The Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities
and in the denominations of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof, subject to Section 2.01(a)(13).
The Securities of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rate specified with respect to that series.
Subject to Section 2.01(a)(23), the principal of and the interest on the Securities of any series, as well as any premium thereon
in case of redemption or repurchase thereof prior to maturity, and any cash amount due upon conversion or exchange thereof, shall be payable
in the coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time is legal tender for public and private debt, at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for that purpose. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Interest on the Securities
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.


 






    8


     


    

 


The interest installment on any Security that is payable,
and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of that series shall be paid to the Person in
whose name said Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for
such interest installment. In the event that any Security of a particular series or portion thereof is called for redemption and the redemption
date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest
on such Security will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Security as provided in Section 3.03.


 


Any interest on any Security that is payable, but
is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of the same series (herein called “Defaulted
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having
been such holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause
(2) below:


 


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


 


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


 



    9


     


    

 


Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution or
one or more indentures supplemental hereto establishing the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the
term “regular record date” as used in this Section with respect to a series of Securities and any Interest Payment Date for
such series shall mean either the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established
for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of a month, or the first
day of the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such
Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date is a Business Day.


 


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


 


Section 2.04 Execution and Authentications. 


 


The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company
by one of its Officers. Signatures may be in the form of a manual or facsimile signature.


 


The Company may use the facsimile signature of any
Person who shall have been an Officer (at the time of execution), notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Securities shall be authenticated
and delivered or disposed of such Person shall have ceased to be such an officer of the Company. The Securities may contain such notations,
legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication by
the Trustee.


 


A Security shall not be valid until authenticated
manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee, or by an Authenticating Agent. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the
Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of
any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company for the authentication
and delivery of such Securities, signed by an Officer, and the Trustee in accordance with such written order shall authenticate and deliver
such Securities.


 


Upon the Company’s delivery of any such authentication
order to the Trustee at any time after the initial issuance of Securities under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with, and
(subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon, (1) an Opinion of
Counsel or reliance letter and (2) an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to the execution, authentication
and delivery of such Securities are in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.


 


The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate
such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities
under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

Section 2.05 Registration of Transfer and Exchange.



 


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


 


(b) The Company shall keep, or cause to be
kept, at its office or agency designated for such purpose a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Security Register”)
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities and the transfers of Securities
as in this Article provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose
of registering Securities and transfer of Securities as herein provided shall be appointed as authorized by Board Resolution or Supplemental
Indenture (the “Security Registrar”).


 


Upon surrender for transfer of any Security at the
office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office
or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series as the Security presented
for a like aggregate principal amount.


 


The Company initially appoints the Trustee as initial
Security Registrar for each series of Securities


 


All Securities presented or surrendered for exchange
or registration of transfer, as provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar)
by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar, duly executed by the
registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing.


 


(c) Except as provided pursuant to Section 2.01
pursuant to a Board Resolution, and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental
to this Indenture, no service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, or issue of new Securities
in case of partial redemption of any series or repurchase, conversion or exchange of less than the entire principal amount of a Security,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 3.03(b) and Section 9.04 not involving any transfer.


 


(d) The Company and the Security Registrar
shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before the day of the sending of a notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Securities of the same series
and ending at the close of business on the day of such sending, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of
any series or portions


 



    11


     


    

 


thereof called for redemption or surrendered for repurchase, but not validly
withdrawn, other than the unredeemed portion of any such Securities being redeemed in part or not surrendered for repurchase, as the case
may be. The provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to any Global Security, subject to Section 2.11 hereof.


 


The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect
to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners
of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly
required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial
compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.


 


Section 2.06 Temporary Securities. 


 


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


 


Section 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.



 


In case any temporary or definitive Security shall
become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the Company’s
request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series, bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed,
lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish
to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Security and
of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the written request or
authorization of any





 





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


 






    12


     


    

 


In case any Security that has matured or is about
to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize
the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall
furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction,
loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the
ownership thereof.


 


Every replacement Security issued pursuant to the
provisions of this Section shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture
equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Securities shall be held and
owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding
any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments
or other securities without their surrender.


 


Section 2.08 Cancellation. 


