Director Fee Arrangements

 

The non-employee directors of Sunshine Savings Bank receive compensation for their service on the board of directors of the Bank.  In setting their compensation, the board of directors considers the significant amount of time and level of skill required for director service.  Director compensation is reviewed annually by the compensation committee, which makes recommendations for approval by the board of directors of the Bank.  As of June 30, 2010, board compensation consisted of fees of $300 for each board meeting attended, for all non-employee directors except the chairman, who receives $375 per board meeting attended.  In addition, members of the audit committee and compensation committee each receive $75 for each committee meeting attended.  Except as set forth above, the directors are not paid additional fees for service on various board committees of the Bank.  Directors who are also employees of Sunshine Savings Bank do not receive any compensation for their service on the Board of Directors.

 

The board of directors of Sunshine Financial, Inc., the holding company for Sunshine Savings Bank, is identical to that of the Bank.  No board fees are paid for service on the board of directors of Sunshine Financial, Inc.SENIOR DEBT INDENTURE BETWEEN REGISTRANT AND UNION BANK, N.A.

2.2.22 any depositories, interest rate calculation agents, exchange rate agents or other agents with respect to Securities
of such Series if other than those appointed herein. 
 All Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and
may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate referred to above or as set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto, and, unless
otherwise provided, the authorized principal amount of any Series may be increased to provide for issuances of additional Securities of such Series. 

SECTION 2.3 Execution and Authentication. 

One Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no
longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Security
shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

The Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the
Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate detailing the adoption of terms pursuant to the Board Resolution, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. If provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize authentication and
delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication unless
otherwise provided by Board Resolution or supplemental indenture hereto. 
 The aggregate principal amount of Securities of any
Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture hereto delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, except
as provided in Section 2.8. 
  

 10 

 Prior to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and
(subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate detailing the adoption of terms pursuant to the Board Resolution or a supplemental indenture hereto establishing the
form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 10.4, and (c) an
Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4. 
 The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver
any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust
committee of directors and/or vice-presidents shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may
authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an
Affiliate. 
 SECTION 2.4 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Notes, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant
to Section 2.2, an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”), where Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
(“Registrar”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be served (“Service Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of
Securities and to their transfer and exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent. If at any time the Company
shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional service agents and may
from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent in each place so
specified pursuant to Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such
co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional service agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying 

 

 11 

 
Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Service Agent” includes any additional service agent. 

The Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent for each Series unless another Registrar,
Paying Agent or Service Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued. 
 SECTION 2.5
Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 
 The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in
writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Security holders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal or interest on the Series of Securities, and will
notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to
pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall
segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent. 

SECTION 2.6 Securityholder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at
such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities. 

SECTION 2.7 Transfer and Exchange. 

Where Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them
for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series and date of maturity of other denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of
transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.11 or
9.6). 
 Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange
Securities of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that 

 

 12 

 
Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or
being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part. 

SECTION 2.8 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefore 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 upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, 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 discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 

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

Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section 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 are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

SECTION 2.9 Outstanding Securities. 

The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those
delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding. 

 

 13 

 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until
the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the Paying
Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds on the Maturity date of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series
cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the
Company or an Affiliate holds the Security. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of
outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, (a) the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount
of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2, and (b) the principal amount of a Security denominated in any
Foreign Currency or composite currency which shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the U.S. dollar equivalent, determined as of such date in the manner provided as contemplated by Section 2.2, of the principal amount of
such Security (or, in the case of a Security described in clause (a) above, of the amount determined as provided in such clause). 

SECTION 2.10 Treasury Securities. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any direction, waiver or
consent, Securities of a Series owned by the Company or an Affiliate shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities of a
Series that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
 SECTION 2.11 Temporary Securities. 

Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon
a Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the
Trustee upon request shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive
Securities. 
 SECTION 2.12 Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the
Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy such

  

 14 

 
cancelled Securities (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act) and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company, unless the Company otherwise directs. The
Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.13
Defaulted Interest. 
 If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it shall pay the
defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Securityholders of the Series on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix the record date and payment
date. At least 30 days before the record date, the Company shall mail to the Trustee and to each Securityholder of the Series a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid. The Company may pay defaulted
interest in any other lawful manner. 
 SECTION 2.14 Global Securities. 

