d)    Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant
to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided
in Section 7.12.


 


(e)    Any
successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more series or all
of such series, and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series.


 


		Section 7.12	Acceptance of Appointment By Successor.



 


(a)    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.


 


(b)    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 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)    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, 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 that no Trustee shall be responsible
for any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; 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, such retiring
Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates
have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested
in the Trustee under this Indenture, 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, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture,
the 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.


 




    	29



    	 



    

  


(c)    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) or (b) of this Section,
as the case may be.


 


(d)    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.


 


(e)    Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession
of such trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear upon
the Security Register. If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company.


 


		Section 7.13	Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business.



 


Any corporation into
which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business
of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions
of Section 7.09 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.10, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 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.


 


		Section 7.14	Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company.



 


The Trustee shall comply
with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture
Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent included
therein.

ARTICLE VIII     

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS


 


		Section 8.01	Evidence of Action by Securityholders.



 


Whenever in this Indenture
it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular
series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking
of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage
of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by
such holders of Securities of that series in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing. If the Company shall solicit from
the Securityholders of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company
may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the determination
of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but
the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at
the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of determining whether Securityholders
of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of that series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities of that series
shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders
on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not
later than six months after the record date.


 


		Section 8.02	Proof of Execution by Securityholders.



 


Subject to the provisions
of Section 7.01, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder (such proof will not require notarization) or his
agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:


 


(a)    The
fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.


 


(b)    The
ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar
thereof.


 


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


 


		Section 8.03	Who May be Deemed Owners.



 


Prior to the due presentment
for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and
treat the Person in whose name such Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Security
(whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other
than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
(subject to Section 2.03) interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any
paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


		Section 8.04	Certain Securities Owned by Company Disregarded.



 


In determining whether
the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities of a particular series have concurred in any direction, consent
of waiver under this Indenture, the Securities of that series that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities
of that series or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with the Company or
any other obligor on the Securities of that series shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any
such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction,
consent or waiver, only Securities of such series that the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The Securities
so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall
establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee
is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company
or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel
shall be full protection to the Trustee.


 




    	31



    	 



    

  


		Section 8.05	Actions Binding on Future Securityholders.



 


At any time prior to
(but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of
the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in
connection with such action, any holder of a Security of that series that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities
the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as
provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the
holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Security,
and of any Security issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether
or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action
shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Securities of that series.


 


ARTICLE IX     

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES


 


		Section 9.01	Supplemental Indentures Without the Consent of Securityholders.



 


In addition to any
supplemental indenture otherwise authorized by this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time

then in effect), without the consent of the Securityholders, for one or more of the following purposes:


 


(1)    to

series of Securities, stating that such covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions are expressly being included solely for
the benefit of such series), to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and the continuance, of a default in any such additional
covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon
the Company;


 


(5)    to
add to, delete from, or revise the conditions, limitations, and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms, or purposes of issue,
authentication, and delivery of Securities (prior to the issuance thereof), as herein set forth;


 


(6)    to
make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder in any material respect;


 


(7)    to
provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of the Securities of any series as provided in Section
2.01, to establish the form of any certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or any series
of Securities, or to add to the rights of the holders of any series of Securities;


 




    	32



    	 



    

  


(8)    to
evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or
more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.12; or


 


(9)    to
comply with any requirements of the Commission or any successor in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the
Trust Indenture Act.


 


The Trustee is hereby
authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and to make any further appropriate agreements
and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture
that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.


 


Any supplemental indenture
authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the holders
of any of the Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02.


 


		Section 9.02	Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Securityholders.



 


With the consent (evidenced
as provided in Section 8.01) of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each
series affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures at the time Outstanding, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution,
and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform
to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner not
covered by Section 9.01 the rights of the holders of the Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that
no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby:


 


(1)    extend
the maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount
thereof, or reduce the rate of interest or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the
redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or any other Security which would
be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.01 or change the coin or currency
in which any Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement
of any such payment on or after the maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date), or


 


(2)    reduce
the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose holders is required for any
such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose holders is required for any waiver of certain defaults hereunder and their
consequences provided for in this Indenture, or


 


(3)    modify
any of the provisions of this Section or Section 6.06 relating to waivers of default, except to increase any such percentage or
to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each
Outstanding Security affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any holder
with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion
of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 7.12 and 9.01(8).

