the Security shall nevertheless be valid. 
 (b) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Companies may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Companies to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities and, if required pursuant to Section 3.01, a
supplemental indenture or Company Order setting forth the terms of the Securities of a series. The Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Securities without any further action by the Companies. The Company Order shall specify the
amount of Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated. 

  
 18 












 (c) In authenticating the first Securities of any series and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 11.02) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each prepared in
accordance with Section 17.01 stating that the conditions precedent, if any, provided for in the Indenture have been complied with. 

(d) The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver the Securities under this Section 3.03 if the issue of the
Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities or this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of this Section 3.03, if all of the Securities of any series are not to be
originally issued at the same time, then the documents required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03 must be delivered only once prior to the authentication and delivery of the first Security of such series; 

(f) If the Companies shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the
form of one or more Global Securities, then the Companies shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities that (i) shall represent an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Global Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be
delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s applicable procedures and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: 

“THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE
DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, WHICH SHALL BE TREATED BY THE COMPANIES, THE TRUSTEE AND ANY AGENT THEREOF AS OWNER AND HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY FOR ALL PURPOSES. 

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE COMPANIES OR THEIR AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF
TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO THE
NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF,
THE NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. 

  
 19 












 TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART,
BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR
DEPOSITARY.” 
 The aggregate principal amount of each Global Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments
made on the records of the Security Custodian, as provided in this Indenture. 
 (g) Each Depositary designated pursuant to
Section 3.01 for a Global Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as such Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or
regulation. 
 (h) Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture
with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Security Custodian under such Global Security, and the Depositary shall be treated by the Companies, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar and any of
their agents as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Companies, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar or any of their agents from giving
effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of an
owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Security. The Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Members and Persons that may hold interests through Members, to take any action that a Holder is
entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities. 
 (i) No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in one of the forms provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee or by an Authenticating Agent by manual or electronic
signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee or Authenticating Agent, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 Section 3.04. Temporary Securities. 

(a) Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Companies may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise reproduced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are
issued, in registered form and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as 

  
 20 












 
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Any such temporary Security may be in the form of one or more Global Securities, representing all or a portion of the Outstanding
Securities of such series. Every such temporary Security shall be executed by the Companies and shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the
definitive Security or Securities in lieu of which it is issued. 
 (b) If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Companies will
cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such
series upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Companies in a Place of Payment for such series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series,
the Companies shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 

(c) Upon any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security for a definitive Global Security or for the Individual Securities
represented thereby pursuant to this Section 3.04 or Section 3.06, the temporary Global Security shall be endorsed by the Trustee to reflect the reduction of the principal amount evidenced thereby, whereupon the principal amount of such
temporary Global Security shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and endorsed. 
 Section 3.05. Registrar and
Paying Agent. 
 (a) The Companies will keep, at an office or agency to be maintained by it in a Place of Payment where Securities may
be presented for registration or presented and surrendered for registration of transfer or of exchange, and where Securities of any series that are convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, as applicable (the
“Registrar”), a security register for the registration and the registration of transfer or of exchange of the Securities (the registers maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Companies in a Place of
Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Register”), as in this Indenture provided, which Register shall at all reasonable times be open for inspection by the Trustee. Such Register shall be in written form or
in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Companies may have one or more co-Registrars; the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar. 
 (b) The Companies shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or co-Registrar not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Companies shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of each such
agent. If the Companies fail to maintain a Registrar for any series, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 11.01. The Companies or any of their respective Affiliates thereof
may act as Registrar, co-Registrar or transfer agent. 

  
 21 












 (c) The Companies hereby appoint the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as Registrar in
connection with the Securities and this Indenture, until such time as another Person is appointed as such. 
 Section 3.06. Transfer
and Exchange. 
 (a) Transfer. 

(i) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the Registrar the Companies shall execute, and
the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee, one or more new Securities of the same series for like aggregate principal amount of any authorized denomination or denominations. The
transfer of any Security shall not be valid as against the Companies or the Trustee unless registered at the Registrar at the request of the Holder, or at the request of his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. 

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the
Individual Securities represented thereby, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of
such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

(b) Exchange. 

(i) At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series (other than a Global Security, except as set forth below) may be
exchanged for other Securities of the same series for like aggregate principal amount of any authorized denomination or denominations, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at the Registrar. 

(ii) Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Companies shall execute, and the Trustee or Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 (c) Exchange of Global
Securities for Individual Securities. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities will not be entitled to receive Individual Securities. 

(i) Individual Securities shall be issued to all owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security in exchange for such
interests if: (A) at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Companies that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of
such series shall no longer be eligible under Section 3.03(h) and, in each case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Companies within 90 days of such notice, or (B) the Companies execute and deliver to the Trustee and the
Registrar an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. 

  
 22 












 In connection with the exchange of an entire Global Security for Individual
Securities pursuant to this subsection (c), such Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Companies shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery
of Individual Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Individual
Securities of authorized denominations. 
 (ii) The owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security will be entitled to
receive an Individual Security in exchange for such interest if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon receipt by the Security Custodian and Registrar of instructions from the Holder of a Global Security directing the Security
Custodian and Registrar to (x) issue one or more Individual Securities in the amounts specified to the owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security and (y) debit or cause to be debited an equivalent amount of beneficial interest
in such Global Security, subject to the rules and regulations of the Depositary: 
 (A) the Security Custodian and Registrar
shall notify the Companies and the Trustee of such instructions, identifying the owner and amount of such beneficial interest in such Global Security; 

(B) the Companies shall promptly execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery
of Individual Securities of such series, shall authenticate and deliver to such beneficial owner Individual Securities in an equivalent amount to such beneficial interest in such Global Security; and 

(C) the Security Custodian and Registrar shall decrease such Global Security by such amount in accordance with the foregoing.
In the event that the Individual Securities are not issued to each such beneficial owner promptly after the Registrar has received a request from the Holder of a Global Security to issue such Individual Securities, the Companies expressly
acknowledge, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof, the right of any beneficial Holder of Securities to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Security that represents
such beneficial Holder’s Securities as if such Individual Securities had been issued. 
 (iii) If specified by the
Companies pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a series of Securities, the Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Individual Securities of
such series on such terms as are acceptable to the Companies and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Companies shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, 

(A) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new Individual Security or new Individual Securities of the same series, of
any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security; and 

  
 23 












 (B) to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the
difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Individual Securities delivered to Holders thereof. 

(iv) In any exchange provided for in clauses (i) through (iii), the Companies will execute and the Trustee will
authenticate and deliver Individual Securities in registered form in authorized denominations. 
 (v) Upon the exchange in
full of a Global Security for Individual Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Individual Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such
authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names
such Securities are so registered. 
 (d) All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid
obligations of the Companies evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered for such registration of transfer or exchange. 

(e) Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, or for exchange or payment shall (if so required by the Companies,
the Trustee or the Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Companies, the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or by his, her or its
attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 (f) No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities. The
Companies or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than those expressly
provided in this Indenture to be made at the Companies’ expense or without expense or charge to the Holders. 
 (g) The Companies shall
not be required to (i) register, transfer or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the transmission of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series selected for
redemption under Section 4.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such transmission, or (ii) register, transfer or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any
Security being redeemed in part. 
 (h) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer or exchange of any Security, the
Companies, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar, any co-Registrar or any of their agents may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security
(whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any 

  
 24 












 
notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for all purposes whatsoever, and none of the Companies, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar, any
co-Registrar or any of their agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 (i) In case
a successor Company (“Successor Company”) has executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article XIV, any of the Securities authenticated or delivered pursuant to such transaction may, from time to time,
at the request of the Successor Company, be exchanged for other Securities executed in the name of the Successor Company (and any other applicable Company obligor) with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise
identical to the Securities surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Company Order of the Successor Company, shall authenticate and deliver Securities as specified in such order for the purpose of such
exchange. If Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a Successor Company pursuant to this Section 3.06 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such Successor
Company, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Securities at the time Outstanding for Securities authenticated and delivered in such new name. 

(j) Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Companies and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer,
exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Security in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities laws. 

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

(l) Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. 

