originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and the Opinion of Counsel required by the preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of
authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

hereunder. The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form: 
 This is one of the
Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the name and

 The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with respect to each series of Securities with any
Registrar or Paying Agent (if not the Trustee). The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to
maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent for a particular series of Securities, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.7. The Company or any Subsidiary or an Affiliate of
either of them may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

appointment to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 Section 2.6 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The
Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders of Securities of any series or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
Principal of or interest on such series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the
Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If
the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders of any series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent. 

Section 2.7 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list
available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders of each series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee at least seven
Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of such series of
Securities and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a). 
 Section 2.8 Registration, Registration of
Transfer and Exchange. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Securities of a series at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.2 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount. The Company shall not charge a service charge for
any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange of the Securities from the
Securityholder requesting such transfer or exchange (other than any exchange of a temporary Security for a permanent Security not involving any change in ownership or any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.6, 9.5 or 10.3, not involving any
transfer). 
 Notwithstanding any other provisions (other than the provisions set forth in the sixth and seventh paragraphs) of
this Section 2.8, a Security in global form representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series 

  
 13 









 
may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such
Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate Principal Amount and
tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder
making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series
is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of permanent Securities of such series, will
authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in permanent form in an aggregate Principal Amount equal to the Principal Amount of the Security or Securities in global form representing such series in exchange for such Security or Securities in
global form. 
 The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series issued in the
form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of permanent
Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in permanent form and in an aggregate Principal Amount equal to the Principal Amount of the Security or Securities in global form representing such series in exchange
for such Security or Securities in global form. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified in the preceding
two paragraphs or as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), any Global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If the beneficial owners of interests in a Global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for permanent
Securities of such series and of like Principal Amount and tenor but of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date
on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee permanent Securities in aggregate Principal Amount equal to the Principal Amount of such Global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on
which such interests may be so exchanged, such Global Security shall be surrendered by the Depositary with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for
permanent Securities without charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such Global Security, an equal aggregate Principal Amount of permanent Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and
of like tenor as the portion of such Global Security to be exchanged which shall be in the form of Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding the last
paragraph of this Section 2.8, no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date. If a Registered
Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the
relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest (as defined herein), interest or Defaulted Interest, as
the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be,
only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 Upon the exchange of a Security in global form for Securities in permanent form, such Security in global form shall be cancelled by the Trustee. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be
destroyed by the Trustee and a certificate of their destruction delivered to the Company unless the Company directs, by Company Order, that the Trustee shall cancel Securities and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company. Securities
issued in exchange for a Security in global form pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be registered in such names and in such 

  
 14 









 
authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Security in global form, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing.
The Trustee shall deliver such Securities as instructed in writing by the Depositary. 
 All Securities issued upon any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange. 
 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series during a period
beginning at the opening of 15 Business Days before any selection of Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of
or exchange any Security of a series so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
 Section 2.9 Replacement Securities. If (a) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of written notice to the Company, any such
paying agent or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall issue and execute and upon its written request the Trustee or paying agent outside the United States shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and Principal Amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this
Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee or Paying Agent) connected
therewith. 
 Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and any such new Security shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued
hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section 2.9 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights
and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 Section 2.10
Outstanding Securities. Securities of any series “Outstanding” at any time are, as of the date of determination, all the Securities of such series theretofore authenticated by the Trustee for such series except for those cancelled
by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be “Outstanding” because the Company or an Affiliate thereof holds the Security. Subject to the foregoing,
only Securities outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination (including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to Articles VI and IX). In addition, in determining whether the Holders of the
requisite Principal Amount of Outstanding Securities have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, (i) the Principal Amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be
Outstanding shall be the amount of the Principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2, (ii) the Principal Amount of a Security
denominated in a foreign currency or currencies shall be the Dollar equivalent, as determined on the date of original issuance of such Security, of the Principal Amount (or, in the case of a Discount Security, the Dollar equivalent on the date of
original issuance of such Security of the amount determined as provided in (i) above) of such Security. 