 


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


 


Section 2.09 Benefits of Indenture. 


 


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


 






    13


     


    

 


Section 2.10 Authenticating Agent. 


 


So long as any of the Securities of any series remain
Outstanding there may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Securities which the Trustee shall have the right to appoint.
Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange,
transfer or partial redemption, repurchase or conversion thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of
this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. All references in this
Indenture to the authentication of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for
such series. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation that has a combined capital and surplus,
as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it
is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with these provisions, it shall resign immediately.


 


Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by
giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Company shall)
terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company.
Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating
Agent acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested
with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.


 


Section 2.11 Global Securities. 


 


(a) If the Company shall establish pursuant
to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued as a Global Security, then the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver, a Global Security that (i) shall represent,
and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all of the Outstanding Securities of such series, (ii) shall
be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant
to the Depositary’s instruction (or if the Depositary names the Trustee as its custodian, retained by the Trustee), and (iv) shall
bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Security
may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or to a nominee of
such successor Depositary.”


 


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


 



    14


     


    

 


(c) If at any time the Depositary for a series
of the Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such series or if at any time the
Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation,
and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes
aware of such condition, as the case may be, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Company has received a request
from the Depositary or from the Trustee, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable to the Securities of such series and the
Company will execute, and subject to Section 2.04, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive
registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the
Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. In addition, the Company may at any time determine that the Securities
of any series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply
to the Securities of such series. In such event the Company will execute and, subject to Section 2.04, the Trustee, upon receipt
of an Officer’s Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series
in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. Upon the exchange of the Global Security for such Securities
in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such
Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered
in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants
or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose
names such Securities are so registered.


 


Section 2.12 CUSIP Numbers. 


 


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

ARTICLE 3 


 


REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND PROVISIONS



 


Section 3.01 Redemption. 


 


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


 


Section 3.02 Notice of Redemption. 


 


(a) In case the Company shall desire to exercise
such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series in accordance with any right the Company reserved
for itself to do so pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption
to holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid (or with regard to any Global Security
held in book entry form, by electronic mail in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary), a notice of such redemption
not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such Securityholders, unless a
shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively
presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice
to the holder of any Security of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities of such series or any other series. In the case of any redemption
of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with any such restriction.


 


Each such notice of redemption shall identify the
Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if any), specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price at which Securities
of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such Securities to be redeemed will be made
at the office or agency of the Company, upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for
redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue and that the redemption
is from a sinking fund, if such is the case. If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders
of Securities of that series to be redeemed in part shall specify the particular Securities to be so redeemed.


 


In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only,
the notice that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that
on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.


 



    16


     


    






 


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


 


Section 3.03 Payment Upon Redemption. 


 


(a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall
have been completed as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified in such notice
shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest
accrued to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Securities or portions of Securities shall cease to accrue
on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest
with respect to any such Security or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for
redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price
for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption
is an Interest Payment Date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business
on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03).


 


(b) Upon presentation of any Security of such
series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where
the Security is presented shall deliver to the Securityholder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security of the same series
of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.


 


Section 3.04 Sinking Fund. 


 


The provisions of Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall
be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01
for Securities of such series.


 



    17


     


    

 


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


 


Section 3.05 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments
with Securities. 


 


The Company (i) may deliver Outstanding Securities
of a series and (ii) may apply as a credit Securities of a series that have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant
to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities,
in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to
be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series, provided that such Securities have not been
previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified
in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.


 


Section 3.06 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.



 


Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment
date for any series of Securities (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Company will deliver to the Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of
the series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.05
and the basis for such credit and will, together with such Officer’s Certificate, deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so
delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment
date shall be selected in the manner specified in Section 3.02 and the Company shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be
given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.02. Such notice having been duly given,
the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03.


 


ARTICLE 4 


 


COVENANTS 


 


Section 4.01 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.



