to different series of Securities are trustees under this Indenture, nothing herein shall constitute the Trustees co-trustees of
the same trust, and each Trustee shall be the trustee of a trust separate and apart from any trust administered by any other Trustee
with respect to a different series of Securities.


 


“U.S. Government
Obligations” means (i) securities that are direct obligations of the United States of America, the payment of which is
unconditionally Guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America and (ii) securities that are obligations
of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, the payment
of which is unconditionally Guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, and also includes depository
receipts issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any of the securities described in the preceding clauses
(i) and (ii), and any payment of interest or principal payable under any of the securities described in the preceding clauses (i)
and (ii) that is held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depository receipt, provided that (except as
required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository
receipt, or from any amount received by the custodian in respect of such securities, or from any specific payment of interest or
principal payable under the securities evidenced by such depository receipt.

“Voting Stock”,
as applied to the stock of any corporation, means stock of any class or classes (however designated), the outstanding shares of
which have, by the terms thereof, ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the members of the board of directors (or other
governing body) of such corporation, other than stock having such power only by reason of the happening of a contingency.


 


Section 1.02        Officers’
Certificates and Opinions. Every Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, and other certificate or opinion to
be delivered to the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to any action to be taken by the Trustee (except for the Officers’
Certificate required by Section 10.04) shall include the following:


 


(a)          a
statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read all covenants and conditions of this Indenture relating
to such proposed action, including the definitions herein relating thereto;


 


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


 


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


 


(d)          a
statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.


 


Section 1.03         Form
of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by
an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only
one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion
with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to the other matters, and any such Person may certify or give
an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.


 


Any certificate or opinion
of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations
by, legal counsel, unless such officer knows that any such certificate, opinion, or representation is erroneous. Any opinion of
counsel for the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations
by, an officer or officers of the Company, unless such counsel knows that any such certificate, opinion, or representation is erroneous.

Where any Person is required
to make, give, or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions, or other instruments
under this Indenture, such instruments may, but need not, be consolidated and form a single instrument.


 


Section 1.04         Acts
of Securityholders.


 


(a)          Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders
in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and (if expressly required by the applicable terms of
this Indenture) to the Company. If any Securities are denominated in coin or currency other than that of the United States, then
for the purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have taken any action as herein
described, the principal amount of such Securities shall be deemed to be that amount of United States dollars that could be obtained
for such principal amount on the basis of the spot rate of exchange into United States dollars for the currency in which such Securities
are denominated (as evidenced to the Trustee by a certificate provided by a financial institution, selected by the Company, that
maintains an active trade in the currency in question, acting as conversion agent) as of the date the taking of such action by
the Holders of such requisite principal amount is evidenced to the Trustee as provided in the immediately preceding sentence. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act”
of the Securityholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing
any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee
and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.


 


(b)          The
fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness to such
execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying
that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by an
officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit
shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing,
or the authority of the person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.


 


(c)          The
ownership of Securities shall for all purposes be determined by reference to the Security Register, as such register shall exist
as of the applicable date.


 




    	9



    	 



    

 


(d)          If
the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action,
the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix in advance a Record Date for the determination of Holders 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 Record Date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
may be given before or after such Record Date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such Record Date shall
be deemed to be Holders for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Securities Outstanding have
authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and
for that purpose the Securities Outstanding shall be computed as of such Record Date; provided that no such authorization,
agreement or consent by the Holders on such Record Date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to
the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after such Record Date.


 


(e)          Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind each
subsequent Holder of such Security, and each Holder of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, with respect to anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance upon
such action, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.


 


Section 1.05         Notices,
etc., to Trustee and Company. Any request, order, authorization, direction, consent, waiver, or other action to be taken
by the Trustee, the Company, or the Securityholders hereunder (including any Authentication Order), and any notice to be given
to the Trustee or the Company with respect to any action taken or to be taken by the Trustee, the Company, or the Securityholders
hereunder, shall be sufficient if made in writing and


 


(a)          (if
to be furnished or delivered to or filed with the Trustee by the Company or any Securityholder) delivered to the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office, Attention: __________________, or


 


(b)          (if
to be furnished or delivered to the Company by the Trustee or any Securityholder, and except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(d)
and, in the case of a request for repayment, except as specified in the Security carrying the right to repayment) mailed to the
Company, first-class postage prepaid, at its principal office (as specified in the first paragraph of this instrument), Attention:
Chief Financial Officer, or at any other address hereafter furnished in writing by the Company to the Trustee.


 


Section 1.06         Notice
To Securityholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture or any Security provides for notice to Securityholders of any event,
such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise expressly provided herein or in such Security) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Securityholder affected by such event, at his or her address as it appears in the Security
Register as of the applicable Record Date, not later than the latest date or earlier than the earliest date prescribed by this
Indenture or such Security for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Securityholders is given by mail, neither
the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Securityholder shall affect the sufficiency
of such notice with respect to other Securityholders. Where this Indenture or any Security provides for notice in any manner, such
notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver
shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Securityholders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall
not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.


 




    	10



    	 



    

 


In case, by reason of the
suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise, it shall be impractical to mail notice
of any event to any Securityholder when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture or the
applicable Security, then any method of notification as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company shall be deemed to
be sufficient for the giving of such notice.


 


Section 1.07         Conflict
with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which
is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control.


 


Section 1.08         Effect
of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents hereof are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction of any provision of this Indenture.


 


Section 1.09         Successors
and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether
so expressed or not.


 


Section 1.10         Separability
Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.


 


Section 1.11         Benefits
Of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in any Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than
the parties hereto, their successors hereunder, the Authenticating Agent, the Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, and the Holders
of Securities (or such of them as may be affected thereby), any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
this Indenture.


 


Section 1.12         Governing
Law. This Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.


 


Section 1.13         Counterparts.
This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original,
but all of which shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.


