Under this shelf registration process, we may sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings.

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer and sell. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. Such prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. If there is any difference between the information in the prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement. You should read this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement together with the additional information described under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information."

The registration statement that contains this prospectus, including the exhibits to the registration statement, contains additional information about us and the securities offered under this prospectus. You can find the registration statement at the website maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the "SEC," at http://www.sec.gov.

When we refer to "Old National," "we," "our" or "us" in this prospectus, we mean Old National Bancorp and not any of its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires or as otherwise indicated.

**RISK FACTORS** 

Before making an investment decision in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks described under "Risk Factors" in the applicable prospectus supplement and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated into this prospectus by reference, as updated by our most recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances. In addition to those risk factors, there may be additional risks and uncertainties of which management is not aware or focused on or that management deems immaterial. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

**USE OF PROCEEDS** 

Unless we indicate otherwise in an applicable prospectus supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the offered securities will be added to our general funds and may be used for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• debt reduction or debt refinancing, including the refinancing of our outstanding capital securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• investments in or advances to subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• acquisitions of bank and non-bank subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• repurchase of shares of our common stock or other securities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other general corporate purposes.

Until the net proceeds have been used, they may be temporarily invested in securities or held in deposits of our affiliated banks.

**DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES** 

The debt securities will be direct unsecured general obligations of Old National and will be either senior or subordinated debt. The debt securities will be issued under separate indentures between Old National and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association ("U.S. Bank") as trustee. Senior debt securities will be issued under a senior debt indenture and subordinated debt securities will be issued under a subordinated debt indenture. The senior debt indenture and the subordinated debt indenture are sometimes referred to in this prospectus individually as an "indenture" and collectively as the "indentures." The form of senior debt indenture and the subordinated debt indenture, as amended or supplemented, have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

The following briefly summarizes the material provisions of the indentures and the debt securities. The summary is not complete. You should read the more detailed provisions of the applicable indenture for provisions that may be important to you.

**General** 

The debt securities may be issued in one or more series. The particular terms of each series of debt securities, as well as any modifications or additions to the general terms of the debt securities as described in this prospectus which may be applicable in the case of a particular series of debt securities, will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series of debt securities. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of a particular series of debt securities, reference must be made both to the prospectus supplement relating to that series and to the description of debt securities set forth in this prospectus.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The senior debt securities will be direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Old National. The subordinated debt securities will be unsecured and will be subordinated to all of Old National's senior indebtedness as described below under "— Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities." Because Old National is a holding company, the right of Old National, and therefore the right of creditors of Old National (including the holders of the debt securities), to participate in any distribution of the assets of any subsidiary of Old National upon its liquidation or reorganization or otherwise is necessarily subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary, except to the extent that claims of Old National itself as a creditor of the subsidiary may be recognized.

The prospectus supplement relating to the particular series of debt securities being offered will specify whether they are senior or subordinated debt securities and the other terms of those debt securities, including, but not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the title of the debt securities and the series in which the debt securities shall be included;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of such title or the debt securities of that
series which may be authenticated and delivered under the indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• for subordinated debt securities, whether the debt securities of the series are to be issuable as registered debt
securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• for subordinated debt securities, whether the debt securities are to be issued initially or otherwise in global
form and, if so:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o whether beneficial owners of interests in any such global debt security may exchange such interest for debt
securities of such series and of like tenor of any authorized form and denomination and the circumstances under which any such exchanges may occur, if other than in the manner specified in the Subordinated Indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the name of the depositary or the U.S. Depository, as the case may be, for the global debt security; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the manner in which interest payable on a global debt security will be paid;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• for subordinated debt securities, the date as of which any global debt security representing outstanding debt
securities of the series shall be dated if other than the original issuance of the first debt security of the series to be issued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date or dates, or the method, if any, by which such date or dates shall be determined, on which the principal
of the debt securities is payable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the rate or rates at which such debt securities shall bear interest, if any, or the method, if any, by which such
rate or rates are to be determined, the date or dates, if any, from which such interest shall accrue or the method, if any, by which such date or dates are to be determined, the interest payment dates, if any, on which such interest shall be payable
and the regular record date, if any, for the interest payable on registered debt securities on any interest payment date, whether and under what circumstances additional amounts on such debt securities or any of them shall be payable, and the basis

debt securities, any registered debt securities of the series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, debt securities of the series may be surrendered for exchange and notices or demands to or upon Old National in respect of the debt
securities of the series and the indenture may be served;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the debt securities of the series or any of them are to be redeemable at the option of Old National and,

debt securities of the series or any of them are to be payable, at the election of Old National or a holder thereof, in a currency, composite currencies or currency unit or units other than that in which the debt securities of the series or any of
them are stated to be payable, the period or periods within which, and the terms and conditions upon which, such election may be made;

commodities, equity indices or other indices) and, if so, the terms and conditions upon which and the manner in which such amounts shall be determined and paid or payable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including additional amounts), if any, on the debt
securities of the series are to be payable, at the election of Old National or any holder thereof or otherwise, in a currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies other than that in which such securities or any
of them are denominated or stated to be payable, the period or periods within which and the other terms and conditions upon which, such election, if any, may be made, and the time and manner of determining the exchange rate between the currency or
currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which such securities or any of them are denominated or stated to be payable and the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in

shall be due and payable upon any maturity other than the stated maturity or which shall be deemed to be outstanding as of any date prior to the stated maturity (or, in any such case, the manner in which such amount deemed to be the principal amount
shall be determined);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the "Events of Default" or covenants of Old
National with respect to the debt securities of the series or any of them, whether or not such events of default or covenants are consistent with the events of default or covenants set forth therein;

(whether upon original issue or upon exchange of a temporary Security of such series) only upon receipt of certain certificates or other documents or satisfaction of other conditions, then the form and terms of such certificates, documents or
conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• for subordinated debt securities, if there is more than one trustee, the identity of the trustee and, if not the
trustee, the identity of each security registrar, paying agent and/or authenticating agent with respect to the securities of the series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• for subordinated debt securities, whether any of the debt securities of a series shall be issued as

Senior Indenture which applies to debt securities of the series;

of any debt securities of the series that may be converted into debt securities or other property other than debt securities of the same series and of like tenor, whether in addition to, or in lieu of, any payment of principal or other amount and
whether at the option of the Company or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• for senior debt securities, any change in the actions permitted or required under this Indenture to be taken by
or on behalf of the holders of the debt securities of the series, including any such change that permits or requires any or all such actions to be taken by or on behalf of the holders of any specific debt securities of the series rather than or in
addition to the holders of all debt securities of the series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• for senior debt securities, if applicable, the remarketing or extension features of the debt securities of the
series; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other terms of the debt securities of the series or any of them (which terms shall not be inconsistent with
the provisions of the indenture).

Neither indenture limits the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that may be issued under it and each indenture provides that the debt securities may be issued under it from time to time in one or more series up to the aggregate principal amount which may be authorized from time to time by Old National. All debt securities issued under an indenture will rank equally and ratably with any other debt securities issued under that indenture. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of debt securities, but Old National may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with the transfer of exchange.

Some of the debt securities may be issued under an indenture as original issue discount securities to be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. Certain United States federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any original issue discount securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those debt securities.

**Form, Exchange and Transfer** 

The subordinated debt securities of a series shall be issued as registered securities or global securities. Subordinated debt securities that may be issuable in the form of global securities are described below under "Global Securities."

The senior debt securities of a series shall be substantially in the form set forth in the Senior Indenture, or such other form to be established by or pursuant to a board resolution, with appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and variations a required or permitted by the Senior Indenture and such letters, numbers, marks of identification and legends and endorsements required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or depositary therefor. The definitive senior debt securities shall be printed, or may be produced in any other

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
manner, all as determined by the officers executing such senior debt securities, as evidenced by their execution of such senior debt securities.

Registered securities of any series may be exchanged for other registered securities of the same series bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions, in any authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the debt securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any registered securities are so surrendered for exchange, we shall execute, and the indenture trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the registered securities which the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer, exchange or redemption of debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. Such transfer or exchange will be effected upon the security registrar or such transfer agent, as the case may be, being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request. We have appointed the applicable indenture trustee as security registrar. Any transfer agent (in addition to the security registrar) initially designated by us for any debt securities will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Except as otherwise specified the indenture, and in the case of senior debt securities, if the senior debt securities are to be redeemed in part, we shall not be required:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any securities of any series during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of the selection for redemption of debt securities of such series and ending at the close of business on the day of such selection; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to register the transfer of or exchange any registered security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except in the case of any security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any security which, in accordance with its terms, has been
surrendered for repayment at the option of the holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be repaid.

If temporary securities of any series are issued, we shall cause definitive securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay, except in the case of temporary securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof. After the preparation of definitive securities of any series, the temporary securities of such series, if any, shall be exchangeable upon request for definitive securities of such series containing identical terms and provisions upon surrender of the temporary securities of such series at an office or agency of Old National maintained for such purpose, without charge to any holder.

**Global Securities** 

***Senior Indenture***

The senior debt securities of any series may be represented by global securities. A global security under the Senior Indenture will evidence all or part of the debt securities of any series and bear the legend set forth in the Senior Indenture. For any debt securities of any series that are issuable in whole or in part as global securities under the Senior Indenture, a clearing agency will act as a depository for such debt securities. The following provisions apply to global securities under the Senior Indenture:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Each global security authenticated under the Senior Indenture shall be registered in the name of the depositary
designated for such global security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such global security shall constitute a single debt security for all purposes of the Senior Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Senior Indenture, and subject to such applicable provisions, if any,
as may be specified as contemplated by the Senior Indenture, no global security may be exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities registered, and no transfer of a global security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any
person other than the depositary for such global

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such depositary has notified Old National that it (i) is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such global security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default with respect to such global security, (C) Old National executes and delivers to the trustee a company order stating that such global security shall be so transferable and exchangeable or (D) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by the Senior Indenture. If Old National receives a notice of the kind specified in clause (A) above or delivers the company order referenced in clause (C) above, it may, in its sole discretion, designate a successor depositary for such global security within 60 days after receiving such notice or delivering such company order, as the case may be. If Old National designates a successor depositary as set forth above, such global security shall promptly be exchanged in whole for one or more other global securities registered in the name of the successor depositary, whereupon such designated successor shall be the depositary for such successor global security or global securities and the provisions of the Senior Indenture shall continue to apply thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Subject to clause (2) above and to such applicable provisions, if any, as may be specified as contemplated
by the Senior Indenture, any exchange of a global security for other debt securities may be made in whole or in part, and all debt securities issued in exchange for a global security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the
depositary for such global security shall direct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Every debt security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu
of, a global security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to the Senior Indenture or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a global security, unless such debt security is registered in the name of a
person other than the depositary for such global security or a nominee thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Neither any members of, or participants in, a depositary, nor any other persons on whose behalf such members or
participants may act, shall have any rights under the Senior Indenture with respect to any global security registered in the name of a depositary or any nominee thereof, and the applicable depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be
treated by Old National, the trustee and any agent of Old National or the trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such global security for all purposes whatsoever. None of Old National, the trustee, the security registrar or any other agent of
Old National or any agent of the trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a debt security in the form of a global security, or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Old National, the trustee and any other agent of Old National and any agent of the trustee shall be entitled to deal with a depositary, and any
nominee thereof, that is the holder of a global security for all purposes of the Senior Indenture relating to such global security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, and the giving of instructions or
directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such global security) as the sole holder of such global security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of Old National, the trustee or any
other agent of Old National or any agent of the trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of a depositary or its nominee with respect to a global security, for the records of any such depositary, including records
in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such global security, for any transactions between such depositary and any members or participants in such depositary or other participant in such depositary or between or among any such
depositary, any such member or participant in such depositary or other participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such global security or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such global security.

