Section 4. Credits to Deferred Compensation Account: 

4.1 Participant Deferral Credits. To the extent provided in the Adoption Agreement, each Active Participant may elect, by entering

Participant Deferral Credit, shall be credited by the Employer to the Deferred Compensation Account maintained for the Participant pursuant to Section 8. The following special provisions shall apply with respect to the Participant Deferral
Credits of a Participant:

 8 

 4.1.2 An election pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be made by the Participant by
executing and delivering a Participation Agreement to the Committee. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.1, the Participation Agreement shall become effective with respect to such Participant as of the first day of January following
the date such Participation Agreement is received by the Committee. A Participant’s election may be changed at any time prior to the last permissible date for making the election as permitted in this Section 4.1, and shall thereafter be
irrevocable. The election of a Participant shall continue in effect for subsequent years until modified by the Participant as permitted in this Section 4.1. 
 4.1.3 A Participant may execute and deliver a Participation Agreement to the Committee within 30 days after the date the Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan to be effective as of
the first payroll period next following the date the Participation Agreement is fully executed by the Participant. Whether a Participant is treated as newly eligible for participation under this Section shall be determined in accordance with
Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder, including (i) rules that treat all elective deferral account balance plans as one plan, and (ii) rules that treat a previously eligible Employee as newly eligible if his
benefits had been previously distributed or if he has been ineligible for 24 months. For Compensation that is earned based upon a specified performance period (for example, an annual bonus), where a deferral election is made under this Section but
after the beginning of the performance period, the election will only apply to the portion of the Compensation equal to the total amount of the Compensation for the service period multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the
performance period after the election over the total number of days in the performance period. 
 4.1.4 A Participant may
unilaterally modify a Participation Agreement (either to terminate, increase or decrease the portion of his future Compensation which is subject to deferral within the percentage limits set forth in Section 4.1 of the Adoption Agreement) by
providing a written modification of the Participation Agreement to the Committee. The modification shall become effective as of the first day of January following the date such written modification is received by the Committee. 

4.1.5 If the Participant performed services continuously from the later of the beginning of the performance period or the date upon which
the performance criteria are established through the date upon which the Participant makes an initial deferral election, a Participation Agreement relating to the deferral of Performance-Based Compensation may be executed and delivered to the
Committee no later than the date which is 6 months prior to the end of the performance period, provided that in no event may an election to defer Performance-Based Compensation be made after such Compensation has become readily ascertainable.

  
 9 

 4.1.6 If the Employer has a fiscal year other than the calendar year, Compensation relating
to Service in the fiscal year of the Employer (such as a bonus based on the fiscal year of the Employer), of which no amount is paid or payable during the fiscal year, may be deferred at the Participant’s election if the election to defer is
made not later than the close of the Employer’s fiscal year next preceding the first fiscal year in which the Participant performs any services for which such Compensation is payable. 

4.1.7 Compensation payable after the last day of the Participant’s taxable year solely for services provided during the final
payroll period containing the last day of the Participant’s taxable year (i.e., December 31) is treated for purposes of this Section 4.1 as Compensation for services performed in the subsequent taxable year. 

4.1.8 The Committee may from time to time establish policies or rules consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code
to govern the manner in which Participant Deferral Credits may be made. 
 4.1.9 If a Participant becomes Disabled all currently
effective deferral elections for such Participant shall be cancelled. At the time the participant is no longer Disabled, subsequent elections to defer future compensation will be permitted under this Section 4. 

4.1.10 If a Participant applies for and receives a distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency, all currently effective
deferral elections for such Participant shall be cancelled. Subsequent elections to defer future compensation will be permitted under this Section 4. 
 4.1.11 If a Participant receives a hardship distribution under Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3) of the Code or any other similar provision, all currently effective deferral elections shall be cancelled.
Subsequent elections to defer future compensation under this Section 4 will not be effective until the later of the beginning of the next calendar year or six months after the date of the hardship distribution. 

4.2 Employer Credits. If designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement, the Employer shall cause the Committee to credit to
the Deferred Compensation Account of each Active Participant an Employer Credit as determined in accordance with the Adoption Agreement. A Participant must make distribution elections with respect to any Employer Credits credited to his Deferred
Compensation Account by the deadline that would apply under Section 4.1 for distribution elections with respect to Participant Deferral Credits credited at the same time, on a Participation Agreement that is timely executed and delivered to the
Committee pursuant to Section 4.1. 

  
 10 

 4.3 Deferred Compensation Account. All Participant Deferral Credits and Employer
Credits shall be credited to the Deferred Compensation Account of the Participant as provided in Section 8. 

Section 5. Qualifying Distribution Events: 

5.1 Separation from Service. If the Participant Separates from Service with the Employer, the vested balance in the Deferred
Compensation Account shall be paid to the Participant by the Employer as provided in Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no distribution shall be made earlier than six months after the date of Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the
date of death) with respect to a Participant who as of the date of Separation from Service is a Specified Employee of a corporation the stock in which is traded on an established securities market or otherwise. Any payments to which such Specified
Employee would be entitled during the first six months following the date of Separation from Service shall be accumulated and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the date of Separation from Service, and shall be adjusted for deemed
investment gain and loss incurred during the six month period. 
 5.2 Disability. If the Employer designates in the
Adoption Agreement that distributions are permitted under the Plan when a Participant becomes Disabled, and the Participant becomes Disabled while in Service, the vested balance in the Deferred Compensation Account shall be paid to the Participant
by the Employer as provided in Section 7. 

  
 11 

 5.3 Death. If the Participant dies while in Service, the Employer shall pay a benefit
to the Participant’s Beneficiary in the amount designated in the Adoption Agreement. Payment of such benefit shall be made by the Employer as provided in Section 7. 
 5.4 In-Service or Education Distributions. If the Employer designates in the Adoption Agreement that in-service or education distributions are permitted under the Plan, a Participant may designate
in the Participation Agreement to have a specified amount credited to the Participant’s In-Service or Education Account for in-service or education distributions at the date specified by the Participant. In no event may an in-service or
education distribution of an amount be made before the date that is two years after the first day of the year in which any deferral election to such In-Service or Education Account became effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant
incurs a Qualifying Distribution Event prior to the date on which the entire balance in the In-Service or Education Account has been distributed, then the balance in the In-Service or Education Account on the date of the Qualifying Distribution
Event shall be paid as provided under Section 7.1 for payments on such Qualifying Distribution Event. 
 5.5 Change in
Control Event. If the Employer designates in the Adoption Agreement that distributions are permitted under the Plan upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event, the Participant may designate in the Participation Agreement to have the vested
balance in the Deferred Compensation Account paid to the Participant upon a Change in Control Event by the Employer as provided in Section 7. 
 5.6 Unforeseeable Emergency. If the Employer designates in the Adoption Agreement that distributions are permitted under the Plan upon the occurrence of an

  
 12 

 
Unforeseeable Emergency event, a distribution from the Deferred Compensation Account may be made to a Participant in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency, subject to the following provisions:

 5.6.1 A Participant may, at any time prior to his Separation from Service for any reason, make application to the Committee
to receive a distribution in a lump sum of all or a portion of the vested balance in the Deferred Compensation Account (determined as of the date the distribution, if any, is made under this Section 5.6) because of an Unforeseeable Emergency. A
distribution because of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall not exceed the amount required to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of such distribution, after taking into account the
extent to which the Unforeseeable Emergency may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause
severe financial hardship) or by stopping current deferrals under the Plan pursuant to Section 4.1.10. 
 5.6.2 The
Participant’s request for a distribution on account of Unforeseeable Emergency must be made in writing to the Committee. The request must specify the nature of the financial hardship, the total amount requested to be distributed from the
Deferred Compensation Account, and the total amount of the actual expense incurred or to be incurred on account of the Unforeseeable Emergency. 
 5.6.3 If a distribution under this Section 5.6 is approved by the Committee, such distribution will be made as soon as practicable following the date it is approved. The processing of the request
shall be completed as soon as practicable from the date on which the Committee receives the properly completed written request for a distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency. If a Participant’s Separation from Service occurs after
a request is approved in accordance with this Section 5.6.3, but prior to distribution of the full amount approved, the approval of the request shall be automatically null and void and the benefits which the Participant is entitled to receive
under the Plan shall be distributed in accordance with the applicable distribution provisions of the Plan. 
 5.6.4 The
Committee may from time to time adopt additional policies or rules consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to govern the manner in which such distributions may be made so that the Plan may be conveniently administered.

  
 13 

 Section 6. Vesting: 

A Participant shall be fully vested in the portion of his Deferred Compensation Account attributable to Participant Deferral Credits, and
all income, gains and losses attributable thereto. A Participant shall become fully vested in the portion of his Deferred Compensation Account attributable to Employer Credits, and income, gains and losses attributable thereto, in accordance with
the vesting schedule and provisions designated by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement. If a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account is not fully vested upon Separation from Service, the portion of the Deferred Compensation Account that
is not fully vested shall thereupon be forfeited. 
 Section 7. Distribution Rules: 

7.1 Payment Options. The Employer shall designate in the Adoption Agreement the payment options which may be elected by the
Participant (lump sum, annual installments, or a combination of both). Different payment options may be made available for each Qualifying Distribution Event, and different payment options may be available for different types of Separations from
Service, all as designated in the Adoption Agreement. The Participant shall elect in the Participation Agreement the method under which the vested balance in the Deferred Compensation Account will be distributed from among the designated payment
options. The Participant may at such time elect a different method of payment for each Qualifying Distribution Event as specified in the Adoption Agreement. If the Participant is permitted by the Employer in the Adoption Agreement to elect different
payment options and does not make a valid election, the vested balance in the Deferred Compensation Account will be distributed as a lump sum. 

  
 14 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if certain Qualifying Distribution Events occur prior to the
date on which the vested balance of a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account is completely paid pursuant to this Section 7.1 following the occurrence of certain initial Qualifying Distribution Events, the following rules apply:

 7.1.1 If the initial Qualifying Distribution Event is a Separation from Service or Disability, and the Participant
subsequently dies, the remaining unpaid vested balance of a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be paid as a lump sum. 
 7.1.2 If the initial Qualifying Distribution Event is a Change in Control Event, and any subsequent Qualifying Distribution Event occurs (except an In-Service or Education Distribution described in
Section 2.29(iv)), the remaining unpaid vested balance of a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be paid as provided under Section 7.1 for payments on such subsequent Qualifying Distribution Event. 

7.2 Timing of Payments. Payment shall be made in the manner elected by the Participant and shall commence as soon as practicable
after (but no later than 60 days after) the distribution date elected for the Qualifying Distribution Event. In the event the Participant fails to make a valid election of the payment method, the distribution will be made in a single lump sum
payment as soon as practicable after (but no later than 60 days after) the Qualifying Distribution Event. A payment may be further delayed to the extent permitted in accordance with regulations and guidance under Section 409A of the Code.

 7.3 Installment Payments. If the Participant elects to receive installment payments upon a Qualifying Distribution
Event, the payment of each installment shall be made on the anniversary of the date of the first installment payment, and the amount of the installment shall be adjusted on such anniversary for credits or debits to the Participant’s account
pursuant to Section 8 of the Plan. Such adjustment shall be made by dividing the balance in the Deferred Compensation Account on such date by the number of installments remaining to be paid hereunder; provided that the last installment due
under the Plan shall be the entire amount credited to the Participant’s account on the date of payment. 

  
 15 

 7.4 De Minimis Amounts. Notwithstanding any payment election made by the Participant,
if the Employer designates a pre-determined de minimis amount in the Adoption Agreement, the vested balance in the Deferred Compensation Account of the Participant will be distributed in a single lump sum payment if at the time of a permitted
Qualifying Distribution Event the vested balance does not exceed such pre-determined de minimis amount; provided, however, that such distribution will be made only where the Qualifying Distribution Event is a Separation from Service, death,
Disability (if applicable) or Change in Control Event (if applicable). Such payment shall be made on or before the later of (i) December 31 of the calendar year in which the Qualifying Distribution Event occurs, or (ii) the date that
is 2-1/2 months after the Qualifying Distribution Event occurs. In addition, the Employer may distribute a Participant’s vested balance at any time if the balance does not exceed the limit in Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code and results in
the termination of the Participant’s entire interest in the Plan as provided under Section 409A of the Code. 
 7.5
Subsequent Elections. With the consent of the Committee, a Participant may delay or change the method of payment of the Deferred Compensation Account subject to the following requirements: 

7.5.1 The new election may not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the new election is made. 

7.5.2 If the new election relates to a payment for a Qualifying Distribution Event other than the death of the Participant, the
Participant becoming Disabled, or an Unforeseeable Emergency, the new election must provide for the deferral of the payment for a period of at least five years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made. 

7.5.3 If the new election relates to a payment from the In-Service or Education Account, the new election must be made at least 12 months
prior to the date of the first scheduled payment from such account. 

  
 16 

 For purposes of this Section 7.5 and Section 7.6, a payment is each separately identified amount
to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan; provided, that entitlement to a series of installment payments is treated as the entitlement to a single payment. 
 7.6 Acceleration Prohibited. The acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment due under the Plan is prohibited except as expressly provided in regulations and administrative guidance
promulgated under Section 409A of the Code (such as accelerations for domestic relations orders and employment taxes). It is not an acceleration of the time or schedule of payment if the Employer waives or accelerates the vesting requirements
applicable to a benefit under the Plan. 
 Section 8. Accounts; Deemed Investment; Adjustments to
Account: 
 8.1 Accounts. The Committee shall establish a book reserve account, entitled the “Deferred
Compensation Account,” on behalf of each Participant. The Committee shall also establish an In-Service or Education Account as a part of the Deferred Compensation Account of each Participant, if applicable. The amount credited to the Deferred
Compensation Account shall be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.3. 
 8.2 Deemed Investments. The
Deferred Compensation Account of a Participant shall be credited with an investment return determined as if the account were invested in one or more investment funds made available by the Committee. The Participant shall elect the investment funds
in which his Deferred Compensation Account shall be deemed to be invested. Such election shall be made in the manner prescribed by the Committee and shall take effect upon the entry of the Participant into the Plan. The investment election of the
Participant shall remain in effect until a new election is made 

  
 17 

 
by the Participant. In the event the Participant fails for any reason to make an effective election of the investment return to be credited to his account, the investment return shall be
determined by the Committee. 
 8.3 Adjustments to Deferred Compensation Account. With respect to each Participant who
has a Deferred Compensation Account under the Plan, the amount credited to such account shall be adjusted by the following debits and credits, at the times and in the order stated: 

8.3.1 The Deferred Compensation Account shall be debited each business day with the total amount of any payments made from such account
since the last preceding business day to him or for his benefit. Unless otherwise specified by the Employer, each deemed investment fund will be debited pro-rata based on the value of the investment funds as of the end of the preceding business day.