 


The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause
to be paid the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of that series at the time and place and in the manner
provided herein and established with respect to such Securities. Payments of principal on the Securities may be made at the time provided
herein and established with respect to such Securities by U.S. dollar check drawn on and mailed to the address of the Securityholder entitled


 



    18


     


    






 


thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, or U.S.
dollar wire transfer to, a U.S. dollar account if such Securityholder shall have furnished wire instructions to the Trustee no later than
15 days prior to the relevant payment date. Payments of interest on the Securities may be made at the time provided herein and established
with respect to such Securities by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the Securityholder entitled thereto as such address shall
appear in the Security Register, or U.S. dollar wire transfer to, a U.S. dollar account if such Securityholder shall have furnished wire
instructions in writing to the Security Registrar and the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the relevant payment date.


 


Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 


 


So long as any series of the Securities remain Outstanding,
the Company agrees to maintain an office or agency with respect to each such series and at such other location or locations as may be
designated as provided in this Section 4.02, where (i) Securities of that series may be presented for payment, (ii) Securities
of that series may be presented as herein above authorized for registration of transfer and exchange, and (iii) notices and demands
to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be given or served, such designation to continue
with respect to such office or agency until the Company shall, by written notice signed by any officer authorized to sign an Officer’s
Certificate and delivered to the Trustee, designate some other office or agency for such purposes or any of them. If at any time the Company
shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as
its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands. The Company initially appoints the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee
as its paying agent with respect to the Securities.


 


Section 4.03 Paying Agents. 


 


(a) If the Company shall appoint one or more
paying agents for all or any series of the Securities, other than the Trustee, the Company will cause each such paying agent to execute
and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section:


 


(1) that it will hold all sums held by it
as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series (whether such sums
have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such Securities) in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto;


 


(2) that it will give the Trustee notice of
any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor of such Securities) to make any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
or interest on the Securities of that series when the same shall be due and payable;


 


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


 


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


 



    19


     


    

 


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


 


(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section
to the contrary, (i) the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section 11.05,
and (ii) the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other
purpose, pay, or direct any paying agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such paying agent, such sums
to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such paying agent;
and, upon such payment by the Company or any paying agent to the Trustee, the Company or such paying agent shall be released from all
further liability with respect to such money.


 


Section 4.04 Appointment to Fill Vacancy in Office
of Trustee. 


 


The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a
vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times
be a Trustee hereunder.

SECURITYHOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE
COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE 


 


Section 5.01 Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses
of Securityholders. 


 


The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished
to the Trustee (a) within 15 days after each regular record date (as defined in Section 2.03) a list, in such form as the Trustee
may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the holders of each series of Securities as of such regular record date, provided
that the Company shall not be obligated to furnish or cause to furnish such list at any time that the list shall not differ in any respect
from the most recent list furnished to the Trustee by the Company and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing
within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15
days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, that, in either case, no such list need be furnished for any series
for which the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar.


 



    20


     


    

 


Section 5.02 Preservation Of Information; Communications
With Securityholders. 


 


(a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current
a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the holders of Securities contained in the most
recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 and as to the names and addresses of holders of Securities received by the
Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar (if acting in such capacity).


 


(b) The Trustee may destroy any list furnished
to it as provided in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.


 


(c) Securityholders may communicate as provided
in Section 312(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with other Securityholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under
the Securities, and, in connection with any such communications, the Trustee shall satisfy its obligations under Section 312(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the provisions of Section 312(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.


 


Section 5.03 Reports by the Company. 


 


(a) The Company will at all times comply with
Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Company covenants and agrees to provide (which delivery may be via electronic mail)
to the Trustee within 30 days, after the Company files the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports 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) that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to deliver to the Trustee any correspondence filed with the Commission or any
materials for which the Company has sought and received confidential treatment by the Commission; and provided further, that so long as
such filings by the Company are available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR),
or any successor system, such filings shall be deemed to have been filed with the Trustee for purposes hereof without any further action
required by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, a failure by the Company to file annual reports, information and other reports with
the Commission within the time period prescribed thereof by the Commission shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 5.03.


 


(b) Delivery of reports, information and documents
to the Trustee under Section 5.03 is for informational purposes only and the information and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing
shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein, or determinable from information contained therein including
the Company’s compliance with any of their covenants thereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s
Certificate). The Trustee is under no duty to examine any such reports, information or


 





documents delivered to the Trustee or filed with the Commission via EDGAR
to ensure compliance with the provision of this Indenture or to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of the information or the statements
contained therein. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or duty whatsoever to ascertain or determine whether the above referenced
filings with the Commission on EDGAR (or any successor system) has occurred.

dated as of such May 1, which complies with Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

time of such transmission to Securityholders, be filed by the Trustee with the Company, with each securities exchange upon which any Securities

any securities exchange.