Section 3.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

(a) If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office or (ii) the Companies and the Trustee
receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Companies and the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to them to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless, and
neither the Companies nor the Trustee receives notice that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, then the Companies shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor, form, terms and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, such that neither gain nor loss in interest shall
result from such exchange or substitution. 

  
 25 












 (b) In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Companies in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay the amount due on such Security in accordance with its terms. 

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

(d) Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Companies, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately
with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
 (e) The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

Section 3.08. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 

(a) Interest on any Security that is payable and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the
Person in whose name such Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest notwithstanding the cancellation of such Security upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the
Record Date. Payment of interest on Securities shall be made at the Corporate Trust Office (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01) or, at the option of the Companies, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Register or, in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, by wire transfer to an account designated by the Holder. 

(b) Any interest on any Security that 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 Record Date by virtue of his, her or its having been such a Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Companies, at their election
in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below: 
 (i) The Companies may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
Interest to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a “Special Record
Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Companies shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time
the Companies shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the
proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of 

  
 26 












 
the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Companies shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not
more than 15 calendar days and not less than 10 calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Companies shall promptly notify
the Trustee of such Special Record Date, and the Companies shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Holders of such Securities at
their addresses as they appear in the Register, not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such
Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following
clause (ii). 
 (ii) The Companies may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Companies to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant
to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any interest which is paid prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 7.01(a) shall be paid to Holders as of the Record Date for the Interest Payment Date for which interest has not
been paid. 
 (c) Subject to the provisions set forth herein relating to Record Dates, each Security delivered pursuant to any provision of
this Indenture in exchange or substitution for, or upon registration of transfer of, any other Security shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

Section 3.09. Cancellation. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, all Securities
surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or credit against any sinking fund or otherwise shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and shall be promptly
canceled by it and, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, be promptly canceled by it. The Companies may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder that the Companies may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of all canceled Securities held by it in accordance with its then customary procedures and deliver a certificate of such
disposal to the Companies upon its written request therefor. The acquisition of any Securities by the Companies shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented thereby unless and until such Securities are
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

  
 27 












 Section 3.10. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

Section 3.11. Currency of Payments in Respect of Securities. 

(a) Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, payment of the principal of and premium, if any,
and interest on Securities of such series will be made in U.S. Dollars. 
 (b) For purposes of any provision of the Indenture where the
Holders of Outstanding Securities may perform an action that requires that a specified percentage of the Outstanding Securities of all series perform such action and for purposes of any decision or determination by the Trustee of amounts due and
unpaid for the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of all series in respect of which moneys are to be disbursed ratably, the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Outstanding Securities denominated in a
Foreign Currency will be the amount in U.S. Dollars based upon exchange rates, determined as specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Securities of such series, as of the date for determining whether the Holders entitled to perform such action
have performed it or as of the date of such decision or determination by the Trustee, as the case may be. 
 (c) Any decision or
determination to be made regarding exchange rates shall be made by an agent appointed by the Companies; provided, that such agent shall accept such appointment in writing and the terms of such appointment shall, in the opinion of the Companies at
the time of such appointment, require such agent to make such determination by a method consistent with the method provided pursuant to Section 3.01 for the making of such decision or determination. All decisions and determinations of such
agent regarding exchange rates shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Companies, the Trustee and all Holders of the Securities. 

Section 3.12. Judgments. The Companies may provide pursuant to Section 3.01 for Securities of any series that (a) the
obligation, if any, of the Companies to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of any series in a Foreign Currency or U.S. Dollars (the “Designated Currency”) as may be specified pursuant to
Section 3.01 is of the essence and agrees that, to the fullest extent possible under applicable law, judgments in respect of such Securities shall be given in the Designated Currency; (b) the obligation of the Companies to make payments in
the Designated Currency of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Securities shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other Currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount
in the Designated Currency that the Holder receiving such payment may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other Currency (after any premium and cost of exchange) on the business day in the country of
issue of the Designated Currency or in the international banking community (in the case of a composite currency) immediately following the day on which such Holder receives such payment; (c) if the amount in the Designated Currency that may be
so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Companies shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to compensate for such shortfall; and (d) any obligation of the Companies not discharged by such payment
shall be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, shall continue in full force and effect. 

  
 28 












 Section 3.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Companies in issuing any Securities may use
CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if then generally in use, and thereafter with respect to such series, the Trustee may use such numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange with respect to such series provided that any such notice may state
that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Companies will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers. 

ARTICLE IV 
 REDEMPTION
OF SECURITIES 
 Section 4.01. Applicability of Right of Redemption. Redemption of Securities (other than pursuant to a
sinking fund, amortization or analogous provision) permitted by the terms of any series of Securities shall be made (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article;
provided, however, that if any such terms of a series of Securities shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the terms of such series shall govern. 

Section 4.02. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. 

(a) If the Companies shall at any time elect to redeem all or any portion of the Securities of a series then Outstanding, they shall at least
10 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Companies (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee
shall select, by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee shall deem appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion, in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a
portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series; provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination)
for such Security. In any case where more than one Security of such series is registered in the same name, the Trustee may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered as if it were represented by one Security of such series. The Trustee
shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Companies in writing of the Securities and portions of Securities so selected. 
 (b) For all
purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of
such Security that has been or is to be redeemed. If the Companies shall so direct, Securities registered in the name of the Companies, their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries thereof shall not be included in the Securities selected for
redemption. 

  
 29 












 Section 4.03. Notice of Redemption. 

(a) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Companies or, at the Companies’ request in an Officer’s Certificate, delivered to the
Trustee at least three (3) Business Days before the requested date of delivery of the notice to Holders, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Companies, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to the
Holders of Securities of any series to be redeemed in whole or in part pursuant to this Article, in the manner provided in Section 17.04. Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder
receives such notice. Failure to give such notice, or any defect in such notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption, in whole or in part, shall not affect the sufficiency of any notice of redemption with respect to
the Holder of any other Security of such series. 
 (b) All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including
CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if available) and shall state: 
 (i) such election by the Companies to redeem
Securities of such series pursuant to provisions contained in this Indenture or the terms of the Securities of such series or a supplemental indenture establishing such series, if such be the case; 

(ii) the Redemption Date; 

(iii) the Redemption Price; 

(iv) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial
redemption, the principal amounts) of the Securities of such series to be redeemed; 
 (v) that on the Redemption Date the
Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed, and that, if applicable, interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date; 

(vi) the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and 

(vii) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. 

Any redemption notice may, at the Companies’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of a
corporate transaction. In such event, the related notice of redemption shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, at the Companies’ discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time (including more
than 60 days after the notice of redemption was given) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been
satisfied (or waived by the Companies in their sole discretion) by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. 

  
 30 












 Section 4.04. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the Redemption Date for any Securities, the Companies shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Companies are acting as their own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 6.04) an
amount of money in the Currency in which such Securities are denominated (except as provided pursuant to Section 3.01) sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of such Securities or any portions thereof that are to be redeemed on that date. 

Section 4.05. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, subject to the last
paragraph of Section 4.03, any Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price and from and after such date (unless the Companies shall Default in the payment of the Redemption Price)
such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Companies at the Redemption Price; provided, however, that (unless
otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01) installments of interest that have a Stated Maturity on or prior to the Redemption Date for such Securities shall be payable according to the terms of such Securities and the provisions of
Section 3.08. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal
thereof and premium, if any, thereon shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 

Section 4.06. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Corporate
Trust Office or such other office or agency of the Companies as is specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with, if the Companies, the Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Companies, the Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Companies shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such
Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of like tenor and form, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of
the principal of the Security so surrendered; except that if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Companies shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security, without service charge, a new
Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered. In the case of a Security providing appropriate space for such notation, at the option of the Holder
thereof, the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Security or Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation on such Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof. 

ARTICLE V 
 SINKING FUNDS

 Section 5.01. Applicability of Sinking Fund. 

(a) Redemption of Securities permitted or required pursuant to a sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series by the terms of
such series of Securities shall be made in accordance with such terms of such series of Securities and this Article, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Securities of such series, provided, however, that if any such terms
of a series of Securities shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the terms of such series shall govern. 

  
 31 












 (b) 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 Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 5.02. 