***Subordinated Indenture***

The subordinated debt securities of any series may be represented by global securities which will have an aggregate amount equal to that of the debt securities they represent and may also provide that the aggregate

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
amount of debt securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect exchanges pursuant to a schedule thereto. The indenture trustee shall deliver and redeliver any security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the person or persons specified therein, pursuant to applicable procedures, or in the applicable company order. The depositary shall at all times be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. Old National initially appoints the indenture trustee to act as the registrar and paying agent and to act as depository custodian with respect to any global securities unless provided otherwise with respect to such series. Unless otherwise specified, payment of principal of and any premium and interest on any security in permanent global form shall be made to the person or persons specified therein.

Except as otherwise specified as in the Subordinated Indenture, any global security of any series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series only if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the securities depository is at any time unwilling or unable or ineligible to continue as securities depository
and a successor depository is not appointed by Old National within 90 days of the date Old National is so notified in writing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Old National executes and delivers to the indenture trustee a Company Order to the effect that such global
security shall be so exchangeable; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an event of default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the debt securities and the registrar has
received a written request from the U.S. Depository to issue definitive securities.

**Payment and Paying Agents** 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of interest on a debt security on any interest payment date will be made to the person in whose name such debt security is registered at the close of business on the record date for such interest, except in the case of defaulted interest.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, principal, interest and premium on the debt securities of a particular series will be payable at the office of such paying agent or paying agents as we may designate for such purpose from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at our option, payment of any interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address appears in the security register, or in the case of senior debt securities, by wire transfer at such place and to such account as may be designated by the person entitled thereto as specified in the security register in writing.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, a paying agent designated by us will act as paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series.

For debt securities, if the debt securities are listed on any stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, Old National shall maintain a paying agent in such other jurisdiction outside the United States so long as the debt securities are listed on such exchange. Old National will give prompt written notice to the indenture trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. All paying agents initially designated by us for the debt securities of a particular series will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may at any time designate additional paying agents or rescind the designation of any paying agent or approve a change in the office through which any paying agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.

All funds paid by us to a paying agent for the payment of the principal, interest or premium on any debt security which remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us upon request, and the holder of such debt security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Conversion or Exchange** 

If any series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares is subject to conversion or exchange, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the rights or obligations of each record holder of depositary receipts to convert or exchange the depositary shares.

**Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities** 

Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the following provisions will apply to the subordinated debt securities.

To the extent set forth in the Subordinated Indenture, the subordinated debt securities will be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all senior indebtedness. In the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy proceedings and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization, arrangement or similar proceeding, the holders of senior indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due in respect of all senior indebtedness before the holders of subordinated debt securities are entitled to receive any distribution on account of principal, interest or premium on subordinated debt securities and shall by entitled to receive payment or distribution (whether in cash or property or securities) which may be payable or deliverable after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution in respect of such senior indebtedness. In the event that a security becomes due and payable because of the occurrence of certain events of default, the holders senior indebtedness outstanding at the time shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all principal of, and premium and interest on, all such senior indebtedness before the holders of the subordinated securities of such series are entitled to receive any payment on the debt securities of such series.

In the event of the acceleration of the maturity of any subordinated debt securities, the holders of all senior debt securities outstanding at the time of such acceleration will first be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due on the senior debt securities before the holders of the subordinated debt securities will be entitled to receive any payment of principal, interest or premium on the subordinated debt securities.

The Subordinated Indenture does not limit or prohibit the issuance of additional senior debt securities, which may include indebtedness that is senior to the subordinated debt securities, but subordinate to our other obligations.

The term "Senior Indebtedness" means, with respect to Old National:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the principal and any premium or interest for money borrowed or purchased by us, including but not limited to
indebtedness evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or similar instruments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an obligation arising from off-balance sheet guarantees and direct credit
substitutes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit, bankers' acceptances or similar facilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obligations issued or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services (but excluding trade
accounts payable or accrued liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• capital lease obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any obligations associated with derivative products including but not limited to securities contracts, foreign
currency exchange contracts, swap agreements (including interest rate and foreign exchange rate swap agreements), cap agreements, floor agreements, collar agreements, interest rate agreements, foreign exchange rate agreements, options, commodity
futures contracts, commodity option contracts and similar financial instruments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• debt of others described in the preceding clauses that we have guaranteed or for which we are otherwise liable or
that are secured by any lien on any of our property or assets; and

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obligations to general creditors, in each case, whether outstanding on the date the subordinated indenture
becomes effective, or created, assumed or incurred after that date, unless in the instrument creating or evidencing any such indebtedness or obligation, or pursuant to which the same is outstanding, it is provided that such indebtedness or
obligation is not superior in right of payment to the subordinated debt securities or to other debt that is pari passu with or subordinate to the subordinated debt securities.

No right of any present or future holder of any senior indebtedness to enforce subordination shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of Old National or by any non-compliance by the Old National with the terms, provisions or covenants of the indentures.

The prospectus supplement may further describe the provisions applicable to the subordination of the subordinated debt securities of a particular series.

**Certain Covenants with Respect to Senior Debt Securities** 

Old National covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of senior debt securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on the debt securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the debt securities and the Senior Indenture. Except as may otherwise be provided in the Senior Indenture, Old National or the trustee may, to the extent it is required to do so by applicable law, deduct or withhold taxes imposed by domestic or foreign taxing authorities from the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest payments under the Senior Indenture or under any debt security.

Old National will maintain in each place of payment for any series of senior debt securities an office or agency where debt securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where debt securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or conversion, and where notices and demands to or upon Old National in respect of the debt securities of that series and the Senior Indenture may be served. Old National will give prompt written notice to the trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. Old National may also designate one or more other offices or agencies from time to time where the senior debt securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations.

If Old National shall at any time act as its own paying agent, it will, on or before each due date, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the amount so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such persons or otherwise disposed of and will promptly notify the trustee of its failure so to act. Old National will cause each paying agent for any series of securities other than the trustee to execute and deliver to the trustee an instrument in which such paying agent shall agree with the trustee, subject to the provisions of the Senior Indenture, that such paying agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a paying agent and (2) during the continuance of any default by Old National (or any other obligor upon the debt securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the debt securities of that series, upon the written request of the trustee, forthwith pay to the trustee all sums held in trust by such paying agent for payment in respect of the debt securities of that series.

Od National will deliver to the trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Old National, an officers' certificate, stating that a review of the activities of Old National during such year and of Old National's performance under the Senior Indenture has been made under the supervision of the signers thereof, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof Old National is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Senior Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if Old National shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

Except as otherwise provided pursuant to the Senior Indenture, for all or any senior debt securities of any series, Old National may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
in certain covenants for the benefit of the holders of such series if the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of such series shall either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition. For the avoidance of doubt, this shall not apply to any covenant of the Company to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on the senior debt securities.

**Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets** 

Without the consent of the holders of any of the outstanding debt securities under the indentures, we may consolidate with or merge into, or convey, transfer or lease our properties and assets to any person and may permit any person to consolidate with or merge into us. However, in such event, any successor person must be a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and must assume, through a supplemental indenture, our obligations on the debt securities and under the applicable indenture. We agree that after giving effect to the transaction, no event of default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an event of default shall have occurred and be continuing and that certain other conditions are met.

**Outstanding Debt Securities** 

"Outstanding," when used with respect to debt securities, means, as of the date of determination, all debt securities authenticated and delivered under the applicable indenture, except:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• debt securities canceled by the indenture trustee or delivered to the indenture trustee for cancellation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• debt securities for whose payment or redemption money in the necessary amount has been deposited with the
indenture trustee or any paying agent (other than us) in trust or set aside and segregated in trust by us (if we shall act as our own paying agent) for the holders of such debt securities and, if such debt securities are to be redeemed, notice of
such redemption has been given according to the applicable indenture or provisions satisfactory to the indenture trustee have been made;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• debt securities as to which defeasance has been effected pursuant to the Senior Indenture or the Subordinated
Indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• debt securities which have been paid pursuant to the applicable indenture or in exchange for or in lieu of which
other debt securities have been authenticated and delivered pursuant to the applicable indenture, other than any debt securities in respect of which there shall have been presented to the indenture trustee proof satisfactory to it that such debt
securities are held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such debt securities are our valid obligations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the case of senior debt securities, senior debt securities as to which any property deliverable upon
conversion thereof has been delivered (or such delivery has been made available), or as to which any other express conditions, have been satisfied.

Each indenture provides that in determining whether the holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding debt securities have given, made or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action under the applicable indenture:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the principal amount of an original issue discount security that shall be deemed to be outstanding shall be the
amount of the principal that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the maturity to such date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the case of senior debt securities, if the principal amount payable is not determinable, the principal amount
of such debt security shall be deemed to be outstanding shall be the amount as specified or determined as contemplated by the Senior Indenture;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the principal amount of a debt security denominated in one or more foreign currencies which shall be deemed to be
outstanding shall be the U.S. dollar equivalent, determined as of the date of original issuance of such debt security in the manner provided by the applicable indenture, of the principal amount of such debt security (or, in the case of an original
issue discount security, of the amount determined as provided above); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• debt securities beneficially owned by us or any other obligor upon the debt securities or any of our affiliates
or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the applicable indenture trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent
or waiver, only debt securities which a responsible officer of the indenture trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded.

Debt securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the applicable indenture trustee the pledgee's right to act with respect to the debt securities and that the pledgee is not us or any other obligor upon the debt securities or any of our affiliates or of such other obligor.

**Events of Default** 

The following are events of default under the applicable indenture with respect to debt securities of any series:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we fail to pay any interest or additional amounts payable on any debt securities of that series when due, and
such default continues unpaid for 30 days;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we fail to pay the principal or premium on any debt security of that series when due and such default continues
unpaid for 30 days;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we fail to deposit any sinking fund payment, when due, in respect of any debt security of that series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we default in the performance, or breach any other covenant or warranty of ours in the applicable indenture or
the debt securities (other than a covenant included in the applicable indenture solely for the benefit of a series other than that series), and such default continues for 90 days after written notice has been given to us by the indenture trustee or
to us and to the indenture trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar events; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other event of default provided in the applicable officer's certificate or supplemental indenture.