 8.3.2 The Deferred Compensation Account shall be credited on each Crediting Date with the total amount of any Participant
Deferral Credits and Employer Credits to such account since the last preceding Crediting Date. 
 8.3.3 The Deferred
Compensation Account shall be credited or debited on each day securities are traded on a national stock exchange with the amount of deemed investment gain or loss resulting from the performance of the deemed investment funds elected by the
Participant in accordance with Section 8.2. The amount of such deemed investment gain or loss shall be determined by the Committee and such determination shall be final and conclusive upon all concerned. 

Section 9. Administration by Committee: 

9.1 Membership of Committee. If the Committee consists of individuals appointed by the Board, they will serve at the pleasure of
the Board. Any member of the Committee may resign, and his successor, if any, shall be appointed by the Board. 
 9.2 General
Administration. The Committee shall be responsible for the operation and administration of the Plan and for carrying out its provisions. The 

  
 18 

 
Committee shall have the full authority and discretion to make, amend, interpret, and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan and decide or resolve any
and all questions, including interpretations of this Plan, as may arise in connection with this Plan. Any such action taken by the Committee shall be final and conclusive on any party. To the extent the Committee has been granted discretionary
authority under the Plan, the Committee’s prior exercise of such authority shall not obligate it to exercise its authority in a like fashion thereafter. The Committee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon all tables, valuations,
certificates, opinions and reports furnished by any actuary, accountant, controller, counsel or other person employed or engaged by the Employer with respect to the Plan. The Committee may, from time to time, employ agents and delegate to such
agents, including Employees of the Employer, such administrative or other duties as it sees fit. 
 9.3 Indemnification.
To the extent not covered by insurance, the Employer shall indemnify the Committee, each Employee, officer, director, and agent of the Employer, and all persons formerly serving in such capacities, against any and all liabilities or expenses,
including all legal fees relating thereto, arising in connection with the exercise of their duties and responsibilities with respect to the Plan, provided however that the Employer shall not indemnify any person for liabilities or expenses due to
that person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 Section 10. Contractual Liability,
Trust: 
 10.1 Contractual Liability. Unless otherwise elected in the Adoption Agreement, the Company shall be
obligated to make all payments hereunder. This obligation shall constitute a contractual liability of the Company to the Participants, and 

  
 19 

 
such payments shall be made from the general funds of the Company. The Company shall not be required to establish or maintain any special or separate fund, or otherwise to segregate assets to
assure that such payments shall be made, and the Participants shall not have any interest in any particular assets of the Company by reason of its obligations hereunder. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payment from the
Company, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured creditor of the Company. 
 10.2 Trust. The
Employer may establish a trust to assist it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Any such trust shall conform to the requirements of a grantor trust under Revenue Procedures 92-64 and 92-65 and at all times during the continuance of the trust
the principal and income of the trust shall be subject to claims of general creditors of the Employer under federal and state law. The establishment of such a trust would not be intended to cause Participants to realize current income on amounts
contributed thereto, and the trust would be so interpreted and administered. 
 Section 11.
Allocation of Responsibilities: 
 The persons responsible for the Plan and the duties and responsibilities
allocated to each are as follows: 
 11.1 Board. 

 

	 	(i)	To amend the Plan; 

  

	 	(ii)	To appoint and remove members of the Committee; and 

  

	 	(iii)	To terminate the Plan as permitted in Section 14. 

 11.2 Committee. 
  

	 	(i)	To designate Participants; 

  

	 	(ii)	To interpret the provisions of the Plan and to determine the rights of the Participants under the Plan, except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 16
relating to claims procedure; 

  
 20 

	 	(iii)	To administer the Plan in accordance with its terms, except to the extent powers to administer the Plan are specifically delegated to another person or persons as
provided in the Plan; 

  

	 	(iv)	To account for the amount credited to the Deferred Compensation Account of a Participant; 

 

	 	(v)	To direct the Employer in the payment of benefits; 

  

	 	(vi)	To file such reports as may be required with the United States Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service and any other government agency to which reports may be
required to be submitted from time to time; and 

  

	 	(vii)	To administer the claims procedure to the extent provided in Section 16. 

 Section 12. Benefits Not Assignable; Facility of Payments: 
 12.1 Benefits Not Assignable. No portion of any benefit credited or paid under the Plan with respect to any Participant shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt so to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void, nor shall any portion of such benefit be in any manner payable to any assignee,
receiver or any one trustee, or be liable for his debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts. 
 12.2 Plan-Approved
Domestic Relations Orders. The Committee shall establish procedures for determining whether an order directed to the Plan is a Plan-Approved Domestic Relations Order. If the Committee determines that an order is a Plan-Approved Domestic
Relations Order, the Committee shall cause the payment of amounts pursuant to or segregate a separate account as provided by (and to prevent any payment or act which might be inconsistent with) the Plan-Approved Domestic Relations Order. 

  
 21 

 12.3 Payments to Minors and Others. If any individual entitled to receive a payment
under the Plan shall be physically, mentally or legally incapable of receiving or acknowledging receipt of such payment, the Committee, upon the receipt of satisfactory evidence of his incapacity and satisfactory evidence that another person or
institution is maintaining him and that no guardian or committee has been appointed for him, may cause any payment otherwise payable to him to be made to such person or institution so maintaining him. Payment to such person or institution shall be
in full satisfaction of all claims by or through the Participant to the extent of the amount thereof. 