Section 5.02. Mandatory Sinking Fund Obligation. The Companies may, at their option, satisfy any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment
obligation, in whole or in part, with respect to a particular series of Securities by (a) delivering to the Trustee Securities of such series in transferable form theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Companies or redeemed at the
election of the Companies pursuant to Section 4.03 or (b) receiving credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) acquired by the Companies and theretofore delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall credit such
Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment obligation with an amount equal to the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment shall be reduced
accordingly. If the Companies shall elect to so satisfy any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment obligation, they shall deliver to the Trustee not less than 45 days prior to the relevant sinking fund payment date an Officer’s Certificate, which shall
designate the Securities (and portions thereof, if any) so delivered or credited and which shall be accompanied by such Securities (to the extent not theretofore delivered) in transferable form. In case of the failure of the Companies, at or before
the time so required, to give such notice and deliver such Securities the Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment obligation shall be paid entirely in moneys. 

Section 5.03. Optional Redemption at Sinking Fund Redemption Price. In addition to the sinking fund requirements of
Section 5.02, to the extent, if any, provided for by the terms of a particular series of Securities, the Companies may, at their option, make an Optional Sinking Fund Payment with respect to such Securities. Unless otherwise provided by such
terms, (a) to the extent that the right of the Companies to make such Optional Sinking Fund Payment shall not be exercised in any year, it shall not be cumulative or carried forward to any subsequent year, and (b) such optional payment
shall operate to reduce the amount of any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment obligation as to Securities of the same series. If the Companies intend to exercise their right to make such optional payment in any year it shall deliver to the Trustee not
less than 45 days prior to the relevant sinking fund payment date an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Companies will exercise such optional right, and specifying the amount which the Companies will pay on or before the next succeeding
sinking fund payment date. Such Officer’s Certificate shall also state that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

Section 5.04. Application of Sinking Fund Payment. 

(a) If the sinking fund payment or payments made in funds pursuant to either Section 5.02 or 5.03 with respect to a particular series of
Securities plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in funds with respect to such series shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Companies shall so request, or such equivalent sum for Securities


  
 32 












 
denominated other than in U.S. Dollars), it shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund payment date next following the date of such payment, unless the date of such payment shall be a
sinking fund payment date, in which case such payment shall be applied on such sinking fund payment date, to the redemption of Securities of such series at the redemption price specified pursuant to Section 4.03(b). The Trustee shall select, in
the manner provided in Section 4.02, for redemption on such sinking fund payment date, a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to absorb said funds, as nearly as may be, and shall, at the expense and in the name of the
Companies, thereupon cause notice of redemption of the Securities to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 4.03(a) for the redemption of Securities in part at the option of the Companies, except that the notice of redemption
shall also state that the Securities are being redeemed for the sinking fund. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied by the Trustee to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next sinking fund payment received in funds by
the Trustee and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.04. Any and all sinking fund moneys held by the Trustee on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Securities of such
series, and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series, shall be applied by the Trustee to the payment of the principal of the Securities of such series at Maturity. 

(b) On or prior to each sinking fund payment date, the Companies shall pay to the Trustee a sum equal to all interest accrued to but not
including the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section 5.04. 

(c) The Trustee shall not redeem any Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such
series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a Default in payment of interest on any Securities of such series or of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph) of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, except that if the notice of redemption of any Securities of such series shall theretofore have been mailed in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem such Securities
if funds sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Article. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund at the time any such Default or Event of Default shall occur and any moneys
thereafter paid into the sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such Default or Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of all the Securities of such series; provided, however, that in case such Default or Event of Default shall
have been cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next sinking fund payment date on which such moneys are required to be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.04. 

ARTICLE VI 
 PARTICULAR
COVENANTS OF THE COMPANIES 
 The Companies hereby covenant and agree as follows: 

Section 6.01. Payments of Securities. The Companies will duly and punctually pay the principal of and premium, if any, on each
series of Securities, and the interest which shall have accrued thereon, at the dates and place and in the manner provided in the Securities and in this Indenture. 

  
 33 












 Section 6.02. Paying Agent. 

(a) The Companies will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities, if any, an office or agency where Securities may be
presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Companies in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served
(the “Paying Agent”). The Companies will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Companies shall fail to maintain any such required
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Companies hereby appoint the Trustee as
Paying Agent to receive all presentations, surrenders, notices and demands; provided, however that the Trustee shall not be deemed an agent of the Companies for legal service of process. 

(b) The Companies may also from time to time designate different or additional offices or agencies where the Securities of any series may be
presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes (in or outside of such Place of Payment), and may from time to time rescind any such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner
relieve the Companies of their obligations described in the preceding paragraph. The Companies will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such additional designation or rescission of designation and of any change in the location of any
such different or additional office or agency. The Companies shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such
agent. The Companies shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of each such agent. The Companies or any of their respective Affiliates thereof may act as Paying Agent. 

Section 6.03. To Hold Payment in Trust. 

(a) If the Companies or any of their respective Affiliates shall at any time act as Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities,
then, on or before the date on which the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of that series by their terms or as a result of the calling thereof for redemption shall become payable, the Companies or such Affiliates
will segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities or the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay such principal and premium, if any, or interest which shall have so become payable until such sums shall be paid to such
Holders or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act in that regard. Upon any proceeding under any federal bankruptcy laws with respect to the Companies or any of their respective
Affiliates, if the Companies or such Affiliates are then acting as Paying Agent, the Trustee shall replace the Companies or such Affiliates as Paying Agent. 

(b) If the Companies shall appoint, and at the time have, a Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest
on any series of Securities, then prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of that series shall become payable as aforesaid, whether by their terms or as
a result of the calling thereof for redemption, the Companies will deposit with such 

  
 34 












 
Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and premium, if any, or interest, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities or the Trustee, and (unless
such Paying Agent is the Trustee), the Companies or any other obligor of such Securities will promptly notify the Trustee of its payment or failure to make such payment. 

(c) If the Paying Agent shall be other than the Trustee, the Companies will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.04, that such Paying Agent shall: 

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

(ii) give to the Trustee notice of any Default by the Companies or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series in the
making of any payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of that series; and 
 (iii) at
any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 

(d) Anything in this Section 6.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Companies may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a release,
satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Companies or by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee as required by this Section 6.04, such sums to be
held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Companies or such Paying Agent. 
 (e) Any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Companies, in trust for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and
premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Companies upon Company Order along with any interest that has accumulated thereon as a result of such money being invested at the direction of the Companies, or (if then
held by the Companies) shall be discharged from such trust, and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Companies for payment of such amounts without interest thereon, and all liability of the
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Companies as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Companies may publish or cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in
the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the
date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Companies.

Sections 6.05(a)(i)(A) and (B) above. 
 (iv) If any consolidation or merger or any sale, assignment, conveyance, lease,
transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Parent Guarantor’s assets or change of jurisdiction transaction as described in Section 6.05(c)(iii) above occurs in accordance with this Indenture, the Successor Parent (if

ARTICLE VII 
 REMEDIES OF
TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS 
 Section 7.01. Events of Default. 