Each indenture provides that if certain events of default involving bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar events with respect to the debt securities of any series at the time outstanding shall occur and be continuing, either the indenture trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may declare the principal amount of the debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately. However, after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if we have paid or deposited with the indenture trustee a sufficient sum to pay the amount due, including all overdue installments and expenses to the indenture trustee, and all events of default have been cured or waived. For information as to waiver of defaults, *see* "Modification and Waiver."

Subject to the provisions of the applicable indenture relating to the duties of the indenture trustee in case an event of default shall occur and be continuing, the indenture trustee shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by the applicable indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances. However, the indenture trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the applicable indenture at the request or direction of any of the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
holders, unless such holders shall have offered to the indenture trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to such provisions for the indemnification of the indenture trustee and certain other limitations set forth in the indentures, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the indenture trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the indenture trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series.

No holder of a debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the applicable indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• such holder has previously given written notice to the indenture trustee of a continuing event of default with
respect to the debt securities of that series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series shall have
made proper written request to the indenture trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such event of default in its own name as trustee under the applicable indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• such holder or holders have offered to the indenture trustee reasonable security or indemnity against costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the indenture trustee has failed to institute such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request
or offer of indemnity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the indenture trustee during the 60-day period by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series.

However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of a debt security for the enforcement of payment of the principal, interest or premium on such debt security on or after the due dates expressed in the debt security.

Annually, we are required to furnish to each indenture trustee a statement by certain of our officers as to whether we are in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms of the applicable indenture and, if so, specifying all such known defaults.

**Modification and Waiver** 

We and the indenture trustee under each indenture may, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities, enter into one or more supplemental indentures for specified purposes, including to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• evidence the succession of another person to Old National and the assumption by any successor of the covenants
and obligations of Old National under the indentures and in the debt securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• add covenants for the benefit of holders or surrender any rights or powers conferred upon Old National, provided
that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of outstanding debt securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• add or eliminate any events of default of any series of debt securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision in an indenture, provided that the cure, correction or
supplement does not adversely affect the holders of such debt securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• secure any debt securities or add obligors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• establish any form or terms of debt securities and to provide for the issuance of any debt securities and set
forth the terms thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide for the issuance of uncertificated debt securities;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• qualify or maintain qualification of the applicable indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• comply with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the debt
securities may be listed or traded.

Each of the indentures provide that we and the applicable indenture trustee may enter into an indenture supplemental to the applicable indenture for purposes of adding provisions or changing or eliminating provisions of the applicable indenture, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, or any premium
thereon or the rate of interest on, or change the method of computing the amount of principal on any debt security, or change the place of payment where, or change or the coin or currency in which any debt security is payable, or impair the right to
institute suit for the enforcement of such payment, except to the extent provided in a prospectus supplement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduce the percentage in principal amount of any outstanding debt security which requires consent of holders for
waiver;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• modify certain provisions with respect to the rights of holders and waivers, except to increase any such
percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the applicable indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• modify any of the provisions of the applicable indenture with respect to the subordination of any debt security
in a manner adverse to the capital treatment of the debt securities, except to clarify ambiguities or to meet regulatory requirements for the debt securities; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• modify or affect in any manner adverse to the holders of the debt securities the terms and conditions of the
obligation of Old National in respect of the due and punctual payment of the principal of or premium or interest on the debt securities.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may waive compliance by us with certain restrictive provisions of the applicable indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may waive any past default under the applicable indenture, except a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest and certain covenants and provisions of the applicable indenture which cannot be amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of such series affected.

We will be entitled, except in certain limited circumstances, to set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of outstanding debt securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by the applicable indenture.

**Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance** 

If provision is made for defeasance of debt securities of any series, we shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the outstanding debt securities of such series and the trustee, at our expense, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of such indebtedness, when:

In the case of senior debt securities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we have deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee (i) funds in an amount; or (ii) U.S.
government obligations which will provide money in an amount; or (iii) such other obligations or arrangements as contemplated by the Senior Indenture; or (iv) a combination thereof; in each case, sufficient in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• no event of default shall have occurred and be continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not (i) cause the trustee to have a conflicting interest within
the meaning of the Trust Indenture act, or (ii) result in the trust constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act, unless such trust is so registered or exempt from registration thereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, any other agreement or instrument to which we are a party or by which we are bound.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause any debt securities of such series then listed on any
registered national securities exchange under the Exchange Act to be delisted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in certain circumstances, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that, (i) we have
received from, or there has been published by the IRS a ruling; or (ii) since the date of the Senior Indenture, there has been a change in applicable federal law, such that the debt securities will not recognize a gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in certain circumstances, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that the holders of debt
securities will not recognize a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• such defeasance or covenant defeasance are effected in compliance with additional terms, conditions or
limitations imposed by us pursuant to the Senior Indenture; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we have delivered to the trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent have been complied with.

In the case of subordinated debt securities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• either (i) we have deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee an amount sufficient to pay and
discharge the entire indebtedness on all outstanding debt securities of such series; or (ii) with respect to series of debt securities denominated in U.S. dollars, we have deposited with the trustee of government obligations, an amount which
will, together with the income to accrue thereon, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accounts, be sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all outstanding debt securities of such series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under the Subordinated Indenture with respect to the
outstanding securities of such series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an officer's certificate and an opinion of counsel have been delivered to the trustee, each stating that
the conditions to discharging the debt securities have been satisfied, as well as an officer's certificate stating that no event of default has occurred; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we have delivered to the trustee: (i) a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel
that the holders of the debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes; and (ii) if the securities are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, an opinion of counsel that the securities of such series will

The indentures provide that, upon satisfaction of the conditions relating to defeasance set forth applicable indenture, we shall be released from our obligations with respect to such debt securities under the applicable indenture and the applicable indenture shall no longer be binding upon, or applicable to, us, except any responsibilities and obligations which by terms of the applicable indenture survive termination of the applicable indenture; provided, we shall not be discharged from any payment obligations in respect of debt securities of such series which are deemed not to be outstanding if such obligations continue to be valid obligations of Old National under applicable law.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The applicable prospectus supplement may further describe the provisions, if any, permitting such defeasance or covenant defeasance, including any modifications to the provisions described above, with respect to the debt securities of or within a particular series.

**Notices** 

Notices to holders of registered debt securities will be given in writing by mail (or by overnight courier or facsimile in the case of senior debt securities) to the addresses of such holders as they may appear in the security register.

**Title** 

Old National, the applicable indenture trustee and any agent of Old National or the indenture trustee may treat the person in whose name a debt security is registered as the owner for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global security under the Senior Indenture, nothing in the Senior Indenture shall prevent Old National, the trustee or any agent of Old National or the trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a depositary or impair, as between a depositary and holders of beneficial interests in any global security, the operation of customary practices and adherence to the applicable procedures governing the exercise of the rights of the depositary as holder of such global security.

**Governing Law** 

The indentures and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.

**DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK** 

We have summarized the material terms and provisions of our capital stock in this section. We have also filed our articles of incorporation and our by-laws, each as amended, as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. You should read our articles of incorporation and our by-laws for additional information before you buy our common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares or any securities which may be exercised or exchangeable for or converted into our common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares.

**Common Stock** 

***Authorized Common Stock***

As of December 31, 2025, our authorized common stock, without par value, was 600,000,000 shares, of which 389,662,000 shares were issued and outstanding. Shares of our common stock, when issued against full payment of the purchase price, and shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any of the other securities offered by this prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

***General***

*Voting Rights.* The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record by them on all matters to be voted on by shareholders, except

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) shares of common stock are not entitled to a vote if such shares are owned, directly or indirectly, by another corporation and we own, directly or indirectly, a majority of the shares entitled to vote for directors of such corporation; *provided*, *however*, such limitation on voting does not limit our power to vote shares of our common stock held by us in or for an employee benefit plan or in any other fiduciary capacity, or

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to the extent shares are control shares acquired in a control share acquisition within the meaning of Chapter 42 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law (the "IBCL"), which such shares have voting rights only to the extent granted by resolution approved by our shareholders in accordance with Section 23-1-42-9 of the IBCL.

The holders of our common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Under the IBCL, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by shares entitled to vote in an election at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Our by-laws provide that for all other shareholder votes, when a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of the IBCL, our articles of incorporation or our by-laws, a greater vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

*Dividends*. Subject to the rights of any series of preferred stock authorized by our board of directors as provided by our articles of incorporation, the holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends.

*Liquidation*. In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, subject to the rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share in all assets remaining for distribution to common shareholders according to their interests.

*Other Rights*. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and the shares of our common stock are not subject to any further calls or assessments by us. There are no redemption or conversion rights or sinking fund provisions applicable to the shares of our common stock.

*Listing*. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "ONB." Our transfer agent for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

**Preferred Stock** 

***Authorized Preferred Stock***

Our authorized preferred stock consists of 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value. As of December 31, 2025, 230,500 shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding, comprised of 108,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 122,500 shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

***General***

Under our articles of incorporation and the IBCL, preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, upon board authorization and without shareholder approval. Within certain legal limits, our board of directors is authorized to determine the terms of any series of preferred stock, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• designation, number of shares to issue, price, dividend rate, voting rights and liquidation preferences;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any redemption, sinking fund or conversion provisions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other terms, limitations and relative rights and preferences.

As a result, our board of directors, without shareholder approval, could authorize preferred stock to be issued with voting, conversion and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of common shareholders or other outstanding series of preferred stock.

Each series of preferred stock will have the dividend, liquidation, redemption and voting rights described below unless otherwise described in a prospectus supplement pertaining to a specific series of preferred stock.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of the series of preferred stock in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the designation of that series and the number of shares offered;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount of the liquidation preference, if any, per share or the method of calculating the amount;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the initial public offering price at which shares of that series will be issued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the dividend rate, if any, or the method of calculating the rate and the dates on which dividends will begin to
cumulate, if applicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any redemption or sinking fund provisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any conversion or exchange rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any voting or additional rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications, limitations and restrictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any securities exchange listing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the relative ranking and preferences of that series as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of Old National; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other terms of that series.

Shares of our preferred stock, when issued against full payment of the purchase price, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

When appropriate, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the preferred stock.

*Rank.* Each series of preferred stock will, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, rank prior to common stock. The rank of each separate series of preferred stock will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, but all shares of each series will be of equal rank with each other.

*Dividends.* Holders of each series of preferred stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if our board of directors declares, cash dividends, payable at the dates and at the rates per share as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Those rates may be fixed, variable or both.

Dividends may be cumulative or non-cumulative, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If dividends on a series of preferred stock are non-cumulative and if our board of directors fails to declare a dividend for a dividend period for that series, then holders of that preferred stock will have no right to receive a dividend for that dividend period, and we will have no obligation to pay the dividend for that period, whether or not dividends are declared for any future dividend payment dates. If dividends on a series of preferred stock are cumulative, the dividends on those shares will accrue from and after the date mentioned in the applicable prospectus supplement.

