certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are

or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company or the Guarantors. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
“Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to
Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and the Guarantors, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine; and

Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. 
 (d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Securities of any series any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or 

  

 11 







 
other Act, the Company may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Securities entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the Company’s discretion. If not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a
Holder made by any Person in respect of any such matters referred to in the foregoing sentence, such record date shall be the date 30 days prior to such first solicitation of Holders. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent and waiver or other Act 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 Securities of such series Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, and for that purpose the Securities of such series Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement, consent, waiver or other Act by the Holders of Securities shall be deemed effective
unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than 180 days after the applicable record date. 
 (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of
transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent or the Company or any Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not
notation of such action is made upon such Security. 
 SECTION 1.05. Notices, Etc. to Trustee, Company and
Guarantors. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: 
 (i) the Trustee by any Holder or the Company or a Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, with a copy to: 100 Ashford Center North, Suite 520, Atlanta, Georgia 30338, Attention: Corporate Trust Department; or 
 (ii) the Company or a Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company at 942 South Shady Grove Road, Memphis, Tennessee 38120, Attention: Corporate Vice President and Treasurer (with a copy to the Executive Vice President and

 SECTION 1.06. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture or any
Security provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein or in such Security expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such
event, at the Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided. 
 Where this Indenture or any Security provides for notice in any manner, such
notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing
shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 In case by reason of the suspension
of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose
hereunder. 
 SECTION 1.07. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision of this Indenture limits,
qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under the Trust Indenture Act to be part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes
any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 1.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of
Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 SECTION 1.09. Successors and
Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company and the Guarantors shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
 SECTION 1.10. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 SECTION 1.11. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
  

 13 







 SECTION 1.12. Governing Law. This Indenture, the Securities and the
Guarantees shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof. 
 SECTION 1.13. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities other than a provision in any Security that specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) or any Additional Amounts
need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at the Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, and no interest shall
accrue with respect to such payments for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day. 
 SECTION 1.14. Language of Notices. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election or waiver
required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that, if the Company so elects, any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication (with a copy in English to be provided to the
Trustee). 
 SECTION 1.15. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in several counterparts, each of
which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 SECTION 1.16.
Exemption from Individual Liability. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or the Guarantees or in any Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be
had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director or employee, as such, past, present or future, of the Company, any Guarantor or any successor Corporation, either directly or through the Company or any Guarantor, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that this Indenture, the Guarantees and the obligations issued hereunder are solely corporate obligations, and that
no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, stockholders, officers, directors or employees, as such, of the Company, any Guarantor or any successor Corporation, or any of them, because of
the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or the Guarantees or in any of the Securities or implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal
liability of every name and nature, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every such 

  

 14 







 
incorporator, stockholder, officer, director or employee, as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of

Securities. If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of the Board Resolution shall be delivered to the Trustee at the same time as or prior to the delivery of the Officers’
Certificate setting forth the terms of the series. 
 Notwithstanding any contrary terms of this Section 3.01, the terms of the
Securities of any series may provide, without limitation, that the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to time upon telephonic or written order of persons designated in the Officers’
Certificate or supplemental indenture (telephonic instructions to be promptly confirmed in writing by such person) and that such persons are authorized to determine, consistent with such Officers’ Certificate or any applicable supplemental
indenture, such terms and conditions of the Securities of such series as are specified in such Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided
by the Company, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional 

  

 20 







 
Securities of such series or to establish additional terms of such series of Securities. 
 SECTION 3.02. Denominations. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the principal of, any premium and
interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities shall be payable in Dollars. The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified pursuant to
Section 3.01. In the absence of any such provision with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Securities not denominated in Dollars
shall be issuable in such denominations as are established with respect to such Securities in or pursuant to this Indenture. 
 SECTION 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, President or any Vice President, under its corporate seal
reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 
 Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were the proper officers of the Company when their signatures were affixed to such Securities shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with the
Guarantees of the Guarantors endorsed thereon, executed by the Company and the Guarantors to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities with the Guarantees endorsed thereon,
and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or indentures
supplemental hereto as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01, in authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, upon request,
and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon: 
 (a) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that: 
 (i) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such
form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
  