(a) Except where otherwise indicated by the context or where the term is otherwise defined for a specific purpose, the term “Event of
Default” as used in this Indenture with respect to Securities of any series shall mean any of the following described events unless it is either inapplicable to a particular series or it is specifically deleted or modified in the manner
contemplated in Section 3.01: 
 (i) default in any payment of interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security
when due and payable, if that default continues for a period of 30 days; 
 (ii) default in the payment of the principal
amount of or premium, if any, on any Security issued under this Indenture when due at its Stated Maturity or upon optional redemption or otherwise, if that default or failure continues for a period of two days; 

(iii) failure to comply for 90 days after written notice by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or by the Holders of 30% in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities with any of the Companies’ or the Parent Guarantor’s obligations under Article VI (in each case, other than an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a)(i) or 7.01(a)(ii)); 

(iv) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or
evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by NXP B.V., NXP Funding or a Significant Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by NXP B.V., NXP Funding or a Significant Subsidiary) other than Indebtedness owed to any of the Parent
Guarantor, NXP B.V., NXP Funding or a Significant Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of issuance of the Securities, which default: 

(A) is caused by a failure to pay principal at the Stated Maturity on such Indebtedness, immediately upon the expiration of the
grace period provided in such Indebtedness; or 
 (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express
maturity not rescinded or cured within 30 days after such acceleration; 
 and, in each case, the aggregate principal amount of any such
Indebtedness, together with the aggregate principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a payment default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated and remains undischarged after such 30 day period, aggregates to
€200.0 million or more; 

  
 41 












 (v) any of the Parent Guarantor (to the extent a guarantor under any series
of Securities), NXP B.V., NXP Funding or a Significant Subsidiary institutes or consents to the institution of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or applies for or consents to the
appointment of any receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator, administrator, administrative receiver or similar office with respect to an event of bankruptcy, insolvency or court protection; or any receiver, trustee,
custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator, administrator, administrative receiver or similar office with respect to an event of bankruptcy, insolvency or court protection is appointed without the application or consent of such Person and the
appointment continues undischarged or unstayed for 60 calendar days; or any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any such Person or to all or any material part of its property or assets is instituted without the consent of such Person
and continues undismissed or unstayed for 60 calendar days, or an order for relief is entered in any such proceeding; 
 (vi)
failure by any of the Parent Guarantor, NXP B.V., NXP Funding or a Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of €200.0 million (exclusive of any amounts that a solvent insurance company has acknowledged liability
for), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days after the judgment becomes final and non-appealable; and 

(vii) the guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect, other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or the
Parent Guarantor denies or disaffirms in writing its obligations under its guarantee, other than in accordance with the terms thereof or upon release of the guarantee in accordance with this Indenture; 

(b) A default under Sections 7.01(a)(iii), 7.01(a)(iv) or 7.01(a)(vi) will not constitute an Event of Default with respect to a series of
Securities until the Trustee or the Holders of 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series under this Indenture notify the Companies and the Trustee (if such Holders provide the notice of default hereunder) of the
default and the Companies do not cure such default within the time specified in Sections 7.01(a)(iii), 7.01(a)(iv) or 7.01(a)(vi), as applicable, after receipt of such notice. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.01, to the extent elected by the Companies, the sole remedy for an Event
of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations specified in Section 10.02, and for any failure to comply with the requirements of § 314(a)(1) of the TIA, shall for the first 60 days after the occurrence of such
an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Securities at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the Securities. The additional interest will accrue on all outstanding Securities from
and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the reporting obligations specified in Section 10.02 first occurs to but not including the 60th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of
Default relating to the reporting obligations shall have been cured or waived). On such 60th day (or earlier, if the Event of Default relating to the reporting obligations is cured 

  
 42 












 
or waived prior to such 60th day), such additional interest will cease to accrue and, if the Event of Default relating to the reporting obligations has not been cured or waived prior to such 60th
day, the Securities shall be subject to an acceleration of maturity as provided in Section 7.02(a). 
 The provisions of the
immediately preceding paragraph will not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default; provided, however, that in no event will the rate of additional interest accruing pursuant to the immediately
preceding paragraph at any time exceed 1.00% per annum, in the aggregate. In the event the Companies do not elect to pay additional interest upon an Event of Default in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Securities shall be
subject to an acceleration of maturity as provided in Section 7.02(a). If the Companies elect to pay additional interest as the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations specified in
Section 10.02, and for any failure to comply with the requirements of §314(a)(1) of the TIA in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Companies shall notify all Holders and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election on
or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default first occurs. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 7.01, if the principal or any premium or interest on any Security is payable in a Currency other than the Currency of the United States and such Currency is not available to the Companies for making payment thereof due to the
imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Companies, the Companies will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders of the Securities by making such payment in the Currency of the United States in an
amount equal to the Currency of the United States equivalent of the amount payable in such other Currency, as determined by the Companies’ agent in accordance with Section 3.11(c) hereof by reference to the noon buying rate in The City of
New York for cable transfers for such Currency (“Exchange Rate”), as such Exchange Rate is reported or otherwise made available by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the date of such payment, or, if such rate is not then
available, on the basis of the most recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.01, any payment made under such circumstances in the Currency of the United States where the required payment is in
a Currency other than the Currency of the United States will not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture 
 Section 7.02.
Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment. 
 (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in
Section 7.01(a)(v) above) occurs and is continuing the Trustee by notice to any Company or the Holders of a series of Securities of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the applicable series under this
Indenture by written notice to any Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Amounts, if any, on all the
Securities of such series under this Indenture to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Amounts, if any, will be due and payable immediately. In the event of a
declaration of acceleration of the Securities of such series because an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(a)(iv) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of such Securities shall be automatically annulled if the
event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default 

  
 43 












 
pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(iv shall be remedied or cured, or waived by the holders of a majority in interest of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such
Securities of such series under this Indenture, or the Indebtedness that gave rise to such Event of Default shall have been discharged in full, within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment
of the acceleration of such Securities would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest, including Additional
Amounts, if any, on such Securities that became due solely because of the acceleration of such Securities, have been cured or waived. 
 (b)
If an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(a)(v) above occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Amounts, if any, on all the Securities of a series will become and
be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. 
 Section 7.03.
Other Remedies. Subject to the duties of the Trustee as provided for in Article XI, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities
or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does
not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder 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. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 

Section 7.04. Trustee as Attorney-in-Fact. The
Trustee is hereby appointed, and each and every Holder of the Securities, by receiving and holding the same, shall be conclusively deemed to have appointed the Trustee, the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Holder, with authority to make or file (whether or not the Companies shall be in Default in respect of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the
Securities), in its own name and as trustee of an express trust or otherwise as it shall deem advisable, in any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization or other judicial proceeding relative to the Companies or any other
obligor upon the Securities or to their respective creditors or property, any and all claims, proofs of claim, proofs of debt, petitions, consents, other papers and documents and amendments of any thereof, as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of the Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder and of the Holders of the Securities allowed in any such proceeding and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to
execute and deliver any and all other papers and documents and to do and perform any and all other acts and things, as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to enforce in any such proceeding any of the claims of the Trustee and any predecessor
trustee hereunder and of any of such Holders in respect of any of the Securities; and any receiver, assignee, trustee, custodian or debtor in any such proceeding is hereby authorized, and each and every taker or Holder of the Securities, by
receiving and holding the same, shall be conclusively deemed to have authorized any such receiver, assignee, trustee, custodian or debtor, to make any such payment or delivery only to or on the order of the Trustee,


  
 44 












 
and to pay to the Trustee any amount due it and any predecessor trustee hereunder under Section 11.01(a); provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize or
empower the Trustee to consent to or accept or adopt, on behalf of any Holder of Securities, any plan of reorganization or readjustment affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize or empower the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder of any Securities in any such proceeding. 
 Section 7.05. Priorities. Any moneys or
properties collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities under this Article VII shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys or properties and, in the case
of the distribution of such moneys or properties on account of the Securities of any series, upon presentation of the Securities of such series, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

 First: To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder under
Section 11.01(a). 
 Second: Subject to Article XV (to the extent applicable to any series of Securities then
outstanding), to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Outstanding Securities of such series in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Outstanding Securities for principal and any premium and interest, respectively. 