 


Section 1.14         Judgment
Currency. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if
for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court with respect to the Securities of any series it is necessary to convert the
sum due in respect of the principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, payable with respect to such Securities into a currency
in which a judgment can be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange from the currency
in which payments under such Securities is payable (the “Required Currency”) into the Judgment Currency shall
be the highest bid quotation (assuming European-style quotation — i.e., Required Currency per Judgment Currency) received
by the Company from three recognized foreign exchange dealers in the City of New York for the purchase of the aggregate amount
of the judgment (as denominated in the Judgment Currency) on the Business Day preceding the date on which a final unappealable
judgment is rendered, for settlement on such payment date, and at which the applicable dealer timely commits to execute a contract,
and (b) the Company’s obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged
or satisfied by any tender, or by any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with the preceding
clause (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in
the actual receipt by the judgment creditor of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such
payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required
Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed
to be payable, and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture.

Section 1.15         Legal
Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or Maturity of any Security shall
not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities)
payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made
on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment
Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or at Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after
such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or Maturity, as the case may be.

consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of the Securities.
Any portion of the text of any Security may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face

once. Any form of Security approved by or pursuant to a Board Resolution must be acceptable as to form to the Trustee, such acceptance
to be evidenced by the Trustee’s authentication of Securities in that form or by a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer

reflect exchanges or increased to reflect the issuance of additional Securities. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to
reflect the amount (or any increase or decrease in the amount) of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made in such
manner and by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Authentication Order delivered to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 3.03 hereof.

If all of the Securities
issuable by or pursuant to any Board Resolution are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by Section 3.03 hereof at the time of issuance of each such Security, but such Officers’
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first such Security.

Board Resolution of an Authentication Order (as defined in Section 3.03 below) with respect to the first Security of such series

Unless otherwise provided
with respect to Securities of a particular series, the Securities of any series may only be issuable in registered form, without
coupons.


 


Section 3.02         Denominations
and Currency. The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations and currency as shall be provided
in the provisions of this Indenture or by or pursuant to the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture creating such series. In
the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of that series shall be issuable
only in fully registered form in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.


 


Section 3.03         Execution,
Authentication and Delivery, and Dating. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the president,
the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, any vice president, the treasurer or any assistant treasurer and attested
by the secretary or any one of its assistant secretaries, under its corporate seal. The signature of any of these officers on the
Securities may be manual or facsimile. The seal of the Company, if set forth thereon, may be in the form of a facsimile thereof
and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted, or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Typographical and other minor errors or defects
in any such reproduction of the seal or any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security that
has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.


 


Unless otherwise provided
in the form of Security for any series, all Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication.


 


Securities bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding
that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities
or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.


 


At any time and from time
to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities to the Trustee for authentication,
together with a Company Order for authentication and delivery (such Order an “Authentication Order”) with respect
to such Securities, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of such Authentication Order, in accordance with procedures acceptable
to the Trustee set forth in the Authentication Order, and subject to the provisions hereof, authenticate and deliver such Securities
to such recipients as may be specified from time to time pursuant to such Authentication Order. The material terms of such Securities
shall be determinable by reference to such Authentication Order and procedures. If provided for in such procedures, such Authentication
Order may authorize authentication and delivery of such Securities pursuant to oral instructions from the Company or its duly authorized
agent, which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. 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
the provisions of Section 6.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon:


 


(1)         an
executed supplemental indenture, if any;


 


(2)         an
Officers’ Certificate, certifying as to the authorized form or forms and terms of such Securities; and


 




    	17



    	 



    

 


(3)         an
Opinion of Counsel, stating that:


 


(a)          the
form or forms and terms of such Securities have been established by and in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; provided
that if all such Securities are not to be issued at the same time, such Opinion of Counsel may state that such terms will be
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel;
and


 


(b)          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 bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, and other laws of general applicability relating
to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity and doctrines applicable thereto
(including, but not limited to, all matters of public policy);


 


provided, however, that if all Securities
issuable by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or supplemental indenture are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not
be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to this paragraph at
or prior to the time of authentication of each such Security if such documents are delivered at or prior to the time of authentication
upon original issuance of the first such Security to be issued. After the original issuance of the first such Security to be issued,
any separate request by the Company that the Trustee authenticate such Securities for original issuance will be deemed to be a
certification by the Company that it is in compliance with all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to
the authentication and delivery of such Securities.


 


The Trustee shall not be
required to authenticate such Securities if the issue thereof will adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, or
immunities under the Securities and this Indenture.


 


If the Company shall establish
pursuant to Section 3.01 that Securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in global form, then the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall (in accordance with this Section 3.03 and the Authentication Order with respect to such series) authenticate
and deliver, one or more Securities in global form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an aggregate amount equal
to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by such one or more Securities
in global form, (ii) shall be registered, in the name of the Depositary for such Security or Securities in global form, or in the
name of a nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction,
and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially as follows: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities
in certificated form, this Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary,
or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee
to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.” Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 3.01
for a Security in global form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing
agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other applicable statute or regulation.


 




    	18



    	 



    

 


No Security shall be entitled
to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate
of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer,
and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder.


 


Section 3.04         Temporary
Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and, upon receipt
of the documents required by Sections 2.02, 3.01 and 3.03 hereof, together with an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, temporary Securities of such series that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed, or otherwise produced,
in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued in registered
form, without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions, and other variations as the officers executing
such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series for
which a temporary Security may be issued in global form, such temporary global security shall represent all of the Outstanding
Securities of such series and tenor.


 


Except in the case of temporary
Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities of any series
are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation
of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
or at such other office or agency as may be maintained by the Company in a Place of Payment pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof, for
definitive Securities of such series having identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such
series, at the Company’s own expense and without charge to the Holder; and upon surrender for cancellation of any one or
more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor
a like principal amount of definitive Securities of such series in authorized denominations containing identical terms and provisions.
Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to a temporary Security in global form, until so exchanged,
the temporary Securities of such series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Securities of such series.


