    	6

     

    

 

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, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate referred to above,
and the authorized principal amount of any Series may not be increased to provide for issuance of additional Securities of such Series,
unless otherwise provided in such Board Resolution, supplemental Indenture or Officers’ Certificate.

 

SECTION
2.03. Execution and Authentication.

 

Two
Officers 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, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. 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 a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate.

 

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, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 2.02, except as provided in Section 2.08.

 

Prior
to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.02) shall be fully protected in
relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate 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 10.04, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.04.

 

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 a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith 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.

 

If
any successor that has replaced the Company in accordance with Article 5 has executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 5.01, any of the Securities authenticated or delivered prior to such transaction may, from time to time, at the request
of such successor, be exchanged for other Securities executed in the name of the such successor with such changes in phraseology and
form as may be appropriate, but otherwise identical to the Securities surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and
the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order of such successor, shall authenticate and deliver Securities as specified in such order
for the purpose of such exchange. If Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of such successor pursuant
to this provision of Section 2.03 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such successor,
at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Securities then outstanding for Securities
authenticated and delivered in such new name.

SECTION
2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent.

 

The
Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant
to Section 2.02, an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”)
and where Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”). 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 and Paying Agent. If at any time
the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar or Paying Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and
address thereof, such presentations and surrenders 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 and surrenders.

 

The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars or additional paying 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 or Paying Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.02 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 or additional paying agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; and the term “Paying
Agent” includes any additional paying agent.

 

The
Company hereby appoints [__________] as the initial Registrar and Paying Agent for each Series unless another Registrar or Paying Agent
as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued. Each Registrar and Paying Agent shall
be entitled to all of the rights, protections, exculpations and indemnities afforded to the Trustee in connection with its roles as Registrar
and Paying Agent.

 

SECTION
2.05. 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 Securityholders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal
of 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
2.06. 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 Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar,
the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least [__] 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
2.07. 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, 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. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge required by law; provided that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to
Section 2.08, 2.11, 3.06 or 9.06.

 

    	8

     

    

 

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 [__] days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that
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.

 

All
Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. Any Registrar appointed
pursuant to Section 2.04 shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the delivery
by such Registrar of Securities upon transfer or exchange of Securities. Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company and
the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Security in violation
of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable U.S. federal or state securities law.

 

SECTION
2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

 

If
any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar, 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 Registrar (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 Registrar 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
2.09. Outstanding Securities.

 

The
Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled 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.

 

If
a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, 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 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.

 

    	9

     

    

 

A
Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate holds the Security.

 

SECTION
2.10. Treasury Securities.

 

In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver 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 request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver only Securities of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually 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”). 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 written 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
or its agent any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel,
in accordance with its standard procedures, all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, conversion or cancellation and
shall deliver the cancelled Securities to the Company. No Security shall be authenticated in exchange for any Security cancelled pursuant
to this Section 2.12.

 

The
Company may, to the extent permitted by law, purchase Securities in the open market or by tender offer at any price or by private agreement.
Any Securities purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the final maturity of such Securities
may, to the extent permitted by law, be reissued or resold or may, at the option of the Company, be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Any Securities surrendered for cancellation may not be reissued or resold and shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee, and the Company
may not hold or resell such Securities or issue any new Securities to replace any such Securities.

 

SECTION
2.13. Global Securities.

 

	 	(a)	A
    Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate 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.
    

 

	 	(b)	 

 

	 	 	(i)	Notwithstanding
    any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.07 of the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable
    pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depository for such Security
    or its nominee only if (A) 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, (B) the Company executes and delivers to
    the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable or (C) an Event of Default
    with respect to the Securities represented by such Global Security shall have happened and be continuing.
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(ii)	Except
    as provided in this Section 2.13(b), 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.