Any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Companies or as directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

Section 7.06. Control by Securityholders; Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities
of any series at the time Outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee hereunder, or of exercising any trust or power hereby conferred upon the Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Sections 11.01 and 11.02, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the action so
directed may not lawfully be taken or would be unduly prejudicial to Holders not joining in such direction or would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to any acceleration of the Maturity of the Securities of any series, the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of such series of Securities at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past or existing Default or Event of Default hereunder (except a Default in
the payment of interest or any premium on or the principal of, or Additional Amounts, if any, the Securities of such series) and rescind any such acceleration with respect to such Notes and its consequences if rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Upon any such waiver the Companies, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been 

  
 45 












 
waived as permitted by this Section 7.06, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Securities of such series and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be
not continuing. 
 Section 7.07. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute
any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity for the execution of any trust hereunder or for the appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy hereunder, in each case with respect to an Event of Default with respect to such series of
Securities, unless: 
 (a) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of one or more of the Events of Default herein
specified with respect to such series of Securities that is continuing; 
 (b) Holders of 30% or more in principal amount of the Securities
of such series then Outstanding shall have requested the Trustee in writing to take action in respect of the matter complained of; 
 (c)
such Holders have offered in writing the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby; 

(d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after receipt of such written notification, request and offer of security or
indemnity; and 
 (e) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the applicable series have
not given the Trustee a written direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period; 

it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever
by his, her, its or their action to enforce any right hereunder, except in the manner herein provided, and that every action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the
equal benefit of all Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series; provided, however, that nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities of such series shall affect or impair the obligation of the Companies, which are absolute
and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of such series to the respective Holders of such Securities at the respective due dates in such Securities stated, or affect or impair the right, which is
also absolute and unconditional, of such Holders to institute suit to enforce the payment thereof. 
 Section 7.08. Undertaking for
Costs. All parties to this Indenture and each Holder of any Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to have agreed that any court may in its discretion require, in any action, suit or proceeding for the enforcement of
any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any action, suit or proceeding against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such action, suit or proceeding of an undertaking to pay the
costs of such action, suit or proceeding, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such action, suit or proceeding, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 7.08 shall not apply to any action, suit or proceeding instituted


  
 46 












 
by the Trustee, to any action, suit or proceeding instituted by any one or more Holders of Securities holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities of any series
Outstanding, or to any action, suit or proceeding instituted by any Holder of Securities of any series for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or the interest on, any of the Securities of such series, on or after
the respective due dates expressed in such Securities. 
 Section 7.09. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities of any series is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of the Securities of any series to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or
power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Article VII to the Trustee and to the Holders of Securities of any series, respectively, may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities of such series, as the case may be. In case the Trustee or any Holder of Securities of any series shall have proceeded to enforce any
right under this Indenture and the proceedings for the enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of waiver or for any other reason or shall have been adjudicated adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder of Securities,
then and in every such case the Companies, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall severally and respectively be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of
the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken, except as to any matters so waived or adjudicated. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 CONCERNING
THE SECURITYHOLDERS 
 Section 8.01. Evidence of Action of Securityholders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that
the Holders of a specified percentage or a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities or of any series of Securities may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the
taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage or majority have joined therein may be evidenced by (a) any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor
executed by Securityholders in person, by an agent or by a proxy appointed in writing, including through an electronic system for tabulating consents operated by the Depositary for such series or otherwise (such action becoming effective, except as
herein otherwise expressly provided, when such instruments or evidence of electronic consents are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Companies), or (b) by the record of the Holders of Securities voting
in favor thereof at any meeting of Securityholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article IX, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Securityholders. 

  
 47 












 Section 8.02. Proof of Execution or Holding of Securities. Proof of the
execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or his, her or its agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner: 

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument may be proved (i) by the certificate of any notary public or
other officer in any jurisdiction who, by the laws thereof, has power to take acknowledgments or proof of deeds to be recorded within such jurisdiction, that the Person who signed such instrument did acknowledge before such notary public or other
officer the execution thereof, or (ii) by the affidavit of a witness of such execution sworn to before any such notary or other officer. Where such execution is by a Person acting in other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate
or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. 
 (b) The ownership of Securities of any series shall be
proved by the Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the Registrar for such series. 
 (c) The record of any Holders’
meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 9.06. 
 (d) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter
referred to in this Section 8.02 as it shall deem appropriate or necessary, so long as the request is a reasonable one. 
 (e) If the
Companies shall solicit from the Holders of Securities of any series any action, the Companies may, at their option fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Securities entitled to take such action, but the Companies shall
have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the Companies’ discretion. If such a record date is fixed, such action may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of Securities of record at
the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders of Securities for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of such series have authorized or agreed or consented to such
action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities of such series shall be computed as of such record date. 
 Section 8.03.
Persons Deemed Owners. 
 (a) The Companies, the Trustee and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name any Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.08) interest, if any, on, such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Security be overdue, and neither the Companies, the Trustee nor any of their agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary. All payments made to any Holder, or upon his, her or its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums
paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon such Security. 
 (b) None of the Companies, the Trustee, or
any of their agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 

  
 48 












 Section 8.04. Effect of Consents. After an amendment, supplement, waiver or
other action becomes effective as to any series of Securities, a consent to it by a Holder of such series of Securities is a continuing consent conclusive and binding upon such Holder and every subsequent Holder of the same Securities or portion
thereof, and of any Security issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Security. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its
terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Securities. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Securityholders shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any
representatives of the Companies and their counsel. 
 Section 9.05. Regulation of Meetings. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any
meeting of Securityholders, in regard to proof of the holding of Securities and of the appointment of proxies, and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other
evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem fit. 
 (b) The Trustee shall,
by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Companies or by Securityholders as provided in Section 9.03, in which case the Companies or the Securityholders calling
the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chair. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by majority vote of the meeting. 

(c) At any meeting of Securityholders of a series, each Securityholder of such series of such Securityholder’s proxy shall be entitled to
one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities of such series Outstanding held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled
by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of Securities of such series held by him or her or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating him or her as
the Person to vote on behalf of other Securityholders. At any meeting of the Securityholders duly called pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.02 or 9.03, the presence of Persons holding or representing Securities in an aggregate principal
amount sufficient to take action upon the business for the transaction of which such meeting was called shall be necessary to constitute a quorum, and any such meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of those present, whether or not
constituting a quorum, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice. 
 Section 9.06. Voting. The vote
upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Securityholders of a series shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the principal
amounts of the Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file
with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Securityholders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there
shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any 

  
 50 












 
vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more Persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was mailed as
provided in Section 9.02. The record shall show the principal amounts of the Securities voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the
meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Companies and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee. 
 Any
record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated. 
 Section 9.07. No Delay of Rights by
Meeting. Nothing contained in this Article IX shall be deemed or construed to authorize or permit, by reason of any call of a meeting of Securityholders of any series or any rights expressly or impliedly conferred hereunder to make such call,
any hindrance or delay in the exercise of any right or rights conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Securityholders of such series under any of the provisions of this Indenture or of the Securities of such series.

 51 












 
the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a) to the extent applicable. Reports, information and documents filed with the SEC via the EDGAR system will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee

this Section 10.02 are subject, in their entirety, to the provisions of Section 7.01. 
 Section 10.03.

similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; 
 provided, however, that so long as the
Trustee shall be the Registrar, such lists shall not be required to be furnished. 
 ARTICLE XI 

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 

Section 11.01. Rights of Trustees; Compensation and Indemnity. The Trustee accepts the trusts created by this Indenture upon the
terms and conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the parties hereto and the Holders from time to time of the Securities agree: 

(a) The Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Companies and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for all
services rendered by it hereunder (including in any agent capacity in which it acts). The compensation of the Trustee shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Companies shall
reimburse the Trustee promptly upon its request for all reasonable and 

  
 52 












 
documented out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee (including the
reasonable and documented expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its own negligence or willful misconduct. 

The Companies and the Parent Guarantor, jointly and severally, also agree to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee
hereunder for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or any other expense, charges or fees incurred without its own negligence or willful misconduct, arising out of or
in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder and the performance of its duties (including in any agent capacity in which it acts), as well as the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim
(whether asserted by a Company, the Parent Guarantor, a Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder (including with respect to enforcement of its rights to
indemnity hereunder), except those attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Companies promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Companies shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall
cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel of its selection and the Companies shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Companies need not pay for any settlement made without its consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 As security for the performance of the obligations of the Companies and Parent
Guarantor under this Section 11.01(a), the Trustee shall have a lien upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust by the Trustee to pay principal of and interest on any Securities.
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the obligations of the Companies to compensate and indemnify the Trustee under this Section 11.01(a) shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the termination of
this Indenture and any satisfaction and discharge under Article XII, and the Trustee shall continue to be entitled to the lien provided in Section this 11.01(a). When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default
specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 7.01 occurs, the expenses and compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws. 