Section 13. Beneficiary: 
 The Participant’s beneficiary shall be the person, persons, entity or entities designated by the Participant on the beneficiary designation form provided by and filed with the Committee or its
designee. If the Participant does not designate a beneficiary, the beneficiary shall be his Surviving Spouse. If the Participant does not designate a beneficiary and has no Surviving Spouse, the beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate.
The designation of a beneficiary may be changed or revoked only by filing a new beneficiary designation form with the Committee or its designee. If a beneficiary (the “primary beneficiary”) is receiving or is entitled to receive payments
under the Plan and dies before receiving all of the payments due him, the balance to which he is entitled shall be paid to the contingent beneficiary, if any, named in the Participant’s current beneficiary designation form. If there is no
contingent beneficiary, the balance shall be paid to the estate of the primary beneficiary. Any beneficiary may disclaim all or any part of any benefit to which such beneficiary shall be entitled hereunder by filing a written disclaimer with the
Committee before payment of such benefit is to be made. Such a 

  
 22 

 
disclaimer shall be made in a form satisfactory to the Committee and shall be irrevocable when filed. Any benefit disclaimed shall be payable from the Plan in the same manner as if the
beneficiary who filed the disclaimer had predeceased the Participant. 
 Section 14. Amendment and Termination
of Plan: 
 The Company may amend any provision of the Plan or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, that in no event
shall such amendment or termination reduce the balance in any Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account as of the date of such amendment or termination, nor shall any such amendment affect the terms of the Plan relating to the payment of such
Deferred Compensation Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following special provisions shall apply: 
 14.1
Termination in the Discretion of the Employer. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 14.2, the Company in its discretion may terminate the Plan and distribute benefits to Participants subject to the following requirements and any others
specified under Section 409A of the Code: 
 14.1.1 All arrangements sponsored by the Employer that would be aggregated
with the Plan under Section 1.409A-l(c) of the Treasury Regulations are terminated. 
 14.1.2 No payments other than
payments that would be payable under the terms of the Plan if the termination had not occurred are made within 12 months of the termination date. 
 14.1.3 All benefits under the Plan are paid within 24 months of the termination date. 
 14.1.4 The Employer does not adopt a new arrangement that would be aggregated with the Plan under Section 1.409A-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations providing for the deferral of compensation at any
time within 3 years following the date of termination of the Plan. 
 14.1.5 The termination does not occur proximate to a
downturn in the financial health of the Employer. 

  
 23 

 14.2 Termination Upon Change in Control Event. If the Company terminates the Plan
within thirty days preceding or twelve months following a Change in Control Event, the Deferred Compensation Account of each Participant shall become fully vested and payable to the Participant in a lump sum within twelve months following the date
of termination, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 
 Section 15. Communication to
Participants: 
 The Employer shall make a copy of the Plan available for inspection by Participants and their
beneficiaries during reasonable hours at the principal office of the Employer. 
 Section 16. Claims
Procedure: 
 The following claims procedure shall apply with respect to the Plan: 

16.1 Filing of a Claim for Benefits. If a Participant or Beneficiary (the “claimant”) believes that he is entitled to
benefits under the Plan which are not being paid to him or which are not being accrued for his benefit, he shall file a written claim therefore with the Committee. 
 16.2 Notification to Claimant of Decision. Within 90 days after receipt of a claim by the Committee (or within 180 days if special circumstances require an extension of time), the Committee shall
notify the claimant of the decision with regard to the claim. In the event of such special circumstances requiring an extension of time, there shall be furnished to the claimant prior to expiration of the initial 90-day period written notice of the
extension, which notice shall set forth the special circumstances and the date by which the decision shall be furnished. If such claim shall be wholly or partially denied, notice thereof shall be in writing and worded in a manner calculated to be
understood by 

  
 24 

 
the claimant, and shall set forth: (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (ii) specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based;
(iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and (iv) an explanation of the procedure for review of the
denial and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the claim
relates to a disability determination, the Committee shall notify the claimant of the decision within 45 days (which may be extended for an additional 30 days if required by special circumstances). 

16.3 Procedure for Review. Within 60 days following receipt by the claimant of notice denying his claim, in whole or in part, or,
if such notice shall not be given, within 60 days following the latest date on which such notice could have been timely given, the claimant may appeal denial of the claim by filing a written application for review with the Committee. Following such
request for review, the Committee shall fully and fairly review the decision denying the claim. Prior to the decision of the Committee, the claimant shall be given an opportunity to review pertinent documents and to submit issues and comments in
writing. 
 16.4 Decision on Review. The decision on review of a claim denied in whole or in part by the Committee shall
be made in the following manner: 
 16.4.1 Within 60 days following receipt by the Committee of the request for review (or
within 120 days if special circumstances require an extension of time), the Committee shall notify the claimant in writing of its decision with regard to the claim. In the event of such special circumstances requiring an extension of time, written
notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the claim relates to a disability determination, the Committee shall notify the claimant of the decision within
45 days (which may be extended for an additional 45 days if required by special circumstances). 

  
 25 

 16.4.2 With respect to a claim that is denied in whole or in part, the decision on review
shall set forth specific reasons for the decision, shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and shall set forth: 
  

	 	(i)	the specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination; 

  

	 	(ii)	specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the adverse determination is based; 

 

	 	(iii)	a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other
information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits; and 

  

	 	(iv)	a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures offered by the Plan and the claimant’s right to obtain the information about such procedures, as well as a
statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under ERISA section 502(a). 

 16.4.3 The decision of
the Committee shall be final and conclusive. 
 16.5 Action by Authorized Representative of Claimant. All actions set
forth in this Section 16 to be taken by the claimant may likewise be taken by a representative of the claimant duly authorized by him to act in his behalf on such matters. The Committee may require such evidence as either may reasonably deem
necessary or advisable of the authority to act of any such representative. 
 Section 17. Miscellaneous
Provisions: 
 17.1 Set off. The Employer may at any time offset a Participant’s Deferral Compensation
Account by an amount up to $5,000 to collect the amount of any loan, cash advance, extension of other credit or other obligation of the Participant to the Employer that is then due and payable in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A
of the Code. 

  
 26 

 17.2 Notices. Each Participant who is not in Service and each Beneficiary shall be
responsible for furnishing the Committee or its designee with his current address for the mailing of notices and benefit payments. Any notice required or permitted to be given to such Participant or Beneficiary shall be deemed given if directed to
such address and mailed by regular United States mail, first class, postage prepaid. If any check mailed to such address is returned as undeliverable to the addressee, mailing of checks will be suspended until the Participant or Beneficiary
furnishes the proper address. This provision shall not be construed as requiring the mailing of any notice or notification otherwise permitted to be given by posting or by other publication. 

17.3 Lost Distributees. A benefit shall be deemed forfeited if the Committee is unable to locate the Participant or Beneficiary to
whom payment is due by the fifth anniversary of the date payment is to be made or commence; provided, that the deemed investment rate of return pursuant to Section 8.2 shall cease to be applied to the Participant’s account following the
first anniversary of such date; provided further, however, that such benefit shall be reinstated if a valid claim is made by or on behalf of the Participant or Beneficiary for all or part of the forfeited benefit. 

17.4 Reliance on Data. The Employer and the Committee shall have the right to rely on any data provided by the Participant or by
any Beneficiary. Representations of such data shall be binding upon any party seeking to claim a benefit through a Participant, and the Employer and the Committee shall have no obligation to inquire into the accuracy of any representation made at
any time by a Participant or Beneficiary. 