 

    	10

     

    

 

	 	 	(iii)	Securities
    issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest
    coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall
    be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depository shall designate and shall bear the applicable
    legends provided for herein. Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee,
    as Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for
    exchange or, if the Registrar is acting as custodian for the Depository or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the
    principal amount thereof shall be reduced by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate
    adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
    the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depository or an authorized representative thereof. 
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(iv)	The
    registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including participants in the Depository and persons that
    may hold interests through participants in the Depository, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture
    or the Securities. 
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(v)	In
    the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in 2.13(b)(i), the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee
    a reasonable supply of Certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons. If (A) an event described
    in Section 2.13(b)(i)(A) or (B) occurs and definitive Certificated Securities are not issued promptly to all beneficial owners or
    (B) the Registrar receives from a beneficial owner instructions to obtain definitive Certificated Securities due to an event described
    in Section 2.13(b)(i)(C) and definitive Certificated Securities are not issued promptly to any such beneficial owner, the Company
    expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, the right of
    any beneficial owner of Securities to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Security that represents such
    beneficial owner’s Securities as if such definitive certificated Securities had been issued. 
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(vi)	Notwithstanding
    any provision to the contrary in this Indenture, so long as a Global Security remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of
    the Depository, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, or of any beneficial interest therein, shall only be made in
    accordance with Section 2.07, this Section 2.13(b) and the rules and procedures of the Depository for such Global Security to the
    extent applicable to such transaction and as in effect from time to time.

 

	 	(c)	Any
    Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

 

“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.”

 

	 	(d)	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. 

 

    	11

     

    

 

	 	(e)	Notwithstanding
    the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.02, payment of the principal of and
    interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof at their registered office. 
	 	 	 
	 	(f)	At
    all times the Securities are held in book-entry form with a Depository, (i) the Trustee may deal with such Depository as the authorized
    representative of the Holders, (ii) the rights of the Holders shall be exercised only through the Depository and shall be limited
    to those established by law and agreement between the Holders and the Depository and/or direct participants of the Depository, (iii)
    the Depository will make book-entry transfers among the direct participants of the Depository and will receive and transmit distributions
    of principal and interest on the Securities to such direct participants; and (iv) the direct participants of the Depository shall
    have no rights under this Indenture, or any supplement hereto, under or with respect to any of the Securities held on their behalf
    by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee and its agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute
    owner of the Securities for all purposes whatsoever. 

 

SECTION
2.14. CUSIP Numbers.

 

The
Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP”, “CCN”, “ISIN” or other identification numbers
(if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP”, “CCN”, “ISIN” or such other
identification 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

SECTION
3.01. Notice to Trustee.

 

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 prior to the Stated Maturity thereof 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 and Registrar in
writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice at
least [__] days before the redemption date (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee and Registrar).

 

SECTION
3.02. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

 

Unless
otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, if less
than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Registrar shall select the Securities of the Series to be redeemed in accordance
with its customary procedures. The Registrar shall make the selection from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously called
for redemption. The Registrar 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 2.02(g), 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.

 

    	12

     

    

 

SECTION
3.03. Notice of Redemption.

 

Unless
otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, at
least [__] days but not more than [__] 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.

 

The
notice shall identify the Securities of the Series to be redeemed and shall state:

 

	 	(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 written request, the Trustee shall distribute the notice of redemption prepared by the Company in the Company’s
name and at its expense.

 

SECTION
3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

 

Once
notice of redemption is mailed or published as provided in Section 3.03, 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

COVENANTS

 

SECTION
4.01. Payment of Principal and Interest.

 

The
Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal
of and interest, if any, on the Securities of that Series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture.

 

Unless
otherwise provided under the terms of a particular Series of Securities:

 

    	13

     

    

 

	 	(a)	an
    installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Paying Agent (other than the Company)
    holds by [__] [a].m., New York City time, on that date money, deposited by the Company or an Affiliate thereof, sufficient to pay
    such installment. The Company shall (in immediately available funds), to the fullest extent permitted by law, pay interest on overdue
    principal and overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Securities per annum; and
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	payment
    of the principal of and interest on the Securities shall be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose
    in [____] (which shall initially be [_____], the Paying Agent) in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the
    time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment
    of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address appears in the register; provided,
    further, that a Holder with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $[__] will be paid by wire transfer in immediately available
    funds at the election of such Holder if such Holder has provided wire transfer instructions to the Company at least [__] Business
    Days prior to the payment date. 

 

SECTION
4.02. SEC Reports.