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

(c) The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the correctness of the recitals herein or in the Securities (except its
certificates of authentication thereon) contained, all of which are made solely by the Companies; and the Trustee shall not be responsible or accountable in any manner whatsoever for or with respect to the validity or execution or sufficiency of
this Indenture or of the Securities (except its certificates of authentication thereon), and the Trustee makes no representation with respect thereto, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this
Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in a Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Companies are true and accurate,
subject to 

  
 53 












 
the qualifications set forth therein. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Companies of any Securities, or the proceeds of any Securities, authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees agents or affiliates shall be responsible for nor have any duty to monitor the performance or action of
the Companies, the Parent Guarantor, nor any of their respective directors, members, officers, agents affiliates or employees, nor shall it have any liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by such party. The Trustee shall have no
duty to inquire, and no duty to determine or monitor as to the performance of the covenants in this Indenture and the financial performance of the Companies and the Parent Guarantor; the Trustee shall be entitled to assume, unless it has received
written notice in accordance with this Indenture, that the Companies and the Parent Guarantor are properly performing their respective duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any inaccuracy in the information obtained from the
Companies or for any inaccuracy or omission in the records which may result from such information or any failure by the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein as a result of any such inaccuracy or incompleteness. 

(d) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and, to the extent permitted by Section 11.02, any advice or Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by the Trustee hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel. 

(e) The Trustee, to the extent permitted by Section 11.02, may conclusively rely upon the certificate of the Secretary or one of the
Assistant Secretaries of the Companies as to the adoption of any Board Resolution or resolution of the shareholders of the Companies, and any request, direction, order or demand of the Companies mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by,
and whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon, an Officer’s
Certificate of the Companies (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed). 
 (f) Subject to
Section 11.04, the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the
Companies with the same rights it would have had if it were not the Trustee or such agent. 
 (g) Money held by the Trustee in trust
hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Companies. 

(h) Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof at the request or with the consent of any Person who at the time is the
Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding in respect of such Security upon all future Holders thereof or of any Security or Securities which may be issued for or in lieu thereof in whole or in part, whether or not such Security shall
have noted thereon the fact that such request or consent had been made or given. 

  
 54 












 (i) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02, the Trustee may conclusively rely and
shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. 
 (j) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02, the
Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of the Securities, pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, unless one or
more of the Holders of the Securities shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by it therein or thereby. 

(k) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02, the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and
believed by it to be authorized or within its discretion or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (l) Subject
to the provisions of Section 11.02, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless the Holders of not less than
25% of the Outstanding Securities notify the Trustee thereof at the Corporate Trust Office and such notice references this Indenture and the Securities and states that it is a notice of Default or an Event of Default. 

(m) Subject to the provisions of the first paragraph of Section 11.02, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of Indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, may, but
shall not be required to, make further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit. 
 (n) 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. 

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

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

(q) The Trustee may request that the Companies deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 
 (r) The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things
enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and, with respect to such permissive rights, the Trustee shall not be answerable other than for its negligence or willful misconduct. 

  
 55 












 Section 11.02. Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If one or more of the Events of Default specified in Section 7.01 with respect to the Securities of any series shall have happened,
then, during the continuance thereof, the Trustee shall, with respect to such Securities, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 
 (b) None of the provisions of this
Indenture shall be construed as relieving the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that, anything in this Indenture contained to the contrary notwithstanding, 

(i) unless and until an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01 with respect to the Securities of any series shall have
happened which at the time is continuing, 
 (A) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties with
respect to the Securities of that series as are specifically set out in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee, whose duties and obligations shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Indenture; and 
 (B) the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, upon certificates and opinions furnished to it pursuant to the express provisions of this Indenture; but in the case
of any such certificates or opinions which, by the provisions of this Indenture, are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts, statements, opinions or conclusions stated therein); 

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

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable to any Holder of Securities or to any other Person with respect to any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith, in accordance with the direction of Securityholders given as provided in Section 7.06, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to it or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (c) None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

  
 56 












 (d) The Trustee may refrain from taking any action in any jurisdiction if the taking of such
action in that jurisdiction would, in its opinion, based upon legal advice in the relevant jurisdiction, be contrary to any law of that jurisdiction or, to the extent applicable, the State of New York. Furthermore, the Trustee may also refrain from
taking such action if it would otherwise render it liable to any person in that jurisdiction, or, to the extent applicable, the State of New York or if it is determined by any court or other competent authority in that jurisdiction, or, to the
extent applicable, in the State of New York, that it does not have such power. 
 (e) The Trustee may act through attorneys and agents and
shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care. 
 (f) In the event the Trustee receives
inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders, each representing less than the requisite majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the
Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, shall be taken and shall be held harmless and shall not incur any liability for its failure to act until such inconsistency or conflict is, in its reasonable opinion, resolved. 

(g) The Trustee shall not have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance, and shall not be responsible or
liable for compliance with restrictions on transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of minimum denominations imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law or regulation with respect to any transfer, exchange,
redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of any interest in any Securities. 
 (h) The Trustee shall not be required to give any
bond or surety with respect to the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers under this Indenture. 
 (i) Anything in this
Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action 
 (j) The Trustee may assume without inquiry in the absence of
actual knowledge that the Companies are each duly complying with their obligations contained in this Indenture required to be performed and observed by them, and that no Default or Event of Default or other event which would require repayment of any
series of the Securities has occurred. 
 (k) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to
the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 11.02. 

Section 11.03. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default with respect to a series of Securities occurs and is
continuing and the Trustee is informed of such occurrence by any Company, the Trustee must give notice of the Default or Event of Default to the Holders of the 

  
 57 












 
applicable series within 60 days after being notified by any Company, by transmitting such notice to Holders at their addresses as the same shall then appear on the Register of the Companies,
unless such Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice (the term “Default” being hereby defined to be the events specified in Section 7.01, which are, or after notice or lapse of time or both would
become, Events of Default as defined in said Section). Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of such series when and as the same shall become
payable, or to make any sinking fund payment as to Securities of the same series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice, if and so long as a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that
the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities of such series. 
 Section 11.04. Eligibility;
Disqualification. 
 (a) The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a). The Trustee shall have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition, and shall have a Corporate Trust Office. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 11.04, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 

(b) The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of
TIA Section 310(b)(i) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Companies are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA
Section 310(b)(i) are met. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the
manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. If Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act is amended any time after the date of this Indenture to change the circumstances under which a
Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest with respect to the Securities of any series or to change any of the definitions in connection therewith, this Section 11.04 shall be automatically amended to incorporate such changes. 

Section 11.05. Resignation and Notice; Removal. The Trustee, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may at any time resign
and be discharged of the trusts hereby created with respect to any one or more or all series of Securities by giving to the Companies notice in writing. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Trustee and the
acceptance of such appointment by such successor Trustee. Any Trustee hereunder may be removed with respect to any series of Securities at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice by delivering to the Trustee and to the Companies an
instrument or instruments in writing signed by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding, specifying such removal and the date when it shall become effective. 

If at any time: 
 (1) the
Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Companies or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months (or, if it is a shorter period, the
period since the initial issuance of the Securities of such series), or 

  
 58 












 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 11.04 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Companies or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months (or, if it is a shorter period, the period since the initial issuance of the Securities of such series), or 

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

then, in any such case, (i) the Companies by written notice to the Trustee may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all
Securities, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months (or, if it is a shorter period, the period since the initial issuance of the Securities of such
series) may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 

In addition, the Companies may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of any series without cause if the Companies give written notice
to the Trustee of such proposed removal at least three months in advance of the proposed effective date of such removal. 
 Upon its
resignation or removal, any Trustee shall be entitled to the payment of reasonable compensation for the services rendered hereunder by such Trustee and to the payment of all reasonable expenses incurred hereunder and all moneys then due to it
hereunder. The Trustee’s rights to indemnification provided in Section 11.01(a) shall survive its resignation or removal and the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. The Trustee shall continue to be entitled to the lien provided in
Section 11.01(a) of this Indenture following its resignation or removal. 
 Section 11.06. Successor Trustee by
Appointment. 
 (a) In case at any time the Trustee shall resign, or shall be removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the
Trustee for any reason, with respect to Securities of any or all series, the Companies shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. However, if all or substantially all the assets of the Companies shall be in the possession of one or more custodians
or receivers lawfully appointed, or of trustees in bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings (including a trustee or trustees appointed under the provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted), or of assignees for the
benefit of creditors, such receivers, custodians, trustees or assignees, as the case may be, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any or all series. Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.04 and 11.05, upon
the appointment as aforesaid of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series shall cease to be Trustee hereunder. After any such appointment other than by the Holders of
Securities of any such series, the Person 

  
 59 












 
making such appointment shall forthwith cause notice thereof to be mailed to the Holders of Securities of such series at their addresses as the same shall then appear on the Register of the
Companies. Any failure of the Companies to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of such appointment. 