  
 15 









 If a Security has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.8 in exchange for or in lieu of
which another Security has been authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture, it ceases to be Outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 

If the Trustee (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, in accordance with this
Indenture, on a Redemption Date or on Stated Maturity, money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities shall cease to be Outstanding and interest, if any, on such Securities shall cease to accrue.

 Section 2.11 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of permanent Securities of any series, the Company may
execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of permanent Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for
temporary Securities and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. The Company may prepare and the Trustee upon request shall authenticate permanent Securities of the same series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities.
Until so exchanged in full, temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as permanent Securities of the same series. 

Section 2.12 Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and
Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment,
replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of the Securities in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has
paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.13 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights
Preserved. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be
paid to the person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 
 Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith
cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder. The Company shall pay such Defaulted Interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable upon the Defaulted Interest
to the Persons who are Holders of the series on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at the earliest practicable date but in all events at least five Business Days prior to the payment date (herein called “Special Record
Date”). The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such Special Record Date and payment date, and shall, promptly thereafter, notify the Trustee of any such date. At least 15 days before the Special Record Date, the Company (or the
Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company) shall mail to the Holders of the series a notice that states the Special Record Date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. The Company may pay Defaulted
Interest in any other lawful manner. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 2.8, each Security
delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

Section 2.14 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of Principal of and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 2.3(a) and subject to Section 2.8 and 2.13) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  
 16 









 None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
ownership interests. 
 Section 2.15 Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.3(a) for Securities of any series, (i) interest on any Securities which bear interest at a fixed rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and (ii) interest on any Securities
which bear interest at a variable rate shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in an interest period divided by 360. 
 Section 2.16 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 of a series or as contained in any notice of a
redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities of such series, 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 III 

REDEMPTION 

Section 3.1 Right to Redeem; Notice of Redemption to Trustee. Securities of any series which are redeemable before their
Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article III. If the Company elects to redeem
Securities of any series, it shall, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, notify the Trustee in writing of, the Redemption Date and the Principal Amount of and of any other information necessary to identify the
Securities of such series to be redeemed and the Redemption Price. 
 Section 3.2 Selection of Securities to Be
Redeemed. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) with respect to any series of Securities, if less than all the Securities of any series with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity are to be redeemed,
the Trustee shall select the particular Securities to be redeemed by such method as the Trustee considers fair and appropriate, which method may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for
Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the Principal Amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series. The Trustee shall make the selection
not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date from Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called
for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly in writing of the Securities to be redeemed and, in the case of any portions of Securities to be redeemed, the Principal Amount thereof to be redeemed. 

Section 3.3 Notice of Redemption to Holders. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) with respect
to any series of Securities, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed. The notice shall
identify the Securities to be redeemed (including “CUSIP” number(s), if any) and shall state: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the Redemption Price; (iii) if fewer than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be
redeemed, the identification (and in the case of partial redemption, the Principal Amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed; (iv) that the particular Securities to be redeemed must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the
Redemption Price; (v) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security (or portion thereof) to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and


  
 17 









 
after said date; (vi) the paragraph of the particular Securities called for redemption and/or the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which such Securities are being redeemed;
(vii) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; (viii) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case; and (ix) that no representation is made as to the
correctness or accuracy of the “CUSIP” number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the particular Securities called for redemption. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Company’s notice
shall be prepared by the Company. 
 Section 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed
in accordance with Section 3.3, Securities of a series called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent,
such Securities shall be paid at the Redemption Price plus accrued interest at the Redemption Date. 
 Section 3.5
Deposit of Redemption Price. No later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on all Securities to be
redeemed on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, all Securities to be
redeemed. 
 If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Redemption Date, interest
shall cease to accrue on the Securities or the portions of Securities called for redemption. If a Security is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest
shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to
comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid Principal, from the Redemption Date until such Principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid Principal, in each case at the rate provided
in the Securities. 
 Section 3.6 Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in
part, the Company shall issue and execute and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder of such Securities a new Security equal in Principal Amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

 ARTICLE IV 
 COVENANTS 
 Section 4.1 Payment of Securities. The Company
shall pay or cause to be paid the Principal of and interest on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company
or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all Principal and interest then due. Unless otherwise provided
as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) with respect to any series of Securities, at the option of the Company interest may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Holder as such address appears on the securities register. 

Section 4.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities
an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Securities of a series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the
Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee 

  
 18 









 
with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, 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, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Company also may from time to time
designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 With respect to any Global Security, and
except as otherwise may be specified for such Global Security as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), the Corporate Trust Office for the Trustee shall be the Place of Payment where such Global Security may be presented or surrendered for payment or
for registration of transfer or exchange, or where successor Securities may be delivered in exchange therefore, provided, however, that any such payment, presentation, surrender or delivery effected pursuant to the procedures of the Depositary for
such Global Security shall be deemed to have been effected at the Place of Payment for such Global Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 13.2. 

Section 4.3 Reports. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, promptly after it files the annual and quarterly reports,
information, documents and other reports with the Commission, copies of such annual report and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations
prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA §314(a). 

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt
shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to
rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 Section 4.4 Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver
to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signers thereof, the Company is in default in the performance and
observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and
status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 
 ARTICLE V 

SUCCESSORS 

Section 5.1 Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets. The Company will not, in a single transaction or through a series of
transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other Person or Persons, unless at the time and
immediately after giving effect thereto (i) either (a) the Company will be the continuing corporation or (b) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person that
acquires by sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis (1) will be a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of
the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and (2) will expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Company’s obligation for the due and punctual
payment of Principal of and interest on all the Securities and the performance and observance of every covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed and (ii) immediately before and


  
 19 









 
immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (and treating any obligation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary incurred in connection
with or as a result of such transaction or series of transactions as having been incurred at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing. 

Section 5.2 Successor Person Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer,
lease or disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.1, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the successor Person to which
such sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor had been named
as the Company herein. When a successor assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under this Indenture or the Securities, the predecessor shall be released from those obligations; provided that, in the case of a transfer by lease, the
predecessor shall not be released from the payment of Principal and interest on the Securities. 
 ARTICLE VI 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 Section 6.1 Events of Default. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) with respect to any series of Securities, an “Event of Default” occurs, with respect
to each series of Securities individually, if: 
 (1) the Company defaults in (i) the payment of any
interest upon any Security of such series when the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days or (ii) the payment of the Principal of any Security of such series at its Maturity (upon acceleration,
redemption, required purchase or otherwise); 
 (2) the Company defaults in the performance, or breach, of any
covenant or warranty of the Company contained in this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities, which default or breach continues for a period of 60 days after the Company receives written notice specifying such default from the Trustee
or Holders of Securities of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of such Securities of such series; 

(3) the Company or any Material Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a
Material Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of 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, 

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or 

(v) admits in writing its inability to pay debts generally; 

(4) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(i) is for relief against the Company or any Material Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together,
would constitute a Material Subsidiary in an involuntary case, 

  
 20 









 (ii) appoints a custodian of the Company or any Material Subsidiary or group
of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any Material Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would
constitute a Material Subsidiary, or 
 (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Material Subsidiary,
or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or 

(5) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series, which is specified in a supplemental
indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.3(a). 
 Section 6.2
Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than as specified in Section 6.1(3) or (4)) occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee by written notice to the Company or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of
the Outstanding Securities of that series by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the Principal Amount (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Discount Securities, such portion of the Principal Amount of such
Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities of that series to be immediately due and payable. Upon any such declaration, such Principal (or portion thereof) shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.1(3) or (4) occurs and is continuing, then the Principal (or portion thereof) of all the Securities of that series shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on
the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders. 
 At any time after a declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or
decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind such declaration
and its consequences if: 
 (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 

(i) all overdue interest, if any, on all Outstanding Securities of that series, 

(ii) the Principal of any Outstanding Securities of that series that has become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefore in such Securities, 
 (iii) to the
extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest and overdue Principal at the rate or rates prescribed therefore in such Securities, and 

(iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 
 (2) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment
of amounts of Principal of or interest on the Securities of such series that has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.3 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to a series of Outstanding Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the
payment of Principal of and interest on the Securities of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of such series or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities of a series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a
Security of a 

  
 21 









 
series in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series, waive any past Defaults, except a Default in the payment of the Principal or interest on any
Security of such series, or in respect of a covenant or provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. Upon such waiver, such Default shall
cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.5 Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. Securityholders may
not enforce this Indenture or the Securities of any series, however, except as provided in this Indenture. In addition, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be
unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

Section 6.6 Limitation on Suits. No individual Holder of any of the Securities of any series has any right to institute any
proceeding with respect to this Indenture or any remedy hereunder, unless (1) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to
the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee under the Securities of that series and this Indenture, (2) the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days after receipt of such notice and (3) the Trustee, within
such 60-day period, has not received directions inconsistent with such written request by the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series. 

A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over
another Securityholder. 
 Section 6.7 Rights of Holders of Securities to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security of any series to receive payment of Principal of and interest on the Security of that series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (including in connection
with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of each such Holder. 

Section 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) with respect to
Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of Principal and interest remaining unpaid on the Securities
of that series and interest on overdue Principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 Section 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is
authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Securities of any series allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series), its creditors or its property and shall be
entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Securityholder to make such payments to
the Trustee, and in the 

  
 22 









 
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all
distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Securityholders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any
Securityholder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding. 

Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money in the
following order: 
 First: to the Trustee, its agents and counsel for amounts due under Section 7.7, including payment of
all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
 Second: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for Principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such
Securities for Principal and interest, respectively; and 
 Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent
jurisdiction shall direct. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant to
this Section. 
 Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in
its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This
Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, to a suit by a Securityholder pursuant to Section 6.7, to a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series or to any suit
instituted by any Holder of any Security for the enforcement of the payment of the Principal of or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date). 
 ARTICLE VII 
 TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.1 Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

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

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

  
 23 









 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and reasonably conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such
certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they reasonably conform to the requirements of this
Indenture. 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to
act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b)
of this Section 7.1; 
 (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by
a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5. 

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to
the paragraphs of this Section.

upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or purportedly presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or Company Order. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such

 (e) Unless otherwise
specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company. 
 (f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under
this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction. 

  
 24 









 (g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any document, but the Trustee, in its judgment, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be
entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company, and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

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. 

(i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. 

(j) 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 to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 

Section 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict
within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee also is subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

Section 7.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the
validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this
Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Securities or any other
document in connection with the sale of the Securities or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to a series of Securities and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the
Trustee shall mail to Holders of such Securities as it appears on the Registrar a notice of the Default or Event of Default in the manner set forth in TIA §315(b) within 10 days after the Trustee obtains knowledge of occurrence thereof. Except
in the case of a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of Principal or interest on any Security of any series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if it determines, in good faith, that withholding the notice is in the interests of the
Holders of such Securities. 
 Section 7.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Securities. Within 60 days after
each              beginning with the              following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Securities remain
outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of the Securities a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA §313(a) (but if no event described in TIA §313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding
the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA §313(b)(2). The Trustee also shall transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA §313(c). A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the
Holders of Securities shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Securities are listed in accordance with TIA §313(d). The Company shall notify the Trustee when the Securities of a
particular series are listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 

  
 25 









 Section 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee
from time to time compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree 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 promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the
compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Company shall indemnify the Trustee
against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities or expenses incurred by it including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) in connection with the performance of its duties under this
Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.7) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in
connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by its
own negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim which a Responsible Officer has actually received for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company
of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced thereby. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust
to pay Principal and interest on particular Securities. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(3) or (4) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees
and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 The
Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA §313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 
 Section 7.8 Replacement of
Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.8. 

The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of
Securities of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if: (a) the Trustee fails to
comply with Section 7.10; (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; (c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or
its property; or (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy
exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, with respect to Securities of one or more series, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series). Within one year after the successor Trustee
takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 

  
 26 









 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of Securities of at least 10% in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, at
the expense of the Company. 
 If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder of a Security who has been a Holder of a
Security of any such series for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder of a Security may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.
Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to Holders of the Securities. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for
in Section 7.7. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business to another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 
 Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA §310(a)(1) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA §310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA §310(b)(9). In determining
whether the Trustee has conflicting interests as defined in TIA §310(b)(1), the provisions contained in the proviso to TIA §310(b)(1) shall be deemed incorporated herein. 

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company. The Trustee is subject to TIA §311(a), excluding any
creditor relationship listed in TIA §311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA §311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 Section 7.12 Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company, may, at the option of the Trustee, set
forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken
by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than five Business Days after the date any officer of the Company actually
receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions
in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 Section 8.1 Discharge of Liability on Securities. Except as otherwise contemplated by Section 2.3(a), this Indenture shall, at the option of the Board of Directors evidenced by
resolutions set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, cease to be of further effect as to all Outstanding Securities or all Outstanding Securities of any series, as the case may be, and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when: 
 (a) either 

(1) all Outstanding Securities or all Outstanding Securities of any series, as the case may be, theretofore authenticated and delivered
and all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto (other than Securities or Securities of such series, as the case may be, which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced as provided in Section 2.9 and Securities or
Securities of such series, as the case may be, for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in
Section 8.2) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

  
 27 









 (2) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation:

 (i) have become due and payable, 
 (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 

(iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company. 
 The Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose, an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, for Principal and any interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 

(b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and 

(c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied. 
 The Trustee
shall join in the execution of a document prepared by the Company acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of
the Company. 
 Section 8.2 Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company
on its request any money held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Securities that remains unclaimed for two years. After return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general
creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person. 
 Section 8.3 Option to Effect
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) with respect to Securities of a particular series, the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to any series
of Securities, elect to have either Section 8.4 or Section 8.5 be applied to all of the outstanding Securities of any series (the “Defeased Securities”), upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

 Section 8.4 Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.3 of the option
applicable to this Section 8.4, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Defeased Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter “defeasance”). For
this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be 

  
 28 









 
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the Defeased Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Sections
2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.9, 2.11, 2.12, 4.1, 4.2, 6.6, 6.7, 7.7, 7.8 and 8.2 of this Indenture and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such series of Securities and this Indenture insofar as such series of Securities are concerned (and the
Trustee, at the expense of the Company, and, upon written request, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same). Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.4
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.5 with respect to a series of Securities. 

Section 8.5 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.3 of the option applicable under this
Section 8.5, the Company shall be released from its obligations under Sections 4.3 and 4.4 and Article V and such other provisions as may be provided as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) with respect to Securities of a particular series and
with respect to the Defeased Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter “covenant defeasance”), and the Defeased Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “outstanding” for
the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences if any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For
this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Defeased Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or Article,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or Article or by reason of any reference in any such Section or Article to any other provisions herein or in any other document and such omission to
comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1 but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Defeased Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 

Section 8.6 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to application of either
Section 8.4 or 8.5 to a series of Outstanding Securities: 
 (1) The Company shall have irrevocably deposited with the
Trustee, in trust, (i) sufficient funds in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are denominated to pay the Principal of and interest to Stated Maturity (or redemption) on, the Securities of such series, or
(ii) such amount of direct obligations of, or obligations the Principal of and interest on which are fully guaranteed by, the government which issued the currency in which the Securities of such series are denominated, and which are not subject
to prepayment, redemption or call, as will, together with the predetermined and certain income to accrue thereon without consideration of any reinvestment thereof, be sufficient to pay when due the Principal of, and interest to Stated Maturity (or
redemption) on, the Securities of such series. 
 (2) The Company shall (i) have delivered an Opinion of Counsel that the
Company has met all of the conditions precedent to such defeasance and that the Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance, and will
be subject to tax in the same manner as if no defeasance and discharge or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, had occurred or (ii) in the case of an election under Section 8.4, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date this Indenture was first executed, there has been a change in the
applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel in the United States shall confirm that, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of that particular series will not recognize income, gain
or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance. 
 ARTICLE IX

2.3(a), respectively; or 
 (10) to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder in any
material respect. 
 Section 9.2 Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. With the written consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, the Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities of any series or may enter into
an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of
such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such amendment or supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby: 

(1) change the Stated Maturity of, the Principal of, or any installment of Principal or interest on, any such Security, or reduce the
Principal Amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon redemption thereof or reduce the amount of Principal of any such Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of maturity
thereof pursuant to Section 6.2, or change the Place of Payment where, or change the coin or currency in which, any Principal of, or any installment of interest on, any such Security is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date); 

  
 30 









 (2) reduce the percentage in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series,
the consent of whose Holders is required for any such amendment or supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their
consequences) with respect to the Securities of such series provided for in this Indenture; or 
 (3) modify any of the
provisions of this Section, Section 6.4 or 6.7, except to increase the percentage of Outstanding Securities of such series required for such actions to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without
the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby. 
 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates
any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such
covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such
consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment or supplemental indenture under this Section 9.2 becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to each Holder of the particular Securities affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment. 
 Section 9.3 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 

Section 9.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents, Waivers and Actions. Until an amendment or waiver with respect to a series of
Securities becomes effective, a consent to it or any other action by a Holder of a Security of that series hereunder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of that Security that evidences the
same obligation as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent, waiver or action is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent, waiver or action as to such Holder’s
Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the written notice of revocation before the date that the consent of the requisite aggregate Principal Amount of the Securities of that series has been obtained. After an amendment, waiver
or action becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of Securities of that series. 
 The Company may, but shall not be
obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment or waiver with respect to a series of Securities. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the first two sentences of the
immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were Holders of Securities of that series at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not
such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. 
 Section 9.5 Notation On or Exchange of Securities.
Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture with respect to such series pursuant to this Article IX may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a


  
 31 









 
notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of such series so modified as to conform,
in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for outstanding Securities of that series.

 Section 9.6 Trustee to Sign Supplemental Indentures. The Trustee shall sign any supplemental indenture authorized
pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 

Section 9.7 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article IX, this
Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound
thereby, except to the extent otherwise set forth thereon. 
 ARTICLE X 

SINKING FUNDS 
 Section 10.1 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article X shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 2.3(a) for Securities of such series. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided
for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an
“Optional Sinking Fund Payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 10.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied
to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such series. 

Section 10.2 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities
of a series with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity which
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 mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity; 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 10.3 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 60 days (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable
to the Trustee) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to
the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 10.2 and will
also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in
Section 3.2 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made
upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.4 and 3.6.

 ARTICLE XI 
 SUBORDINATION 
 Section 11.1 Agreement to Subordinate. The
Company, the Trustee and each Securityholder by accepting a Security agree that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), the Indebtedness and obligations evidenced by the Securities are subordinated in right of payment, to
the extent and in the manner provided in this Article XI, to the prior payment in full, in cash, of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the
subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company. 
 Section 11.2 Liquidation;
Dissolution; Bankruptcy. Upon any payment or distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or
its property, in an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of the Company’s assets and liabilities (except in connection with the consolidation or merger of the Company or its liquidation or dissolution following the
conveyance, transfer or lease of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety upon the terms and conditions described in Article V): 
 (1) holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled to receive payment in full, in cash, of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company before Securityholders shall be entitled to receive any
payment or distribution from the Company with respect to the Securities (other than any payment or distribution in the form of equity securities or subordinated securities of the Company or any successor obligor that, in the case of any such
subordinated securities, are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness that may at the time be outstanding to at least the same extent as the Securities are so subordinated (such equity securities or subordinated securities
hereinafter being “Permitted Junior Securities”) and any payment made pursuant to the provisions described in Article VIII from monies or U.S. Government Obligations previously deposited with the Trustee); and 

(2) until all Senior Indebtedness of the Company (as provided in subsection (1) above) is paid in full, in cash, any payment or
distribution to which the Trustee or any Securityholder would be entitled but for this Article XI (other than a payment or distribution in the form of Permitted Junior Securities and payments made pursuant to the provisions described in Article VIII
from monies or U.S. Government Obligations previously deposited with the Trustee) shall be made to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as their interests may appear. 

Section 11.3 Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness. The Company may not make any payment or distribution upon or in
respect of the Securities, including, without limitation, by way of set-off or otherwise, or redeem (or make a deposit in redemption of), defease or acquire any of the Securities, for cash, properties or securities (other than a payment or
distribution in the form of Permitted Junior Securities and payments made pursuant to the provisions described in Article VIII from monies or U.S. Government Obligations previously deposited with the Trustee) if: 

(1) a default in the payment of any Principal or interest (a “Payment Default”) with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness
of the Company occurs and is continuing; or 
 (2) a default (other than a Payment Default) or any event that, after notice or
passage of time would become a default (a “Non-Payment Default”), on Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company occurs and is continuing that then permits holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company to accelerate its
maturity and the Trustee receives a written notice of the default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from a Person who may give it pursuant to Section 11.11. Any number of such Payment Blockage Notices may be given; provided, however, that
(i) not more than one Payment Blockage Notice may be commenced during any period of 360 consecutive days and (ii) any Non-Payment Default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any such notice to the Trustee shall not be
the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice, unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 days. 

  
 33 









 The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities,
and may acquire such Securities upon the earlier of: 
 (1) in the case of a Payment Default, the date upon which such default
is cured or waived, or 
 (2) in the case of a Non-Payment Default, on the earliest of (i) the date on which such
Non-Payment Default is cured or waived, (ii) 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, if the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company has not been accelerated or (iii) the
date on which such Payment Blockage Period is terminated by written notice to the Trustee or the Company from a Person authorized to give notices under Section 11.11. 
 Section 11.4 Acceleration of Securities. If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify representatives of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company of the acceleration. 
 Section 11.5 When Distribution Must be Paid Over. In the event
that the Trustee or any Securityholder receives from the Company any payment with respect to the Securities at a time when such payment is prohibited by Section 11.3, such payment shall be held by the Trustee or such Securityholder in trust for
the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered upon written request to, the holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as their interests may appear, or their representative under this Indenture or other agreement (if
any) pursuant to which Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company remaining unpaid to the extent
necessary to pay such obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company. 

With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of
the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article XI, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be
deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Securityholders or the Company or any other Person,
money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XI, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee. 

Section 11.6 Notice By Company. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any facts known to the
Company that would cause a payment of any obligations with respect to the Securities to violate this Article XI, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Securities to the Senior Indebtedness of the Company as
provided in this Article XI. 
 Section 11.7 Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid
in full, in cash, and until the Securities are paid in full, Securityholders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with the Securities) to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to
receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness of the Company to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Securityholders have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness of the Company. A distribution made under this
Article XI to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company that otherwise would have been made to Securityholders is not, as between the Company and Securityholders, a payment by the Company on the Securities. 

  
 34 









 Section 11.8 Relative Rights. This Article XI defines the relative rights of
Securityholders and holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company. Nothing in this Indenture shall: 
 (1) impair, as between
the Company and Securityholders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay Principal of and interest on the Securities in accordance with their terms; 

(2) affect the relative rights of Securityholders and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company; or 
 (3) prevent the Trustee or any Securityholder from exercising its available remedies upon a
Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Securityholders. 

If the Company fails because of this Article XI to pay Principal of or interest on a Security on the due date, the failure is still a
Default or Event of Default. 
 Section 11.9 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company. No right of any holder of
Senior Indebtedness of the Company to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Securityholder or by the failure of the Company or any
Securityholder to comply with this Indenture. 
 The Trustee and Securityholders agree that they will not challenge the
validity, enforceability or perfection of any Senior Indebtedness or of the liens, guarantees and security interests securing the same and that as between the holders of the Senior Indebtedness on the one hand and the Trustee and Securityholders on
the other, the terms hereof shall govern even if all or part of the Senior Indebtedness or such liens and security interests are voided, disallowed, subordinated, set aside or otherwise invalidated in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, regardless
of the theory upon which such action is premised. 
 Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 11.9, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Securityholders, without incurring responsibility to the Trustee or the Securityholders and without impairing or releasing
the subordination provided in this Article XI or the obligations hereunder of the Securityholders to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of
payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness, the Senior Credit Agreement or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or secured; (b) sell, exchange, release, foreclose against or
otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (c) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (d) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights
against the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Person. 
 Section 11.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative.
Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their representative. 

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XI, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall be
entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the
Securityholders for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount or amounts thereof or payable thereon,
the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XI. 

Section 11.11 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XI or any other provision of
this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the
Securities, unless the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office at least one Business Day prior to the date of such payment a Payment Blockage Notice. Only the holders or the representative of holders of Designated Senior
Indebtedness of the Company may give a Payment Blockage Notice. Nothing in this Article XI shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.7. 

  
 35 









 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness of the
Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. 

Section 11.12 Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each Securityholder of a Security by the Securityholder’s
acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Securityholder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article XI, and appoints the Trustee to act as the
Securityholder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 6.9 at least 30 days before the expiration
of the time to file such claim, the representatives of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Securityholders of the Securities. 

Section 11.13 Amendments. The provisions of this Article XI shall not be amended or modified without the written consent of
the holders of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company that would be adversely affected thereby. 
 ARTICLE XII 

GUARANTEES 

Section 12.1 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article XII will be applicable to any series of Securities
which is to be guaranteed by one or more Guarantors. 
 Section 12.2 Subordination of Security Guarantee. Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), the obligations of each Guarantor under any series of Securities which are to be guaranteed pursuant to this Article XII shall be junior and subordinated to the prior payment in full, in
cash, of the Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor on the same basis the Securities of such series are junior and subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company pursuant to Article XI. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Trustee and
the Securityholders shall have the right to receive and/or retain payments by any of the Guarantors of such Securities only at such times as they may receive and/or retain payments in respect to the Securities of such series pursuant to this
Indenture, including Article XI hereof. 
 Section 12.3 Guarantee. Subject to this Article XII, each of the
Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of Securities of a series as to which it is a Guarantor authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns on behalf of
each such Holder, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the Principal of and interest on the Securities of such series will be
promptly paid by the Company in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue Principal of and interest on the Securities of such series, if any, if lawful will be promptly paid by the
Company in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities of such series, that same will be promptly paid by the Company in full when due by the
Company in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due by the Company of any amount so guaranteed which failure continues for three days after demand
therefor is made to the Company for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

The Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the
validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities of the series or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities of such series with respect to any provisions hereof or
thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment (except as specifically provided in the 

  
 36 









 
preceding paragraph), filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all
demands (except as specifically provided in the preceding paragraph) whatsoever and covenant that this Security Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the payment obligations contained in the Securities of the series and
this Indenture. 
 If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors
or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Security Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall
be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in
relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on
the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes of this Security Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become
due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Security Guarantee, failing payment when due by the Company, which failure continues for three days after demand therefor is made to the Company. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek
contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee. 
 Section 12.4 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities of a series as to which such Guarantor is a Guarantor, each Holder, hereby confirms that it
is the intention of all such parties that the Security Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any
similar Federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Security Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Security
Guarantee and this Article XII shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to
any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article XII, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its
Security Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 Section 12.5 Release of Guarantors. The
Security Guarantee of a Guarantor with respect to any series of Securities will be released under the circumstances specified for such series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.3(a).