*Redemption.* The terms on which any series of preferred stock may be redeemed will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. All shares of preferred stock which we redeem, purchase or acquire, including shares surrendered for conversion or exchange, will be retired and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares, but may be reissued only as a part of the preferred stock other than the series of which they were originally a part.

*Liquidation.* In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, preferred shareholders of any particular series will be entitled, subject to creditors' rights and holders of any series of preferred stock ranking senior as to liquidation rights, but before any distribution to common shareholders or holders of any series of preferred stock ranking junior as to liquidation rights, to receive a liquidating distribution

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
in the amount of the liquidation preference, if any, per share as mentioned in the applicable prospectus supplement, plus accrued and unpaid dividends for the current dividend period. This would include any accumulation of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods, if dividends on that series of preferred stock are cumulative. If the amounts available for distribution upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up are not sufficient to satisfy the full liquidation rights of all the outstanding preferred stock of that series and all stock ranking equal to that series of preferred stock, then the holders of each series of that stock will share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full respective preferential amount, which may include accumulated dividends, to which they are entitled. After the full amount of the liquidation preference is paid, the holders of preferred stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of our assets.

*Voting.* The voting rights of preferred stock of any series will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Under Indiana law, regardless of whether a class or a series of shares is granted voting rights by the terms of our articles of incorporation, the shareholders of that class or series are entitled to vote as a separate voting group, or together with other similarly affected series, on certain amendments to our articles of incorporation and certain other fundamental changes that directly affect that class or series.

Under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System the ("Federal Reserve Board"), if the holders of any series of preferred stock become entitled to vote for the election of directors because dividends on that series are in arrears, that series may then be deemed a "class of voting securities," and a holder of 25% or more of that series (or a holder of 5% or more if it otherwise exercises a "controlling influence" over Old National) may then be subject to regulation as a bank holding company. In addition, in that event:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any bank holding company may be required to obtain Federal Reserve Board approval, and any foreign bank, and any
company that controls a foreign bank, that has certain types of U.S. banking operations may be required to obtain Federal Reserve Board approval under the International Banking Act of 1978, to acquire 5% or more of that series of preferred
stock; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any person other than a bank holding company may be required to obtain Federal Reserve Board approval under the
Change in Bank Control Act of 1978 to acquire 10% or more of that series of preferred stock.

*Conversion or Exchange.* The terms on which preferred stock of any series may be converted into or exchanged for another class or series of securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

*Other Rights.* The shares of a series of preferred stock may have the preferences, voting powers or relative, participating, optional or other special rights as may be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, our articles of incorporation, or as otherwise required by law. The holders of preferred stock will not have any preemptive rights to subscribe to any of our securities.

*Title.* Old National, any transfer agent and registrar for a series of preferred stock, and any of their agents may treat the registered owner of that preferred stock as the absolute owner of that stock, whether or not any payment for that preferred stock shall be overdue and despite any notice to the contrary, for any purpose.

*Transfer Agent and Registrar.* Unless the applicable prospectus supplement specifies otherwise, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company will be the transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursement agent for each series of preferred stock.

**Indiana Law and Certain Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation; Anti-Takeover Measures** 

***Articles of Incorporation***

Our articles of incorporation currently authorize the issuance of 600,000,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Within the limits of applicable law and the listing rules of the NASDAQ Global Select Market, these shares are available to be issued, without prior shareholder approval, in classes with relative rights, privileges and preferences determined for each class by our board of directors.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Our articles of incorporation provide that certain business combinations may, under certain circumstances, require approval of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Additionally, our articles of incorporation provide that the board of directors will consider non-financial factors that it deems relevant when evaluating a business combination. Finally, our articles of incorporation provide that any person or group of persons who acquires 15% or more of our then outstanding common stock must pay an amount at least equal to the highest percent over market value paid for shares already held by such person or group when acquiring additional shares. Any amendment of the foregoing provisions requires approval of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

These provisions in our articles of incorporation are designed to encourage potential acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors to preserve for shareholders our value in the event of a takeover attempt. These provisions reduce the likelihood that a potential acquirer who is unwilling to pay a market premium determined by the board to be sufficient will attempt to acquire shares of our common stock by means of an open market accumulation, front-end loaded tender offer or other coercive or unfair takeover tactic. These provisions in our articles of incorporation would ensure that we, our shareholders and our other stakeholders would be protected from certain takeover attempts, or the acquisition of a substantial block of equity, on terms that may be less favorable generally than would be available in transactions negotiated with and approved by our board of directors.

***Indiana Law***

Chapters 42 and 43 of the IBCL, which are applicable to us, may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects by prescribing, in the case of Chapter 42, certain voting requirements in instances in which a person acquires shares of Old National in excess of certain thresholds or proscribing, in the case of Chapter 43, certain transactions between Old National and an "interested stockholder" (defined generally as a person beneficially owning 10% or more of a corporation's outstanding voting stock) during the five year period following the time such person became an interested stockholder.

In addition, Chapter 35 of the IBCL provides that in taking or declining to take any action, or in making or declining to make any recommendation to the shareholders of the corporation with respect to any matter, a board of directors may, in its discretion, consider both the short term and long term best interests of the corporation, taking into account, and weighing as the directors deem appropriate, the effects thereof on the corporation's shareholders and the other corporate constituent groups and interests, as well as any other factors deemed pertinent by the directors. As a result, by expanding the factors that may be considered relevant by the directors in assessing a takeover proposal, this provision could be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects.

**DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES** 

This section describes the general terms and provisions of the depositary shares. The prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the depositary shares offered through that prospectus supplement. The specific terms may differ from the general description of terms described below.

We have summarized the material terms and provisions of the deposit agreement, the depositary shares and the depositary receipts in this section. We will also file the form of deposit agreement, including the form of depositary receipt, as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. You should read the forms of deposit agreement and depositary receipt relating to a series of preferred stock for additional information before you buy any depositary shares that represent preferred stock of that series.

**General** 

We may offer fractional interests in preferred stock, rather than full shares of preferred stock. If we do, we will provide for the issuance by a depositary to the public of receipts for depositary shares, each of which will represent a fractional interest in a share of a particular series of preferred stock.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The shares of any series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement between us and a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States, which we refer to in this prospectus as the depositary. We will name the depositary in the applicable prospectus supplement. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will have a fractional interest in all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock underlying the depositary share. Those rights include any dividend, voting, redemption, conversion, exchange and liquidation rights.

The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued under the deposit agreement. If you purchase fractional interests in shares of the related series of preferred stock, you will receive depositary receipts as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. While the final depositary receipts are being prepared, we may order the depositary to issue temporary depositary receipts substantially identical to the final depositary receipts although not in final form. The holders of the temporary depositary receipts will be entitled to the same rights as if they held the depositary receipts in final form. Holders of the temporary depositary receipts can exchange them for the final depositary receipts at our expense. Depositary receipts may be provided in book-entry form.

Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, you will not be entitled to receive the whole shares of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares.

Where appropriate, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the depositary shares.

**Dividends and Other Distributions** 

The depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions received with respect to the preferred stock to the record holders of depositary shares representing the shares of preferred stock in proportion to the number of depositary shares owned by the holders on the relevant record date. The depositary will not distribute amounts less than one cent. The depositary will distribute any balance with the next sum received for distribution to record holders of depositary shares.

If there is a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property to the holders of depositary shares, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. If this occurs, the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the holders of depositary shares.

The deposit agreement will also contain provisions relating to how any subscription or similar rights offered by us to holders of the preferred stock will be made available to the holders of depositary shares.

**Conversion and Exchange** 

If any series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares is subject to conversion or exchange, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the rights or obligations of each record holder of depositary receipts to convert or exchange the depositary shares.

**Redemption of Depositary Shares** 

If the series of the preferred stock underlying the depositary shares is subject to redemption, all or a part of the depositary shares will be redeemed from the redemption proceeds of that series of the preferred stock held by the depositary. The depositary will mail notice of redemption between 30 to 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the record holders of the depositary shares to be redeemed at their addresses appearing in the depositary's records. The redemption price per depositary share will bear the same relationship to the redemption price per share of preferred stock that the depositary share bears to the underlying preferred stock. Whenever we redeem preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem, as of the same redemption date, the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
number of depositary shares representing the preferred stock redeemed. If less than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or *pro rata* as determined by the depositary.

After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be outstanding. When the depositary shares are no longer outstanding, all rights of the holders will cease, except the right to receive money or other property that the holders of the depositary shares were entitled to receive upon the redemption.

**Voting the Preferred Stock** 

When the depositary receives notice of any meeting at which the holders of the preferred stock may vote, the depositary will mail information about the meeting contained in the notice, and any accompanying proxy materials, to the record holders of the depositary shares relating to the preferred stock. Each record holder of such depositary shares on the record date, which will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock, will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to how the preferred stock underlying the holder's depositary shares should be voted.

The depositary will try, if practical, to vote the number of shares of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares according to the instructions received. We will agree to take all action requested by and deemed necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to vote the preferred stock in that manner. The depositary will not vote any preferred stock for which it does not receive specific instructions from the holders of the depositary shares relating to such preferred stock, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement.

**Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement** 

The form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement may be amended by agreement between us and the depositary at any time. However, any amendment that materially and adversely alters the rights of the existing holders of depositary shares will not be effective unless approved by the record holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares then outstanding. A deposit agreement may be terminated by us or the depositary only if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all outstanding depositary shares relating to the deposit agreement have been redeemed or reacquired by us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all preferred stock of the relevant series has been withdrawn; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• there has been a final distribution on the preferred stock of the relevant series in connection with our
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our business and the distribution has been distributed to the holders of the related depositary shares.

**Charges of Depositary** 

We will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. We will pay associated charges of the depositary for the initial deposit of the preferred stock and any redemption of the preferred stock. Holders of depositary shares will pay transfer and other taxes and governmental charges and any other charges that are stated to be their responsibility in the deposit agreement.

**Miscellaneous** 

We will forward to the depositary, for distribution to the holders of depositary shares, all reports and communications that we must furnish to the holders of the preferred stock. Neither the depositary nor we will be

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
liable if the depositary is prevented or delayed by law or any circumstance beyond its control in performing its obligations under the deposit agreement. Our obligations and the depositary's obligations under the deposit agreement will be limited to performance in good faith of duties set forth in the deposit agreement. Neither the depositary nor we will be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding connected with any depositary shares or preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished to us and/or the depositary. We and the depositary may rely upon written advice of counsel or accountants, or information provided by persons presenting preferred stock for deposit, holders of depositary shares or other persons believed to be competent and on documents believed to be genuine.

**Resignation and Removal of Depositary** 

The depositary may resign at any time by delivering notice to us. We may also remove the depositary at any time. Resignations or removals will take effect when a successor depositary is appointed and it accepts the appointment. The successor depositary must be appointed within 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal and must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States.

**Governing Law** 

The deposit agreement and the deposit receipts will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.

**DESCRIPTION OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS** 

We may issue purchase contracts, including purchase contracts issued as part of a unit with one or more other securities, for the purchase or sale of our debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock. The price of our debt securities or price per share of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares, as applicable, may be fixed at the time the purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula contained in the purchase contracts. We may issue purchase contracts in such amounts and in as many distinct series as we wish.

