    	 	6 	 

     

    

 

All
Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms
of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate
referred to above, and the authorized principal amount of any Series may not be increased to provide for issuance of additional
Securities of such Series, unless otherwise provided in such Board Resolution, supplemental Indenture or Officers’ Certificate.

 

SECTION
2.03. Execution and Authentication.

 

Two
Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

 

If
an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security
shall nevertheless be valid.

 

A
Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature
shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

 

The
Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided
in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company
Order. Such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company
or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Each Security shall be
dated the date of its authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’
Certificate.

 

The
aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal
amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 2.02, except as provided in Section 2.08.

 

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

 

The
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised
by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken; or (b) if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith
shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities.

 

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

 

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

SECTION
2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent.

 

The
Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series
pursuant to Section 2.02, an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying
Agent”) and where Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”).
The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their transfer and exchange. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each Registrar
and Paying Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar or Paying Agent or shall fail
to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations and surrenders may be made or served at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations and surrenders.

 

The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars or additional paying agents and may from time to time rescind
such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations
to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.02 for Securities of any Series for such
purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in
the name or address of any such co-registrar or additional paying agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar;
and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.

 

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

 

SECTION
2.05. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

 

The
Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for
the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment
of principal of or interest on the Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any
such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.
The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee,
the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or
a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Securityholders of
any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent.

 

SECTION
2.06. Securityholder Lists.

 

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

 

SECTION
2.07. Transfer and Exchange.

 

Where
Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them
for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange
if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate
Securities at the Registrar’s request. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company or the
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge required by law; provided that
this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.08, 2.11, 3.06 or 9.06.

 

    	 	8 	 

     

    

 

Neither
the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series for
the period beginning at the opening of business [__] days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities
of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the
transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being
redeemed of any such Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION
2.09. Outstanding Securities.

 

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

 

If
a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to
it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

 

If
the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds on the Maturity of Securities of
a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series
cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

 

    	 	9 	 

     

    

 

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

 

SECTION
2.10. Treasury Securities.

 

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

 

SECTION
2.11. Temporary Securities.

 

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

 

SECTION
2.12. Cancellation.

 

The
Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to
the Trustee or its agent any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee and no
one else shall cancel, in accordance with its standard procedures, all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment,
conversion or cancellation and shall deliver the cancelled Securities to the Company. No Security shall be authenticated in exchange
for any Security cancelled pursuant to this Section 2.12.

 

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

 

SECTION
2.13. Global Securities.

 

	 	(a)	A
    Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate shall establish whether the Securities
    of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depository for such Global
    Security or Securities. 

 

	 	(b)	 

 

	 	 	(i)	Notwithstanding
    any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.07 of the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall
    be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the
    Depository for such Security or its nominee only if (A) such Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable
    to continue as Depository for such Global Security or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered
    under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depository within 90 days of such event,
    (B) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security
    shall be so exchangeable or (C) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented by such Global Security shall
    have happened and be continuing.
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(ii)	Except
    as provided in this Section 2.13(b), a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository with respect
    to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depository, by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee
    of such Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.

 

    	 	10 	 

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

“This
Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the
Depository or a nominee of the Depository. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other
than the Depository or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except
as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository, by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee
of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.”

 

	 	(d)	The
    Depository, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization,
    direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture. 

 

    	 	11 	 

     

    

 

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

 

SECTION
2.14. CUSIP Numbers.

 

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

 

ARTICLE
III

SECTION
3.01. Notice to Trustee.

 

The
Company may, with respect to any series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant
to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms
as provided for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior
to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify
the Trustee and Registrar in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The
Company shall give the notice at least [__] days before the redemption date (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the
Trustee and Registrar).

 

SECTION
3.02. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

 

Unless
otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate,
if less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Registrar shall select the Securities of the Series to be
redeemed in accordance with its customary procedures. The Registrar shall make the selection from Securities of the Series outstanding
not previously called for redemption. The Registrar may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of the Series
that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000
or whole multiples of $1,000 or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section
2.02(g), the minimum principal denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that
apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called for redemption.

 

    	 	12 	 

     

    

 

SECTION
3.03. Notice of Redemption.

 

Unless
otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate,
at least [__] days but not more than [__] days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class

    other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Securities of a Series being redeemed.