(b) If any Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall resign or be removed and a successor Trustee shall not have been
appointed by the Companies or, if any successor Trustee so appointed shall not have accepted its appointment within 30 days after such appointment shall have been made, the resigning Trustee at the expense of the Companies may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. If in any other case a successor Trustee shall not be appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.06 within three months after such appointment might have
been made hereunder, the Holder of any Security of the applicable series or any retiring Trustee at the expense of the Companies may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, in any such
case, after such notice, if any, as such court may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee. 
 (c) Any successor Trustee
appointed hereunder with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor Trustee and to the Companies, or to the receivers, trustees, assignees or court appointing it, as the case may be, an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and acknowledgement that it will be holding and exercising the lien provided in Section 11.01(a) for the benefit of the prior claims of the predecessor Trustee, and thereupon such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations with respect to such series of such predecessor Trustee with like effect as if originally
named as Trustee hereunder, and such predecessor Trustee, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to pay over, and such successor Trustee shall be entitled to receive, all moneys and properties
held by such predecessor Trustee as Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of such series, subject nevertheless to its lien provided for in Section 11.01(a). Nevertheless, on the written request of the Companies or of the successor
Trustee or of the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Securities of any such series then Outstanding, such predecessor Trustee, upon payment of its said charges and disbursements, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring
to such successor Trustee upon the trusts herein expressed all the rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and shall assign, transfer and deliver to the successor Trustee all moneys and
properties held by such predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, subject nevertheless to its lien provided for in Section 11.01(a); and, upon request of any such successor Trustee or the Companies shall make, execute,
acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations. 

Section 11.07. Successor Trustee by Merger. Any Person into which the Trustee or any successor to it in the trusts created by this
Indenture shall be merged or converted, or any Person with which it or any successor to it shall be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or any such successor to it shall be a party,
or any Person to which the Trustee or any successor to it shall sell or otherwise transfer all 

  
 60 












 
or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor Trustee under this Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto; provided that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article. In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture with respect to
one or more series of Securities, any of such Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered by the Trustee then in office, any successor to such Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver
such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right
to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. 

Section 11.08. Right to Rely on Officer’s Certificate. Subject to Section 11.02 and subject to the
provisions of Section 17.01 with respect to the certificates required thereby, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking or suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively
proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate with respect thereto delivered to the Trustee, and such Officer’s Certificate, in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the
Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. 

Section 11.09. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”)
acceptable to the Companies to authenticate the Securities, and the Trustee shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Unless limited by the
terms of such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by the Authenticating Agent. Securities so
authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. 

Each Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of the United
States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $200,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State
authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Article XI, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Article
XI, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article XI. 

  
 61 












 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an
Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Article XI, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the
Companies. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Companies. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in
case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.09, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Companies and shall give
written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all
the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 11.09.

 The Companies agree to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this
Section 11.09. 
 Section 11.10. Communications by Securityholders with Other Securityholders. Holders of Securities may
communicate pursuant to Section 312(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Securities. The Companies, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of
Section 312(c) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to such communications.

optional redemption in whole or in part, such agreement shall require the Companies to deposit with the Trustee on or before the date notice of redemption is given funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Securities to be redeemed
together with all unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. Upon such deposit of funds, the Trustee shall pay or deliver over to the Companies as excess funds pursuant to Section 12.04 all funds or obligations then held under such
agreement and allocable to the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of exercise of optional sinking fund payment rights by the Companies, such agreement shall, at the option of the Companies, provide that upon deposit by the Companies with the
Trustee of funds pursuant to such exercise the Trustee shall pay or deliver over to the Companies as excess funds pursuant to Section 12.04 all funds or obligations then held under such agreement for such series and allocable to the Securities
to be redeemed.

case may be, shall be repaid by the Trustee or such other Paying Agent to the Companies upon its written request and thereafter, anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, any rights of the Holders of Securities of such series in
respect of which such moneys shall have been deposited shall be enforceable only against the Companies, and all liability of the Trustee or such other Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereafter cease. 

(b) Subject to the provisions of the foregoing paragraph, any moneys which at any time shall be deposited by the Companies or on their behalf
with the Trustee or any other Paying Agent for the purpose of paying the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any of the Securities shall be and are hereby assigned, transferred and set over to the Trustee or such other Paying Agent in
trust for the respective Holders of the Securities for the purpose for which such moneys shall have been deposited

attach to, or be incurred by, any director, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder, as such, past, present or future, of the Companies or of any successor entities, either directly or through the Companies or any successor entities, because
of the incurring of the Indebtedness hereby authorized or under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants, promises or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities, or to be implied herefrom or therefrom, and that all
liability, if any, of that character against every such director, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder is, by the acceptance of the Securities and as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and
the issue of the Securities expressly waived and released.

discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into said supplemental indenture. In addition, in executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modification thereby of the
trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted
by this Indenture and that such supplemental indenture is a valid and binding obligation of the Companies, enforceable against the Companies in accordance with its terms.

rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Companies and the Holders of all of the Securities or of the Securities of any series affected, as the case may be, shall thereafter be determined, exercised and

 ARTICLE XV 

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES 

Section 15.01. Agreement to Subordinate. In the event a series of Securities is designated as subordinated pursuant to
Section 3.01, and except as otherwise provided in a Company Order or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, each of the Companies, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities of such
series by his, her or its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on each and all of the Securities of such series is hereby expressly subordinated, to the
extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. In the event a series of Securities is not designated as subordinated pursuant to Section 3.01(s), this Article XV
shall have no effect upon the Securities. 
 Section 15.02. Distribution on Dissolution, Liquidation and Reorganization; Subrogation
of Securities. Subject to Section 15.01, upon any distribution of assets of any of the Companies upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of such Company, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of such Company or otherwise (subject to the power of a court of competent jurisdiction to make other equitable
provision reflecting the rights conferred in this Indenture upon the Senior Indebtedness and the holders thereof with respect to the Securities and the holders thereof by a lawful plan of reorganization under applicable bankruptcy law): 

  
 72 












 (a) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of
the principal thereof (and premium, if any) and interest due thereon before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment upon the principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities;
and 
 (b) any payment or distribution of assets of such Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which
the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article XV shall be paid by the liquidation trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a
receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make
payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and 

(c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of such Company of any kind or character, whether
in cash, property or securities prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be paid over, upon written notice to a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee, to the holder of such Senior Indebtedness or his, her or its representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instrument evidencing any of such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, as calculated by such Company, for application to payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to
any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 
 (d) Subject to the payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness (to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to such holder have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness) to
receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of such Company applicable to Senior Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities shall be paid in full and no such payments or
distributions to the Holders of the Securities of cash, property or securities otherwise distributable to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall, as between such Company, its respective creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and
the Holders of the Securities be deemed to be a payment by such Company to or on account of the Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this Article XV are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the
Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article XV or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the
Companies, their respective creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Companies, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities as and when the same 

  
 73 












 
shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or to affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Companies other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or in the Securities prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under
this Article XV of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Companies received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Companies referred to in this Article
XV, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 15.05, shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee for the purpose of ascertaining
the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Companies, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereof and all other facts
pertinent thereto or to this Article XV. 
 Section 15.03. No Payment on Securities in Event of Default on Senior Indebtedness.
Subject to Section 15.01, no payment by the Companies on account of principal (or premium, if any), sinking funds or interest, if any, on the Securities shall be made at any time if: (i) a default on Senior Indebtedness exists that permits
the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to accelerate its maturity and (ii) the default is the subject of judicial proceedings or the Companies has received notice of such default. The Companies may resume payments on the Securities when full
payment of amounts then due for principal (premium, if any), sinking funds and interest on Senior Indebtedness has been made or duly provided for in money or money’s worth. 

