The Securities shall be issuable as registered

to Section 2.01(a)(11). The Securities of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rate specified
with respect to that series. Subject to Section 2.01(a)(18), the principal of and the interest on the Securities
of any series, as well as any premium thereon in case of redemption thereof prior to maturity, shall be payable in the coin or
currency of the United States of America that at the time is legal tender for public and private debt, at the office or agency

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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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





 






    


     


    

 


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


 


Section 2.04    Execution
and Authentications.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


In authenticating such Securities and accepting
the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 7.01)
shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
form and terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, that all conditions precedent
in connection with the issuance, authentication and delivery of such Securities have been met and that such Securities are legal,
valid and binding obligations against the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions
and qualifications.


 


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


 


Section 2.05    Registration
of Transfer and Exchange.


 


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


 


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


 






    


     


    





 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(d)    The Company
shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Securities of the
same series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange
any Securities of any series or portions thereof called for redemption, other than the unredeemed portion of any such Securities
being redeemed in part. The provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to any Global Security, subject
to Section 2.11 hereof.


 


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


 


Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall
have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.


 


Section 2.06    Temporary
Securities.


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


Section 2.07    Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.


 


In case any temporary or definitive Security
shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and
upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series,
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and
in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish
to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every
case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate
any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon receipt of a Company Order. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security,
the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 2.08    Cancellation.


 


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


 


Section 2.09    Benefits
of Indenture.


 


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


 


Section 2.10    Authenticating
Agent.


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


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


 


Section 2.11    Global
Securities.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


ARTICLE 3


REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING
FUND PROVISIONS


 


Section 3.01    Redemption.


 


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


 


Section 3.02    Notice
of Redemption.


 


(a)    In case the
Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series in
accordance with any right the Company reserved for itself to do so pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the Company
shall, or shall cause the Trustee (upon 5 Business Days written notice, unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee)
to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing, electronically or by
first class postage prepaid mail, a notice of such redemption not less than 15 days and not more than 90 days, except that redemption
notices may be sent more than 90 days prior to the redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the
Securities or a satisfaction and discharge, before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such holders (with a copy to
the Trustee) at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register, unless a shorter period is specified in the
Securities to be redeemed. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been
duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder
of any Security of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities of such series or any other series. In the case of any redemption
of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere
in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with any such
restriction.


 


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


 


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


 


(b)    If less than
all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 20 days’ notice (unless a
shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal
amount of Securities of the series to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other manner as it
shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion (and subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary) and that may provide
for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof) of the
principal amount of such Securities of a denomination larger than $1,000, the Securities to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly
notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The Company may, if and whenever
it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by an Officer, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to
call all or any part of the Securities of a particular series for redemption and to send notice of redemption in the manner set
forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name and at the expense of the Company. In any case in which notice of redemption
is to be sent by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain
with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable
copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required
under the provisions of this Section.


 






     


     


    

 


Section 3.03    Payment
Upon Redemption.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 3.04    Sinking
Fund.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 3.05    Satisfaction
of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.


 


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


 


Section 3.06    Redemption
of Securities for Sinking Fund.


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


ARTICLE 4


COVENANTS


 


Section 4.01    Payment
of Principal, Premium and Interest.


 


The Company will duly and punctually pay
or cause to be paid the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of that series at the time and place
and in the manner provided herein and established with respect to such Securities. Payments of principal on the physical Securities
may be made at the time provided herein and established with respect to such Securities by U.S. dollar check drawn on and mailed
to the address of the Securityholder entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, or U.S. dollar wire
transfer to, a U.S. dollar account if such Securityholder shall have furnished wire instructions to the Trustee no later than 15
days prior to the relevant payment date. Payments of interest on the Securities may be made at the time provided herein and established
with respect to such Securities by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the Securityholder entitled thereto as such address
shall appear in the Security Register, or U.S. dollar wire transfer to an account in the United States if such Securityholder shall
have furnished wire instructions in writing to the Security Registrar and the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the relevant
payment date.


 


Section 4.02    Maintenance
of Office or Agency.


 


So long as any series of the Securities
remain Outstanding, the Company agrees to maintain an office or agency with respect to each such series and at such other location
or locations as may be designated as provided in this Section 4.02, where (i) Securities of that series may
be presented for payment, (ii) Securities of that series may be presented as herein above authorized for registration of transfer
and exchange, and (iii) notices in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be given or made, such
designation to continue with respect to such office or agency until the Company shall, by written notice in an Officer’s
Certificate and delivered to the Trustee, designate some other office or agency for such purposes or any of them. If at any time
the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof,
such presentations and notices may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee
as its agent to receive all such presentations and notices; provided, however, the Trustee shall not be considered an agent of
the Company for service of process.