 


Section 3.05         Registration,
Transfer and Exchange. With respect to the Securities of each series, the Trustee shall keep a register (herein sometimes
referred to as the “Security Register”) which shall provide for the registration of Securities of such series,
and for transfers of Securities of such series, in accordance with information to be provided to the Trustee by the Company, subject
to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe. Such register shall be in written form or in any other form capable
of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the information contained in such register
or registers shall be available for inspection at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or agency to
be maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof.


 




    	19



    	 



    

 


Upon due presentation for
registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at any other office or agency
maintained by the Company with respect to that series pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of such series
of any authorized denominations, of like aggregate principal amount, tenor, terms and Scheduled Maturity Date.


 


Any other provision of
this Section 3.05 notwithstanding, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Securities represented
thereby, in definitive form, a Security in global form representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred
except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary, or by a nominee of such Depositary to such
Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary, or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such
series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.


 


At the option of the Holder,
Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of such series of any authorized denominations, of like aggregate
principal amount, tenor, terms and Scheduled Maturity Date, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or
agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, the Securities which the Securityholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.


 


If at any time the Depositary
for the Securities of a series represented by one or more Securities in global form notifies the Company that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series, or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of such
series shall no longer be eligible under Section 3.03 hereof, the Company, by Company Order, shall appoint a successor Depositary
with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by
the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company’s election
pursuant to Section 3.01 that such Securities be represented by one or more Securities in global form shall no longer be effective
with respect to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication
Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of
such series in definitive form, in authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount, and of like terms and tenor, equal
to the principal amount of the Security or Securities in global form representing such series, in exchange for such Security or
Securities in global form.


 


The Company may at any
time and in its sole discretion and subject to the procedures of the Depositary determine that individual Securities of any series
issued in global form shall no longer be represented by such Security or Securities in global form. In such event the Company will
execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities
of such series and of the same terms and tenor, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form, in
authorized denominations, and in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Security or Securities in global
form representing such series in exchange for such Security or Securities in global form.


 




    	20



    	 



    

 


If specified by the Company
pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a series of Securities issued in global form, the Depositary for such series of Securities
may surrender a Security in global form for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series
in definitive form and of like terms and tenor on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of an Authentication Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive
Securities of such series, shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge:


 


(a)          to
each Person specified by such Depositary, a new definitive Security or Securities of the same series and of the same tenor and
terms, in authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest
in the Security in global form; and


 


(b)          to
such Depositary, a new Security in global form in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount
of the surrendered Security in global form and the aggregate principal amount of the definitive Securities delivered to Holders
pursuant to clause (a) above.


 


Upon the exchange of a
Security in global form for Securities in definitive form, such Security in global form shall be canceled by the Trustee or an
agent of the Company or the Trustee. Securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a Security in global form pursuant to
this Section 3.05 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Security in
global form, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent
of the Company or the Trustee in writing. The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons
in whose names such Securities are so registered or to the Depositary.


 


Whenever any securities
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which
the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.


 


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


 


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


 


Unless otherwise provided
in the Security to be transferred or exchanged, no service charge shall be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange
of Securities, but the Company may (unless otherwise provided in such Security) require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 3.04, 3.06, 9.06 and 11.07 hereof not involving any transfer.


 




    	21



    	 



    

 


The Company shall not be
required to (i) issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series selected for redemption
under Section 11.03 and ending at the close of business on the date of such mailing, or (ii) register the transfer of or exchange
any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion
thereof not to be redeemed.


 


Section 3.06         Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company and
the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii) there is delivered
to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company may
in its discretion execute and upon request of the Company the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor, terms, series, Scheduled Maturity Date,
and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.


 


In case any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead
of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.


 


Upon the issuance of any
new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith.


 


Every new Security issued
pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same
series duly issued hereunder.


 


The provisions of this
Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.


 


Section 3.07         Payment
of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on any Security which is payable and is punctually paid or duly provided
for on any Interest Payment Date shall, if so provided in such Security, be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or
one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date, notwithstanding any transfer
or exchange of such Security subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date (unless such Interest Payment
Date is also the date of Maturity of such Security).


 




    	22



    	 



    

 


Any interest on any Security
which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the applicable Record Date by virtue of having
been such Holder; and, except as hereinafter provided, such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in clause (a) or clause (b) below:


 


(a)          The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names any such Securities (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,
which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each 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 be not more than 15 nor less
than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice
of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the
expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor
to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Holder of each such Security at his address as it appears in the Security Register,
not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such
Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and
shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b).


 


(b)          The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest 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.


 


Interest on Securities
of any series that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such address as
shall appear in the Securities Register for such series or by such other means as may be specified in the form of such Security.


 


Subject to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.07 and the provisions of Section 3.05 hereof, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration
of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to
accrue, which were carried by such other Security.


 


Section 3.08         Persons
Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered on the applicable Record Date(s)
as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, if any (subject to
Sections 3.05 and 3.07 hereof), and any additional amounts payable with respect to such Security, and for all other purposes whatsoever,
whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.


 




    	23



    	 



    

 


None of the Company, the
Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, the Security Registrar, or any Co-Security Registrar will have any responsibility
or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security
in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests and each
of them may act or refrain from acting without liability on any information relating to such records provided by the Depositary.


 


Section 3.09         Cancellation.
All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer, exchange, or credit against a sinking or analogous
fund shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already canceled, shall
be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be
promptly canceled by the Trustee. Acquisition of such Securities by the Company 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. No
Security shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of all canceled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures and
deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company.


 


Section 3.10         Computation
of Interest. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated in Section 3.01, interest on the Securities shall be calculated
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.