 21 







 (ii) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution as permitted by Section 3.01, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (iii) this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; and 
 (iv) that such
Securities and the Guarantees of the Guarantors endorsed thereon, when such Securities have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and subject to any other conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally
binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, respectively, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantors, respectively, in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and
will entitle the Holders thereof to the benefits of this Indenture; and 
 (b) an Officers’ Certificate stating that, to the best
knowledge of the person executing such certificate, no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time would become, an Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one
time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel, Officers’ Certificate or Company Order otherwise required hereunder at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at
or prior to the time of authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 
 Each Security shall be
dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by, or on behalf of, the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by manual signature of one of its authorized
signatories. Such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the
Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as 

  

 22 







 
provided in Section 3.09 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled to the benefits of
this Indenture. 
 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause an Authenticating Agent to authenticate any Securities if
the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights (including rights to be indemnified), duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee. 
 SECTION 3.04. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities
of any series and the Guarantees, the Company may execute and deliver to the Trustee, and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the manner provided in Section 3.03, temporary Securities with the Guarantees endorsed
thereon which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities of such series in lieu of which they are issued and with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in global form.

 If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities 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 the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency
of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations containing terms and provisions that are identical to those of any temporary Securities. 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 the same series. 
 SECTION 3.05. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the
Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of
Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. 
  

 23 







 The Company shall have the right to remove and replace from time to time the Security Registrar for any
series of Securities; provided that no such removal or replacement shall be effective until a successor Security Registrar with respect to such series of Securities shall have been appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such
appointment by the Company. In the event that the Trustee shall not be or shall cease to be Security Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times.
There shall be only one Security Register and one Security Registrar for each series of Securities. 
 Upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for such series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and containing identical terms and provisions. 
 At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series containing identical terms and provisions in any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities, with the
Guarantees endorsed thereon, which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Securities and Guarantees endorsed thereon
issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities with Guarantees of the Guarantors endorsed thereon shall be the respective valid obligations of the Company and the respective Guarantors, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to
the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities and Guarantees endorsed thereon surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 3.06 or 11.07 not involving any transfer. 
 Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 

  

 24 







 
days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series selected for redemption under Section 11.03 and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
 Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a
nominee thereof and delivered to the Depositary or a nominee thereof or a custodian therefor (including the Trustee), and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 
 Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global
Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Security, and the Depositary (or its nominee) shall be treated by the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, a
Guarantor or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, a Guarantor or the
Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary and its Agent Members or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security. 
 A Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a
nominee of the Depositary, 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. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, any Global Security of any series shall be
exchangeable for definitive Securities only if: (a) such Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as Depositary with respect to such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary with respect
to such Global Security ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after receipt of such notice or after it becomes aware of such
condition, as the case may be, or (b) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order providing that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable and the transfer thereof so registrable. 
 If the beneficial owners of interests in a Global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for definitive Securities as the result of an event
described in the preceding sentence, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the 

  

 25 







 
Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities with the Guarantees endorsed thereon in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant
to this Indenture, and of the same series, containing identical terms and in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so
exchanged, such Global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the Depositary and in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the Depositary (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied
by an Officers’ Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for
definitive Securities with the Guarantees endorsed thereon as described above without charge. 
 The Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such surrendered Global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor with the Guarantees endorsed
thereon as the portion of such Global Security to be exchanged, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before any selection of Securities of the same series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date. 
 Promptly following any
such exchange in part, such Global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such Depositary in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Security after the
close of business at the office or agency for such Security where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the next Interest Payment Date, or
(ii) any Special Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest shall not be payable on such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Security, but shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect
of such portion of such Global Security shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or if there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee such indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in
the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and 

  

 26 







 
deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series with the Guarantees endorsed thereon containing
identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any series and Guarantee issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute a separate obligation of the Company and the respective Guarantors, whether or not the
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series and Guarantees duly issued
hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section, as amended or supplemented pursuant to this Indenture, are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 SECTION 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Securities, any interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 
 Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with
respect to any series of Securities, any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called
“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case,
as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below: 
 (i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
the Person in whose name the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on 

  

 27 







 
a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount
proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment. Such money when deposited will be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the
date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the
Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities)
at the Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such
Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (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 Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in
any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the
proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Unless otherwise provided in
or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any particular series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, at the option of the Company, interest on Securities may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto
as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.05, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry
the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
  

 28 







 SECTION 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a
Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, a Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.07) interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to
such Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, a Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to
such Global Security, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company, a Guarantor or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the
Guarantors, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
 SECTION 3.09. Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer, exchange or conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and any such Securities, as well as Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The Company
may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever and may deliver to the Trustee (or to an Authenticating Agent for
delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall 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 or pursuant to this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its
customary procedures. 
 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 and interest on the Securities of any series for any partial period shall be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the number of days elapsed in any partial month. 
  