 


Section 4.03    Paying
Agents.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(4)    that
upon any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial
proceedings affecting the Company, the Trustee will automatically be the Paying Agent; and


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


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


 


(c)     Notwithstanding

as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such paying agent; and, upon such payment by the Company or any paying
agent to the Trustee, the Company or such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the holders of each series of Securities
as of such regular record date, provided that the Company shall not be obligated to furnish or cause to be furnished

request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however,
that, in either case, no such list need be furnished for any series for which the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar.


 


Section 5.02    Preservation
Of Information; Communications With Securityholders.


 


(a)     The Trustee shall preserve, in
as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the holders of Securities contained

portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) that the Company
is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however,
the Company shall not be required to deliver to the Trustee any materials for which the Company has sought and received confidential
treatment by the Commission; and provided further, that so long as such filings by the Company are available on the
Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR), or Interactive Data Electronic Applications

further action required by the Company; provided that an electronic link to such filing, together with an electronic
notice of such filing have been sent to the Trustee it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine
whether such filings have been made. For the avoidance of doubt, a failure by the Company to file annual reports, information and
other reports with the Commission within the time period prescribed thereof by the Commission shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 5.03.

reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 5.03 is for informational purposes only and
the information and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained

ARTICLE 6


REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS
ON


EVENT OF DEFAULT


 


Section 6.01    Events
of Default.


 


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


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


(a)     The Company
covenants that if an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) shall have occurred with respect to
the Securities of any series, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series,
the whole amount that then shall have been become due and payable on all such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or
interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment
of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in
the Securities of that series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses
of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06.


 


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


 


(c)     In case of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings
affecting the Company, or its creditors or property, irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to
this Section 6.02, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted
by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other papers and
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Securities of such
series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the Company under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings
and for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Company after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable
to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby
authorized by each of the holders of Securities of such series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it
under Section 7.06.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


Section 6.03    Application
of Moneys Collected.


 


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


 


FIRST: To the payment of reasonable
costs and expenses of collection and of all amounts payable to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys under this Indenture;


 


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


 


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


 


Section 6.04    Limitation
on Suits.


 


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


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 6.06    Control
by Securityholders.


 


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


 


Section 6.07    Undertaking
to Pay Costs.


 


All parties to this Indenture agree, and
each holder of any Securities by such holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee
for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs
of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against
any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant;
but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder,
or group of Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or
to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
on any Security of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this
Indenture.


 






     


     


    

 


ARTICLE 7


CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE


 


Section 7.01    Certain
Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.


 


(a)     The Trustee,
prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing of all Events of
Default with respect to the Securities of that series that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect to the Securities
of such series such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall
be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred
(that has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise
or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.


 


(b)     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:


 


(1)    prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such
Events of Default with respect to that series that may have occurred:


 


(A)    the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of such series be determined solely by the express provisions
of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the Securities of such series except for the performance
of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and


 


(B)    in the
absence of willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may with respect to the Securities of such series conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any 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
that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine
the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the
accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 7.02    Certain
Rights of Trustee.


 


Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:


 


(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, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document or other evidence of indebtedness
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Trustee need not investigate
any fact or matter stated in the document. The Trustee shall receive and retain financial reports and statements of the Company
to the extent provided herein, but shall have no duty to review or analyze such reports or statements to determine compliance with
covenants or other obligations of the Company;


 






     


     


    

 


(b)     Any request,
direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument
signed in the name of the Company by any authorized Officer of the Company (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically
prescribed herein);


 


(c)     The Trustee
may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or, if requested, any Opinion of Counsel shall be full
and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and in
reliance thereon;


 


(d)     The Trustee
shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction
of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered (and
if requested, provided) to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses, claims and liabilities
that may be incurred therein or thereby;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(j)      The permissive
rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties;


 


(k)     The Trustee
may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized
at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture; and


 


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


 


In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed
to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notification
in the manner set forth in this Indenture, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture or a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee shall have obtained actual knowledge.


 






     


     


    

 


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


 


(a)     The recitals
contained herein and in the Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility
for the correctness of the same.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 7.04    May Hold
Securities.


 


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


 


Section 7.05    Moneys
Held in Trust.


 


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


 


Section 7.06    Compensation
and Reimbursement.


 


(a)     The Company covenants and agrees
to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of
law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as the Company and the Trustee may from time to time agree
in writing, for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of
any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will pay
or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable and documented expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made
by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable and documented fees and the
expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as may arise from its negligence or willful misconduct. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (and its
officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it harmless against, any documented loss, liability or expense, including
reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee and
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable and documented costs
and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises (whether asserted by the Company, or any holder
or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, or in
connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section.