 

At
the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall distribute the notice of redemption prepared by the Company in the Company’s

COVENANTS

 

SECTION
4.01. Payment of Principal and Interest.

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	13 	 

     

    

 

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

 

SECTION
4.02. SEC Reports.

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION
4.03. Compliance Certificate.

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	14 	 

     

    

 

SECTION
4.04. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

 

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

 

SECTION
4.05. Corporate Existence.

 

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

 

SECTION
4.06. Taxes.

 

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

 

SECTION
4.07. Additional Interest Notice.

 

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

 

SECTION
4.08. Further Instruments and Acts.

 

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

DEFAULTS
AND REMEDIES

 

SECTION
6.01. Events of Default.

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	16 	 

     

    

 

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

 

	 	 	(i)	commences
    a voluntary case or proceeding; 
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(ii)	consents
    to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;

    is unable to pay its debts as the same become due;

    court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	17 	 

     

    

 

SECTION
6.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

 

	 	(a)	If
    an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01) occurs and is continuing
    with respect to any Securities of any Series, then in every such case, the Trustee may, by notice to the Company, or the Holders
    of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that Series then outstanding may, by notice to the Company
    and the Trustee, declare all unpaid principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on to the date of acceleration, the Securities
    of that Series then outstanding (if not then due and payable) to be due and payable upon any such declaration, and the same
    shall become and be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 occurs,
    all unpaid principal of the Securities then outstanding, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of acceleration,
    shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee
    or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that Series then outstanding by
    notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration of such Securities of that Series and its consequences if (a) all existing
    Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Securities which has become due solely by such declaration
    of acceleration, have been cured or waived; (b) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest (calculated
    at the Default Rate) on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such
    declaration of acceleration, has been paid; (c) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of
    competent jurisdiction; and (d) all payments due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 7.07 have been made.
    No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	Notwithstanding
    any of provision of this Article 6, at the election of the Company in its sole discretion, the sole remedy under this Indenture
    for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 4.02, and for any failure to comply with the requirements
    of Section 314(a)(1) of the TIA, will consist, for the 180 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, exclusively
    of the right to receive additional interest on the Securities at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the aggregate principal
    amount of the Securities then outstanding up to, but not including, the 181st day thereafter (or, if applicable, the earlier
    date on which the Event of Default relating to Section 4.02 is cured or waived). Any such additional interest will be payable
    in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Securities. In no event shall additional interest
    accrue under the terms of this Indenture at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum, in the aggregate, for any violation or default
    caused by the failure of the Company to be current in respect of its Exchange Act reporting obligations. If the Event of Default
    is continuing on the 181st day after an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with Section 4.02, the Securities
    will be subject to acceleration as provided in this Section 6.02. The provisions of this Section 6.02(b) will not affect the
    rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Events of Default.
	 	 	 
	 	 	In
    order to elect to pay additional interest as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of an Event of
    Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 4.02 in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company
    shall notify all Holders and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election on or before the close of business on the fifth
    Business Day after the date on which such Event of Default otherwise would occur. Upon a failure by the Company to timely
    give such notice or pay additional interest, the Securities will be immediately subject to acceleration as otherwise provided
    in this Section 6.02.

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	18 	 

     

    

 

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

 

SECTION
6.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

 

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

 

	 	(a)	to
    file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to
    file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including
    any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and
    of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	to
    collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and
    any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding
    is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent
    to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation,
    expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section
    7.07. 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION
6.06. Application of Money Collected.

 

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

 

    	 	19 	 

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

Third:
To the Company.

 

SECTION
6.07. Limitation on Suits.

 

No
Holder of any Security of any Series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to
this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder (except actions for payment
of overdue principal and interest), unless:

 

	 	(a)	such
    Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities
    of that Series; 
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	the
    Holders of not less than [__]% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series shall have made written request
    to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
	 	 	 
	 	(c)	such
    Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to
    be incurred in compliance with such request; 
	 	 	 
	 	(d)	the
    Trustee for [__] days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding;
    and
	 	 	 
	 	(e)	no
    direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such [__]-day period by the Holders
    of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series; it being understood and intended that no one
    or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
    Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority
    or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided
    and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders. 

 

SECTION
6.08. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed
in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 

SECTION
6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

 

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

 

    	 	20 	 

     

    

 

SECTION
6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

 

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

 

SECTION
6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

 

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

 

SECTION
6.12. Control by Holders.