 29 







 SECTION 3.11. Paying Agent. Any Paying Agents will be identified in
accordance with Section 3.01, except for the Trustee, who has been appointed as Paying Agent for the Securities as provided in the definition of “Paying Agent” contained in Section 1.01. The Company may at any time
designate additional Paying Agents or rescind the designation of any Paying Agent; however, the Company at all times is required to maintain a Paying Agent in each Place of Payment for each series of Securities. 
 SECTION 3.12. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally
in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as
printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of
such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
 ARTICLE 4

 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 SECTION 4.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further
effect with respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Request (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities), and the Trustee on receipt of the Company Request, at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when:

 (A) have become due and payable, or 
  

 30

Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and the Company, in the case
of (A), (B) or (C) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, any premium and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Securities, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated
Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
 (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the
Company; and 
 (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, stating that all

 In the event there are Securities of two or more series hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to Securities of
such series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture with respect to the Securities of any series, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.07, the obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.14 and, if money shall have been deposited

Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section 10.06 (but only to the extent that any Additional Amounts payable with respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional
Amounts pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ii)), shall survive. 
 SECTION 4.02. Application of Trust Money.
Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 or Article 13 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities of the series for which such deposit was made and this Indenture, to the payment, either 

  

 31 







 
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of
the principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts for whose payment such money and Government Obligations has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money and Government Obligations need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law. 
 ARTICLE 5 
 REMEDIES 
 SECTION 5.01. Events of Default. “Event of Default,”

Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than such series) and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company and such Guarantor by
the Trustee or to the Company, such Guarantor and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be

making by any of them of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by any of them in writing of their inability to pay their respective debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company or
a 60% Subsidiary Guarantor in furtherance of any such action; or 
 (g) any other Event of Default provided pursuant to Section 3.01
with respect to Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If
an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of such series (or, if any Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms
thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable.

  

 33 







 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been
made and before a judgment or decree for the payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice to the
Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (i) the Company has paid or
deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 
 (A) all overdue installments of interest on and any Additional Amounts
with respect to all Securities of such series; 
 (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of such series
which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by the Securities of such series and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto; 
 (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest or Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne
by the Securities of such series; and 
 (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 
 (ii) all Events of Default
with respect to the Securities of such series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of such series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if: 
 (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Securities, or any Additional Amounts payable with respect thereto, when such
interest or Additional Amounts become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 
 (ii) default
is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Securities at the Maturity thereof, 
  

 34 







 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the
whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on
any overdue interest or Additional Amounts, at the rate or rates borne by such Securities and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts owing to the Trustee under Section 6.07. 
 If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon the demand of the Trustee, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sum so due and unpaid, may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property
of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any
series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series by such judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem appropriate to protect
and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

SECTION 5.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee
(irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any
overdue principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount (or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series) of principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in
respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
  

 35 







 (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a
trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee. 
 SECTION 5.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust and any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been
recovered. 
 SECTION 5.06. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee with respect to a
series of Securities pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts,
upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07; 
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and
unpaid for principal of and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts on the 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 Securities for 

  

 36 







 
principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts, respectively; and 
 THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or as directed by order of an arbitrator, court or governmental agency. 
 SECTION 5.07. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (i) such Holder has previously given
written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series; 
 (ii) the
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

 (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably acceptable to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceedings; and 
 (v) no direction inconsistent
with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series; 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Security to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or Holders of Securities of any other series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner
herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders. 
 SECTION 5.08. Unconditional Right of
Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, any premium
and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.07) interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute
suit for the enforcement of 

  

 37 







 
any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 5.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such
proceeding, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no
such proceeding had been instituted. 
 SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.
The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders
may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that: 
 (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or with such Securities; 
 (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction; and 
 (iii) subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.03, the Trustee need not take any action that the Trustee determines in good faith
would be prejudicial to the Holders of such series not consenting, would 

  

 38 







 
involve the Trustee in personal liability or would adversely affect its rights to be indemnified hereunder. 
 SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default: 
 (i) in the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of such
series, or 
 (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without
the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist
with respect to such series, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent
thereon. 
 SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any
Security by acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any
Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in
the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 
 SECTION 5.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each
of the Company and the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Company and the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any 

  

 39 







 
power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE 6 
 THE
TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 6.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) The duties and
responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act and as set forth herein. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, 
 (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its
part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the
case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of
this Indenture. 
 (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 
 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to
act, or its own willful misconduct; except that: 
 (i) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of
Subsection (a) of this Section; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 (iii)
the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series relating to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or 

  

 40 







 
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and 
 (iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
 SECTION 6.02. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities
of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a
default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on or any Additional Amount or sinking fund installment with respect to, any Security of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if
and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of
such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.01(d) with respect to the Securities of such series no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 60 days after
the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. 