The applicable prospectus supplement may describe, where applicable, the following information about the purchase contracts issued under it:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the purchase contracts obligate the holder to purchase or sell, or both purchase and sell, our debt
securities, common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares, as applicable, and the nature and amount of each of those securities, or method of determining those amounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the purchase contracts are to be prepaid or not;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the purchase contracts are to be settled by delivery, or by reference or linkage to the value,
performance or level of our common stock or preferred stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any acceleration, cancellation, termination or other provisions relating to the settlement of the purchase
contracts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the purchase contracts; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the purchase contracts will be issued in fully registered global form.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any purchase contracts. The preceding description and any description of purchase contracts in the applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the purchase contract agreement and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating to such purchase contracts.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**DESCRIPTION OF UNITS** 

We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

The applicable prospectus supplement may describe:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under
what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities
comprising the units;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the terms of the unit agreement governing the units;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the units; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the units will be issued in fully registered global form.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any purchase contracts. The preceding description and any description of units in the applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the unit agreement and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating to such units.

**DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS** 

This section describes the general terms and provisions of the warrants. The prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the warrants offered through that prospectus supplement and any general terms outlined in this section that will not apply to those warrants.

We may issue warrants for the purchase of debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock. Warrants may be issued alone or together with securities offered by any prospectus supplement and may be attached to or separate from those securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, which will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not act as an agent or trustee for any holders of warrants.

We have summarized the potential material terms and provisions of the warrant agreements and warrants in this section. We will file the forms of warrant agreements and the certificates representing the warrants as exhibits to a supplement to this registration statement. You should read the applicable forms of warrant agreement and warrant certificate for additional information before you buy any warrants.

**General** 

If warrants for the purchase of debt securities are offered, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of those warrants, including the following if applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the offering price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the currencies in which the warrants are being offered;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the aggregate principal amount, currencies, denominations and terms of the series of the debt securities that can
be purchased if a holder exercises the warrants and the price at which and currencies in which the principal amount may be purchased upon exercise;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the designation and terms of any series of debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or other
securities with which the warrants are being offered and the number of warrants offered with each debt security, share of preferred stock, depositary share or other security;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date on and after which the holder of the warrants can transfer them separately from the related securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date on which the right to exercise the warrants begins and the date on which the right expires;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the warrants will be in registered or bearer form;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• United States federal income tax consequences; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other terms of the warrants.

If warrants for the purchase of preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock are offered, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of those warrants, including the following where applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the offering price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the total number of shares that can be purchased if a holder of the warrants exercises them and, in the case of
warrants for preferred stock or depositary shares, the designation and terms of the series of preferred stock that can be purchased upon exercise or that are underlying the depositary shares that can be purchased upon exercise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the designation and terms of the series of debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or other
securities with which the warrants are being offered and the number of warrants being offered with each debt security, share of preferred stock, depositary share or other security;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date on and after which the holder of the warrants can transfer them separately from the related securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date on which the right to exercise the warrants begins and the date on which the right expires;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• United States federal income tax consequences; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other terms of the warrants.

Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the warrants will be in registered form only.

A holder of warrant certificates may exchange them for new certificates of different denominations, present them for registration of transfer and exercise them at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Until any warrants to purchase debt securities are exercised, the holder of such warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the debt securities that can be purchased upon exercise, including any right to receive payments of principal, premium or interest on the underlying debt securities or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture. Until any warrants to purchase preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock are exercised, holders of such warrants will not have any rights of holders of the underlying preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock, including any right to receive dividends or to exercise any voting rights.

**Exercise of Warrants** 

Each holder of a warrant is entitled to purchase the principal amount of debt securities or the number of shares of preferred stock, depositary shares or shares of common stock, as the case may be, at the exercise price described in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the day when the right to exercise terminates, or a later date if we extend the time for exercise, unexercised warrants will become void.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
A holder of warrants may exercise them by following the general procedure outlined below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delivering to the warrant agent the payment required by the applicable prospectus supplement to purchase the
underlying security;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• properly completing and signing the reverse side of the warrant certificate representing the warrants; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to the warrant agent, or other office indicated in
the applicable prospectus supplement, within five business days of the warrant agent receiving payment of the exercise price.

If you comply with the procedures described above, your warrants will be considered to have been exercised when the warrant agent receives payment of the exercise price. After you have completed those procedures, we will, as soon as practicable, issue and deliver to you the debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock that you purchased upon exercise. If you exercise fewer than all of the warrants represented by a warrant certificate, the warrant agent will issue to you a new warrant certificate for the unexercised amount of warrants. Holders of warrants will be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with transferring the underlying securities in connection with the exercise of the warrants.

**Amendments and Supplements to Warrant Agreements** 

We may amend or supplement a warrant agreement without the consent of the holders of the applicable warrants if the changes are not inconsistent with the provisions of the warrants and do not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of the warrants. We, along with the warrant agent, may also modify or amend a warrant agreement and the terms of the warrants if a majority of the then outstanding unexercised warrants affected by the modification or amendment consent. However, no modification or amendment that accelerates the expiration date, increases the exercise price, reduces the majority consent requirement for any such modification or amendment or otherwise materially adversely affects the rights of the holders of the warrants may be made without the consent of each holder affected by the modification or amendment.

**Common Stock Warrant Adjustments** 

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, the exercise price of, and the number of shares of common stock covered by, a warrant for common stock will be adjusted in the manner set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement if certain events occur, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if we issue common stock as a dividend or distribution on the common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if we subdivide, reclassify or combine the common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if we issue rights or warrants to all holders of common stock entitling them to purchase common stock at less
than the current market price, as defined in the warrant agreement for such series of common stock warrants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if we distribute to all holders of common stock evidences of our indebtedness or our assets, excluding certain
cash dividends and distributions referred to above; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other event described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Except as stated above, the exercise price and number of shares of common stock covered by a common stock warrant will not be adjusted if we issue common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock, or securities carrying the right to purchase common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Holders of common stock warrants may have additional rights under the following circumstances:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a reclassification or change of the common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a consolidation, merger or share exchange involving our company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a sale or conveyance to another corporation of all or substantially all of our property and assets.

If one of the above transactions occurs and holders of our common stock are entitled to receive stock, securities, other property or assets, including cash, with respect to or in exchange for common stock, the holders of the common stock warrants then outstanding will be entitled to receive upon exercise of their common stock warrants the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property that they would have received upon the reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale or conveyance if they had exercised their common stock warrants immediately before the transaction.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION** 

We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus to or through underwriters or dealers, through agents, directly to one or more purchasers or through a combination of methods. No commission will be payable and no discount will be allowed on any sales we or our affiliates make directly.

Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities offered under this prospectus may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act and any discounts or commissions received by them from us and any profit on the resale of the offered securities by them may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any underwriters or agents will be identified and their compensation, including any underwriting discount or commission, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any distribution, including but not limited to "at the market" equity offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, which terms may include the initial public offering price, any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers and any securities exchanges on which the offered securities may be listed, will also be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The distribution of the securities offered under this prospectus may occur from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. In connection with such a transaction, the third parties may sell securities covered by and pursuant to this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. If so, the third party may use securities borrowed from us or others to settle such sales and may use securities received from us to close out any related short positions.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
We may determine the price or other terms of the securities offered under this prospectus by use of an electronic auction. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement how any auction will be conducted to determine the price or any other terms of the securities, how potential investors may participate in the auction and, where applicable, the nature of the underwriters' obligations with respect to the auction.

If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, we will authorize dealers or our agents to solicit offers by institutions to purchase offered securities from us under contracts that provide for payment and delivery on a future date. We must approve all institutions, but they may include, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• commercial and savings banks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• insurance companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pension funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• investment companies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• educational and charitable institutions.

The institutional purchaser's obligations under the contract will only be subject to the condition that the purchase of the offered securities at the time of delivery is allowed by the laws that govern the purchaser. The dealers and our agents will not be responsible for the validity or performance of the contracts.

We may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments which the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make as a result of those certain civil liabilities.

When we issue the securities offered by this prospectus, except for shares of common stock or debt securities issued upon a reopening of an existing series of debt securities, they may be new securities without an established trading market. The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. If we sell a security offered by this prospectus to an underwriter for public offering and sale, the underwriter may make a market for that security, but the underwriter will not be obligated to do so and could discontinue any market making without notice at any time. Therefore, we cannot give any assurances to you concerning the liquidity of any security offered by this prospectus.

Underwriters, dealers and agents and their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us or our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their businesses. In connection with the distribution of the securities offered under this prospectus, we may enter into swap or other hedging transactions with, or arranged by, underwriters or agents or their affiliates. These underwriters or agents or their affiliates may receive compensation, trading gain or other benefits from these transactions.

**Item 15.** ***Indemnification of Directors and Officers.*** <br>

The Registrant is an Indiana corporation. The Registrant's directors and officers are and will be indemnified under Indiana law, the Fifth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Articles") and the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Registrant against certain liabilities. Chapter 37 of the IBCL requires a corporation, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, to indemnify a director or an officer of the corporation who is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, against reasonable expenses, including counsel fees, incurred in connection with the proceeding. The Registrant's Articles do not contain any provision limiting such indemnification.

The IBCL also permits a corporation to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent who is made a party to a proceeding because the person was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against liability incurred in the proceeding if (1) the individual's conduct was in good faith, and (2) the individual reasonably believed (A) in the case of conduct in the individual's official capacity with the corporation, that the conduct was in the corporation's best interests, and (B) in all other cases, that the individual's conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests, and (3) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the individual either (A) had reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was lawful, or (B) had no reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was unlawful. The IBCL also permits a corporation to pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred before the final disposition of the proceeding and permits a court of competent jurisdiction to order a corporation to indemnify a director or officer if the court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the person met the standards for indemnification otherwise provided in the IBCL.

The Registrant's Articles require it to provide indemnification to its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the IBCL and to pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred before the final disposition of the proceeding as authorized by the IBCL. The Registrant's Articles also authorize it to maintain insurance at its expense to protect itself and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents or those of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
IBCL. The Registrant currently maintains directors and officers liability insurance. The Registrant's Amended and Restated By-laws contain indemnification provisions substantially to the same effect as set forth in the Registrant's Articles.

See "Item 17. Undertakings" for a description of the SEC's position regarding the indemnification of directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

\* File herewith

\*\* To be filed by post-effective amendment or by Current Report on Form 8-K.

**Item 17.** ***Undertakings.*** <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

*provided*, *however*, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the
registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration
statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed
to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As
provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration
statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time
of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such
effective date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used
to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications,

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or
used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about
the undersigned registrant or their securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial *bona fide* offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the
eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.