 

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

 

	 	(a)	such
    direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, 
	 	 	 
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	the
    Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction; and
	 	 	 
	 	(c)	subject
    to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee
    in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the
    Trustee in personal liability or would be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder or the Trustee. 

 

SECTION
6.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.

its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default
shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

SECTION
6.14. Undertaking for Costs.

 

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

    belief that any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, direction,
    approval or other paper or document was genuine and had been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not

    it in compliance with such request or direction. 

 

SECTION
7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.

 

The
Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the

    	 	23 	 

     

    

 

SECTION
7.05. Notice of Defaults.

 

If
a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series and if a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee has knowledge or receives written notice of such event, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the Securities
of that Series, notice of a Default or Event of Default within [__] days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in
payment of principal of or interest on any Security of any Series, including any additional interest that may become payable pursuant
to Section 6.02(b), the Trustee may withhold the notice so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice
is in the interests of Securityholders of that Series.

 

SECTION
7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders.

 

Within
[__] days after [__] in each year, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear
on the register kept by the Registrar, a brief report dated as of such [__], in accordance with, and to the extent required under,
TIA Section 313. A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders of any Series shall be filed with the SEC
and each stock exchange on which the Securities of that Series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when
Securities of any Series are listed on any stock exchange.

 

SECTION
7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

 

The
Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as shall be agreed upon in writing. The

reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred by it. Such
expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents, counsel and other persons not regularly
in its employ.

 

The
Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents,
from and against and reimburse the Trustee for any and all claims, expenses, obligations, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries
(to person, property, or natural resources), penalties, stamp or other similar taxes, actions, suits, judgments, reasonable costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s and agent’s fees and expenses) of whatever kind or nature regardless
of their merit, demanded, asserted or claimed against the Trustee directly or indirectly relating to, or arising from, claims
against the Trustee by reason of its participation in the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation all reasonable
costs required to be associated with claims for damages to persons or property, and reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’
fees and expenses and court costs except to the extent caused by the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions
of this Section 7.07 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. The
Company shall defend any claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company
shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees,
shareholders and agents of the Trustee.

 

The
Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director,
employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through negligence or bad faith.

 

To
secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any Series
on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular
Securities of that Series.

 

When
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) occurs, the expenses
and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

 

SECTION
7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

 

A
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.

 

    	 	24 	 

     

    

 

The
Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee
and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of one or more Series if:

 

	 	(a)	the
    Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	the
    Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy
    Law; 
	 	 	 
	 	(c)	a
    Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
	 	 	 
	 	 	the
    Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

 

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

 

If
a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take office within [__] days after the retiring
Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least [__]% in principal amount of the Securities
of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately
after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the lien
provided for in Section 7.07, and subject to the payment of any and all amounts then due and owing to the retiring Trustee, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers
and duties of the Trustee with respect to each Series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. A
successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to each Securityholder of each such Series. Notwithstanding replacement
of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it prior to such replacement.

 

SECTION
7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

 

If
the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business
to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee with the same effect
as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein.

 

SECTION
7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

 

This
Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall
always have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b).

 

SECTION
7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

 

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

    	 	29 	 

     

    

 

SECTION
9.02. With Consent of Holders.

 

The
Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all Series affected by such supplemental indenture, taken together as one
class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of
any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Securityholders of each such Series. Except as provided
in Section 6.13, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all Series affected by
such waiver by notice to the Trustee, taken together as one class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer
or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture
or the Securities with respect to such Series.

 

It
shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of
any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After
a supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail or publish such notice,
or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

 

SECTION
9.03. Limitations.

 

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

 

	 	(a)	change
    the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver, except to increase any such amount
    or to provide that certain provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified, amended or waived without the consent of the Holder
    of each outstanding Security affected thereby; 
	 	 	 
	 	(b)	reduce
    the amount of interest, or change the interest payment time, on any Security; 
	 	 	 
	 	(c)	waive
    a redemption payment or alter the redemption provisions (other than any alteration that would not materially adversely affect
    the legal rights of any Holder under this Indenture) or the price at which the Company is required to offer to purchase the
    Securities; 
	 	 	 
	 	(d)	reduce
    the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment
    of any sinking fund or analogous obligation; 
	 	 	 
	 	(e)	reduce
    the principal amount payable of any Security upon Maturity; 
	 	 	 
	 	(f)	waive
    a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security (except a rescission
    of acceleration of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
    Securities of such Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
	 	 	 
	 	(g)	change
    the place or currency of payment of principal of or interest, if any, on any Security other than that stated in the Security;
    
	 	 	 
	 	(h)	impair
    the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal or, or interest on, the Securities of such Holder on or after the
    due dates therefor; 
	 	 	 
	 	(i)	impair
    the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on, or with respect to, any Security;

 

    	 	30 	 

     

    

 

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

 

SECTION
9.04. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

 

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

 

SECTION
9.05. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

 

Until
an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and
every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security,
even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent
as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or
waiver becomes effective. Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Securityholder of each Series affected by such
amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (a) through (g) of Section 9.03 in that case, the amendment
or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of
a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.