 

So
long as any Securities are outstanding, the Company shall (i) file with the SEC within the time periods prescribed by its rules and regulations
and (ii) furnish to the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities within [__] days after the date on which the Company would be required
to file the same with the SEC pursuant to its rules and regulations (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under
the Exchange Act), all annual reports and information, documents and other reports required to be furnished or filed with the SEC pursuant
to Section 13 and Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and, with respect to the annual consolidated financial statements in annual reports
only, a report thereon by the Company’s independent auditors. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA Section
314(a).

 

Delivery
of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such
shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including
the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’
Certificates). The Company shall not be required to file any report or other information with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such
filing, although such reports shall be furnished to the Trustee. Documents filed by the Company with the SEC via the SEC’s EDGAR
system (or any successor thereto) will be deemed furnished to the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities as of the time such documents
are filed via EDGAR (or such successor).

 

SECTION
4.03. Compliance Certificate.

 

The
Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within [__] days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers’ Certificate
signed by two of the Company’s officers stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the
preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has
kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such
certificate, that to the best of his knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained
in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if
a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he may have knowledge in
reasonable detail and the efforts to remedy the same). For purposes of this Section 4.03, compliance shall be determined without regard
to any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

 

The
Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within [__] days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’
Certificate of any Event of Default described in Section 6.01(e), (f), (g) or (h) and any event of which it becomes aware that with the
giving of notice or the lapse of time would become such an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes
to take with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, a breach of a covenant under an Instrument that is not a payment default and
that has not given rise to a right of acceleration under such Instrument shall not trigger the requirement to provide notice under this
paragraph.

 

    	14

     

    

 

SECTION
4.04. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

 

The
Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force,
which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities; and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully
do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, 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 has been enacted.

 

SECTION
4.05. Corporate Existence.

 

Subject
to Article V, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each Subsidiary in accordance with the respective organizational documents
of each Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence
of any Subsidiary, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the
Holders.

 

SECTION
4.06. Taxes.

 

The
Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay prior to delinquency all taxes, assessments and governmental levies,
except as contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings.

 

SECTION
4.07. Additional Interest Notice.

 

In
the event that the Company is required to pay additional interest to Holders of Securities pursuant to Section 6.02(b) hereof, the Company
shall provide a direction or order in the form of a written notice to the Trustee (and if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent, the Paying
Agent) of the Company’s obligation to pay such additional interest no later than [__] Business Days prior to date on which any
such additional interest is scheduled to be paid. Such notice shall set forth the amount of additional interest to be paid by the Company
on such payment date and direct the Trustee (or, if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent) to make payment to the extent
it receives funds from the Company to do so. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine
whether additional interest is payable, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of additional interest owed,
or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of additional interest.

 

SECTION
4.08. Further Instruments and Acts.

 

The
Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry
out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.

DEFAULTS
AND REMEDIES

 

SECTION
6.01. Events of Default.

 

“Event
of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to securities of any Series, means any one of the following events, unless in the
establishing Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate, it is provided that such Series shall not have
the benefit of said Event of Default:

 

	 	(a)	default
    in the payment of any interest on any Security of that Series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for
    a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of such payment is deposited by the Company with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent
    prior to the expiration of such period of 30 days); 
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	default
    in the payment of any principal of any Security of that Series at its Maturity;
	 	 	 
	 	(c)	default
    in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due in respect of any Security of that Series; 
	 	 	 
	 	(d)	the
    Company fails to perform or comply with any of its other covenants or agreements contained in the Securities or in this Indenture
    (other than a covenant or agreement a default in whose performance or whose breach is specifically dealt with in clauses (a), (b)
    or (c) of this Section 6.01) and the default continues for 60 days after notice is given as specified below;
	 	 	 
	 	(e)	any
    indebtedness under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Subsidiary
    or under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
    indebtedness for money borrowed by, or any other payment obligation of, the Company or any Subsidiary (an “Instrument”)
    with a principal amount then, individually or in the aggregate, outstanding in excess of $[__], whether such indebtedness now exists
    or shall hereafter be created, is not paid at Maturity or when otherwise due or is accelerated, and such indebtedness is not discharged,
    or such default in payment or acceleration is not cured or rescinded, within a period of 30 days after there shall have 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 [__]%
    in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series a written notice specifying such default and requiring
    the Company to cause such indebtedness to be discharged or cause such default to be cured or waived or such acceleration to be rescinded
    or annulled and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder. A payment obligation (other than indebtedness
    under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Subsidiary or under any
    mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness
    for money borrowed by the Company or any Subsidiary) shall not be deemed to have matured, come due, or been accelerated to the extent
    that it is being disputed by the relevant obligor or obligors in good faith. For the avoidance of doubt, the Maturity of an Instrument
    is the Maturity as set forth in that Instrument, as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of that Instrument;
    

 

    	16

     

    

 

	 	(f)	the
    Company or any Subsidiary fails to pay one or more final and non-appealable judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction,
    the aggregate uninsured or unbonded portion of which is in excess of $[__], if the judgments are not paid, discharged, waived or
    stayed within [__] days; 
	 	 	 
	 	(g)	the
    Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

 

	 	 	(i)	commences
    a voluntary case or proceeding; 
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(ii)	consents
    to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding; 
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(iii)	consents
    to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property;
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(iv)	makes
    a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(v)	generally
    is unable to pay its debts as the same become due; 

 

	 	(h)	a
    court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

 

	 	 	(i)	is
    for relief against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding;
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(ii)	appoints
    a Custodian of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any such Subsidiary;
    or 
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(iii)	orders
    the liquidation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; 

 

and
in the case of each of clause (i), (ii) and (iii), the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for [__] consecutive days; or

 

	 	(i)	any
    other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that Series, which is specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental
    indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.02(i). 

 

A
default under clause (d) above is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least [__]% in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee, in writing of the default, and the
Company does not cure the default within 60 days after receipt of such notice. The notice given pursuant to this Section 6.01 must specify
the default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” When any default under this Section
6.01 is cured, it ceases. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless written notice thereof shall
have been given to a Trust Officer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee by the Company, a Paying Agent, any Holder or any agent
of any Holder.

 

    	17

     

    

 

SECTION
6.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

 

	 	(a)	If
    an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01) occurs and is continuing with
    respect to any Securities of any Series, then in every such case, the Trustee may, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at
    least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that Series then outstanding may, by notice to the Company and the Trustee,
    declare all unpaid principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on to the date of acceleration, the Securities of that Series then
    outstanding (if not then due and payable) to be due and payable upon any such declaration, and the same shall become and be immediately
    due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 occurs, all unpaid principal of the Securities
    then outstanding, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of acceleration, 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. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
    principal amount of the Securities of that Series then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration of such Securities
    of that Series and its consequences if (a) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Securities
    which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; (b) to the extent the payment of such
    interest is lawful, interest (calculated at the Default Rate) on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has
    become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; (c) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment
    or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (d) all payments due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section
    7.07 have been made. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	Notwithstanding
    any of provision of this Article 6, at the election of the Company in its sole discretion, the sole remedy under this Indenture for
    an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 4.02, and for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section
    314(a)(1) of the TIA, will consist, for the 180 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, exclusively of the right to
    receive additional interest on the Securities at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities
    then outstanding up to, but not including, the 181st day thereafter (or, if applicable, the earlier date on which the Event of Default
    relating to Section 4.02 is cured or waived). Any such additional interest will be payable in the same manner and on the same dates
    as the stated interest payable on the Securities. In no event shall additional interest accrue under the terms of this Indenture
    at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum, in the aggregate, for any violation or default caused by the failure of the Company to be
    current in respect of its Exchange Act reporting obligations. If the Event of Default is continuing on the 181st day after an Event
    of Default relating to a failure to comply with Section 4.02, the Securities will be subject to acceleration as provided in this
    Section 6.02. The provisions of this Section 6.02(b) will not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any
    other Events of Default.
	 	 	 
	 	 	In
    order to elect to pay additional interest as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default
    relating to the failure to comply with Section 4.02 in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company shall notify
    all Holders and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election on or before the close of business on the fifth Business Day after
    the date on which such Event of Default otherwise would occur. Upon a failure by the Company to timely give such notice or pay additional
    interest, the Securities will be immediately subject to acceleration as otherwise provided in this Section 6.02.

 

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

 

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.