SECTION 6.03. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01: 
 (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
 (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of
the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
  

 41 







 (c) 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 (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;

 (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
 (e) the Trustee
shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or
indemnity reasonably acceptable to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in compliance with such request or direction; 
 (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or
matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall reasonably determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine during business hours and upon reasonable notice, the relevant books, records and premises of
the Company, personally or by agent or attorney and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation; 
 (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or
negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; 
 (h) the rights, privileges, immunities and
benefits given to the Trustee hereunder, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder; and 
 (i) the Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default or Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of any series, except an Event of Default under Section 501(a), (b) or (c) (provided that the Trustee is the Paying Agent with respect to the Securities of such series), unless (A) a Responsible Officer has actual
knowledge of such default or Event of Default or (B) written notice of such default or Event of Default has been given to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office by the 

  

 42 







 
Company or by any Holder in accordance with the provisions hereof and such notice references the Securities of such series and this Indenture. 
 SECTION 6.04. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the
Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities or the Guarantees, 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 and Qualification on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true and accurate in all material respects, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. The
Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
 SECTION 6.05. May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the
owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

 SECTION 6.06. Money Held in Trust. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, 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 with the Company.

 SECTION 6.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees: 
 (i) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in such amounts as the
Company and the Trustee shall agree in writing from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
 (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or
advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; and 
  

 43 







 (iii) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability
or expense, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder,
including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense was
due to the Trustee’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. 
 The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for
which it may seek indemnity under this Section 6.07. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and, in the event the subject matter of the claim involves a conflict
of interest between the Company and the Trustee, the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent. 
 If the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) or (f), the expenses so incurred and the
compensation for services so rendered are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors. 
 The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture. 
 SECTION 6.08. Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting
interest within the meaning 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. The
following indentures shall be considered specifically described herein for purposes of clause (i) of the proviso contained in Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act: (i) indenture dated as of February 12, 2001 among FedEx
Corporation, as issuer, the Guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York, as trustee; and (ii) indenture dated as of May 15, 1989 between Federal Express Corporation, as issuer, and The Bank of New York, as successor trustee.

 SECTION 6.09. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder
which shall: 
 (i) be a Corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers; 
  

 44 







 (ii) be eligible under Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee
under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; and 
 (iii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100,000,000 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 Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus
as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter
specified in this Article. 
 SECTION 6.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No
resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of
Section 6.11 and of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more
series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation,
the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by the Company or by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered
to the Trustee, and to the Company in the case of an Act of the Holders. 
 (d) If at any time: 
 (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the obligations imposed upon it under Section 6.08 with respect to the Securities of any
series after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder; or 
  

 45 







 (iii) 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 Company, by or pursuant to a Company Order, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or the Securities of such
series, or (ii) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 (e) If the
Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Company Order, shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any
time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. 
 If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of 75%
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 
 If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment
in the manner required by Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 (f) The Company shall give notice
of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the 

  

 46 







 
Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate
Trust Office. 
 SECTION 6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. (a) In case of the appointment
hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the
request of the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 
 (b) In case of
the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and such successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and
deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which, 
 (i) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, such successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, 
 (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all
Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring
Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and 
 (iii) shall add to or change any of the
provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, 
 it
being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or
trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee. 
 Upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent 

  

 47 







 
provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 
 (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
 SECTION 6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Corporation into which the Trustee may
be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to or purchasing all or substantially all the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
 SECTION 6.13. Preferential Claims. Reference is made to Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). For purposes of Section 311(b)(4) and (6) of such
Act: 
 (i) “cash transaction” means any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is
required to be made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand; and 
 (ii) “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn,
negotiated or incurred by the Company (or any such obligor) for the purpose of financing the 

  

 48 







 
purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to,
possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee
simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the Company (or any such obligor) arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation. 
 SECTION 6.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with
respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issuance and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof
or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. 
 Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a Corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent,
having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
this Section. 
 Any Corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating
Agent, shall be the successor Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided that such Corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent. 
  