 


ARTICLE 6 


 


REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT
OF DEFAULT 


 


Section 6.01 Events of Default.


 


(a) Whenever used herein with respect to Securities
of a particular series, “Event of Default” means any one or more of the following events that has occurred and is continuing:


 


(1) the Company defaults in the payment of
any installment of interest upon any of the Securities of that series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default
continues for a period of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by the Company in accordance
with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose;


 


(2) the Company defaults in the payment of
the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due and payable whether
at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with
respect to that series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such Securities in accordance with the terms of any
indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any;


 



    22


     


    

 


(3) the Company fails to observe or perform
any other of its covenants or agreements with respect to that series contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect
to that series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof (other than a covenant or agreement that has been expressly included
in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than such series) for a period of 90 days after the
date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”
hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or to the Company and the Trustee by
the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding;


 


(4) the Company pursuant to or within the
meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (i) commences a voluntary case, (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in
an involuntary case, (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property or (iv) makes
a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or


 


(5) a court of competent jurisdiction enters
an order under any Bankruptcy Law that (i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a Custodian
of the Company for all or substantially all of its property or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree
remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.


 


(b) In each and every such case (other than
an Event of Default specified in clause (4) or clause (5) above), unless the principal of all the Securities of that series
shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders),
may declare the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of that series to be due
and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of
Default specified in clause (4) or clause (5) above occurs, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities
of that series shall automatically be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the
holders of the Securities.


 


(c) At any time after the principal of (and
premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities of that series shall have been so declared due and payable, and
before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Company
and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee
a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of that series and the principal of (and premium,
if any, on) any and all Securities of that series that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal
and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest,
at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series to the date of such payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the
Trustee under Section 7.06, and (ii) any and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series, other than
the nonpayment of principal on (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on Securities of that series that shall not have
become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06.


 






    23


     


    

 


 


No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or
shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


(d) In case the Trustee shall have proceeded
to enforce any right with respect to Securities of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued
or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then
and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to
their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though
no such proceedings had been taken.


 


Section 6.02 Collection of Indebtedness and
Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.


 


(a) The Company covenants that (i) in
case it shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of a series, or in any payment required by
any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series as and when the same shall have become due and payable, and such
default shall have continued for a period of 90 days, or (ii) in case it shall default in the payment of the principal of (or premium,
if any, on) any of the Securities of a series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities
of a series or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee,
for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series, the whole amount that then shall have been become due and payable on
all such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal
(and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments
of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06.


 


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


 


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


 



    24


     


    

 


holders of Securities of such series allowed for the entire amount due
and payable by the Company under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may become
due and payable by the Company after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver,
assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of Securities of such series to make such
payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Securityholders,
to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under Section 7.06.


 


(d) All rights of action and of asserting claims
under this Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to Securities of that series, may be enforced by the Trustee
without the possession of any of such Securities, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any
such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of
judgment shall, after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.06, be for the ratable benefit of the
holders of the Securities of such series.


 


In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee
may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings
as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.


 


Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize
the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment
or composition affecting the Securities of that series or the rights of any Securityholder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote
in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.


 


Section 6.03 Application of Moneys Collected.


 


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


 


FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection
and of all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06;


 


SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and
unpaid upon Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which
such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities
for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and


 


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


 



    25


     


    

 


Section 6.04 Limitation on Suits.


 


No holder of any Security of any series shall have
any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless
(i) such Securityholder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof
with respect to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided; (ii) the holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the
Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (iii) such Securityholder or Securityholders
shall have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance
with such request; (iv) the Trustee for 90 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed
to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and (v) during such 90 day period, the holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.


 


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


 


Section 6.05 Rights and Remedies Cumulative;
Delay or Omission Not Waiver.


 


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


 



    26


     


    

 


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


 


Section 6.06 Control by Securityholders.


 


The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.04, shall have the right to direct
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
on the Trustee with respect to such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with
this Indenture or subject the Trustee in its sole discretion to personal liability. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the
Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or officers
of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed, subject to the Trustee’s duties under the Trust Indenture Act, would
involve the Trustee in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the Securityholders not involved in the proceeding. The holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance
with Section 8.04, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default in the performance
of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such series and its consequences,
except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Securities of that series as and when
the same shall become due by the terms of such Securities otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum
sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance
with Section 6.01(c)). Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture
and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder,
respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


Section 6.07 Undertaking to Pay Costs.


 


All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder
of any Securities by such holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require,
in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such
court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant
in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses





 


made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not
apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding more than
10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the
enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, on or after the respective
due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this Indenture.

duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.
In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (that has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall

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:

Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to that
series that may have occurred:

of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished
to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of
this Indenture;


 



    28

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


 


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


 


(v) The Trustee shall not be required to give
any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers or duties hereunder;

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

to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein
shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a series of the Securities
(that has not been cured or waived), to exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of his or her own affairs;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(h) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible
or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly,
forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military
disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or
computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with
accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances;


 






    30


     


    

 


(i) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible
or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss
of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of
action; and


  


(j) The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon
instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic
methods; provided, however, that such instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party providing
such instructions or directions. If the party elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar
electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions
shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the
Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with
a subsequent written instruction. The party providing electronic instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such
electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on
unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties. The Trustee may request that the Company deliver
an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to furnish the
Trustee with Officer’s Certificates, Company Orders and any other matters or directions pursuant to this Indenture.


  


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


 


(l) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default (other than an Event of Default constituting the failure to pay the interest on, or the principal
of, the Securities if the Trustee also serves the paying agent for such Securities) until the Trustee shall have received written notification
in the manner set forth in this Indenture or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have obtained actual knowledge.


 


Section 7.03 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals
or Issuance or Securities.


 


(a) The recitals contained herein and in the
Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for any statement in any registration statement, prospectus, or any other document in connection
with the sale of Securities. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any rating on the Securities or any action or omission of any rating
agency.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 7.04 May Hold Securities.


 


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


 



    31


     


    




 





 


Section 7.05 Moneys Held in Trust.


 


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


 


Section 7.06 Compensation and Reimbursement.


 


(a) The Company shall pay to the Trustee for
each of its capacities hereunder from time to time compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time
agree upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.
The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include
the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.


 


(b) The Company shall indemnify each of the
Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder against any loss, liability or expense (including the cost of defending itself and including
the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel) incurred by it except as set forth in Section 7.06(c)
in the exercise or performance of its powers, rights or duties under this Indenture as Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify the
Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the
defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company
need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall
apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee.


 


(c) The Company need not reimburse any expense
or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the
Trustee through negligence or bad faith.


 


(d) To ensure the Company’s payment obligations
in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all funds or property held or collected by the Trustee, except
that held in trust to pay principal of or interest on particular Securities. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection
with an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(4) or (5), the expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel)
and the compensation for services in connection therewith are to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law. The provisions
of this Section 7.06 shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.


 






    32


     


    

 


Section 7.07 Reliance on Officer’s Certificate.


 


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


 


Section 7.08 Disqualification; Conflicting
Interests.


 


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


 


Section 7.09 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.


 


There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect
to the Securities issued hereunder which shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or any state or territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act
as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of
at least fifty million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by federal, state, territorial, or District
of Columbia authority.


 


If such corporation or other Person 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 or other Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 7.10.


 


Section 7.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment
of Successor.


 


(a) The Trustee or any successor hereafter
appointed may at any time resign with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company
and the Securityholders of such series. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee
with respect to Securities of such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have
been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days


 



    33


     


    

 


after the sending of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series,
or any Securityholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon
after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.


 


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


 


(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with
the provisions of Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder
of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or


 


(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any
such Securityholder; or


 


(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of
acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of
its property shall be appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property
or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;


 


then, in any such case, the Company may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Securities and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board
of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or any
Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee.


 


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


 


(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee
and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11.


 


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


 



    34


     


    

 


Section 7.11 Acceptance of Appointment By
Successor.


 


(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of
a successor trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such retiring
Trustee shall, upon payment of any amounts due to it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.


 


(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of
a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor
trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor
trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer
and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates, (ii) shall contain such provisions
as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect
to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring
Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture
shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate
and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any act
or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to
the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have no further responsibility for the
exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, and each
such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates;
but, on request of the Company or any successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates.


 


(c) Upon request of any such successor trustee,
the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all
such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.


 



    35


     


    




 


(d) No successor trustee shall accept its appointment
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.


 


(e) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor
trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall send notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Securityholders.
If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee
shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company.


 


Section 7.12 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 the corporate trust business of the Trustee, including
the administration of the trust created by this Indenture, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation
shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In
case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion
or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same
effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.


 


Section 7.13 Preferential Collection of Claims
Against the Company.


 


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


 


Section 7.14 Notice of Default.


 


If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and
if such Event of Default is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Securityholder in the manner
and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act notice of the Event of Default within the earlier of 90 days
after it occurs and 30 days after it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or written notice of it is received by the Trustee,
unless such Event of Default has been cured; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the Responsible
Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Securityholders.


 



    36


     


    

 


ARTICLE 8 


 


CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS 


 


Section 8.01 Evidence of Action by Securityholders.


 


Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the
holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series may take any action
(including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact
that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage of that series have joined therein may
be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of Securities of that series in
person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing.


 


If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders
of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option,
as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the determination of Securityholders
entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no
obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the close of business on the record date
shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding
Securities of that series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities of that series shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however,
that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall
become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.


 


Section 8.02 Proof of Execution by Securityholders.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    37


     


    

 


Section 8.03 Who May be Deemed Owners.


 


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


 


Section 8.04 Certain Securities Owned by Company
Disregarded.


 


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


 


Section 8.05 Actions Binding on Future Securityholders.


 


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


 



    38


     


    

 


ARTICLE 9 


 


SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 


 


Section 9.01 Supplemental Indentures Without
the Consent of Securityholders.


 


In addition to any supplemental indenture otherwise
authorized by this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect), without the consent of the Securityholders,

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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(h) to evidence and provide for the acceptance
of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee; or


 


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


 



    39


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


Section 9.02 Supplemental Indentures With
Consent of Securityholders.


 


With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01)
of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected by such supplemental
indenture or indentures at the time Outstanding, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to
time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act as then in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner not covered by Section 9.01 the rights of the holders of
the Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent
of the holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby, (a) extend the fixed maturity of any Securities of any series,
or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable
upon the redemption thereof or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to
any such supplemental indenture.


 


It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders
of any series affected thereby under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall
be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.


 


Section 9.03 Effect of Supplemental Indentures.


 


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

Section 9.04 Securities Affected by Supplemental
Indentures.


 


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

Section 9.05 Execution of Supplemental Indentures.


 


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


 


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

Nothing contained in this Indenture shall prevent
any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company) or successive consolidations

or other disposition of the property of the Company or its successor or successors as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to
any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company or its successor or successors); provided, however, the Company hereby covenants
and agrees that, upon any such consolidation or merger (in each case, if the Company is not the survivor of such transaction) or any such
sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition (other than a sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition to a Subsidiary of the Company),

of all the covenants and conditions of this Indenture with respect to each series or established with respect to such series pursuant
to Section 2.01 to be kept or performed by the Company shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture (which shall conform
to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect) reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee executed and delivered
to the Trustee by the entity formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or by the entity which shall
have acquired such property.


 


Section 10.02 Successor Entity Substituted.


 


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


 


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


 


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

2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 4,01, 4.02, 4,03, 7.06, 7.10, 11.05 and 13.04 hereof that shall survive until such Securities shall mature and be paid.

Agents.


 


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

any paying agent or the Trustee, or then held by the Company, in trust for payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on

after the date upon which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such Securities shall have respectively become due and
payable, or such other shorter period set forth in applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, shall be repaid to the Company
on May 31 of each year or upon the Company’s request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust;
and thereupon the paying agent and the Trustee shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys or Governmental
Obligations, and the holder of any of the Securities entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as a general creditor, look only