 

    	18

     

    

 

If
an Event of Default in the payment of principal, interest, if any, specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or another obligor on the Securities
for the whole amount of principal, and accrued interest remaining unpaid, if any, together with, to the extent that payment of such interest
is lawful, interest on overdue principal, on overdue installments of interest, if any, in each case at the Default Rate, and 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.

 

SECTION
6.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

 

In
case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or
other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such
other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable
as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company
for the payment of 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 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 7.07. 

 

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

 

SECTION
6.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

 

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

 

SECTION
6.06. 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: and

 

    	19

     

    

 

First:
To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07;

 

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.

 

SECTION
6.07. Limitation on Suits.

 

No
Holder of any Security of any Series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture,
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder (except actions for payment of overdue principal and
interest), 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 [__]% 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 indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
    in compliance with such request; 
	 	 	 
	 	(d)	the
    Trustee for [__] 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 [__]-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
6.08. 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, if any, 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
6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

 

If
the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case,
subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the 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.

 

    	20

     

    

 

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 2.08,
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,

	 	(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 6.01, 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 or would be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder or the Trustee. 

 

SECTION

any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). 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
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

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 [__]% 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 the redemption date).

SECTION
7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.

 

The

    	23

     

    

 

SECTION
7.05. Notice of Defaults.

 

If
a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series and if a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has knowledge or receives written notice of such event, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the Securities of that
Series, notice of a Default or Event of Default within [__] days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee

of or interest on any Security of any Series, including any additional interest that may become payable pursuant to Section 6.02(b),
the Trustee may withhold the notice so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of
Securityholders of that Series.

 

SECTION
7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders.

 

Within
[__] days after [__] in each year, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear on
the register kept by the Registrar, a brief report dated as of such [__], in accordance with, and to the extent required under, TIA Section
313. 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
7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

 

The
Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as shall be agreed upon in writing. 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, disbursements and advances incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable
compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents, counsel and other persons not regularly in its employ.

 

The
Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, from
and against and reimburse the Trustee for any and all claims, expenses, obligations, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries (to person,
property, or natural resources), penalties, stamp or other similar taxes, actions, suits, judgments, reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney’s and agent’s fees and expenses) of whatever kind or nature regardless of their merit, demanded, asserted
or claimed against the Trustee directly or indirectly relating to, or arising from, claims against the Trustee by reason of its participation
in the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation all reasonable costs required to be associated with claims for
damages to persons or property, and reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and court costs except to the
extent caused by the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. The Company shall defend any 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 or delayed. 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 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 6.01(f) or (g) occurs, the expenses and
the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

 

SECTION
7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

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.

amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company.

	 	(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

	 	(c)	a

	 	 	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 [__] days after the retiring
Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least [__]% in principal amount of the Securities
of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for 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 7.07, and subject to the payment of any and all amounts then due and owing to the retiring Trustee, 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. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08,
the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring trustee with respect to expenses
and liabilities incurred by it prior to such replacement.

 

SECTION
7.09. 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 with the same effect as if the successor
Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein.

 

SECTION
7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

 

This
Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall always

Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b).

 

SECTION
7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

 

The
Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned
or been removed shall be subject to TTA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

	 	(e)	the
    Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the deposit was not made by the Company with the

SECTION
9.02. 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 all Series affected by such supplemental indenture, taken together as one class (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), 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 all Series affected by such waiver by notice to the Trustee, taken together as one
class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) 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 9.02 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 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
9.03. 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, except to increase any such amount or
    to provide that certain provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified, amended or waived without the consent of the Holder of each
    outstanding Security affected thereby; 
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	reduce
    the amount of interest, or change the interest payment time, on any Security; 
	 	 	 
	 	(c)	waive
    a redemption payment or alter the redemption provisions (other than any alteration that would not materially adversely affect the
    legal rights of any Holder under this Indenture) or the price at which the Company is required to offer to purchase the Securities;
    
	 	 	 
	 	(d)	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; 
	 	 	 
	 	(e)	reduce
    the principal amount payable of any Security upon Maturity; 
	 	 	 
	 	(f)	waive
    a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration
    of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series
    and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
	 	 	 
	 	(g)	change
    the place or currency of payment of principal of or interest, if any, on any Security other than that stated in the Security; 
	 	 	 
	 	(h)	impair
    the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal or, or interest on, the Securities of such Holder on or after the due dates
    therefor; 
	 	 	 
	 	(i)	impair
    the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on, or with respect to, any Security;

 

    	30

     

    

 

	 	(j)	make
    any change in Sections 10.15 or 10.16; 
	 	 	 
	 	(k)	change
    the ranking of the Securities; or
	 	 	 
	 	(l)	make
    any other change which is specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate as a
    limitation under this Section. 