 49 







 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ written notice thereof to the
Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a
termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall
mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any
successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor
Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Company agrees to pay to each
Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 
 If an Authenticating Agent is
appointed with respect to one or more series pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the
following form: 
 This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned
Indenture.

after the same is so required to be filed with the Commission. Delivery of any such reports, information and documents by the Company (or any Guarantor) to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall
not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee acknowledges and agrees that materials transmitted electronically by the Company (or any Guarantor) to the Trustee shall be deemed filed with the Trustee for purposes of this
Section 7.04. 
 ARTICLE 8

 56 







 ARTICLE 10 
 COVENANTS 
 SECTION 10.01. Payment of Principal and Any Premium,
Interest and Additional Amounts. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of, any premium and interest on and any Additional Amounts with
respect to the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. 
 SECTION 10.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered
for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where Securities of such series that are convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series and this Indenture may be served. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company hereby designates as the Place of
Payment for each series of Securities the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, and the Company initially appoints the Trustee, acting through its Corporate Trust Office, as its agent for said purpose. The Company 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 Company 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 Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be
presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain
an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office
or agency. 
 Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, if and so long as the Securities of
any series (i) are denominated in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of
Securities, or as so required, at least one exchange rate agent. 
  

 57 







 SECTION 10.03. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the
Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any of the Securities of
such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have
one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities of such series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum
sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly
notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than
the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 
 (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to
Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture; 
 (ii) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the making of any
payment of principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series; and 
 (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company
Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent;
and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
  

 58 







 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or received by the Trustee (or another trustee
satisfying the requirements of Section 6.09) in respect of Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee (or such other trustee) pursuant to Section 13.04, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, any
premium or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on
Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust. The Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or
such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may
publish, at the Company’s expense, in the English language, in a newspaper customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New York, New York, or to be mailed to such Holder, or both, notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the earlier of the date of such publication or such mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

 SECTION 10.04. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article 8, the Company will do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Company to preserve any such right or
franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business. 
 SECTION 10.05. Statement as to Default. If any Securities are Outstanding under this Indenture, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the date
hereof, an Officers’ Certificate stating as to whether or not to such officer’s knowledge the Company is in compliance (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice) with all conditions and covenants of this Indenture.
The officer executing such certificate shall be the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer and such certificate need not comply with Section 1.02 of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 10.06. Additional Amounts. If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company
agrees to pay to the Holder of any such Security Additional Amounts as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or such Securities. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or
interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such
context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to 
  

 59 







 such terms, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be
construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
 Except as otherwise provided
in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of the applicable series, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to such series of
Securities (or if the Securities of such series shall not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal or interest if there has been any
change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such
Paying Agent whether such payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities of such series shall be made to Holders of Securities of such series who are United States aliens (as demonstrated by delivery of appropriate tax forms)
without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of such series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the
amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities, and the Company agrees to pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities. 
 SECTION 10.07. Application of Proceeds upon Release of a 10% Subsidiary Guarantor. The Company will not enter into any
transaction which would result in the release pursuant to Section 12.04(a) of the Guarantee of any Guarantor which would be a 10% Subsidiary Guarantor on the date such Guarantee is released, unless at least 75% of the proceeds from such
transaction consist of any combination of: (i) cash (including assumption by the acquiror of any Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries) or Readily Marketable Securities, (ii) property or assets (other than current assets) of a
nature or type similar or related to the nature or type of the property or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries existing on the date such transaction is consummated and (iii) interests in Persons or businesses having property or assets or
engaged in businesses similar or related to the nature or type of the property or assets or businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries on the date such transaction is consummated. In the event that the net proceeds from the sale or other
disposition of a 10% Subsidiary Guarantor consist of cash or Readily Marketable Securities, the Company shall apply, within 12 months of the consummation of such sale or other disposition, an amount equal to 100% of the fair market value, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, of such net proceeds to (i) repay unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor, in each case owing to a Person other than an Affiliate of the Company, (ii) invest in
property or assets (other than current assets) of a nature or type similar or related to the nature or type of the property or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries existing on the date of such investment or (iii) invest in a Person or
business 

  