 

SECTION
9.06. Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

 

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

 

SECTION
9.07. Trustee Protected.

 

In
executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications
thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall
be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel or an Officer’s Certificate, or both stating that the execution
of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures,
except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights, duties or indemnities.

 

SECTION
9.08. Effect of Supplemental Indenture.

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION
10.17. Judgment Currency.

 

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

 

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

 

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

Prior to the Closing, the Administrator, or in the case of any Other Critical Employee, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, may grant

 6. Limitation of Certain Payments. 

In the event that any payments and/or benefits due to a Participant under the Plan and/or any other arrangements are determined by the Company
to constitute “excess parachute payments” as defined under Section 280G of the Code, any Retention Bonus Amount payable under the Plan shall be reduced by the minimum amount necessary, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph,
such that the present value of such parachute payments is below 300% of such Participant’s “base amount” (as defined under Section 280G of the Code), and by accepting participation in the Plan, each Participant agrees to waive
his or her rights to any “parachute payments” (as defined under Section 280G of the Code) sufficient to reduce such parachute payments to below such threshold; provided, however, in no event shall such Retention Bonus
Amount be reduced below zero. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payments or benefits shall be reduced under this Section 6 unless (a) the net amount of such payments and benefits, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of
federal, state and local income taxes on such reduced payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and 

  
 4 

 
personal exemptions attributable to such reduced payments and benefits), is greater than or equal to (b) the net amount of such payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net
amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such payments and benefits and the amount of excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code as to which such Participant would be subject in respect of such unreduced payments and benefits
and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced payments). For purposes hereof, (i) the order in which any amounts are deemed to be reduced, if applicable, is
(A) cash payments, (B) other non-cash forms of benefits, and (C) equity-based payments and acceleration of vesting, and (ii) within any such category of payments and benefits (that is,
(i)(A), (i)(B) or (i)(C) above), (A) a reduction shall occur first with respect to amounts that are not “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and then with respect to amounts that are and (B) to
the extent that any such amounts are to be made over time (e.g., in installments, etc.), then the amounts shall be reduced in reverse chronological order. 

7. Additional Terms. 

(a) Designation of an individual as a Participant shall not provide any guarantee or promise of continued service or employment of the
Participant with the Employer or any other member of the Company Group, and the Employer retains the right to terminate the employment of any Participant, at any time, with or without Cause, for any reason or no reason, except as may be restricted
by law or contract. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the payment of any Retention Bonus Amount shall be
conditioned upon and subject to the Clawback Policy. 
 (c) The Company’s obligation to pay the Participant the amounts provided and to
make the arrangements provided hereunder shall not be subject to set-off, counterclaim, or recoupment of amounts owed by the Participant to the Company or its Affiliates. The Participant shall not be required
to mitigate the amount of any payment provided pursuant to the Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, and the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to the Plan shall not be reduced by any compensation earned as a result of the
Participant’s other employment or otherwise. 
 (d) It is intended that the payments to be made under this Plan comply with the
“short-term deferral exemption” provided under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Administrator shall interpret the Plan provisions accordingly. Notwithstanding such, in no event whatsoever
shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on any Participant by Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code,
other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A of the Code. 
 (e) The
Plan is intended to be a “bonus program” as defined under U.S. Department of Labor regulation 2510.3-2(c) and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intention. 

  
 5 

 (f) If any provision of this Plan is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall
not affect the other provisions of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid provision had been omitted. All questions concerning the construction, validation and interpretation of the Plan shall be governed by the
laws of the state of Texas without regard to its conflict of laws’ provisions. 
 (g) To the maximum extent permitted by law, a
Participant’s rights or benefits under this Plan shall not be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall
be void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such benefit. 

(h) The headings in the Plan are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning
thereof.