 


ARTICLE IV

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE


 


Section 4.01         Satisfaction
and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities
(except as to any surviving rights of conversion or transfer or exchange of Securities of such series expressly provided for herein
or in the form of Security for such series and obligations described as surviving below), and the Trustee, on demand of and at
the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such
series, when


 


(a)          either


 


(i)          all
Securities of that series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (A) Securities of such series which have been destroyed,
lost, or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06, and (B) Securities of such series for whose payment
money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company
or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 4.07) have been delivered to the Trustee canceled or for cancellation; or


 




    	24



    	 



    

 


(ii)         all
such Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee canceled or for cancellation


 


(A)         have
become due and payable, or


 


(B)         will,
in accordance with their Scheduled Maturity Date, become due and payable within one year, or


 


(C)         are
to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption
by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and, in any of the cases described in subparagraphs (A), (B), or
(C) above, the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust for the purpose,
(x) an amount in money sufficient, (y) U.S. Government Obligations or Equivalent Government Securities which through the payment
of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due
date of any payment, money sufficient, or (z) a combination of (x) and (y) sufficient, in the opinion with respect to (y) and (z)
of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities with respect to principal, premium, if any, and interest,
if any, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable), or to the Scheduled Maturity
Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such U.S. Government Obligations or Equivalent Government
Securities are callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, the amount of such money, U.S. Government Obligations,
and Equivalent Government Securities deposited with the Trustee must be sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness
referred to above if such issuer elects to exercise such call or redemption provisions at any time prior to the Scheduled Maturity
Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Company, but not the Trustee, shall be responsible for monitoring any such
call or redemption provision; and


 


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


 


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


 


Notwithstanding the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities, the obligations of the Company under paragraph (a) of
this Section 4.01 and its obligations to the Trustee with respect to that series under Section 6.07 shall survive, and the obligations
of the Trustee under Sections 4.05, 4.07 and 10.03 shall survive.


 




    	25



    	 



    

 


Section 4.02         Discharge
and Defeasance. The provisions of this Section and Section 4.04 (insofar as relating to this Section) shall apply to
the Securities of each series unless specifically otherwise provided in a Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto provided
pursuant to Section 3.01. In addition to discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 4.01, in the case of any series of Securities
with respect to which the exact amount described in subparagraph (a) of Section 4.04 can be determined at the time of making the
deposit referred to in such subparagraph (a), the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on
all the Securities of such a series as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 4.04
are satisfied, and the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series shall no longer be in effect
(except as to (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange of Securities of such series, (ii) substitution of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities of such series, (iii) rights of Holders of Securities of such series to receive, solely from
the trust fund described in subparagraph (a) of Section 4.04, payments of principal thereof, premium, if any, and interest, if
any, thereon upon the original stated due dates or upon the Redemption Dates therefor (but not upon acceleration), and remaining
rights of the Holders of Securities of such series to receive mandatory sinking fund payments, if any, (iv) the rights, obligations,
duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, (v) this Section 4.02, Section 4.07, Section 10.02 and Section 10.03 and (vi) the
rights of the Holders of Securities of such series as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the Trustee
payable to all or any of them) (hereinafter called “Defeasance”), and the Trustee at the cost and expense of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same.


 


Section 4.03         Covenant
Defeasance. The provisions of this Section and Section 4.04 (insofar as relating to this Section) shall apply to the
Securities of each series unless specifically otherwise provided in a Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto provided
pursuant to Section 3.01. In the case of any series of Securities with respect to which the exact amount described in subparagraph
(a) of Section 4.04 can be determined at the time of making the deposit referred to in such subparagraph (a), (i) the Company shall
be released from its obligations under any covenants specified in or pursuant to Section 3.01 as being subject to Covenant Defeasance
with respect to such series (except as to (a) rights of registration of transfer and exchange of Securities of such series and
rights under Section 4.07, Section 10.02 and Section 10.03, (b) substitution of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities
of such series, (c) rights of Holders of Securities of such series to receive, from the Company pursuant to Section 10.01, payments
of principal thereof and interest, if any, thereon upon the original stated due dates or upon the Redemption Dates therefor (but
not upon acceleration), and remaining rights of the Holders of Securities of such series to receive mandatory sinking fund payments,
if any, (d) the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (e) the rights of the Holders of Securities
of such series as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any of them),
and (ii) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 5.01(d) (with respect to any of the covenants specified in or pursuant
to Section 3.01 as being subject to Covenant Defeasance with respect to such series) shall be deemed not to be or result in a default
or an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series as provided in this Section on and
after the date the conditions set forth in Section 4.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”),
and the Trustee at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same. For this purpose,
such Covenant Defeasance means that the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition
or limitation set forth in any such covenant (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 5.01(d)), whether directly or indirectly
by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be unaffected
thereby.


 




    	26



    	 



    

 


Section 4.04         Conditions
To Defeasance Or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 4.02 or
Section 4.03 to the Outstanding Securities:


 


(a)          with
reference to Section 4.02 or Section 4.03, the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the
Trustee as funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of Securities
of such series (i) money in an amount, or (ii) U.S. Government Obligations or Equivalent Government Securities which through the
payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before
the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), sufficient, in the opinion (with respect
to (ii) and (iii)) of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal (including mandatory sinking fund payments) of, premium,
if any, and interest on, the Outstanding Securities of such series on the dates such installments of interest, premium or principal
are due, including upon redemption; provided, however, that if such U.S. Government Obligations and Equivalent Government
Securities are callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, the amount of such money, U.S. Government Obligations,
and/or Equivalent Government Securities deposited with the Trustee must be sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness
referred to above if the issuer of any such U.S. Government Obligations or Equivalent Government Securities elects to exercise
such call or redemption provisions at any time prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date or Redemption Date of such Securities, as the
case may be. The Company, but not the Trustee, shall be responsible for monitoring any such call or redemption provision;


 


(b)          in
the case of Defeasance under Section 4.02, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel based on the fact that
(x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the date
hereof, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and
such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge had
not occurred;


 


(c)          in
the case of Covenant Defeasance under Section 4.03, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that, and such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss
for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on
the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance
had not occurred;

(d)          no
Event of Default or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities
of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit, after giving effect to such deposit or, in the
case of a Defeasance under Section 4.02, no Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) or Section 5.01(f) shall have occurred,
at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit or, if longer, ending on the day following
the expiration of the longest preference period applicable to the Company in respect of such deposit (it being understood that
this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);


 


(e)          such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the TIA, assuming
all Securities of a series were in default within the meaning of the TIA;


 


(f)          such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or
instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;


 


(g)          such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless the trust is registered under such Act or exempt from registration;


 


(h)          if
the Securities of such series are to be redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity Date (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; and


 


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


 


Section 4.05         Application
of Trust Money; Excess Funds. All money and U.S. Government Obligations or Equivalent Government Securities (including
the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.04 hereof shall be held in trust and applied
by it, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and of the series of Securities in respect of which it was deposited,
to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent), as the Trustee
may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, for whose payment such
money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required
by law.