A supplemental indenture
which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the
benefit of one or 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 the consent of the Securityholders of any series affected thereby
under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
shall approve the substance thereof.


 


		Section 9.03	Effect of Supplemental Indentures.



 


Upon the execution
of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, this Indenture shall, with respect
to such series, be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of Securities of the series
affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications
and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms
and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.


 


		Section 9.04	Securities Affected by Supplemental Indentures.



 


Securities of any series,
affected by a supplemental indenture, authenticated and delivered after the execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to
the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, may bear a notation in form approved by the Company, provided such form meets
the requirements of any exchange upon which such series may be listed, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture.
If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of that series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors
of the Company, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company,
authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of that series then Outstanding.


 


		Section 9.05	Execution of Supplemental Indentures.



 


Upon the request of
the Company, accompanied by its Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing
with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join
with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not
be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may receive an
Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to
this Article is authorized or permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this Article and that it is proper for the Trustee under
the provisions of this Article to join in the execution thereof; provided, however, that such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion
of Counsel need not be provided in connection with the execution of a supplemental indenture that establishes the terms of a series
of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.


 


Promptly after the
execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee
shall transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental
indenture, to the Securityholders of all series affected thereby as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register.
Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity
of any such supplemental indenture.

SUCCESSOR ENTITY


 


		Section 10.01	Company May Consolidate, Etc.



 


Except as provided
pursuant to Section 2.01 pursuant to a Board Resolution, and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, or established in one
or more indentures supplemental to this Indenture, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent
any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company) or successive
consolidations or mergers in which the Company or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any
sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of the property of the Company or its successor or successors as an entirety, or
substantially as an entirety, to any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company or its successor or successors) authorized
to acquire and operate the same; provided, however, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that, upon any such consolidation or
merger (in each case, if the Company is not the survivor of such transaction), sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition,
(a) the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all of the Securities of all series
in accordance with the terms of each series, according to their tenor and the due and punctual performance and observance of all
the covenants and conditions of this Indenture or established with respect to each series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01
to be kept or performed by the Company shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture (which shall conform to the provisions
of the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect) satisfactory in form to the Trustee executed and delivered to the Trustee by the
entity formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or by the entity which shall have acquired
such property and (b) in the event that the Securities of any series then Outstanding are convertible into or exchangeable for
shares of common stock or other securities of the Company, such entity shall, by such supplemental indenture, make provision so
that the Securityholders of Securities of that series shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion or exchange of such
Securities the number of securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of common stock or other securities of
the Company deliverable upon conversion or exchange of those Securities would have been entitled had such conversion or exchange
occurred immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition.


 


		Section 10.02	Successor Entity Substituted.



 


(a)    In
case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition and upon the assumption by the successor
entity by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the obligations
set forth under Section 10.01 on all of the Securities of all series Outstanding and the due and punctual performance of all of
the covenants and conditions of this Indenture or established with respect to each series of the Securities pursuant to Section
2.01 to be performed by the Company, such successor entity shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect
as if it had been named as the Company herein, and thereupon the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and
covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.


 


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


 


(c)    Nothing
contained in this Article shall require any action by the Company in the case of a consolidation or merger of any Person into the
Company where the Company is the survivor of such transaction, or the acquisition by the Company, by purchase or otherwise, of
all or any part of the property of any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company).

The Trustee, subject to the provisions
of Section 7.01, may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance,
transfer or other disposition, and any such assumption, comply with the provisions of this Article.


 


ARTICLE XI     

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE


 


		Section 11.01	Satisfaction and Discharge.



 


This Indenture will
be discharged and will cease to be of further effect with respect to a series of Securities (except as to any surviving rights
of registration of transfer or exchange of such series 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 with respect to such
series, when:


 


(1)    either
(A) all Securities of that series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) any Securities that shall have been destroyed,
lost or stolen and that shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money
or noncallable Governmental Obligations have 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 11.05) have been delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation; or (B) all Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become
due and payable, or (ii) will by their terms become due and payable 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, and the Company shall deposit or
cause to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose (x) moneys in an amount, or (y) noncallable Governmental
Obligations the scheduled principal of and interest on which in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due
date of any payment, money in an amount, or (z) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the case of (y) or (z), 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, at maturity or upon redemption, all Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, including principal (and premium, if any) and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity or date fixed
for redemption, as the case may be;


 


(2)    the
Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder with respect to such series by the Company; and


 


(3)    the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all the conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities
have been complied with.