 60 







 
having property or assets or engaged in a business similar or related to the nature or type of the property or assets or businesses of the Company and its
Subsidiaries on the date of such investment. 
 SECTION 10.08. Waiver of Certain Covenants. Except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant
provided pursuant to Section 3.01(xvi), 9.01(b) or 9.01(j) for the benefit of the Holders of such series or in Section 10.04, if the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by
Act of such Holders, either waive compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent expressly waived,
and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
 ARTICLE 11 
 REDEMPTION
OF SECURITIES 
 SECTION 11.01. Applicability of Article. Securities of any series
which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article 11. 
 SECTION 11.02. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced
by a Company Order or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the
Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be
redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company
which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition. 

SECTION 11.03. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of any series are to be
redeemed (unless all of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to
the Redemption Date 

  

 61 







 
by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate 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. If less than all of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security),
the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with
the preceding sentence. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the
case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 The provisions of the two preceding
paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of
the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. 
 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 Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the
principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 11.04. Notice of Redemption.
Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at the Holder’s address appearing in the Security
Register. If mailed in the manner herein provided, such notice shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. Failure to give notice by mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of
any Securities designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities or portion thereof. 
 All notices of redemption shall state: 
 (i) the Redemption Date; 
 (ii) the Redemption Price; 
 (iii) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the 

  

 62 







 
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if
less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed; 
 (iv) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof to be
redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date; 
 (v) the place or places
where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; 
 (vi) that the redemption is for a sinking
fund, if such is the case; 
 (vii) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, that on and after the Redemption
Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder of such Security will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed; and 
 (viii) subject to the provisions of Section 3.12, the CUSIP number, if any, of the Securities to be redeemed. 
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, on Company Request, by the Trustee in
the name and at the expense of the Company. 
 SECTION 11.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or before any
Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 SECTION 11.06. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and
payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for
redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.01, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, 

  

 63 







 
registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular or Special Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.

 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any)
shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security. 
 SECTION 11.07.
Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at an office or agency of the Company at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor 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. 
 If a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Depositary, 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.

 ARTICLE 12 
 GUARANTEE OF SECURITIES 
 SECTION 12.01. Unconditional
Guarantee. Each of the Guarantors hereby fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantees to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the
validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities will be duly and
punctually paid in full when due, whether at maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or otherwise, and (to the extent permitted by law) interest on the overdue principal, premium and interest, if any, on the Securities and all other obligations
of the Company or the Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including fees, expenses or other) and all other obligations under this Indenture or the Securities will be duly and punctually paid in full or performed, all in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other obligations under this Indenture or the Securities or any change in the time, manner or place of
payment of, or in any other term in respect thereof, or waiver of or consent to any departure from any other agreement relating to any obligations under this Indenture or the Securities, the same will be duly and punctually paid in full when due or
performed in 

  

 64 







 
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so
guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Company to the Holders, for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this
Indenture or the Securities shall constitute an event of default under this Guarantee and shall entitle the Holders of Securities to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations
of the Company. 
 The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, not subject to any
reduction, limitation, impairment, termination, defense, offset, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever (all of which are expressly hereby waived by the Guarantors) whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever, including any claim of
waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, or by reason of any liability at any time to any Guarantor or otherwise, whether based upon any obligations or any other agreement or otherwise, and howsoever arising, whether out of action or
inaction or otherwise and whether resulting from default, willful misconduct, negligence or otherwise, and without limiting the foregoing, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of
any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same, any release or amendment or
waiver of or consent to any departure from or failure to enforce any other guarantee, for all or any of the Securities or other obligations under this Indenture, whether or not a Guarantee is affixed to any particular Security, any insolvency,
bankruptcy, reorganization or dissolution, or any other proceeding of the Company, or any Guarantor, including rejection of any Guarantee in such bankruptcy or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of a guarantor. 
 Each Guarantor hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a
court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Securities, this Indenture and this Guarantee. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the
Company or to the Guarantors, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee to the
extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Securities and the Trustee, on the other hand (a) subject to this Article 12,
the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 5 hereof 

  