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee when such payment is prohibited by the
preceding paragraph of this Section 15.03, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or
trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by such Company, but only to the extent that the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or
their representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing within 90 days of such payment of the amounts then due and owing on such Senior Indebtedness and only the amounts specified in such notice to the Trustee shall be
paid to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 
 Section 15.04. Payments on Securities Permitted. Subject to
Section 15.01, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall (a) affect the obligation of the Companies to make, or prevent the Companies from making, at any time except as provided in Sections 15.02 and 15.03,
payments of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities or (b) prevent the application by the Trustee of any moneys or assets deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office written notice of any fact prohibiting the making of such payment from the Companies or from the
holder of any Senior Indebtedness or from the trustee for any such holder, together with proof satisfactory to the Trustee of such holding of Senior Indebtedness or of the authority of such trustee more than two Business Days prior to the date fixed
for such payment. 

  
 74 












 Section 15.05. Authorization of Securityholders to Trustee to Effect
Subordination. Subject to Section 15.01, each Holder of Securities by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his, her or its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination
as provided in this Article XV and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 

Section 15.06. Notices to Trustee. The Companies shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any
fact known to the Companies that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies or assets to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities of any series pursuant to the provisions of this Article XV. Subject to Section 15.01,
notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XV or any other provisions of this Indenture, neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent (other than the Companies) shall be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness or of any
fact which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys or assets to or by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall have received (in the case of a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee) written notice thereof from the Companies or from the holder of any Senior Indebtedness or from the trustee for any such holder, together with proof satisfactory to the Trustee of such
holding of Senior Indebtedness or of the authority of such trustee and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled in all respects conclusively to presume that no such facts exist; provided, however,
that if at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys or assets may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of either the principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if
any, on any Security) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such moneys or assets the notice provided for in this Section 15.06, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys or assets and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within two Business Days
prior to such date. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such a
notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of
Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XV, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such
Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article XV and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 
 Section 15.07.
Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness. Subject to Section 15.01, the Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article XV in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it to
the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness and nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article XV shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee
under or pursuant to Sections 7.05 or 11.01. 

  
 75 












 Section 15.08. Modifications of Terms of Senior Indebtedness. Subject to
Section 15.01, any renewal or extension of the time of payment of any Senior Indebtedness or the exercise by the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any of their rights under any instrument creating or evidencing Senior Indebtedness, including,
without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, may be made or done all without notice to or assent from the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no compromise, alteration, amendment,
modification, extension, renewal or other change of, or waiver, consent or other action in respect of, any liability or obligation under or in respect of, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any indenture or other instrument under
which any Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or of such Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such release is in accordance with the provisions of any applicable document, shall in any way alter or affect any of the provisions of this Article XV or of
the Securities relating to the subordination thereof. 
 Section 15.09. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating
Agent. Subject to Section 15.01, upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Companies referred to in this Article XV, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree
entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy,
liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons
entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Companies, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts
pertinent thereto or to this Article XV. 
 Section 15.10. Satisfaction and Discharge; Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.
Subject to Section 15.01, amounts and U.S. Government Obligations deposited in trust with the Trustee pursuant to and in accordance with Article XII and not, at the time of such deposit, prohibited to be deposited under Sections 15.02 or 15.03
shall not be subject to this Article XV. 
 Section 15.11. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness. With
respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article XV, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness 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. The Trustee shall not be liable to any such holder if it shall pay
over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders of Securities or the Companies, or any other Person, moneys or assets to which any holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XV or otherwise. 

ARTICLE XVI 
 PARENT
GUARANTEE 
 Section 16.01. Parent Guarantee. 

  
 76 












 (a) The Parent Guarantor will hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee on a senior
basis, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder, the Trustee and their successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all
obligations of the Companies under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Securities of each series issued from time to time, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Securities and all other
monetary obligations of the Companies under this Indenture and such Securities and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Companies whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or
otherwise under this Indenture and such Securities (the foregoing obligations set forth in clauses (i) through (ii) being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Parent Guarantor further agrees that
the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from the Parent Guarantor, and that no extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation shall release the obligations of the Parent
Guarantor hereunder. The Parent Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Companies of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The Parent Guarantor waives notice of any
default under any series of Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right
or remedy against the Companies or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities of any series or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of this Indenture, the Securities of any series or any other agreement;
(iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities with respect to any series or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by the Trustee for any
Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations. The Parent Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have
the assets of the Companies first be used and depleted as payment of the Companies’ or the Parent Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by the Parent Guarantor hereunder. The Parent Guarantor
hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Companies be sued prior to an action being initiated against the Parent Guarantor. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that its Parent Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of
payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of any Guaranteed Obligations. 

(b) The Parent Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor is, to the extent and in the manner set forth herein, equal in right of payment to all
existing and future unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor and is made subject to such provisions of this Indenture. 

(c) Except as expressly set forth in Section 12.02 of this Indenture, the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall not be
subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Parent Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by 

  
 77 












 
the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities of any series or any other agreement, by any waiver or
modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any
extent vary the risk of the Parent Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Parent Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

(d) The Parent Guarantor agrees that its Parent Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed
Obligations. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that its Parent Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Companies or otherwise. 

(e) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder, or the Trustee has at law or in equity against
the Parent Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Companies to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to
perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, the Parent Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of
(i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of
either of the Companies to the Trustee. 
 (f) The Parent Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in
relation to the Trustee in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations with respect to any series of Securities guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one
hand, and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations with respect to any series of Securities guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VII for the purposes of the Parent Guarantee herein,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations with respect to any series of Securities guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration
of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article VII, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Parent Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 16.01. 

(g) The Parent Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred
by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 16.01. 
 (h) Upon request of the Trustee, the Parent Guarantor
shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Section 16.01. 

  
 78 












 Section 16.02. Successors and Assigns. This Article XVI shall be binding upon
the Parent Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and
privileges conferred upon that party in this Article XVI and in the applicable Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture. 

Section 16.03. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right,
power or privilege under this Indenture shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and
the Holders in this Indenture expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article XVI at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 

Section 16.04. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XVI, nor the consent to any
departure by the Parent Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for
which given. No notice to or demand on the Parent Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Parent Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 

Section 16.05. Non-Impairment. The failure to endorse the Parent Guarantee provided for
herein on any Security shall not affect or impair the validity thereof. 
 Section 16.06. Subordination of Parent Guarantee. If
designated as subordinated pursuant to Section 3.01, the Parent Guarantee may be subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor to the extent specified pursuant to such designation.

of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity and no interest shall accrue on such payment

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] 

Indenture. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Companies (herein called the “Securities”), issued and
to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of May 16, 2022, [as supplemented by a Supplemental Indenture dated                ,
20    ] (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), among the Companies, the Parent Guarantor and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term
includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the
Companies, the Parent Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially
limited in aggregate principal amount to $                . 

Guarantee. To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Companies
under the Indenture and the Securities when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, the Parent Guarantor will unconditionally guarantee
the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 
 Optional Redemption. The Securities of this series are subject to redemption at
the Companies’ option, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to                 . 

For purposes of determining the optional redemption price, the following definitions are applicable: 

Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each registered Holder of the Securities to
be redeemed. Unless the Companies default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions of the Securities called for redemption. If fewer than all of the Securities
are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select, not more than days prior to the Redemption Date, the particular Securities or portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Securities not previously called by such method as the Trustee deems fair
and appropriate in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. 
 Except as set forth above, the Securities will not be redeemable by the
Companies prior to maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. 
 Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

Amendment, Modification and Waiver. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of
the rights and obligations of the Companies and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Companies and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in 











 
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Companies with certain
provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. 
 Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this
Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture does not limit unsecured debt of the Companies or any of their
respective Subsidiaries. 
 Denominations, Transfer and Exchange. The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons
in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Securities of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the Registrar accompanied by a written request for transfer
in form satisfactory to the Companies and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for
the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Companies may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Companies, the Trustee and any agent of the
Companies or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Companies, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary. 
 Miscellaneous. This Indenture and this Security shall be deemed to be contracts made under the law of the State of New
York, and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of said State. 
 All terms used in this Security and not defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