 


Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture with respect to a series of Securities, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 7.07 and, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (y) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under
Sections 11.03 and 11.05 shall survive.


 






    	36



    	 



    

  


		Section 11.02	Defeasance.



  


The Company may, at
its option and at any time (including notwithstanding the exercise by the Company of a Covenant Defeasance (as defined herein)),
elect to have its obligations discharged with respect to a series of the Securities (“Legal Defeasance”). Such Legal
Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such series
of Securities, except for (a) the rights of holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on the Securities when such payments are due solely from the trust fund described in this Section,


 


(b) the Company’s
obligations with respect to such series of Securities concerning issuing temporary Securities, registration of transfer or exchange
of such series of Securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities of such series and the maintenance of an office or
agency for payments, (c) the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Company’s obligations in
connection therewith and (d) the Legal Defeasance provisions of this Indenture. In addition, the Company may, at its option and
at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company released with respect to covenants provided with respect to such series
of Securities under Section 2.01(15), 9.01(4) and 9.01(7) of this Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter
any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such series of
Securities. In the event of Covenant Defeasance, those events described under Section 6.01(a) with respect to the foregoing covenants
will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to such series of Securities.


 


In order to exercise
either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:


 


(1)    the
Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of such series, (A) moneys in an amount,
or (B) noncallable Governmental Obligations the scheduled principal of and interest on which in accordance with their terms will
provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the case
of (B) or (C), 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, at maturity or upon redemption, the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest on such series of Securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case
may be;


 


(2)    in
the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that (A) the Company
has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Indenture,
there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion
of Counsel shall confirm that, the holders of such series of Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;


 


(3)    in
the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the holders
of such series of Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant
Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;


 


(4)    no
Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of
such deposit or insofar as Events of Default under
clauses (4) and (5) of Section 6.01(a) are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;


 




    	37



    	 



    

   


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


 


(6)    if
such series of Securities are to be redeemed prior to final maturity (other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous
payments), notice of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to
the Trustee shall have been made.


 


		Section 11.03	Deposited Moneys to be Held in Trust.



 


All moneys or Governmental
Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 11.01 or 11.02 shall be held in trust and shall be available for payment
as due, either directly or through any paying agent (including the Company acting as its own paying agent), to the holders of the
particular series of Securities for the payment or redemption of which such moneys or Governmental Obligations have been deposited
with the Trustee.


 


		Section 11.04	Payment of Moneys Held by Paying Agents.



 


In connection with
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture all moneys or Governmental Obligations then held by any paying agent under the
provisions of this Indenture shall, upon demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee and thereupon such paying agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such moneys or Governmental Obligations.


 


		Section 11.05	Repayment to Company.



 


Any moneys or Governmental
Obligations deposited with any paying agent or the Trustee, or then held by the Company, in trust for payment of principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of a particular series that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the holders
of such Securities for at least two years after the date upon which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such
Securities shall have respectively become due and payable, or such other shorter period set forth in applicable escheat or abandoned
property law, shall be repaid to the Company on May 31 of each year or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such
trust; and thereupon the paying agent and the Trustee shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys
or Governmental Obligations, and the holder of any of the Securities entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured
general creditor, look only to the Company for the payment thereof as an unsecured general creditor, unless an abandoned property
law designates another Person.


 


		Section 11.06	Reinstatement



 


If the Trustee (or
other qualifying trustee or any paying agent appointed as provided herein) is unable to apply any moneys or Government Obligations
in accordance with this Article 11 by reason of any legal proceeding or 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 shall be revived and reinstated as though no such deposit had occurred, until such time as the Trustee
(or other qualifying trustee or paying agent) is permitted to apply all such moneys and Government Obligations in accordance with
this Article 11; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of the principal of or premium,
if any, or interest if any, on the Securities of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations as aforesaid, the Company
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Securityholders to receive such payment from the funds held by the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee or paying agent).

corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty

of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities or implied therefrom, are hereby
expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issuance of
such Securities.