 


(b)     The obligations
of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be
secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except
funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Securities.


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


Section 7.07    Reliance
on Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.


 


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


 


Section 7.08    Disqualification;
Conflicting Interests.


 


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


 


Section 7.09    Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 7.10    Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.


 


(a)     The Trustee
or any successor hereafter appointed may at any time resign with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written
notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by electronic mail, or by first class postage prepaid mail,
to the Securityholders of such series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice
of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series by written instrument,
in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee
and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within
30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series, or any Securityholder of that series who
has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any,
as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.


 






     


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 7.11    Acceptance
of Appointment By Successor.


 


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


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


(e)     Upon acceptance
of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security
Register. If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee,
the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company.


 


Section 7.12    Merger,
Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.


 


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


 


Section 7.13    Preferential
Collection of Claims Against the Company.


 


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


 


Section 7.14    Notice
of Default.


 


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


 






     


     


    

 



 


ARTICLE 8


CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS


 


Section 8.01    Evidence
of Action by Securityholders.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 8.02    Proof
of Execution by Securityholders.


 


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


 


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


 


(b)    The ownership
of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar thereof.
The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall deem necessary.


 


Section 8.03    Who
May be Deemed Owners.


 


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


 


Section 8.04    Certain
Securities Owned by Company Disregarded.


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


Section 8.05    Actions
Binding on Future Securityholders.


 


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

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


 


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


 


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


 


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

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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 9.02    Supplemental
Indentures With Consent of Securityholders.


 


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


 


It shall not be necessary for the consent
of the Securityholders of any series affected thereby under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The Trustee shall not be obligated to
enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture
or otherwise.


 


Section 9.03    Effect
of Supplemental Indentures.


 


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


 


Section 9.04    Securities
Affected by Supplemental Indentures.


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


Section 9.05    Execution
of Supplemental Indentures.


 


Upon the request of the Company, accompanied
by its Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of
evidence of the consent of Securityholders required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in
the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties
or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to
enter into such supplemental indenture. The Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive
evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by the terms of this
Article and that all conditions precedent to the execution of the supplemental indenture have been complied with and with
respect to such Opinion of Counsel, that such supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and qualifications.


 


Promptly after the execution by the Company
and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article, the Company shall transmit by electronic
mail, or by first class mail, postage prepaid, a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture,
to the Securityholders of all series affected thereby as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Any failure
of the Company to mail, or cause the mailing of, such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such supplemental indenture.


 


ARTICLE 10


SUCCESSOR ENTITY


 


Section 10.01    Company
May Consolidate, Etc.

and delivered to the Trustee by the entity formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or by
the entity which shall have acquired such property and (b) in the event that the Securities of any series then Outstanding
are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock or other securities of the Company, such entity shall, by such
supplemental indenture, make provision so that the Securityholders of Securities of that series shall thereafter be entitled to
receive upon conversion or exchange of such Securities the number of securities or property to which a holder of the number of
shares of common stock or other securities of the Company deliverable upon conversion or exchange of those Securities would have
been entitled had such conversion or exchange occurred immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer
or other disposition. If the Company is not the surviving entity of any such transaction, the Company or the continuing entity
agrees to deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that the transaction and the supplemental
indenture complies with this Section 10.01 and that all conditions precedent herein relating to the transaction have been
satisfied.


 






     


     


    

 


Section 10.02    Successor
Entity Substituted.


 


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


 


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


 


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

paid as provided in Section 2.07 and Securities for whose payment money or Governmental Obligations have
theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereupon repaid to the Company or discharged

public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay at maturity or upon redemption
all Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal (and premium, if any)
and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case may be, and if the Company
shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder with respect to such series by the Company then this Indenture
shall thereupon cease to be of further effect with respect to such series except for the provisions of Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 7.10,
that shall survive until the date of maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, and Sections 7.06 and 11.05,
that shall survive to such date and thereafter, and the Trustee, on demand of the Company and at the cost and expense of the Company
shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Company acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture
with respect to such series.


 


Section 11.02    Discharge

particular series not heretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that have not become due and payable as described
in Section 11.01 shall have been paid by the Company by depositing irrevocably with the Trustee as trust
funds moneys or an amount of Governmental Obligations sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all such Securities of that
series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal (and premium, if any) and interest due or
to become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case may be, and if the Company shall also pay or cause
to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to such series, then after the date such moneys or Governmental
Obligations, as the case may be, are deposited with the Trustee the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect
to such series shall cease to be of further effect except for the provisions of Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 7.06, 7.10 and 11.05 hereof
that shall survive until such Securities shall mature and be paid.

survive.

Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee.


 


Section 11.04    Payment
of Moneys Held by Paying Agents.


 


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


 


Section 11.05    Repayment
to Company.

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