 


The Company will pay and
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Obligations
or Equivalent Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.04 hereof or the principal and interest received
in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding
Securities.


 




    	28



    	 



    

 


Anything in this Article
IV to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any
money or U.S. Governmental Obligations or Equivalent Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 4.01 or Section 4.04
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants expressed
in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 4.01 or Section 4.04,
as applicable), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent satisfaction
and discharge, Covenant Defeasance or Defeasance of the applicable series.


 


Section 4.06         Paying
Agent to Repay Moneys Held. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by any Paying
Agent of the Securities (other than the Trustee) shall, upon demand of the Company, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and
thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.


 


Section 4.07         Return
of Unclaimed Amounts. Any amounts deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent or then held by the Company,
in trust for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities and not applied but remaining
unclaimed by the Holders of such Securities for two years after the date upon which the principal of, premium, if any, or interest,
if any, on such Securities, as the case may be, shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee
on Company Request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of any of such Securities
shall thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect (until such time as such
unclaimed amounts shall escheat, if at all, under applicable law) and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect
to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Trustee or Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published
once a week for two successive weeks (in each case on any day of the week) in a newspaper printed in the English language and customarily
published at least once a day at least five days in each calendar week and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan,
in the City and State of New York, a notice that said amounts have not been so applied and that after a date named therein any
unclaimed balance of said amounts then remaining will be promptly returned to the Company.

of Default. “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means with respect to any series of Securities
any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary
or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of
any administrative or governmental body), unless such event is either inapplicable to a particular series or it is specifically
deleted or modified in the manner contemplated by Section 3.01:


 


(a)          default
in the payment of any interest on any Security of such series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default
for a period of 30 days; or


 




    	29



    	 



    

 


(b)          default
in the payment of the principal amount of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of such series as and when the same shall become
due, either at Maturity, upon redemption, by declaration, or otherwise; or


 


(c)          default
in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation when the same becomes due by the terms of the Securities
of such series and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or


 


(d)          default
in the performance or breach of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture in respect of the Securities of such
series (other than a covenant or warranty in respect of the Securities of such series a default in the performance of which or
the breach of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period
of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the
Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, a written notice specifying
such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;
or


 


(e)          the
entry of an order for relief against the Company under the Federal Bankruptcy Code by a court having jurisdiction in the premises
or a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent under any other
applicable Federal or State law, or the entry of a decree or order approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable
Federal or State law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the
Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance

(g)          any
other Event of Default provided for with respect to the Securities of such series in accordance with Section 3.01.


 


A default under any indebtedness of the Company
other than the Securities will not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture, and a default under one series of Securities
will not constitute a default under any other series of Securities. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event
of Default unless a Responsible Officer at the Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof.

Section 5.02         Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission, and Annulment. If any Event of Default described in Section 5.01 above (other than Event of
Default described in Section 5.01(e) and Section 5.01(f)) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any series, then
and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities of such series shall have already become due and payable,
either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 51% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding
hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the principal amount (or,
if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified
in the terms of that series) of all the Securities of such series and any and all accrued interest thereon to be due and payable
immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, any provision of this
Indenture or the Securities of such series to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e)
or Section 5.01(f) occurs, the principal amount (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such
portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of the Securities of such series and any and all
accrued interest thereon shall immediately become and be due and payable without any declaration or other act on the party of the
Trustee or any Holder. No declaration of acceleration by the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall constitute
a declaration of acceleration by the Trustee with respect to any other series of Securities, and no declaration of acceleration
by the Holders of at least 51% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall constitute a declaration
of acceleration or other action by any of the Holders of any other series of Securities, in each case whether or not the Event
of Default on which such declaration is based shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to more than one series of Securities,
and whether or not any Holders of the Securities of any such affected series shall also be Holders of Securities of any other such
affected series.


 


At any time after such
a declaration of acceleration has been made with respect to the Securities of any series and before a judgment or decree for payment
of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of not less than a majority
of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee,
may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to such series of Securities,
other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Securities of such series which have become due solely by such acceleration,
have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13, if such cure or waiver does not conflict with any judgment or decree set
forth in Section 5.01(e) and Section 5.01(f) and if all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel have been paid.


 


No such rescission shall
affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


Section 5.03         Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if:


 


(a)          default
is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security of any series when such interest becomes due and payable,
or


 




    	31



    	 



    

 


(b)          default
is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, or


 


(c)          default
is made in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation when the same becomes due by the terms of the Securities
of any series, and


 


(d)          any
such default continues for any period of grace provided in relation to such default pursuant to Section 5.01,


 


then, with respect to the Securities of such
series, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holder of any such Security (or the Holders
of any such series in the case of clause (c) above), the whole amount then due and payable on any such Security (or on the Securities
of any such series in the case of clause (c) above) for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, with interest (to
the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and upon
overdue installments of interest, if any, at such rate or rates as may be prescribed therefor by the terms of any such Security
(or of Securities of any such series in the case of clause (c) above); and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07.


 


If the Company fails to
pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial
proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and
may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series and collect the money adjudged
or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities,
wherever situated.


 


If an Event of Default
with respect to any series of Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce
its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall
deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in
this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.


 


Section 5.04         Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition, or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities
or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal
of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether
the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered,
by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise,


 




    	32



    	 



    

 


(a)          to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or, with respect to Original Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities), premium, if any, and interest, if any, owing and unpaid
in respect of the Securities, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary and advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07) and of the Securityholders allowed in such judicial
proceedings, and


 


(b)          to
collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized
by each Securityholder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 hereof.