------

Section 104. <u>Acts of Holders; Record Dates</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by
this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 104.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the
affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the
execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution
of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any
Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by
the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such
series, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this Section 104(e) shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in
Section 104(f). If any record date is set pursuant to this Section 104(e), the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or
not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of
such series on such record date. Nothing in this Section 104(e) shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this Section 104(e)
(whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any

Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this Section 104(e) shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this Section 104(e), the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. Nothing in this Section 104(e) shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after the Expiration Date, a new notice identical to a notice which has expired, in which event a new record date shall be established.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in
Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this Section 104(f), the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective
hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this Section 104(f) shall be construed to prevent the
Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this Section 104(f) (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled
and of no effect), and nothing in this Section 104(f) shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken.
Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this Section 104(f), the Trustee, at the Company's expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the
Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. Nothing in this Section 104(f) shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after the Expiration Date, a new
notice identical to a notice which has expired, in which event a new record date shall be established.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 104, the party hereto which sets such record
dates may designate any day as the "Expiration Date" and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is
given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any
record date set pursuant to this Section 104, the party hereto which

------

set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this Section 104(g). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any
particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal
amount.

Section 105. <u>Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company</u>

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or filed in writing (which may be by facsimile or other electronic means of transmission) to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust and Agency Group, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise
herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished
in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent in the form of a manually signed document by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing designated persons with the authority to provide such instructions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons, which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee's understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee's reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding that such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including, without limitation, the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, by overnight courier or by facsimile or other electronic means of transmission, neither the failure to so give such notice, nor any defect in any notice so given, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, by overnight courier or by facsimile or other electronic means of transmission then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to a Holder of a Global Security, such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for such Security (or its designee), pursuant to its Applicable Procedures, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice.

The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof (and premium, if any, hereon) or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

If so provided pursuant to the terms of any specific Securities, the above-referenced provisions of the Indenture regarding the ability of Holders to waive certain defaults, or to request the Trustee to institute proceedings (or to give the Trustee other directions) in respect thereof, may be applied differently with regard to such Securities.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest (if any) on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

------

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Under the Indenture, the Company, the Trustee and the holder of this Security waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to a trial by jury in any proceeding relating to the Securities.

Except to the extent specified in this Security pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture, in the event of any inconsistency between the Indenture and this Security, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xx) any change in the actions permitted or required under this Indenture to be taken by or on behalf of the Holders
of the Securities of the series, including any such change that permits or requires any or all such actions to be taken by or on behalf of the Holders of any specific Securities of the series rather than or in addition to the Holders of all
Securities of the series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xxi) if applicable, the remarketing or extension features of the Securities of the series; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xxii) any other terms of the series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture,
except as permitted by Section 901(7)).

All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to authorized denominations and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 303) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers' Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at one time and, unless otherwise provided, a series, or any issue of Securities of any one series, may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series, or of such issue of Securities, as the case may be.

------

Accordingly, the terms of any Security of a series may differ from the terms of other Securities of the same series, if and to the extent provided pursuant to this Section 301. The matters referenced in any or all of Clauses (i) through (xxii) above may be established and set forth or determined as aforesaid with respect to all or any specific Securities of a series (in each case to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act).

If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth the terms of the Securities of such series. If all of the Securities of any series established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver a record of such action at the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but an appropriate record of such action shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.

Section 302. <u>Denominations</u>

The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof

Section 303. <u>Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating</u>

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel of the Company. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If all of the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time and if the Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and determining the terms of particular Securities of such series, including, without limitation, but subject to such Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture, as the case may be, the interest rate, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue; provided, that the Company shall not issue any such

------

Securities pursuant to such procedures with terms set forth in such Security that would adversely impact the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture or such Securities without the Trustee's prior written consent; provided, further, that, upon the reasonable request of the Company, the Trustee shall promptly inform the Company whether the Trustee believes that a Security issued pursuant to such procedures contains terms to which the Trustee must consent in writing in accordance with the preceding proviso. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, 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 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by
Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by
Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner
and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles and, if applicable, to provisions of law which may
require that a judgment for money damages rendered by a court in the United States be expressed in United States dollars.

If such form or terms have been so established, 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 which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

------

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 304. <u>Temporary Securities</u>

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, reproduced or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor.

Section 305. <u>Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange</u>

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

------

At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days prior to the day of the transmission of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such transmission (or during such period as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for such Securities), or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) below shall apply only to Global Securities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary
designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, and subject to such applicable provisions, if any, as
may be specified as contemplated by Section 301, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than
the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary has notified the Company that it (i) is

------

unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security, (C) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order stating that such Global Security shall be so transferable and exchangeable or (D) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301. If the Company receives a notice of the kind specified in Clause (A) above or delivers the Company Order referenced in Clause (C) above, it may, in its sole discretion, designate a successor Depositary for such Global Security within 60 days after receiving such notice or delivering such Company Order, as the case may be. If the Company designates a successor Depositary as set forth above, such Global Security shall promptly be exchanged in whole for one or more other Global Securities registered in the name of the successor Depositary, whereupon such designated successor shall be the Depositary for such successor Global Security or Global Securities and the provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) (4) and (5) of this Section 305 shall continue to apply thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Subject to Clause (2) above and to such applicable provisions, if any, as may be specified as contemplated
by Section 301, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for
such Global Security shall direct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of,
a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section 305, Section 304, Section 306, Section 906 or Section 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Neither any members of, or participants in, a Depositary, nor any other Persons on whose behalf such members or
participants may act, shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of a Depositary or any nominee thereof, and the applicable Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company or
any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in the form of a Global Security, or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. The Company, the Trustee and any other agent of the Company and any agent of the Trustee shall be entitled to deal with a Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that
is the Holder of a Global Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and

------

interest, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole Holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Company, the Trustee or any other agent of the Company or any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of a Depositary or its nominee with respect to a Global Security, for the records of any such Depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any transactions between such Depositary and any members or participants in such Depositary or other participant in such Depositary or between or among any such Depositary, any such member or participant in such Depositary or other participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Security.

Section 306. <u>Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities</u>

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its absolute discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 306, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section 306 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 306 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

------

Section 307. <u>Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved</u>

Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any Securities of a series, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or made available for payment, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or made available for payment, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest payable on any Securities of a series to the
Person or 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 of such Securities 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 be not more than 15 days and not less
than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of such Securities and the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 106, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such
Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

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

------

Except as may otherwise be provided in this Section 307 or as contemplated in Section 301 (A) with respect to any Securities of a series, the Person to whom interest shall be payable on any Security that first becomes payable on a day that is not an Interest Payment Date shall be the Holder of such Security on the day such interest is paid and (B) installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities to whom the principal shall be payable.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 307, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

In the case of any Security which is converted after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date), interest whose Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion, and such interest (whether or not punctually paid or made available for payment) shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any Security which is converted, interest whose Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion of such Security shall not be payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of any Security that may be converted may provide that the provisions of this paragraph do not apply, or apply with such additions, changes or omissions as may be provided thereby, to such Security.

Section 308. <u>Persons Deemed Owners</u>

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on), and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and holders of beneficial interests in any Global Security, the operation of customary practices and adherence to the Applicable Procedures governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary as Holder of such Global Security.

Section 309. <u>Cancellation</u>

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner

------

whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 309, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. Upon the receipt of a Company Request stating that all cancelled Securities shall be destroyed, all cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its procedures for the disposition of cancelled securities, and a certificate of disposition shall be delivered to the Company upon written request therefrom, unless, by a Company Order, the Company directs the return of such cancelled Securities to it.

Section 310. <u>Computation of Interest</u>

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Section 311. <u>CUSIP Numbers</u>

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

**ARTICLE FOUR** 

**SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE** 

Section 401. <u>Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture</u>

This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of conversion, registration of transfer or exchange of any Security expressly provided for herein or in the terms of such Security), and the Trustee, upon Company Request and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) have become due and payable, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving
of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,

and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose money in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

Section 501. <u>Events of Default</u>

Except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 301 for all or any specific Securities of any series, "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and
continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

(2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that series at its

Security of that series (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 501 specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of
Securities other than Securities of that series; it being understood that to the extent a covenant or warranty is applicable solely to Securities other than Securities of such series, a default in the performance, or breach, of any such covenant or
warranty shall not result in an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee
or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a
"Notice of Default" hereunder; or

(5) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of
the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order
unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

------

(6) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar
official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of
corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or

(7) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series.

The Company shall deliver to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within five (5) days after any of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel of the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default, a written notice setting forth the details of such Event of Default and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto signed in the name of the Company by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel of the Company or a person authorized by such person or by a Board Resolution.

Section 502. <u>Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment</u>

Except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 301 for all or any specific Securities of any series, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or Section 501(6)) with respect to the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, in the case of any Security of that series which specifies an amount to be due and payable thereon upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof, such amount as may be specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. Except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 301 for all or any specific Securities of any series, if an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or Section 501(6) with respect to the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, in the case of any Security of that series which specifies an amount to be due and payable thereon upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof, such amount as may be specified by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. For the avoidance of doubt, upon payment of such amount, all obligations of the Company in respect of the payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest (if any) on the Securities of such series shall terminate.

Except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 301 for all or any specific Securities of any series, at any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article Five provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, and any Event of Default giving rise to such declaration shall not be deemed to have occurred, if:

------

(1) The Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than
by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Securities, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel;

and

(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513 or otherwise remedied.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 503. <u>Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee</u>

The Company covenants that if

(1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and
such default continues for a period of 30 days,

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity
thereof, or

(3) default is made in the making or satisfaction of any sinking fund payment or analogous obligation when the same
becomes due pursuant to the terms of any Security;

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal, including any sinking fund payment or analogous obligation, (and any premium, if any) and interest, if any and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

------

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 504. <u>Trustee May File Proofs of Claim</u>

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of all series and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or other similar committee.

------

Section 505. <u>Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities</u>

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 506. <u>Application of Money Collected</u>

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

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on the Securities 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, if any, respectively; and

THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or to any other Person who may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Section 507. <u>Limitation on Suits</u>

No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Securities, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of that series;

(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have
made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee
against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

------

(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to
institute any such proceeding; and

(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

Section 508. <u>Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest and to Convert</u>

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and, if the terms of such Security so provide, to convert such Security in accordance with its terms, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and, if applicable, any such right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 509. <u>Restoration of Rights and Remedies</u>

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 510. <u>Rights and Remedies Cumulative</u>

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

------

Section 511. <u>Delay or Omission Not Waiver</u>

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Five or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 512. <u>Control by Holders</u>

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that

(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and

(2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction.

Section 513. <u>Waiver of Past Defaults</u>

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default

series, or

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 514. <u>Undertaking for Costs</u>

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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section 514 nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or the Trustee or if applicable, in any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with its terms.

------

Section 515. <u>Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws</u>

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

**THE TRUSTEE** 

Section 601. <u>Certain Duties and Responsibilities</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof
are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man or woman would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) this Subsection 601(c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this
Section 601;

remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 601.

Section 602. <u>Notice of Defaults</u>

Within 90 days after receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of written notice of the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall deliver the Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 90 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section 602, the term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

To the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series or a trustee under any other indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding if the requirements set forth in the Trust Indenture Act are met.

Section 609. <u>Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility</u>

If any such corporation publishes reports of condition at least

------

annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 609 and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 609, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article Six.

Section 610. <u>Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article Six
shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written
notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If at any time:

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the Company or by any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

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

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the
office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being
understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall
comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed
by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at
least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 611. <u>Acceptance of Appointment by Successor</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such
successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee
shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property
and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject to such retiring Trustee's security interest under Section 607.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 (1) 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, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable
to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and
(3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such
supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees' co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts
hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; 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 and each such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, subject to such retiring Trustee's security interest under Section 607.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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) and (b) of this Section 611, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Six.

Section 612. <u>Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business</u>

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided

------

such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Six, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

Section 613. <u>Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company</u>

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

Section 614. <u>Appointment of Authenticating Agent</u>

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

------

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607.

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 301 for all or any specific Securities of any series, the Company or the Trustee may, to the extent it is required to do so by applicable law, deduct or withhold taxes imposed by the United States of America or other domestic or foreign taxing authorities from the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest payments hereunder or under any Security.

Section 1002. <u>Maintenance of Office or Agency</u>

The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or conversion, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served.

With respect to any Global Security, and except as otherwise may be specified for such Global Security as contemplated by Section 301, the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall be the Place of Payment where such Global Security may be presented or surrendered for payment or conversion or for registration of transfer or exchange, or where successor Securities may be delivered in exchange therefor, provided, however, that any such payment, presentation, surrender or delivery effected pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary for such Global Security shall be deemed to have been effected at the Place of Payment for such Global Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 1003. <u>Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust</u>

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest, if any, on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to act.

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 (or premium, if any, on) or interest, if any, on any Securities of that series, deposit (or, if the Company has deposited any trust funds with a trustee pursuant to Section 1304(1), cause such trustee to deposit) with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to act.

------

The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 1003, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series.

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. If the Company fails to make any payment contemplated by this paragraph, the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such failure so to act.

Subject to applicable law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest, if any, on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in each place in connection with which the term is used or in the financial community of each such place notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 1004. <u>Statement by Officers as to Default</u>

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers' Certificate, stating that a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of the Company's performance under this Indenture has been made under the supervision of the signers thereof, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

------

Section 1005. <u>[Reserved]</u>

Section 1006. <u>Waiver of Certain Covenants</u>

Except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301 for all or any Securities of any series, the Company may, with respect to all or any Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Sections 301(xviii), 901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such series or in any of Article Eight if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 1006 shall not apply to any covenant of the Company to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on the Securities.

**ARTICLE ELEVEN** 

**REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES** 

Section 1101. <u>Applicability of Article</u>

Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article Eleven.

Section 1102. <u>Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee</u>

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series (including any such redemption affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities 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 Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

Section 1103. <u>Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed</u>

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series subject to redemption and not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a

------

portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series, provided, that to the extent the Securities of such series to be redeemed are in the form of a Global Security, the Securities of such series to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, and provided further that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, or in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, as the case may be, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

Unless the Securities to be redeemed are in the form of a Global Security, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as set forth above and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as set forth above, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

The provisions of the first and third preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

Section 1104. <u>Notice of Redemption</u>

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106 not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date (or within such period as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the relevant Securities), to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his or her address appearing in the Security Register or, if the Securities to be redeemed are in the form of Global Securities, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including, subject to Section 311, CUSIP numbers, if any) and shall state:

(1) the Redemption Date,

------

(2) the Redemption Price,

(3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a single Security are to be
redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all, the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single
Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed,

(4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be
redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,

(5) for any Securities that by their terms may be converted, the terms of conversion, the date on which the right
to convert the Security to be redeemed will terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion,

(6) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and

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

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, delivered at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date such notice is to be given (unless a shorter period of time shall be acceptable to the Trustee), by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

Section 1105. <u>Deposit of Redemption Price</u>

Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date, other than any Securities called for redemption on that date which have been converted prior to the date of such deposit.

If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or with any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall (subject to any right of the Holder of such Security or any Predecessor Security to receive interest as provided in the last two paragraphs of Section 307 or in the terms of such Security) be paid to the Company upon Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust.

------

Section 1106. <u>Securities Payable on Redemption Date</u>

Notice of redemption having been given as set forth above, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates, and installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities to whom the principal shall be payable, in each case, according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) and, if applicable, overdue interest shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

Section 1107. <u>Securities Redeemed in Part</u>

Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. If a Global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall be a new Global Security.

**ARTICLE TWELVE** 

**SINKING FUNDS** 

Section 1201. <u>Applicability of Article</u>

The provisions of this Article Twelve shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities.

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any Securities 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 such Securities is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities.

------

Section 1202. <u>Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities</u>

The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been converted in accordance with their terms or which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided, that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed (or at such other prices as may be specified for such Securities as contemplated in Section 301), for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 1203. <u>Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund</u>

Not less than 60 days (or such shorter period as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 60 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 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 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

**ARTICLE THIRTEEN** 

**DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE** 

Section 1301. <u>Company</u><u>'</u><u>s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance</u>

The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 1302 or Section 1303 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, designated pursuant to Section 301 as being defeasible pursuant to such Section 1302 or 1303, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 301 and upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Thirteen. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities.

------

Section 1302. <u>Defeasance and Discharge</u>

Upon the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section 1302 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section 1302 on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called "Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense and direction of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the Company's obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (including, without limitation, the Company's obligations to the Trustee under Section 607(3)) and (4) this Article Thirteen. Subject to compliance with this Article Thirteen, the Company may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section 1302 applied to any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 1303 applied to such Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, following a Defeasance of any series of Securities, payment of the Securities of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.

Section 1303. <u>Covenant Defeasance</u>

Upon the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section 1303 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, (1) the Company shall be released from its obligations under and any covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(xviii), 901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 501(4) (with respect to any such covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(xviii), Section 901(2) or Section 901(7)) and, if applicable, pursuant to Section 501(7) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section 1303 on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called "Covenant Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 501(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, following a Covenant Defeasance with respect to any Securities or series of Securities, payment of the Securities of such series of Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Clause (2) of this Section 1303.

Section 1304. <u>Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance</u>

The following shall be the conditions precedent or, as specifically noted below, subsequent to application of either Section 1302 or Section 1303 to the Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be:

------

(1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee
which satisfies the requirements contemplated by Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as
security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance
with their terms will provide, not later than one day prior to the due date of any payment, money in an amount, (C) such other obligations or arrangements as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Securities
or (D) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall
be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on such Securities on the respective Stated Maturities, to maturity or redemption, as
the case may be, and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to the Outstanding Securities of such series on the due dates thereof. Before such a deposit the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date or dates in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities. As used herein, "U.S. Government Obligation" means (x) any security which is (i) a direct
obligation of the United States of America for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of
the United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer
thereof, and (y) any depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation which is specified in Clause (x) above and held by such bank
for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific payment of principal of or interest on any U.S. Government Obligation which is so specified and held, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian
is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal or interest
evidenced by such depositary receipt.

(2) No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to
such Securities or any other Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 501(5) and (6), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit
(it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day).

(3) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not (A) cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest
within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act) or (B) result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of
the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under the Investment Company Act or exempt from registration thereunder.

------

(4) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

(5) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause any Securities of such series then listed on any
registered national securities exchange under the Exchange Act to be delisted.

(6) In the event of an election to have Section 1302 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as
the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this
Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for
Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the
case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.

(7) In the event of an election to have Section 1303 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as
the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant
Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

(8) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional terms, conditions or
limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.

(9) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Section 1305. <u>Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions</u>

Subject to the provisions of the fifth paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section 1305, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying

------

Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

Anything in this Article Thirteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if and to the extent the deposited money or U.S. Government Obligations (or the proceeds thereof) either (i) cannot be applied by the Trustee in accordance with this Section 1305 because of a court order or (ii) are for any reason insufficient in amount, then the Company's obligations to pay principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (if any) on the Securities of such series shall be reinstated to the extent necessary to cover the deficiency on any due date for payment. In any case specified in Clause (i), the Company's interest in the deposited money and U.S. Government Obligations (and proceeds thereof) shall be reinstated to the extent the Company's payment obligations are reinstated.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

------

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested, all as of the day and year first above written.

Old National Bancorp

One Main Street

Evansville, IN 47708

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned is providing this opinion as Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary of Old National Bancorp, an Indiana corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the filing of the Company's registration statement on Form S-3ASR (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The Registration Statement registers (i) shares of common stock of the Company, without par value (the "Common Stock"); (ii) shares of preferred stock of the Company, without par value (the "Preferred Stock"); (iii) depositary shares of the Company representing Preferred Stock (the "Depositary Shares"); (iv) debt securities, including senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities, of the Company (the "Debt Securities"); (v) warrants of the Company to purchase Debt Securities, Preferred Stock, Depositary Shares or Common Stock, (the "Warrants"); (vi) purchase contracts of the Company with respect to Debt Securities, Preferred Stock, Depositary Shares or Common Stock (the "Purchase Contracts"); and (vii) units of the Company, comprised of one or more Securities, as defined below (the "Units" and, together with the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares, the Debt Securities, the Warrants and the Purchase Contracts, the "Securities").

In connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, I have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as I have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

Upon the basis of such examination, I advise you that, in my opinion:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing under the laws of the State of Indiana.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Common Stock.* When the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, the terms of the
Common Stock and of their issuance and sale have been duly established in conformity with the Company's Fifth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Articles") and the Common Stock has been duly issued and
sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement, and if all the foregoing actions are taken pursuant to authority granted in resolutions duly adopted by the Company's Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and so as not
to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over
the Company, the Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Common Stock covered by the opinion in this paragraph includes any Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise or otherwise pursuant to the terms of any other
Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) *Preferred Stock.* When the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, the terms of the
Preferred Stock and of their issuance and sale have been duly established in conformity with the Company's Articles, an appropriate certificate of designations with respect to the Preferred Stock has been duly filed with the Secretary of State
of the State of Indiana and when the Preferred Stock has been duly issued and sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement, and if all the foregoing actions are taken pursuant to authority granted in resolutions duly adopted by the
Company's Board of

------

Directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, the Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Preferred Stock covered by the opinion in this paragraph includes any Preferred Stock that may be represented by Depositary Shares or may be issued upon exercise or otherwise pursuant to the terms of any other Securities.

The foregoing opinion is limited to laws of the State of Indiana, and I am expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

I have relied as to certain factual matters on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and other sources believed by me to be responsible, and I have assumed that the governing documents under which the Securities are to be issued will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto other than the Company and that the signatures on documents examined by me are genuine.

In rendering the foregoing opinion, I am not passing upon, and assume no responsibility for, any disclosure in the Registration Statement or any related prospectus or other offering material relating to the offer and sale of the Securities.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to me under the heading "Validity of the Securities" in the prospectus contained therein. In giving such consent, I do not thereby admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.