 

SECTION
9.04. 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
9.05. 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. 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 9.03 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
9.06. Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

 

If
an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it
to the Trustee and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder.
Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new
Securities of that Series that reflect the changed terms.

 

SECTION
9.07. 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 7.01) shall be fully protected
in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel or an Officer’s Certificate, or both 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, duties or indemnities.

 

SECTION
9.08. Effect of Supplemental Indenture.

 

Upon
the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and each such
supplemental indenture shall form part of this Indenture for all purposes with respect to the relevant Series; and every Holder of Securities
of the relevant Series theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

THIS
INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCLUDING ANY RULE OF LAW THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION
OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

The
Company agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Indenture may be instituted in any federal
or state court sitting in New York City, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waives any objection which it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court in any suit,
action or proceeding. The Company, as long as any Securities remain outstanding or the parties hereto have any obligation under this
Indenture, shall have an authorized agent in the United States upon whom process may be served in any such legal action or proceeding.
Service of process upon such agent and written notice of such service mailed or delivered to it shall to the extent permitted by law
be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such legal action or proceeding and, if it fails to maintain such
agent, any such process or summons may be served by mailing a copy thereof by registered mail, or a form of mail substantially equivalent
thereto, addressed to it at its address as provided for notices hereunder. The Company hereby appoints [Seward & Kissel LLP, One

case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

SECTION
10.15. Table of Contents, Headings, Etc. 

 

The
Table of Contents, Cross Reference Table, and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience

SECTION
10.16. Securities in a Foreign Currency or in ECU.

 

Unless
otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section
2.02 of this Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken
by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series or all Series affected by a particular
action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in a coin or currency
other than Dollars (including ECUs), then the principal amount of Securities of such Series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for
the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate
at such time. For purposes of this Section 10.16, “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in New York
City for cable transfers of that currency as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; provided, however, in the case of ECUs,
Market Exchange Rate shall mean the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Union (or any successor thereto) as
published in the Official Journal of the European Union (such publication or any successor publication, the “Journal”). If
such Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason with respect to such currency, the Trustee shall use, without liability on
its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or, in the case of ECUs, the rate of exchange as published in the Journal,
as of the most recent available date, or quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange from one or more major banks in The City
of New York or in the country of issue of the currency in question or, in the case of ECUs, in Luxembourg or such other quotations or,
in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange as the Trustee, upon consultation with the Company, shall deem appropriate. The provisions of
this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency
other than Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

 

All
decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any alternative determination provided for in the preceding
paragraph shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for
all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company and all Holders.

 

SECTION
10.17. Judgment Currency.

 

The
Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment
in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest or other amount on the Securities of any
Series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”),
the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City
of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such
day is not a New York Banking Day, then, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures
the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding
the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required
Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance
with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result
in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments,
(ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the
amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable,
and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing,
“New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York on which banking
institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

 

SECTION
10.18. Compliance with Applicable Anti-Terrorism and Money Laundering Regulations.

 

In
order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions,
including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (“Applicable Law”), the Trustee is required
to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the
Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agree to provide to the Trustee, upon its request from time to time such identifying information
and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Trustee to comply with the Applicable Law.

(iv) not remove any Confidential Information from our premises except as necessary to carry out your duties as directed and authorized by the Company.

(b) Any trade secrets of the Company will be entitled to all of the protections and benefits under any applicable state and federal trade secret law and any other applicable law. If any information that we deem to be a trade secret is found by a court not to be a trade secret for purposes of this Agreement, the information will nevertheless be considered Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement. You hereby waive any requirement that we submit proof of the economic value of any trade secret or post a bond or other security.

4.Return of Company Property. Immediately upon termination of your employment with us, or immediately upon request from us, whichever first occurs, you will return all of our property to us, including but not limited to Confidential Information. You will not retain any Company property or Confidential Information, including, but not limited to, copies or reproductions of Confidential Information or notes relating to Confidential Information.

 

 

5.Developments.

(a) Every Development is the exclusive property of the Company. You acknowledge that all writing, works of authorship and other Developments are the property of the Company, including any copyrights, patents or other intellectual property rights pertaining to Developments. If it is determined that any works are not property of the Company, you will confirm, and execute documents as necessary for, the assignment of all of your right, title and interest, including all rights of copyright, patent and other intellectual property rights, to or in such Developments.

(b) You will disclose to us in writing any Development.

(c) You hereby assign to us any rights, title and interest you have, may have or may acquire in any and all Developments and you will assist us in every proper way (costs of said acquisition at our expense) to obtain and enforce patents, copyrights or other legal protections with respect to Developments in any and all countries. To that end, you will provide appropriate assistance and execute all documents for use in the Company’s applying for and obtaining patents or rights regarding any Developments and enforcing the same, as we may desire, together with any assignments of Developments to us or parties designated by us. If we are unable for any reason to secure your signature to a document serving one of the purposes described in this paragraph (c), you hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its authorized officers and agents as your agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on your behalf to execute and file such documents.

(d) Upon termination of your employment or promptly upon the request of the Company, you will surrender to the Company all memoranda, notes, records, sketches, drawings and other documents and data of any kind, in whatever form or medium, pertaining to or containing any Developments that are in your possession or under your control.

(e) You agree not to assert any claim against our right to any Developments.

6.Use of Confidential Information of Other Parties. You represent and warrant that you have not retained and will not use any materials or documents belonging to you or a former employer or any other party that are not generally available to the public, unless express written authorization for their possession and use has been obtained from that person and us. You will not breach any obligation of confidentiality that you owe to any former employer or other party, and you will fulfill all such obligations during the period of your employment with us.

7.Purpose of Agreement; Other Employment. The covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement are intended to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and its clients and not to prevent or interfere with your ability to earn a living. 

8.Remedies. You acknowledge that any violation of any of the covenants contained in Sections 3, 4, and 5 of this Agreement may give rise to substantial and irreparable injury to us, inadequately compensable in monetary damages. Accordingly, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies that may be available, we will be entitled to seek and obtain, without posting a bond, injunctive relief for a breach of, or specific performance of, any of your covenants and promises contained in those Sections.

9.Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction declares any provision of this Agreement invalid, void, voidable, or unenforceable, the court shall reform such provision(s) to render the provision(s) enforceable, but only to the extent absolutely necessary to render the provision(s) enforceable and only in view of your and our express desire that the Company be protected to the greatest possible extent under applicable law from the misuse or disclosure of trade secrets and Confidential Information. To the extent such a provision (or portion thereof) may not be reformed so as to make it enforceable, it may be severed and the remaining provisions shall remain fully enforceable.

10.Waivers. The waiver by you or us of any breach of this Agreement will not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any later breach. Failure to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will not be construed to be a waiver of the right later to enforce those provisions.

 

 

11.Whistleblower Immunity under Defend Trade Secrets Act. You understand that, in accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, an individual cannot be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (1) is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official (either directly or indirectly), or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (2) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. You also understand that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to a court order. Finally, you understand that, for purposes of this provision, the term “employee” includes any individual performing work as a contractor or consultant for an employer. 

12.Governing Law; Venue; Jury Trial Waiver. This Agreement is governed by, and is to be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles of that State. By executing this Agreement, each party submits to in personam jurisdiction to courts (state or federal) located in the State of Colorado, and hereby waives the right to a jury in any dispute arising under or related to this Agreement.

13.Complete Agreement; Binding Effect; Survival. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us with respect to its subject matter and may not be amended, supplemented, canceled or discharged except by a written instrument signed by both you and an authorized Company representative. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior agreements between the parties with respect to the matters covered in this Agreement. This Agreement is binding upon, and will inure to the benefit of, the parties’ respective representatives, heirs, successors and assigns.