2.14.1 Terms of Securities. A supplemental indenture to the Indenture or a Board Resolution (and, to the extent not
set forth in the Board Resolution, an Officers’ Certificate detailing the adoption of terms pursuant to the Board Resolution) shall establish whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more
Global Securities and the Depository for such Global Security or Securities. 
 2.14.2 Transfer and
Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for securities registered in
the names of Holders other than the Depository for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security or if at any time such Depository
ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depository within 90 days of such event, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable or (iii) an event shall have happened and be continuing which is or after notice or lapse of time or both, would be, an Event of Default with respect to the Securities
represented by such Global Security. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depository shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms. 
 Except as provided in this
Section 2.14.2, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depository, by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such
Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository. 

2.14.3 Legend. Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

  

 15 

 “This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter
referred to and is registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depository or its nominee only in the limited circumstances
described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository, by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee
to a successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.” 
 2.14.4 Acts of Holders.
The Depository, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the
Indenture. 
 2.14.5 Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 2.2, payment of the principal of and interest on any Global Security shall be made to the person specified therein. 

2.14.6 Consents, Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.14.5, the Company, the Trustee
and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depository with respect to such Global Security,
for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture. 
 SECTION
2.15 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. 
 The Company in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP, ISIN and or/similar numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use such numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as
printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or
omission of such numbers. 
 ARTICLE III

Notice to Trustees. 
 The Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the
Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof before maturity at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or
is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal

  

 16 

 
amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice at least 60 days before the redemption date (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee).

 SECTION 3.2 Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. 

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution or by a supplemental indenture hereto (or to the extent not set
forth in such Board Resolution or supplemental indenture, in an Officers’ Certificate so indicating pursuant to the Board Resolution), if less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of
the Series to be redeemed in any manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions
of the principal of Securities of the Series that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 or, with respect to Securities of any Series
issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2.8, the minimum principal denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to
portions of Securities of that Series called for redemption. 
 SECTION 3.3 Notice of Redemption. 

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution or by a supplemental indenture hereto (or to the extent not set
forth in such Board Resolution or supplemental indenture, in an Officers’ Certificate so indicating pursuant to the Board Resolution), at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of
redemption by first-class mail to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed and if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish on one occasion a notice in an Authorized Newspaper.

(a) the redemption date; 

(b) the redemption price; 

(c) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(d) that Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption
price; 
 (e) that interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the
redemption date; and 
 (f) any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the
Securities of a Series being redeemed. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Company’s name and at its expense. 
  

 17 

 SECTION 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed or published as provided in Section 3.3, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due
and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

 SECTION 3.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. 

On or before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and
accrued interest on all Securities to be redeemed on that date.

Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount which, together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all other Indebtedness of the 

 

 20

 23 

 (h) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that
Series. 
 SECTION 6.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case
the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that Series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as
may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of all of the Securities of that Series 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. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(f) or (g) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of all outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become
and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 At any time
after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to 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 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 if: 

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

(i) all overdue interest on all Securities of that Series, 

(ii) the principal of 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 therefore in such Securities, 
 (iii) to the
extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon any overdue principal and overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefore in such Securities, and 

(iv) 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 
 (b) 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 6.13. 

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

 

 24 

 SECTION 6.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

The Company covenants that if: 

(a) 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 60 days, or 
 (b) default is made in the payment of principal of any Security
at the Maturity thereof, or 
 (c) default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when and as due by
the terms of a 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 and interest and, to the extent that payment
of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal or any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefore 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 deemed 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 any 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 6.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or
other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be
due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest
owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents 
  

 25 

 
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 
 (b) 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 7.7. 

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

SECTION 6.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been
recovered. 
 SECTION 6.6 Application of Money Collected. 

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or interest, 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 7.7; and 

Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest 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 interest, respectively; and 

Third: To the Company. 
  

 26 

 SECTION 6.7 Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder of any Security of any Series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 
 (a) such
Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that Series; 

(b) 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; 

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to
be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (e) 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 such Holders. 
 SECTION 6.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive
Principal and Interest. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the
right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 6.9
Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the
Company, the 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. 
  

 27 

 SECTION 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in
Section 2.8, 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 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

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 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 6.12 Control by Holders. 

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 

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

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and

 (c) subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any
such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

SECTION 6.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of
all the Securities of such Series waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences, except a Default (1) in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series or (2) in respect of a
covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX 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. 

 

 28 

 SECTION 6.14 Undertaking for Costs. 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any
court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders,
holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the Stated
Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date). 

ARTICLE VII 

TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 7.1
Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall
exercise 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 would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(i) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others.

 (ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such
Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or
not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for
its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i)
This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section. 
  

 29 

 (ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 

(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it with respect
to Securities of any Series in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such Series. 