 


Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities 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.


 


Section 5.05         Trustee
May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities
of any series may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such series or the
production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its
own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the
Holders of the Securities, of the series in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.


 


Section 5.06         Application
of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to this Article
shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money
on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Securities of such series and the notation
thereon of the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:


 


First: To the payment
of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 hereof.


 


Second: To the payment
of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities of that series for principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, and additional
amounts, if any, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind.


 




    	33



    	 



    

 


Section 5.07         Limitation
on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of the principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue
Discount Securities, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest
on a Security of any series when due, no Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy
hereunder, unless


 


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


 


(b)          the
Holders of not less than 51% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have made written request to
the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;


 


(c)          such
Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in
compliance with such request;


 


(d)          the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request, and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding;
and


 


(e)          no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders
of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities of such series, or to obtain or to seek
to obtain priority or preference over any other such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner
herein provided and for the equal and proportionate benefit of all the Holders of all Securities of such series.


 


Section 5.08         Unconditional
Right of Securityholders to Receive Principal, Premium, and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture,
the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal, premium,
if any, and (subject to Section 3.07) interest, if any, (and additional amounts, if any) on such Security on or after the respective
payment dates expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on the Redemption Date or Repayment Date,
as the case may be) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective date, and such right
shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.


 


Section 5.09         Restoration
of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Securityholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then and in every such case the Company,
the Trustee and the Securityholders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively
to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue
as though no such proceeding had been instituted.


 




    	34



    	 



    

 


Section 5.10         Rights
and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Securityholders
is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative
and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.
The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment
of any other appropriate right or remedy.


 


Section 5.11         Delay
or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default
or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Securityholders may
be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders, as the case
may be.


 


Section 5.12         Control
by Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that


 


(a)          the
Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that
the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or would conflict with this Indenture or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by
a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial
to the Holders not taking part in such direction, and


 


(b)          the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.


 


Section 5.13         Waiver
of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series
may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series, waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series
and its consequences, except a default not theretofore cured:


 


(a)          in
the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security of such series, or in the payment of any sinking
or purchase fund or analogous obligation with respect to the Securities of such series, or


 


(b)          in
respect of a covenant or provision in this Indenture which, under Article IX hereof, cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series.


 


Upon any such waiver, such
default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose
of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 




    	35



    	 



    

 


Section 5.14         Undertaking
for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security 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 in the aggregate more
than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series to which the suit relates, or to any suit instituted by
any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security on or
after the respective payment dates expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption
Date or Repayment Date).


 


Section 5.15         Waiver
of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any
time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law (other
than any bankruptcy law) wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance
of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage
of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee,
but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.


 


ARTICLE VI


THE TRUSTEE


 


Section 6.01         Certain
Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.


 


(a)          Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities,


 


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


 


(ii)         in
the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may, with respect to Securities of such series, conclusively rely upon certificates
or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates
or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under
a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need
not confirm or investigate the accuracy of calculations or other facts stated therein).


 


(b)          If
an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has occurred
and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise, with respect to the Securities of such 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 person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.


 




    	36



    	 



    

 


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


 


(i)          this
Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section;


 


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


 


(iii)        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 Outstanding Securities of any series relating to
the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities
of such series; and


 


(iv)         no
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to it.


 


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


 


Section 6.02         Notice
of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder known to the Trustee with respect to Securities
of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders of such series, as their names and addresses appear in
the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however,
that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security
of such series or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to Securities
of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive
committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding
of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders of such series and; provided, further, that, in the case of any
default of the character specified in Section 5.01(d) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Securityholders
of such series shall be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default”,
with respect to Securities of any series, means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event
of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

Section 6.05         May
Hold Securities. The Trustee or any Paying Agent, Security Registrar, or other agent of the Company, in its individual
or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13 hereof, may otherwise

Section 6.06         Money

trust);


 


(b)          except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation
and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may
be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and


 


(c)          to
indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith
on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs
and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder.


 


Without prejudice to any
other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection
with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) and Section 5.01(f) above, such expenses (including the reasonable charges
and expenses of its counsel) and compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law.


 


The Trustee shall have
a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by it as such for any amount owing to it or any predecessor

Section 6.08         Disqualification;

Indenture Act, it shall either eliminate such interest or resign as Trustee with respect to one or more series of Securities, to
the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the
extent permitted by such Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being
a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series.


 


Section 6.09         Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to each series of Securities
that shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or Territory
thereof or of the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority and qualified and
eligible under this Article VI. 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. If at any time the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.


 


Section 6.10         Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.


 


(a)          No
resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective
until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.11.


 


(b)          The
Trustee may resign with respect to any one or more series of Securities at any time by giving at least 60 days’ written notice
thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within
30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Trustee.


 


(c)          The
Trustee may be removed with respect to any series of Securities at any time by Act of the Holders of 66 2/3% in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of that series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.


 


(d)          If
at any time:


 


(i)          the
Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.08 above with respect to any series of Securities after written request therefor by
the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of that series for at least six months, or


 


(ii)         the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 above with respect to any series of Securities and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder, or


 




    	40



    	 



    

 


(iii)        the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or


 


(iv)         the
Trustee shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation
or liquidation,


 


then, in any such case (A) the Company may
remove the Trustee, with respect to the series or, in the case of clause (iv), with respect to all series, or (B) subject to Section
5.14, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least 6 months may, on behalf of himself
and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment
of a successor Trustee with respect to the series or, in the case of clause (iv), with respect to all series.


 


(e)          If
the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or if a vacancy shall
occur in the office of Trustee with respect to any series of Securities for any cause, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee for that series of Securities. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of
such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to such series of Securities shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of 66 2/3%
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor
Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to such
series and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company with respect to such series. If no successor Trustee with respect
to such series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Securityholders of such series and accepted appointment in the
manner hereinafter provided, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of that series for at least six months
may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee with respect to such series.