  
 27 

 17.5 Headings. The headings and subheadings of the Plan have been inserted for
convenience of reference and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof. 
 17.6 Continuation of
Employment. The establishment of the Plan shall not be construed as conferring any legal or other rights upon any Employee or any persons for continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere with the right of the Employer to discharge any
Employee or to deal with him without regard to the effect thereof under the Plan. 
 17.7 Merger or Consolidation; Assumption
of Plan. No Employer shall consolidate or merge into or with another corporation or entity, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, partnership, trust or other entity (a “Successor Entity”) unless
such Successor Entity shall assume the rights, obligations and liabilities of the Employer under the Plan and upon such assumption, the Successor Entity shall become obligated to perform the terms and conditions of the Plan. Nothing herein shall
prohibit the assumption of the obligations and liabilities of the Employer under the Plan by any Successor Entity. 
 17.8
Construction. The Employer shall designate in the Adoption Agreement the state according to whose laws the provisions of the Plan shall be construed and enforced, except to the extent that such laws are superseded by ERISA and the applicable
requirements of the Code. 
 17.9 Taxes. The Employer or other payor may withhold a benefit payment under the Plan or a
Participant’s wages, or the Employer may reduce a Participant’s Account balance, in order to meet any federal, state, or local or employment tax 

  
 28 

 
withholding obligations with respect to Plan benefits, as permitted under Section 409A of the Code. The Employer or other payor shall report Plan payments and other Plan-related information
to the appropriate governmental agencies as required under applicable laws.

 (f) The Company may set any day as a
record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this

declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to
take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date, provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date (as hereinafter in this
Section provided) by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for
which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its
own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in
Section 1.6. 
 The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.2, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in
Section 5.7(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on
such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date, provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder
unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a
new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in
this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant
to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the
relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6. 

  
 7 

 With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party
hereto that sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day, provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice
of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration
Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the
Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the
180th day after the applicable record date.

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

 Section 1.5 Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Company. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

 (1) the Trustee by any Holder or the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or 
 (2) the Company by the
Trustee or any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1) hereunder if in writing and mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office
specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. 

Section 1.6 Notice to Holders; Waiver. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first class, postage
prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such
notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. In
case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or for any other reason, it shall be impossible or impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when said notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision
of this Indenture or of the relevant Securities, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such
notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing
shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 Section 1.7 Conflict with Trust
Indenture Act. 
 If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is
required under the Trust Indenture Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or
excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.9, for all purposes of this Indenture
such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

  
 17 

 If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to
authenticate such Securities if the Trustee, after being advised by counsel, determines that the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this
Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
 Section 3.4 Temporary Securities.

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

If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for that
purpose without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the
same series, of any authorized denominations having the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms as such temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled
to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor. 
 Section 3.5 Registration, Transfer and
Exchange. 
 The Company shall cause to be kept at each office or agency maintained for registrations of transfers and
exchanges in a Place of Payment pursuant to Section 10.2 with respect to the Securities of each series a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities
and of transfers of Securities. Each such register is herein sometimes referred to as the “Securities Register.” The Company shall designate one Person to maintain the Securities Register for the Securities of each series on a
consolidated basis, and such Person is referred to herein, with respect to such series, as the “Securities Registrar.” The Company appoints the Trustee as Securities Registrar unless otherwise specified with respect to any
particular series in accordance with Section 3.1. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may designate one or more of its offices as an office in which a register with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall
be maintained, and the Company may designate itself the Securities Registrar with respect to one or more of such series. The Company may revoke any designation of a Securities Registrar theretofore made by it. The Securities Register shall be open
for inspection by the Trustee and the Company at all reasonable times. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Security at the office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same
series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, of the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms. 
 At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, of the same Original Issue Date and
Stated Maturity and having the same terms, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Securities issued upon any transfer or
exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

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

  
 18 

 No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Securities, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities. 

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

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

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities
registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security and no successor Depositary has been appointed within 90 days of this notice or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act
at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as depositary and no successor Depositary has been appointed within 90 days after the Company has learned that the Depositary has ceased to be so registered, (B) there shall
have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security, (C) the Company in its sole discretion determines that such Global Security will be so exchangeable or transferable or (D) there shall exist such
circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 3.1. 
 (3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion
thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct. 
 (4) Every Security
authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 3.4, 3.6, 9.6, 11.6 or 13.3 or otherwise, shall be authenticated
and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 

(5) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary nor any other Persons on whose behalf such members or participants may act
shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and
any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Securities Registrar, any authenticating agent or any other agent
of the Company or any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in the form of a Global Security, or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. The Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Securities Registrar and any other agent of the Company and any agent of the Trustee shall be entitled
to deal with any depositary (including any Depositary), and any nominee thereof, that is the holder of any such Global Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any,
and interest, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial
owners thereof. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Securities Registrar or any other agent of the Company or any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of any such depositary
with respect to such Global 

  
 19 

 
Note, for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any transactions between such depositary
and any members or participants in the Depositary or other participant in such depositary or between or among any such depositary, any such member or participant in the Depositary or other participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial
interest in such Global Security or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving
effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, members or participants of the Depositary and any other Person on whose behalf a
member or participant of the Depositary may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial holder of any Global Security. 

Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (a) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of Securities pursuant to Article XI and ending at the close of business on the day
of mailing of notice of redemption or (b) to transfer or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed. 

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed
under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when
expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 Neither the Trustee nor any agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. 
 Section 3.6 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 therefor a new Security of the same issue and series of like tenor and principal amount, having the same Original
Issue Date and Stated Maturity, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the
Company and to 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 them harmless, then, in
the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a
new Security of the same issue and series of like tenor and principal amount, having the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity as such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, 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 and the Trustee 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. 

  
 20 

 Section 3.7 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 

Interest on any Security of any series that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, shall
be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest in respect of Securities of such series, except that, unless otherwise
provided in the Securities of such series, interest payable on the Stated Maturity of the principal of a Security shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. The initial payment of interest on any Security of any series that is issued
between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Security or in the Board Resolution pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to the related series of Securities. 

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

	 	(1)	The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series in respect of which interest is in default
(or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing
of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest that shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause
notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security of such series at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities
Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in
whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

  

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

 Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried
by such other Security. 
 Section 3.8 Persons Deemed Owners. 

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the
owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.7) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither
the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 No holder
of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depositary may be treated by the

  
 21 

 
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the
Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests, the
operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of any Security. 

Section 3.9 Cancellation. 
 All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment, transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered
to the Trustee, and any such Securities and Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities shall be destroyed by the Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver to the Company a certificate of such destruction. 

Section 3.10 Computation of Interest. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. 
 Section 3.11 Agreed Tax Treatment. 
 Each Security issued hereunder shall provide that the Company and, by its acceptance of a Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a beneficial interest in,
such Security agree to treat for U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes such Security as indebtedness of the Company and to treat for U.S. federal income tax purposes stated interest on the Security as ordinary interest income that is includible
in gross income to such Holder or other Person at the time the interest is paid or accrued in accordance with its regular method of tax accounting. 
 Section 3.12 CUSIP Numbers. 
 The Company in issuing the Securities may
use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee or its designee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption or other related material as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such
notice or other related material may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or other related material and that reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP”
numbers. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 Section 4.1 Satisfaction and Discharge of
Indenture. 
 This Indenture shall, upon Company Request, cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for and as otherwise provided in this Section) and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture, when

(ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.3) have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

 (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year of the date of deposit, or 
 (iii) have been called for redemption or are to be called for redemption within one year by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 

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

(2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and 

(3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions

 Notwithstanding the

the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment,

or obligations have been deposited with or received by the Trustee. 
 ARTICLE V 

REMEDIES 

Section 5.1 Events of Default. 
 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to the Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it
shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), unless such event is specifically deleted or
modified in or pursuant to a supplemental indenture or Board Resolution establishing the terms of such series pursuant to this Indenture: 
  