 65 







 
for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 5 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this
Guarantee. 
 SECTION 12.02. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in
Section 12.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall execute a Guarantee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and that a notation of such Guarantee shall be endorsed on each Security authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer of such Guarantor. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its
Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Guarantee. 
 If an officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Security or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s
Guarantee of such Security shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof
hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 SECTION 12.03. Future Guarantors. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall cause each Person that becomes a Guarantor hereunder after the date hereof to execute and deliver to the Trustee an indenture
supplemental hereto, substantially in the form of Schedule II attached hereto, evidencing the same. 
 SECTION 12.04.
Release of a Guarantor. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.07, upon the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition (by merger or otherwise), other than a lease, of a Guarantor, or of all of the Capital Stock of a
Guarantor, or all, or substantially all, the assets of a Guarantor, to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, such Guarantor shall be deemed to be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all its obligations under
its Guarantee and under this Article 12 without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release and discharge upon receipt of a Company Request
accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to the compliance with this Section 12.04(a). 
 (b) The Company may, at its
option, at any time and from time to time, cause any Guarantor (other than any Specified Guarantor) to be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all its obligations under its Guarantee and under this Article 12 upon delivery
by the Company to 

  

 66 







 
the Trustee of a Company Order relating to such release and discharge. The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release and
discharge upon receipt of a Company Request accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to the compliance with this Section 12.04(b). 
 SECTION 12.05. Waiver of Subrogation. Until this Indenture is discharged and all of the Securities are discharged and paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to
exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Securities or this Indenture and such
Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee and this Indenture, in any such instance including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy against the
Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other
manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders of Securities under the Securities, this
Indenture, or any other document or instrument delivered under or in connection with such agreements or instruments, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and
held in the trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Securities, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied to the Securities, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms
of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 12.05 is knowingly made in
contemplation of such benefits. 
 SECTION 12.06. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent
Regarding Dissolution, Etc. of Guarantors. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor referred to in this Article 12, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, and the Holders, shall be entitled to 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, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled
to participate in such payment or distribution, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 12. 
 SECTION 12.07. Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, each Guarantor, and by
its acceptance hereof each Holder, 

  

 67 







 
hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee does not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state or foreign law. To effectuate the foregoing intention,
each Holder and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor,
will result in the obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 SECTION 12.08. Obligations Reinstated. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment which would otherwise have
reduced the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Company) is rescinded or reclaimed from any of the Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the
Company or such Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Company is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, all
such Indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor as provided herein. 
 SECTION 12.09. No Obligation to Take Action Against the Company. Neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps under any
security for the obligations under this Indenture or against the Company or any other Person or any property of the Company or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by any Guarantor of its liabilities and
obligations under its Guarantee or under this Indenture. 
 ARTICLE 13 
 DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 13.01. Applicability of Article; Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. If pursuant to Section 3.01 provision is made for either or both of (a) defeasance of the
Securities of or within a series under Section 13.02 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 13.03 to apply to Securities of such series, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the
case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article 13 (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities, and the Company may at its
option, at any time, with respect to such Securities, elect to have either Section 13.02 (if applicable) or Section 13.03 

  

 68 







 
(if applicable) be applied to such Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 13. 
 SECTION 13.02. Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this
Section 13.02 applied to any Securities of or within a series, as the case may be, the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities on the date
the conditions set forth in Section 13.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). 
 For this purpose, such
defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such
Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (a) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.04 and as more fully set
forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Securities when such payments are due, and any rights of such Holder to convert or
exchange such Securities for other securities or property; 
 (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under
Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 6.07, 10.02, 10.03 and 10.06 (but only to the extent that any Additional Amounts payable with respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 13.04(a)
below); 
 (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder; and 
 (d) this Article 13. 
 Subject to compliance
with this Article 13, the Company may exercise its option (if any) under this Section 13.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) under Section 13.03 with respect to such Securities. 
 SECTION 13.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section 13.03
applied to any Securities of or within a series, as the case may be, the Company and the Guarantors shall be released from their respective obligations provided pursuant to Section 3.01(xvi), 9.01(b) or 9.01(j) or under Sections 8.01, 10.05,
10.07, 12.05, 5.01(d) (as to Sections 8.01, 10.05 and 10.07), 5.01(e), 5.01(f) and 5.01(g) (if Section 5.01(g) is specified as applicable to such Securities) with respect to such Outstanding Securities on 

  