 


(f)          The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to any series and each appointment of
a successor Trustee with respect to any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to
the Holders of Securities of that series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include
the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its principal Corporate Trust Office.


 


Section 6.11         Acceptance
of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder with respect to all series of Securities shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor 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 predecessor Trustee with respect
to any such series; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall, upon payment of its
reasonable charges, if any, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and
trusts of the predecessor Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money
held by such predecessor Trustee hereunder.


 




    	41



    	 



    

 


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 predecessor
Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to transfer and to conform
to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any series as to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates and (2) if the predecessor Trustee is
not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm
that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which
the predecessor Trustee is not being succeeded shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and (3) shall add to or
change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute
such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate
and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such
supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein
and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates; and, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer
and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities
of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.


 


Upon request of any such
successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to
such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may
be.


 


No successor Trustee with
respect to any series of Securities shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall
be qualified and eligible with respect to that series under this Article.


 


Notwithstanding replacement
of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 6.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit
of the retiring Trustee.


 


Section 6.12         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 all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall
be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under
this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case
any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor Trustee 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.


 




    	42



    	 



    

 


Section 6.13         Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company. If and when the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor, of the Company (or
of any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding
the collection of claims against the Company (or against any such other obligor, as the case may be).


 


Section 6.14         Appointment
of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding the Trustee, with the approval of
the Company, may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized
to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial
redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture
and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in
this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication,
such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a
certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States
of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as an Authenticating Agent, having
a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority.
If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising
or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall
be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.


 


Any corporation into which
an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate
agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation
shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.


 




    	43



    	 



    

 


An Authenticating Agent
may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and, if other than the Company, to the Company. The Trustee
may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and,
if other than the Company, to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at
any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee, with
the approval of the Company, may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail
written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect
to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating
Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed
unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.


 


The Company agrees to pay
to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.


 


If an appointment with
respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition
to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:


 


TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION


 


This is one of
the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Section 7.02         Preservation
of Information; Communications to Securityholders.


 


(a)          The
Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders of Securities contained
in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 7.01 and the names and addresses of Holders of Securities
received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in
Section 7.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.


 


(b)          If
three or more Holders of Securities of any series (hereinafter referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing
to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security of such series for a
period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to
communicate with other Holders of Securities of such series or with the Holders of all Securities with respect to their rights
under this Indenture or under such Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such
applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its
election, either:


 


(i)          afford
such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a), or


 


(ii)         inform
such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Securities of such series or all Securities, as the case may be, whose
names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a), and as to
the approximate cost of mailing to such Securityholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application.


 


If the Trustee shall elect
not to afford such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail
to each Holder of a Security of such series or to all Securityholders, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in
the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication
which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of
payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the Trustee
shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement
to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Securities
of such series or all Securityholders, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall
specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written
statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining
one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so
sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all Securityholders
of such series or all Securityholders, as the case may be, with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal
of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.


 




    	45



    	 



    

 


(c)          Every
Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the
Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders
of Securities in accordance with Section 7.02(b), regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the
Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 7.02(b).

and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from
time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section

an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing; and


 


(c)          the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any such consolidation,
merger, conveyance or transfer and any assumption permitted or required by this Article complies with the provisions of this Article.


 


Section 8.02         Successor
Corporation Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all
of the properties and assets of the Company in accordance with Section 8.01, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation
or into which the Company is merged or the Person to which such conveyance or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted
for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation
had been named as the Company herein and the Company shall thereupon be released from all obligations hereunder and under the Securities.
Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed and may issue any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which
theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation,
instead of the Company, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall
authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company
to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and
delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All of the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit
under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though
all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

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

amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures, by Act of said Holders

A supplemental indenture
that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture that has expressly been included solely for the benefit
of one or more particular series of Securities, or that 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.

of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series a sum sufficient to
pay such principal, premium, or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Holders of such Securities or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.


 


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


 




    	51



    	 



    

 


The Company will cause
each Paying Agent other than the Trustee for any series of Securities to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which
such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will


 


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


 


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


 


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

time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities or
for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company
or such Paying Agent in respect of each and every series of Securities as to which it seeks to discharge this Indenture or, if
for any other purpose, all sums so held in trust by the Company in respect of all Securities, such sums to be held by the Trustee
upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any
Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Certificate, one of whose signatories shall be the Company’s principal executive, accounting or financial officer, stating
that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as officers of the Company they would normally have knowledge
of any default by the Company in the performance of any of its covenants, conditions or agreements contained herein (without regard

ARTICLE XI


REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES


 


Section 11.01         Applicability
of Article. The Company may reserve the right to redeem and pay before the Scheduled Maturity Date all or any part of
the Securities of any series, either by optional redemption, sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation or otherwise, by
provision therefor in the form of Security for such series established and approved pursuant to Section 2.02 and 2.03 or as otherwise
provided in Section 3.01, and on such terms as are specified in such form or in the indenture supplemental hereto with respect
to Securities of such series as provided in Section 3.01. Redemption of Securities of any series shall be made in accordance with
the terms of such Securities and, to the extent that this Article does not conflict with such terms, the succeeding Sections of
this Article.


 


Section 11.02         Election
to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least
60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) notify
the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of the maturities and principal amount of each such maturity of Securities of
such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such
redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company
which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish
the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.


 


Section 11.03         Selection
by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Securities of any maturity of any series are to be redeemed,
the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from
the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate, which may include provision for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal of Securities of such series
of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series. Unless otherwise provided in the
terms of a particular series of Securities, the portions of the principal of Securities so selected for partial redemption shall
be equal to the minimum authorized denomination of the Securities of such series, or an integral multiple thereof, and the principal
amount which remains outstanding shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series.


 


The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption,
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.


 


For all purposes of this
Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the
case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Security which has been or
is to be redeemed.