	 	(1)	the failure to pay interest on any Security of that series on an Interest Payment Date and the default continues for a period of 30 days; 

 

	 	(2)	the failure to pay the principal (or premium, if any) of any Security of that series at Maturity; 

 

	 	(3)	a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, and the default continues for a period of 60 days after
written notice thereof to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of least 25% in the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of that series, specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied);

  
 23 

	 	(4)	the failure to repay any Security of that series surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof before their Stated Maturity in conformance with Article
XIII hereof; 

  

	 	(5)	(a) a failure to make any payment at the maturity, including any applicable grace period, on any Indebtedness of the Company at any one time in an amount in excess
of $75 million and continuance of this failure to pay or (b) a default on any of the Company’s Indebtedness, which default results in the acceleration of Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $75 million without such Indebtedness having
been discharged or the acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, for a period of, in the case of clause (a) or (b) above, 60 days or more after written notice thereof to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and
the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series; provided, however, that if the failure, default or acceleration referred to in clause (a) or (b) above shall cease or be
cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default shall be deemed cured; or 

  

	 	(6)	the entry of a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition
seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period
of 90 consecutive days; or 

  

	 	(7)	the institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings
against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such
petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due and its willingness to be adjudicated a bankrupt, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or

  

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

 Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
 If an
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(6) or 5.1(7)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding shall occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that
series) of and accrued but unpaid interest on all 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) specifying the respective Event of Default and that it
is a “notice of acceleration” and the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(6) or 5.1(7) and with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is
continuing, the unpaid principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if the Securities of that series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms of that series) and
accrued and unpaid interest theron shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made, 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: 

 

	 	(1)	the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree; 

  
 24 

	 	(2)	all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration; and

  

	 	(3)	to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration, has been paid. 

 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereto. 
 Holders may not enforce this Indenture except as provided in this Indenture and under
the Trust Indenture Act. Subject to the provisions herein relating to the duties of the Trustee in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this
Indenture at the request or discretion of any of the Holders, unless the Holders shall have offered to the trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall exercise such rights
and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs. 

Section 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

The Company covenants that if: 
 (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of
30 days, or 
 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity
thereof, 
 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole
amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal, including any sinking fund payment or analogous obligations (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest); and, in addition thereto, all amounts owing the Trustee
under Section 6.7. 
 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, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor
upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated. 

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

Section 5.4 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: 
 (a) the Trustee
(irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series 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 (and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest)) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including any
Additional Interest) owing and unpaid in respect to the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable and to take any and all actions as are authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have the
claims of the Holders and any predecessor to the Trustee under Section 6.7 allowed in any such judicial proceedings; and 
 (ii) in particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same in accordance with
Section 5.6; and 

  
 25 

 (b) 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 for distribution in accordance with Section 5.6, 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 to it and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.7. 

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; provided,
however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee. 

Section 5.5 Trustee May Enforce Claim 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 all the amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.7, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been
recovered. 
 Section 5.6 Application of Money Collected. 
 Any money or property collected or to be applied by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional 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 and any
predecessor Trustee; 
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon such series of Securities for principal
(and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest), in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on
such series of Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest), respectively; and 
 THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. 
 Section 5.7
Limitation on Suits. 
 No Holder of any Securities 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, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 

 

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

 

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

  

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

  
 26 

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

 

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

 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities, 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 (it being further understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to
ascertain whether or not any action the Holders direct it to take is unduly prejudicial to other Holders). 
 Section 5.8 Unconditional
Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the
Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.7) interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Security on the
respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may be) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right
shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 5.9 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 such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 Except as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right
or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of
any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Holder of any Security 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 the Holders, as the case may be. 

Section 5.12 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: 
  

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

  
 27 

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

 

	 	(3)	subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow such direction if the Trustee shall, in good faith, determine that
the proceeding so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not joining in any such direction or would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

 Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 The Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may waive any past default hereunder and its consequences with respect to such series except a default: 

(1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest, if any) on any Security of
such series, or 
 (2) in respect of a provision hereof that under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 Any such waiver shall be deemed to be on behalf
of the Holders of all the Securities of such series. 
 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 5.14 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 or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may
in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions
of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security. 

Section 5.15 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay
or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 ARTICLE VI 
 THE TRUSTEE 
 Section 6.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 

The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the
conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 

  
 28 

 Section 6.2 Notice of Defaults. 

Within 90 days after actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect
to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Securities Register, notice of such default, unless such default shall have been cured or
waived; provided, however, that, in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.1(3) with respect to Securities of any series, no such notice shall be given until at least 60 days after such actual knowledge;
provided, further, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding
such notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event
that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. 

Section 6.3 Certain Rights of Trustee. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1: 
 (a) the Trustee may rely and
shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, Security or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
 (b) any request or direction of the Company
mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 

(c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel, or both;

 (d) 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; 
 (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless
such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satifactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 

(f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, indenture, security or other paper or document, but the Trustee in its discretion may make such inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit,
and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney, at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no
liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation; 
 (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

  
 29 

 (h) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; 

(i) in the exercise of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, after an Event of Default, the Trustee shall use the same
degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability
with respect to matters that are within the authority of the Trustee under this Indenture for its own negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, except that: 

(i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error or judgment made in good faith by an authorized officer of the Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (ii) the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee under this Indenture; 
 (iii) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit)
irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; 
 (iv) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which
is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture; and 

(v) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its
right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 
 Section 6.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, except
that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in a Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to
the Company are true and accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the Securities or the proceeds thereof.

 Section 6.5 May Hold Securities. 
 The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Securities Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities
and, subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Securities Registrar or such other agent. 

Section 6.6 Money Held in Trust. 
 Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it
hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company and any interest on or investment of any money received by it shall be for the exclusive benefit of the Company. 
 Section 6.7 Compensation and Reimbursement. 
 The Company agrees

 (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the Trustee have agreed in writing for all
services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

  
 30 

 (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except
any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct; and 
 (3) to
indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, action, suit, cost or expense of any kind and nature whatsoever incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of this trust or the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder, except to the extent such loss, liability, claim, action, suit, cost or expense is attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or (6) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 or any successor statute. 
 Section 6.8 Disqualification;
Conflicting Interests. 
 If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust
Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee
shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series if all such series rank equally at the time of issuance. 

Section 6.9 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, which may be Trustee hereunder for Securities of one or more other series. Each Trustee shall be a Person
that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and shall be: 
 (a) a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial
or District of Columbia authority, or 
 (b) a corporation or other Person organized and doing business under the laws of a
foreign government that is permitted to act as Trustee pursuant to a rule, regulation or order of the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign
government or a political subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees, 
 in either case having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then, for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company shall serve as Trustee for the
Securities of any series issued hereunder. 

  
 31 

 Section 6.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective
until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.11. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time
with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

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

 (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 
 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under
Section 6.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 
 (3) the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs
for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, (i) the Company, acting pursuant to the
authority of a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any
cause with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted
appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, the Trustee or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, subject to Section 5.14, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 
 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Securities Register. Each notice shall include the name of
the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Section 6.11
Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
 (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to
all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee 

  
 32 

 
an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

 (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all)
series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an instrument in writing or an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall
accept such appointment and that (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary
or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring
Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or
in such instrument in writing or supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder
administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such instrument in writing or supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 (c) Upon request of any
such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section,
as the case may be. 
 (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
 Section 6.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business. 
 Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have
been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated, and in case any
Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor Trustee or in the name of such successor Trustee, and in all cases the certificate of authentication
shall have the full force that it is provided anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 

Section 6.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 
 If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the
collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). 

  
 33 

 Section 6.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities that shall be authorized to act
on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee
or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by
an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, or of any State or Territory or the District
of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any corporation into which an
Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all
or substantially all of the corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent shall be the successor Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at
any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving
such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent that
shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor
Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor
Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provision of this Section. 
 The Company agrees to pay to
each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 
 If an appointment
with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the
following form: 
 This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within mentioned Indenture.

 ARTICLE VIII

 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE, TRANSFER OR LEASE

 The
Company shall not consolidate with, merge with or into, any other Person, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property and assets (in one transaction or a series of related transactions), unless:

 (1) (i) the Company shall be the continuing Person or (ii) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such
consolidation or into which the Company is merged, or to which its properties and assets shall be sold, conveyed, transferred or leased, shall be a Person organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any
jurisdiction thereof and shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all of the Company’s obligations on the Securities of each series and under the Indenture;

relating to such transaction have been complied with and that such supplemental indenture (if any) constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and any such successor enforceable against such entity in accordance with its
terms, subject to customary exceptions and (B) an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 9.2 Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. 
 With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to

 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has
expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect
the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of
Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

of the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. 

ARTICLE X 

COVENANTS 

Section 10.1 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. 
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of that series in
accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture. 
 Section 10.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities, an office or agency where Securities of that series may
be presented or surrendered for payment and an office or agency where Securities of that series may be surrendered for transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this
Indenture may be served. The Company initially appoints the Trustee, acting through its Corporate Trust Office, as its agent for said purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such
office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all of such purposes, and may
from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any
series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation and any change in the location of any such office or agency. 
 Section 10.3 Money for Securities Payments to be Held in Trust. 
 If
the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will
promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to act. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any
series of Securities, it will, prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on each due date of the principal of or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or
interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal and premium (if any) or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its
failure so to act. 
 The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute
and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 
 (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums
shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 

  
 39 

 (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities of that series) in the making of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest; and 
 (3) at any
time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee
all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the
Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 Any money deposited with
the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security of that series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if
any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid on Company Request to the Company, or (if then held by the Company) shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and
all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 
 Section 10.4 Statement as to Compliance. 

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each calendar year of the Company ending after the date
hereof, an Officer’s Certificate signed by the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer covering the preceding calendar year, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof
the Company is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of or compliance with any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture, and if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the
nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. For the purpose of this Section, compliance shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

Section 10.5 Waiver of Certain Covenants. 
 The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition provided pursuant to Section 3.1, 9.1(7) or 9.1(9) with respect to the Securities of any series, if before or
after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with
such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company in respect of any such
covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. If the Securities of a series have not been registered under the Securities Act, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of such series, by Act of such Holders, may waive
compliance by the Company with the Trust Indenture Act with respect to such series unless such compliance is otherwise required by the Trust Indenture Act. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

Section 11.1 Applicability of this Article. 
 Redemption of Securities of any series (whether by operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) as permitted or required by any form of Security issued pursuant to this Indenture shall be made in accordance
with such form of Security and this Article; provided, however, that if any provision of any such form of Security shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the provision of such form of Security shall govern. Except as otherwise set
forth in the form of Security for such series, each Security of such series shall be subject to partial redemption only in the amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 thereof. 

  
 40 

 Section 11.2 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at
the election of the Company of any of the Securities of any particular series and having the same terms, the Company shall, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such date and of the principal amount of Securities of that series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of
such Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel evidencing compliance with such restriction. 
 Section 11.3 Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. 
 If less than all
the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called
for redemption, pro rata, or in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary and that may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series, provided that the unredeemed portion
of the principal amount of any Security shall be in a denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed
(unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified
tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Company in writing of the Securities selected for partial redemption and the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities
shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security that has been or is to be redeemed. If the Company shall so direct, Securities registered in the name of the
Company, any Affiliate or any Subsidiary thereof shall not be included in the Securities selected for redemption. 
 Section 11.4 Notice
of Redemption. 
 Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than the
thirtieth day, and not earlier than the sixtieth day, prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register. 

With respect to Securities of each series to be redeemed, each notice of redemption shall state: 

(a) the Redemption Date; 
 (b) the Redemption Price or if the Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be sent, the estimate of the Redemption Price provided pursuant to this Indenture
together with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated on a specified day prior to the Redemption Date; 
 (c) if less than all Outstanding Securities of such particular series and having the same terms are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal
amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed; 
 (d) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due
and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after said date; 
 (e) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; 
 (f) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case; and 
 (g) the
CUSIP number(s) of the Securities being redeemed. 

  
 41 

 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be
given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall not be irrevocable. The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. 
 Section 11.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. 

Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in
Section 11.4, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company will segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and any accrued interest (including Additional Interest) on, all the Securities that are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 11.6 Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. 
 If any
notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 11.4, the Securities or portion of Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice
at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a Place of Payment in said notice specified, the said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable
Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, installments of interest whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 3.7. 
 Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security
so presented and having the same Original Issue Date, Stated Maturity and terms. If a Global Security is so surrendered, such new Security (subject to Section 3.5) will also be a new Global Security. 

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

ARTICLE XII 
 SINKING FUNDS 
 Section 12.1 Applicability of Article. 

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided
for by the terms of any Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any sinking fund payment in excess of such minimum amount that is permitted to be made by the terms of such Securities of any
series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of any Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.2.
Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption (or purchase by tender or otherwise) of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of such Securities. 
 Section 12.2 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

In lieu of making all or any part of a mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may
at its option, at any time no more than 16 months and no less than 45 days prior to 

  
 42 

 
the date on which such sinking fund payment is due, deliver to the Trustee Securities of such series (together with the unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) theretofore purchased or
otherwise acquired by the Company, except Securities of such series that have been redeemed through the application of mandatory or optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of the Securities of such series, accompanied by a Company Order
instructing the Trustee to credit such obligations and stating that the Securities of such series were originally issued by the Company by way of bona fide sale or other negotiation for value; provided that the Securities to be so credited
have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price for such Securities, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
 Section 12.3
Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 
 Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as provided pursuant to Section 3.1) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting
Securities pursuant to Section 12.2 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Such Officer’s Certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the cash payment or
payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the succeeding sinking fund payment date. In the case of the failure of the Company to deliver such Officer’s Certificate (or, as required by this Indenture, the Securities and coupons, if any,
specified in such Officer’s Certificate), the sinking fund payment due on the succeeding sinking fund payment date for such series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amount of the Securities of such
series subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the right to deliver or credit securities as provided in Section 12.2 and without the right to make the optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series at such time.

 Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking
fund payments made with respect to the Securities of any particular series shall be applied by the Trustee (or by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent) on the sinking fund payment date on which such payment is made (or, if
such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on the sinking fund payment date immediately following the date of such payment) to the redemption of Securities of such series at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities with
respect to the sinking fund. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregated and held in trust by the Company as provided in Section 10.3) for such series and
together with such payment (or such amount so segregated) shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Securities of any particular series held by the Trustee (or if the
Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregated and held in trust as provided in Section 10.3) on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Securities of such series and not held for the payment or redemption of particular
Securities of such series shall be applied by the Trustee (or by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent), together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited (or segregated) sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of
the principal of the Securities of such series at Maturity. The Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.3 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be
given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 11.4. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 11.6. On
or before each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) in cash a sum in the currency in
which Securities of such series are payable (except as provided pursuant to Section 3.1) equal to the principal, premium, if any, and any interest accrued to the Redemption Date for Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking
fund payment date pursuant to this Section. 
 Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall redeem any Securities of a series with
sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such series by operation of the sinking fund for such series during the continuance of a default in payment of interest, if any, on any Securities of such series or of any Event
of Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph) with respect to the Securities of such series, except that if the notice of redemption shall have been provided in accordance with the provisions hereof, the

  
 43 

 
Trustee (or the Company, if the Company is then acting as its own Paying Agent) shall redeem such Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee (or segregated
by the Company) for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter paid into
such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of the Securities and coupons, if any, of such series; provided, however, that in case such default or Event of Default
shall have been cured or waived herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next sinking fund payment date for the Securities of such series on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section. 

ARTICLE XIII 
 REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS 
 Section 13.1 Applicability of Article.

 Securities of any series that are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their Stated Maturity shall be repaid
in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Securities of such series) in accordance with this Article. 
 Section 13.2 Repayment of Securities. 
 Each Security that is subject
to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holder thereof on a Repayment Date shall be repaid at the applicable Repayment Price together with interest accrued to such Repayment Date as specified pursuant to Section 3.1. 

Section 13.3 Exercise of Option; Notice. 
 Each Holder desiring to exercise such Holder’s option for repayment shall, as conditions to such repayment, surrender the Security to be repaid in whole or in part together with written notice of the
exercise of such option at any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Repayment Date. Such notice, which shall be irrevocable, shall specify the principal amount of such
Security to be repaid, which shall be equal to the minimum authorized denomination for such Security or an integral multiple thereof, and shall identify the Security to be repaid and, in the case of a partial repayment of the Security, shall specify
the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities of the same series to be issued to the Holder for the portion of the principal of the Security surrendered that is not to be repaid. 

The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver without service charge to the Holder of any Security so
surrendered a new Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination specified in the foregoing notice, in an aggregate principal amount equal to any portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered that is not to be
repaid. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the repayment
of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security repaid or to be repaid only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Security that has been or is to be repaid. 
 Section 13.4 Securities Payable on the Repayment Date. 
 Notice of
exercise of the option of repayment having been given and the Securities so to be repaid having been surrendered as aforesaid, such Securities shall, unless purchased in accordance with this Section, on the Repayment Date become due and payable at
the price therein specified and from and after the Repayment Date such Securities shall cease to bear interest and shall be paid on the Repayment Date, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such price in which case the Company shall
continue to be obligated for the principal amount of such Securities and shall be obligated to pay interest on such principal amount at the rate borne by such Securities from time to time until payment in full of such principal amount. 

  
 44 

 ARTICLE XIV 
 DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 14.1 Applicability of Article;
Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 If pursuant to Section 3.1 provision is made for
either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 14.2 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 14.3, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be,
together with the other provisions of this Article XIV, shall be applicable to the Securities of such series, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Securities of such series, elect to have either
Section 14.2 (if applicable) or Section 14.3 (if applicable) be applied to the Outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article XIV. 

Section 14.2 Defeasance and Discharge. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its
obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 14.4 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance
means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the
purposes of Section 14.5 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this
Indenture insofar as such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until
otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 14.4 and as more fully set forth in
such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such
Securities under Sections 3.5, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.3, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article XIV, the Company may exercise its option under
this Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 14.3 with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto. 
 Section 14.3 Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon the Company’s exercise of
the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be released from its obligations under Section 8.1 and Sections 10.4 to 10.5, inclusive, and, if specified pursuant to
Section 3.1, its obligations under any other covenant, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 14.4 are satisfied (hereinafter,
“covenant defeasance”), and such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with Section 8.1 and Sections 10.4 to 10.5, inclusive, or such other covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant
defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or
such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any
other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section 5.1(3) or 5.1(8) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby. 
 Section 14.4 Conditions to Defeasance and Covenant
Defeasance. 
 The following shall be the conditions to application of Sections 14.2 and 14.3 to any Outstanding
Securities of or within a series and any coupons appertaining thereto: 
 (a) The Company irrevocably deposits in trust for the
benefit of Holders of the series of Securities cash or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, that, in the opinion of an independent accounting firm, which shall be delivered to the Trustee, will generate enough cash to make
interest, principal, any premium and any other payments on the Securities of that series at their Stated Maturity. 

  
 45 

 (b) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach of violation of, or
constitute a breach of default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound (and shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest pursuant to
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any Security of the Company). 
 (c) No
Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 5.1(6) and 5.1(7) are
concerned, at any time during the period ending on the
91st day after the date of such deposit (it being
understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period). 
 (d) The Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with. 

(e) After the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally. 
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Section, such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.1. 

(g) With respect to defeasance pursuant to Section 14.2, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
stating that either (i) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in U.S. federal tax law or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service has published a ruling or the Company has received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Services,
and based on that ruling or change, Holders of the series of Securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner
and at the same times as if no defeasance had occurred. 
 (h) With respect to covenant defeasance pursuant to
Section 14.3, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that under then current U.S. federal income tax law the Company may make the above deposit without causing Holders to be taxed on the Securities any
differently than if the Company did not make the deposit and instead repaid the Securities at the Stated Maturity. 
 If the
Company completes a full defeasance, as described above, Holders of the affected series of Securities shall be required to rely solely on the trust deposit for repayment of the Securities. However, the Company will remain subject to obligations to
exchange or register the transfer of such Securities, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated Securities, to maintain paying agencies, to hold moneys for payment in trust and, if applicable, to effect conversion of such Securities. 

Section 14.5 Deposited Money and Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (or other property as may
be provided pursuant to Section 3.1) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 14.5, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 14.4 in
respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture,
to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

  
 46 

 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 14.4 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of
such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto. 
 Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 14.4 which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant
defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article. 
 Section 14.6 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or the U.S. Government Obligations, as the case may be, in accordance with
this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture, such Securities and
any coupons appertaining thereto from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 14.2 or 14.3 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities,
until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money or U.S. Government Obligations, as the case may be, held in trust pursuant to Section 14.5 with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto in
accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if
any) of the Holders of such Securities or coupons to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations, as the case may be, so held in trust. 
 * * * * 
 This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