(d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraph (a), (b) and
(c) of this Section. 
 (e) The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless
it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be
liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

(g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties, 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 is not reasonably assured to
it. 
 (h) The Paying Agent, the Registrar and any authenticating agent shall be entitled to the protections,
immunities and standard of care as are set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section with respect to the Trustee. 

SECTION 7.2 Rights of Trustee. 

(a) The Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document believed by it to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 

(c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent
appointed with due care. No Depository shall be deemed an agent of the Trustee and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission by any Depository. 

 

 30 

 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers. 
 (e) The Trustee may consult
with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 

(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
request or direction of any of the Holders of Securities unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request
or direction. 
 SECTION 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company
or an Affiliate with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

SECTION 7.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for
the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its authentication. 

SECTION 7.5 Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series and if it is known to a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the Securities of that Series and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper, notice of a Default or Event of
Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment on any Security of any Series, the
Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate trust committee or a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders of that Series. 

SECTION 7.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

Within 60 days after May 15 in each year, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders, as their names and addresses
appear on the Security Register, and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish in an Authorized Newspaper, a brief report dated as of such May 15, in accordance with, and to the extent required under, TIA § 313. 

 

 31 

 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders of any Series shall be
filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Securities of that Series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when Securities of any Series are listed on any stock exchange. 

SECTION 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Trustee’s compensation shall
not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and
expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Company shall indemnify the Trustee (including the cost of defending
itself) against any loss, liability or expense incurred by it except as set forth in the next paragraph in the performance of its duties under this Indenture as Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which
it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for
any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee. 

The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer,
director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through negligence or bad faith. 
 To secure the Company’s payment
obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any Series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Securities of that
Series. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(f) or
(g) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

SECTION 7.8 Replacement of Trustee. 

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. 
 The Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities
of one or more Series by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. By notifying the
Trustee, the Company may at any time remove the Trustee with 
  

 32 

 
respect to Securities of one or more Series unless an Event of Default occurs and is then continuing with respect to such Securities, or if: 

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under
any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (c) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

 (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

 If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee. 
 If the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series fails to comply with
Section 7.10, any Securityholder of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after
that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to each Series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to each Securityholder of
each such Series and if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish such notice on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under
Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it prior to such replacement. 

SECTION 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to,
another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

Securities or money were deposited or received. 
 This provision shall not authorize the sale by the Trustee of any U.S.
Government Obligations or Foreign Government Securities held under this Indenture.

Securityholder: 
 (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 

(b) to comply with Article V; 

(c) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; provided that
such amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholders; 
 (d) to make any
change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder; 
 (e) to provide for the issuance of and
establish the form and terms and conditions of Securities of any Series as permitted by this Indenture; 
 (f) to
evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series and to 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; or 
 (g) to comply with
requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA. 
 SECTION 9.2 With Consent of
Holders. 
 The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of
at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Securityholders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of each Series affected by such waiver by notice to the Trustee may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities with respect to such Series. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any
proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After a supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities
affected thereby and, if any Bearer Securities affected thereby are outstanding, publish on one 
  

 39 

 
occasion in an Authorized Newspaper, a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail or publish such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 SECTION 9.3 Limitations. 

Without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may not: 

(a) change the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

(b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any Security;

 (c) reduce the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone
the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation; 
 (d) waive a Default or Event of
Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of
such Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 
 (e) make the Security
payable in currency other than that stated in the Security; 
 (f) make any change in Sections 6.8, 6.13, 9.3
(this sentence) or 10.15; or 
 (g) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security or change any of the
provisions with respect to the redemption of any Securities. 
 SECTION 9.4 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that
complies with the TIA as then in effect. 
 SECTION 9.5 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the
consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. 
  

 40 

 Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Securityholder of each Series
affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (a) through (g) of Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every
subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security. 
 SECTION 9.6
Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 
 The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on
any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver. 

SECTION 9.7 Trustee Protected. 

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications
thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

ARTICLE XI 

SINKING FUNDS 
 SECTION
11.1 Applicability of Article. 
 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the
retirement of the Securities of a Series, except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this Indenture. 

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a
“mandatory sinking fund payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series,
the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such
Series. 
 SECTION 11.2 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such Series to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and
(2) apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any
mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such
Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption, and shall be
credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or
credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2, the principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call
Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment,
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by
the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Company. 

 

 45 

 SECTION 11.3 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

Not less than 60 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture in
respect of a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking
fund payment for that Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that
Series pursuant to Section 11.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 45 days
(unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be
redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.2 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.3. Such notice
having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.