Evansville, IN 47708

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the filing by Old National Bancorp, an Indiana corporation (the "Company"), of a registration statement on Form S-3ASR (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), in connection with the registration of (i) shares of common stock of the Company, without par value (the "Common Stock"); (ii) shares of preferred stock of the Company, without par value (the "Preferred Stock"); (iii) depositary shares of the Company representing Preferred Stock (the "Depositary Shares"); (iv) debt securities, including senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities, of the Company (the "Debt Securities"); (v) warrants of the Company to purchase Debt Securities, Preferred Stock, Depositary Shares or Common Stock, (the "Warrants"); (vi) purchase contracts of the Company with respect to Debt Securities, Preferred Stock, Depositary Shares or Common Stock (the "Purchase Contracts"); and (vii) units of the Company, comprised of one or more Securities, as defined below (the "Units" and, together with the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares, the Debt Securities, the Warrants, and the Purchase Contracts, the "Securities"), we, as your counsel, have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Upon the basis of such examination, it is our opinion that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) When the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, the terms of the deposit agreement under
which the Depositary Shares are to be issued (the "Deposit Agreement") have been established so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so as
to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, the Deposit Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, the terms of the Depositary
Shares and of their issuance and sale have been duly established in conformity with the Deposit Agreement so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so
as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, the Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares has been duly authorized and validly issued and is delivered to
the depositary, and the depositary receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares have been duly issued against deposit of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the Deposit Agreement and issued and sold for a price determined by the Company's
Board of Directors, the depositary receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares will be validly issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) When the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, the indentures (each, an
"Indenture") relating to the relevant Debt Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered, the terms of a particular Debt Security and of its issuance and sale have been duly established in conformity with the Indenture
relating to the Debt Security so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or
governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, and the Debt Securities have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the related Indenture and issued and sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the basic
prospectus included therein and the appropriate

------

prospectus supplement or supplements, the Debt Securities will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) When the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, the terms of the warrant agreement under
which the Warrants are to be issued (the "Warrant Agreement") have been duly established and the Warrant Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, the terms of the Warrants and of their issuance
and sale have been duly established in conformity with the Warrant Agreement and the Warrants have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the Warrant Agreement and issued and sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement, and
if all the foregoing actions are taken so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any
court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, the Warrants will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws
of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) When the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, the terms of the governing instruments or
agreements under which the Purchase Contracts are to be issued have been duly established and such governing documents have been duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto, the terms of such Purchase Contracts and of their issuance and sale
have been duly established in conformity with the applicable governing documents and such Purchase Contracts have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the applicable governing documents and issued and sold as contemplated in the
Registration Statement, and if all the foregoing actions are taken so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so as to comply with any requirement or
restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, such Purchase Contracts will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) When the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, the terms of the unit agreement under which
the Units are to be issued (the "Unit Agreement") have been duly established and the Unit Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto, the terms of the Units and of their issuance and sale have been duly
established in conformity with the Unit Agreement and the Units have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the Unit Agreement and issued and sold as contemplated in the Registration Statement, and if all the foregoing actions are
taken so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having
jurisdiction over the Company, the Units will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to
or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles.

In rendering the foregoing opinion, we are not passing upon, and assume no responsibility for, any disclosure in the Registration Statement or any related prospectus or other offering material relating to the offer and sale of the Securities.

The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York, and we are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

**<u>Exhibit 1</u>**

**ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION** 

**OF** 

**U. S. BANK TRUST COMPANY, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION** 

For the purpose of organizing an association (the "Association") to perform any lawful activities of national banks, the undersigned enter into the following Articles of Association:

**FIRST.** The title of this Association shall be U. S. Bank Trust Company, National Association.

**SECOND.** The main office of the Association shall be in the city of Portland, county of Multnomah, state of Oregon. The business of the Association will be limited to fiduciary powers and the support of activities incidental to the exercise of those powers. The Association may not expand or alter its business beyond that stated in this article without the prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.

**THIRD.** The board of directors of the Association shall consist of not less than five nor more than twenty-five persons, the exact number to be fixed and determined from time to time by resolution of a majority of the full board of directors or by resolution of a majority of the shareholders at any annual or special meeting thereof. Each director shall own common or preferred stock of the Association or of a holding company owning the Association, with an aggregate par, fair market, or equity value of not less than $1,000, as of either (i) the date of purchase, (ii) the date the person became a director, or (iii) the date of that person's most recent election to the board of directors, whichever is more recent. Any combination of common or preferred stock of the Association or holding company may be used.

Any vacancy in the board of directors may be filled by action of a majority of the remaining directors between meetings of shareholders. The board of directors may increase the number of directors up to the maximum permitted by law. Terms of directors, including directors selected to fill vacancies, shall expire at the next regular meeting of shareholders at which directors are elected, unless the directors resign or are removed from office. Despite the expiration of a director's term, the director shall continue to serve until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until there is a decrease in the number of directors and his or her position is eliminated.

Honorary or advisory members of the board of directors, without voting power or power of final decision in matters concerning the business of the Association, may be appointed by resolution of a majority of the full board of directors, or by resolution of shareholders at any annual or special meeting. Honorary or advisory directors shall not be counted to determined the number of directors of the Association or the presence of a quorum in connection with any board action, and shall not be required to own qualifying shares.

------

**FOURTH.** There shall be an annual meeting of the shareholders to elect directors and transact whatever other business may be brought before the meeting. It shall be held at the main office or any other convenient place the board of directors may designate, on the day of each year specified therefor in the Bylaws, or if that day falls on a legal holiday in the state in which the Association is located, on the next following banking day. If no election is held on the day fixed or in the event of a legal holiday on the following banking day, an election may be held on any subsequent day within 60 days of the day fixed, to be designated by the board of directors, or, if the directors fail to fix the day, by shareholders representing two-thirds of the shares issued and outstanding. In all cases, at least 10 days' advance notice of the meeting shall be given to the shareholders by first-class mail.

In all elections of directors, the number of votes each common shareholder may cast will be determined by multiplying the number of shares he or she owns by the number of directors to be elected. Those votes may be cumulated and cast for a single candidate or may be distributed among two or more candidates in the manner selected by the shareholder. On all other questions, each common shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by him or her.

A director may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the board of directors, its chairperson, or to the Association, which resignation shall be effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date.

A director may be removed by the shareholders at a meeting called to remove him or her, when notice of the meeting stating that the purpose or one of the purposes is to remove him or her is provided, if there is a failure to fulfill one of the affirmative requirements for qualification, or for cause; provided, however, that a director may not be removed if the number of votes sufficient to elect him or her under cumulative voting is voted against his or her removal.

**FIFTH.** The authorized amount of capital stock of the Association shall be 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the par value of ten dollars ($10) each; but said capital stock may be increased or decreased from time to time, according to the provisions of the laws of the United States. The Association shall have only one class of capital stock.

No holder of shares of the capital stock of any class of the Association shall have any preemptive or preferential right of subscription to any shares of any class of stock of the Association, whether now or hereafter authorized, or to any obligations convertible into stock of the Association, issued, or sold, nor any right of subscription to any thereof other than such, if any, as the board of directors, in its discretion, may from time to time determine and at such price as the board of directors may from time to time fix.

Transfers of the Association's stock are subject to the prior written approval of a federal depository institution regulatory agency. If no other agency approval is required, the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency must be obtained prior to any such transfers.

Unless otherwise specified in the Articles of Association or required by law, (1) all matters requiring shareholder action, including amendments to the Articles of Association must be approved by shareholders owning a majority voting interest in the outstanding voting stock, and (2) each shareholder shall be entitled to one vote per share.

------

Unless otherwise specified in the Articles of Association or required by law, all shares of voting stock shall be voted together as a class, on any matters requiring shareholder approval.

Unless otherwise provided in the Bylaws, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting is the close of business on the day before the first notice is mailed or otherwise sent to the shareholders, provided that in no event may a record date be more than 70 days before the meeting.

The Association, at any time and from time to time, may authorize and issue debt obligations, whether subordinated, without the approval of the shareholders. Obligations classified as debt, whether subordinated, which may be issued by the Association without the approval of shareholders, do not carry voting rights on any issue, including an increase or decrease in the aggregate number of the securities, or the exchange or reclassification of all or part of securities into securities of another class or series.

**SIXTH.** The board of directors shall appoint one of its members president of this Association and one of its members chairperson of the board and shall have the power to appoint one or more vice presidents, a secretary who shall keep minutes of the directors' and shareholders' meetings and be responsible for authenticating the records of the Association, and such other officers and employees as may be required to transact the business of this Association. A duly appointed officer may appoint one or more officers or assistant officers if authorized by the board of directors in accordance with the Bylaws.

The board of directors shall have the power to:

(1) Define the duties of the officers, employees, and agents of the Association.

(2) Delegate the performance of its duties, but not the responsibility for its duties, to the officers, employees,
and agents of the Association.

(3) Fix the compensation and enter employment contracts with its officers and employees upon reasonable terms and
conditions consistent with applicable law.

(4) Dismiss officers and employees.

(5) Require bonds from officers and employees and to fix the penalty thereof.

(6) Ratify written policies authorized by the Association's management or committees of the board.

(7) Regulate the manner any increase or decrease of the capital of the Association shall be made; provided that

for shareholder approval to increase or reduce the capital.

------

(8) Manage and administer the business and affairs of the Association.

(9) Adopt initial Bylaws, not inconsistent with law or the Articles of Association, for managing the business and
regulating the affairs of the Association.

(10) Amend or repeal Bylaws, except to the extent that the Articles of Association reserve this power in whole or in
part to the shareholders.

(11) Make contracts.

(12) Generally perform all acts that are legal for a board of directors to perform.

**SEVENTH.** The board of directors shall have the power to change the location of the main office to any authorized branch within the limits of the city of Portland, Oregon, without the approval of the shareholders, or with a vote of shareholders owning two-thirds of the stock of the Association for a location outside such limits and upon receipt of a certificate of approval from the Comptroller of the Currency, to any other location within or outside the limits of the city of Portland, Oregon, but not more than thirty miles beyond such limits. The board of directors shall have the power to establish or change the location of any office or offices of the Association to any other location permitted under applicable law, without approval of shareholders, subject to approval by the Comptroller of the Currency.

**EIGHTH.** The corporate existence of this Association shall continue until termination according to the laws of the United States.

**NINTH.** The board of directors of the Association, or any shareholder owning, in the aggregate, not less than 25 percent of the stock of the Association, may call a special meeting of shareholders at any time. Unless otherwise provided by the Bylaws or the laws of the United States, or waived by shareholders, a notice of the time, place, and purpose of every annual and special meeting of the shareholders shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed at least 10, and no more than 60, days prior to the date of the meeting to each shareholder of record at his/her address as shown upon the books of the Association. Unless otherwise provided by the Bylaws, any action requiring approval of shareholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting.

**TENTH.** These Articles of Association may be amended at any regular or special meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Association, unless the vote of the holders of a greater amount of stock is required by law, and in that case by the vote of the holders of such greater amount; provided, that the scope of the Association's activities and services may not be expanded without the prior written approval of the Comptroller of the Currency. The Association's board of directors may propose one or more amendments to the Articles of Association for submission to the shareholders.