 69 







 
and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”). 
 For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply
with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in
any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. Following a covenant defeasance, payment of such Securities may not be accelerated because
of an Event of Default specified above in this Section 13.03. 
 SECTION 13.04. Conditions to Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 13.02 or Section 13.03 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series: 
 (a) The Company shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of
Section 6.09 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article 13 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit
of the Holders of such Securities, (1) an amount in Dollars or in such Foreign Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity, or (2) Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of
principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide not later than one day before the due date of any payment referred to below, money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient,
without reinvestment, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installments of principal or interest and (ii) any
mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities. Before such a deposit, the
Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of any Securities of or within a series at a future date in accordance with any redemption provisions contained in the supplemental indenture relating to such series of
Securities, which shall be given effect in applying the foregoing. 
 (b) No Event of Default or event with which notice of lapse of time or
both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and, with respect to defeasance only, at any time during the period ending on the 123rd day after the 

  

 70 







 
date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period). 
 (c) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming
all such Securities are in default within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act). 
 (d) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not
result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. 
 (e) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause any Securities of such series then listed on any registered national securities exchange under
the Exchange Act to be delisted. 
 (f) In the case of an election under Section 13.02, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this instrument there has been a change in the applicable federal income
tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will
be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred. 
 (g) In the case of an election under Section 13.03, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income,
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had
not occurred. 
 (h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in
compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.01. 
 (i) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to either the defeasance
under Section 13.02 or the covenant defeasance under Section 13.03 (as the case may be) have been complied with. 
 SECTION 13.05. Deposited Money and Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and Government
Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying

trustee—collectively, solely for purposes of this Section, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 13.04 in respect of any Outstanding
Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own
Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Security, if
after a deposit referred in Section 13.04 has been made, (a) a Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 3.01 or the terms of such Security to receive payment in
a Currency other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 13.04 has been made in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the Foreign Currency in which the deposit pursuant to Section 13.04
has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest, if any, on and Additional Amounts, if
any, with respect to, such Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security into the
Currency in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based on (x) in the case of payments made pursuant to clause (a) above, the applicable market exchange rate for such Currency in effect on the
second Business Day prior to each payment date, or (y) with respect to a Conversion Event, the applicable market exchange rate for such Foreign Currency in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 13.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities. 
 Anything in this Article 13 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any
money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess
of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance. 
 SECTION 13.06. Acknowledgement of Discharge by Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.07 below and after the Company has delivered to the 

  

 72 







 
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that conditions precedent referred to in Section 13.04 relating to the
defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with, the Trustee upon request of the Company shall acknowledge in writing the defeasance or the covenant defeasance, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 13.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article
with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the
Company and the Guarantors have been discharged or released pursuant to Section 13.02 or 13.03 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 13.05 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or
any premium or interest on any such Securities following reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights, if any, of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust. 

SECTION 13.08. Qualifying Trustee. Any trustee appointed pursuant to Section 13.05 for the purpose of holding trust
funds deposited pursuant to that Section shall be appointed under an agreement in form acceptable to the Trustee and shall provide to the Trustee a certificate of such trustee, upon which certificate the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively
rely, that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the related defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any acts or omissions of said trustee. 
 ARTICLE 14 
 SINKING
FUNDS 
 SECTION 14.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be
applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise permitted or required in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Security of such series issued pursuant to this Indenture. 
 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 such series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of
Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 14.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the 

  

 73 







 
redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series and this Indenture. 
 SECTION 14.02. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The Company may (a) deliver Outstanding Securities
of a series (other than any of such Securities previously called for redemption) and (b) apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through
the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that such Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited
for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
 SECTION 14.03. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 75 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for
any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for such series pursuant to the terms of such series, the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 14.02, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to
the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so credited and not previously delivered. Not less than 45 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the
Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.03 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
Section 11.04. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 11.06 and 11.07. 
 ARTICLE 15 
 SECURITIES IN FOREIGN
CURRENCIES 
 SECTION 15.01. Applicability of Article. Whenever this Indenture provides for
(i) any action by, or the determination of any of the rights of, Holders of Securities of any series in which not all of such Securities are denominated in the same Currency, or (ii) any distribution to Holders of Securities, in the
absence of any provision to the contrary in this Indenture or the Securities, any amount in respect of any Security denominated in a Currency other than Dollars shall be treated for any such action or distribution as that amount of Dollars that
could be 

  

 74 







 
obtained for such amount on such reasonable basis of exchange and as of the record date with respect to Securities of such series (if any) for such action,
determination of rights or distribution (or, if there shall be no applicable record date, such other date reasonably proximate to the date of such action, determination of rights or distribution) as the Company may specify in a written notice to the
Trustee or, in the absence of such written notice, as the Trustee may determine. 
  

 75