 


Section 11.04         Notice
of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not fewer than 30 nor
more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing
in the Security Register on the applicable Record Date.


 


All notices of redemption
shall state:


 


(1)         the
Redemption Date;


 




    	53



    	 



    

 


(2)         the
Redemption Price, or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof;


 


(3)         if
fewer than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption,
the respective principal amounts) of the Securities to be redeemed, from the Holder to whom the notice is given and that on and
after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of the same series in the aggregate
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in accordance with Section 11.07;


 


(4)         that
on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security, and that interest, if any, thereon
shall cease to accrue from and after said date;


 


(5)         the
place where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, which shall be the office or agency maintained
by the Company in the Place of Payment pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof; and


 


(6)         that
the redemption is on account of a sinking or purchase fund, or other analogous obligation, if that be the case.


 


Notice of redemption of
Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, made
at least five business days prior to the date on which notice is to be given, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of
the Company.


 


Section 11.05         Deposit
of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount
of money, in immediately available funds, sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities which are to be redeemed
on that date.


 


Section 11.06         Securities
Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of Redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall,
on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the
Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such
Securities for redemption in accordance with the notice, such Securities shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price.
Any installment of interest due and payable on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities
registered as such on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and the provisions of Section 3.07 above, unless, with respect
to an Interest Payment Date that falls on a Redemption Date, such Securities provide that interest due on such date is to be paid
to the Person to whom principal is payable.


 


If any Security called
for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from
the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security, or as otherwise provided in such Security.


 




    	54



    	 



    

 


Section 11.07         Securities
Redeemed in Part. Any Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office or agency maintained
by the Company in the Place of Payment pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof with respect to that series (with, if the Company or the
Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Security
or Securities of the same series, tenor, terms and Scheduled Maturity Date, of any authorized denomination as requested by such
Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.


 


Section 11.08         Provisions
with Respect to any Sinking Funds. Unless the form or terms of any series of Securities shall provide otherwise, in
lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to such series of Securities in cash, the Company
may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities of such series theretofore acquired by the Company,
or (b) receive credit for any Securities of such series (not previously so credited) acquired or redeemed by the Company (other
than through operation of a mandatory sinking fund) and theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and if it does so
then (i) Securities so delivered or credited shall be credited at the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price with respect to
Securities of such series, and (ii) on or before the 60th day next preceding each sinking fund Redemption Date with respect to
such series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee (A) an Officers’ Certificate specifying the portions of
such sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and by the delivery or credit of Securities of such series acquired
or redeemed by the Company, and (B) such Securities, to the extent not previously surrendered. Such Officers’ Certificate
shall also state the basis for any such credit and that the Securities for which the Company elects to receive credit have not
been previously so credited and were not acquired by the Company through operation of the mandatory sinking fund, if any, provided
with respect to such Securities and shall also state that no Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series has occurred
and is continuing. All Securities so delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled by the Trustee and no Securities shall be authenticated
in lieu thereof.


 


If the sinking fund payment
or payments (mandatory or optional) with respect to any series of Securities made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding
sinking fund payments with respect to Securities of such series made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company
shall so request), unless otherwise provided by the terms of such series of Securities, that cash shall be applied by the Trustee
on the sinking fund Redemption Date with respect to Securities of such series next following the date of such payment to the redemption
of Securities of such series at the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price with respect to Securities of such series, together
with accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption, with the effect provided in Section 11.06. The Trustee shall select,
in the manner provided in Section 11.03, for redemption on such sinking fund Redemption Date a sufficient principal amount of Securities
of such series to utilize that cash and shall thereupon cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series for the sinking
fund to be given in the manner provided in Section 11.04 (and with the effect provided in Section 11.06) for the redemption of
Securities in part at the option of the Company. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption
of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment with respect to Securities of such series received
by the Trustee and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.08. Any and
all sinking fund moneys with respect to Securities of any series held by the Trustee at the Maturity of Securities of such series,
and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series, shall be applied by the Trustee, together with
other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Securities of such
series at Maturity.


 




    	55



    	 



    

 


On or before each sinking
fund Redemption Date provided with respect to Securities of any series, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash a sum equal
to all accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund Redemption
Date pursuant to this Section 11.08.


 


The Trustee shall not redeem
any Securities with sinking fund moneys or give any notice of redemption of Securities by operation of the applicable sinking fund
during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on Securities of such series or of any Event of Default with respect
to such series, except that if the notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been mailed in accordance with
the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem such Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the
Trustee for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article XI. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund with
respect to Securities of any series at the time when any such default or Event of Default with respect to such series shall occur,
and any moneys thereafter paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default with respect
to such series, be held as security for the payment of all Securities of such series; provided, however, that in case such
default or Event of Default with respect to such series shall have been cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter
be applied on the next sinking fund payment date on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section
11.08.


 


ARTICLE XII


REPAYMENT AT OPTION OF HOLDERS


 


Section 12.01         Applicability
of Article. Repayment of Securities of any series before their Scheduled Maturity Date at the option of Holders thereof
shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01
for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.


 


Section 12.02         Repayment
of Securities. Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders thereof
will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, together
with interest thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in the terms of such Securities. On or before the Repayment Date,
the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate
and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money, in immediately available funds, sufficient to pay the Repayment
Price of all the Securities which are to be repaid on such date.


 




    	56



    	 



    

 


Section 12.03         Exercise
of Option. Securities of any series subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an “Option
to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse of such Securities. To be repaid at the option of the Holder, any Security so
providing for such repayment, with the “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse of such Security duly
completed by the Holder, must be received by the Company at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the terms of such Security
(or at such other place or places of which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier
than 30 days nor later than 15 days prior to the Repayment Date. If less than the entire principal amount of such Security is to
be repaid in accordance with the terms of such Security, the principal amount of such Security to be repaid, in increments of $1,000
unless otherwise specified in the terms of such Security, and the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to
be issued to the Holder for the portion of the principal amount of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid must be specified.
The principal amount of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid in part, if,
following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of
Securities of the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided by the terms of any
Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable
