THE SECURITIES 

Section 2.01.    Issuable in Series. The aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be authenticated

Certificate detailing the adoption of the terms thereof pursuant to the authority granted under a Board Resolution. In the case of Securities of a Series to be issued from time to time, the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or
supplemental indenture may provide for the method by which specified terms (such as interest rate, maturity date, record date or date from which interest shall accrue) are to be determined. Securities may differ between Series in respect of any
matters, provided that all Series of Securities shall be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

 (d)    the rate or rates (which may be fixed or
variable) per annum or, if applicable, the method used to determine such rate or rates (including, but not limited to, any commodity, commodity index, stock exchange index or financial index) at which the Securities of the Series shall bear
interest, if any, the date or dates from which such interest, if any, shall commence and be payable and any regular record date for the interest payable on any interest payment date; 

(e)    any optional or mandatory sinking fund provisions or conversion or exchangeability provisions upon which Securities
of the Series shall be redeemed, purchased, converted or exchanged; 
 (f)    the date, if any, after which and the
price or prices at which the Securities of the Series may be optionally redeemed or must be mandatorily redeemed and any other terms and provisions of optional or mandatory provisions;

of the Series shall be issuable; 
 (h)    if other than the full principal amount, the portion of the principal amount
of the Securities of the Series that shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02 or provable in bankruptcy;

Company’s election or at the election of any Holder, in a currency other than that in which the Securities of the Series are stated to be payable, the period or periods within which, and the terms and conditions upon which, the election may be
made; 
 (l)    if payments of interest, if any, on the Securities of the Series will be payable, at the Company’s
election or at the election of any Holder, in cash or additional securities, and the terms and conditions upon which the election may be made; 

  
 - 7 - 

 (m)    if denominated in a currency or currencies other than the currency of
the United States of America, the equivalent price of the Securities of the Series in the currency of the United States of America for purposes of determining the voting rights of Holders of the Securities of the Series; 

(n)    if the amount of payments of principal, premium or interest may be determined with reference to an index, formula
or other method based on a coin or currency other than that in which the Securities of the Series are stated to be payable, the manner in which the amounts will be determined;

(s)    additional provisions, if any, related to defeasance and discharge of the offered debt securities; and

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. 

  
 - 8 - 

 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 

  
 - 9 - 

 
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

  
 - 10 - 

 
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 2.11, 2.08, 3.06 or 9.06. 
 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 delivery 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 delivery, 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. 

  
 - 11 - 

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

 In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the
date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02. 

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. 

  
 - 12 - 

 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.    Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of
Securities, it shall pay defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any interest payable on the defaulted interest at the Default Rate, to the persons who are Security holders of the Series on a subsequent special record date. The
Company shall fix the record date and payment date. At least [ ] days before the record date, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent and to each Securityholder of the Series a notice that states the record date, the
payment date and the amount of interest to be paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner. 

Section 2.14.    Global Securities. (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. 

  
 - 13 - 

 (ii)    Except as provided in this Section 2.14(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. 
 (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 Section 2.14(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 2.14(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 2.14(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 2.14(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. 

  
 - 14 - 

 (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. 

(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 2.15.    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 
 REDEMPTION

 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). 

  
 - 15 - 

 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. 
 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 deliver a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed. 
 The notice shall identify the Securities of the
Series to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (a)    the redemption date; 

(b)    the redemption price; 

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

(d)    that Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the
redemption price; 
 (e)    that interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and
after the redemption date; and 
 (f)    any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series
or the Securities of a Series being redeemed. 
 At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall distribute the notice of
redemption prepared by the Company in the Company’s name and at its expense. 
 Section 3.04.    Effect of
Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is delivered as provided in Section 3.03, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not
be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date. 

  
 - 16 - 

 Section 3.05.    Deposit of Redemption Price. On or before the
redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date. 

Section 3.06.    Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the
Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security of the same Series and the same maturity equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. 

ARTICLE IV 
 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: 

(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 will furnish to the
Trustee, within 15 days after it files the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports that, if it is subject to the reporting requirements of either Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, it files with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d). If the Company is not required to file with the SEC information, documents or reports pursuant to either of those sections of the Exchange Act, then it will
furnish to the Trustee and file with the SEC such reports, if any, as may be prescribed by the SEC pursuant to the TIA at such time, in each case within 15 days after it files the same with the SEC. The Company also shall comply with the other
provisions of TIA Section 314(a). 

  
 - 17 - 

 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. 

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. 

  
 - 18 - 

 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 material taxes, assessments and governmental levies, except as contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders. 

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. So long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, upon
request of the Trustee, but without an affirmative duty on the Trustee to do so, 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.

lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor person has been named as the Company

principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities. 
 ARTICLE VI 

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); or 

(b)    default in the payment of any principal of any Security of that Series at its Maturity; or 

(c)    default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due in respect of any Security of that Series; or

 (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; 

  
 - 20 - 

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

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

(iii)    consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or 

(iv)    makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or 

(v)    or generally is unable to pay its debts as the same become due; or 

  
 - 21 - 

 (h)    a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any
Bankruptcy Law that: 
 (i)    is for relief against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or
proceeding; 
 (ii)    appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or substantially all of
the property of the Company or any such Subsidiary; or 
 (iii)    orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries; 
 and in the case of each of clause (i), (ii) and (iii), the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for
[    ] consecutive days; or 
 (i)    any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities
of that Series, which is specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.02(i). 

A default under clause (d) above is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least
[    ]% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee, in writing of the default, and the Company does not cure the default within 60 days after receipt of such notice. The
notice given pursuant to this Section 6.01 must specify the default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default”. When any default under this Section 6.01 is cured, it ceases. 

The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to a Trust Officer
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee by the Company, a Paying Agent, any Holder or any agent of any Holder. 

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 (or, if any Securities of that Series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) 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 

  
 - 22 - 

 
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. 
 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. 

  
 - 23 - 

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

  
 - 24 - 

 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 the Securities or any related coupon, 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. 

  
 - 25 - 

 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. Subject to Section 9.02,
the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such Series waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such Series and its
consequences, except a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may
rescind an acceleration and 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. 

  
 - 26 - 

 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). 
 ARTICLE VII 

TRUSTEE 

Section 7.01.    Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 

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

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

on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such
Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture. 

(c)    The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to
act or willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i)    This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of
Section 7.01 herein. 
 (ii)    The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer. 

  
 - 27 - 

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

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

(g)    No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk or expend its own funds or otherwise incur
liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against
such risk is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (h)    The Paying Agent, the Registrar and any authenticating agent shall
be entitled to the same rights, indemnities, protections and immunities afforded to the Trustee. 
 (i)    The Trustee
shall have no duty to monitor the performance or compliance of the Company with its obligations hereunder or any under supplement hereto, nor shall it have any liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by the Company. The Trustee
shall have no liability in connection with compliance by the Company with statutory or regulatory requirements related to this Indenture, any supplement or any Securities issued pursuant hereto or thereto. 

Section 7.02.    Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected
in acting or refraining from acting as a result of its reasonable 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 investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it sees fit.

 (b)    Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of
Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 

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

  
 - 28 - 

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

 (f)    The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by or pursuant
to this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Securities, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
might be incurred by 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 Company or an Affiliate with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the
same with like rights. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

Section 7.04.    Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy
of this Indenture or the Securities and the recitals contained herein and in the Securities shall be taken as statements of the Company and not of the Trustee, and the Trustee has no responsibility for such recitals. The Trustee shall not be
accountable for the Company’s use or application of the proceeds from the Securities or for monies paid over to the Company pursuant to this Indenture, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its
authentication. 
 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. 

  
 - 29 - 

 Section 7.07.    Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall
pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as shall be agreed upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse
the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation
and expenses of the Trustee’s agents, counsel and other persons not regularly in its employ. 
 The Company shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, from and against and reimburse the Trustee for any and all claims, expenses, obligations, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries (to person, property, or
natural resources), penalties, stamp or other similar taxes, actions, suits, judgments, reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s and agent’s fees and expenses) of whatever kind or nature regardless of their merit,
demanded, asserted or claimed against the Trustee directly or indirectly relating to, or arising from, claims against the Trustee by reason of its participation in the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation all reasonable
costs required to be associated with claims for damages to persons or property, and reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and court costs except to the extent caused by the Trustee’s negligence or willful
misconduct. The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. The Company shall defend any claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee
may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. This
indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee. 
 The Company need not reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through negligence or bad faith. 

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

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

Section 7.08.    Replacement of Trustee. 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. 

  
 - 30 - 

 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 

(d)    the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

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

 If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take office within [    ]
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.

Trustee receives written demand from the Company to discharge. 

  
 - 32 - 

 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company
to the Trustee under Section 7.07, and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Sections 2.04, 2.07, 2.08, 8.01, 8.02 and 8.05 shall survive.

payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee or to make mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments as contemplated by Sections 8.03 or 8.04. 

(b)    The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee and the Agents against any tax, fee or other charge imposed

a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants, expressed in a written certification thereof and delivered to the Trustee together with such Company Request, are then in excess of the amount thereof which then would have
been required to be deposited for the purpose for which such U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations or money were deposited or received. This provision shall not authorize the sale by the Trustee of any U.S. Government
Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations held under this Indenture. 
 Section 8.03.    Legal Defeasance of
Securities of any Series. Unless this Section 8.03 is otherwise specified, pursuant to Section 2.02(s), to be inapplicable to Securities of any Series, the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on

a Foreign Currency (other than a composite currency), money and/or Foreign Government Obligations, which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof, in accordance with their terms, will provide (and without reinvestment and
assuming no tax liability will be imposed on such Paying Agent), not later than [    ] day before the due date of any payment of money, an amount in cash, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, to pay and discharge each installment of principal (including mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments) of and interest, if any, on
all the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments of interest or principal are due;

law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such
deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred; 

(h)    the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made

 ARTICLE IX 

AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS 

Section 9.01.    Without Consent of Holders. Subject to Section 9.02 and Section 9.03, the Company
and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series without the consent of any Securityholder: 

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

(b)    to comply with Article V; 

(c)    to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; 

(d)    to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder; 

(e)    to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Securities of any Series as
permitted by this Indenture; 
 (f)    to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
Trustee; 
 (g)    to comply with requirements of the TIA and any rules promulgated under the TIA; and 

  
 - 36 - 

 (h)    to add to the covenants of the Company for the equal and ratable
benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right, power or option conferred upon the Company. 
 Any amendment or supplement made solely to
conform the provisions of this Indenture or the Securities of any Series to the description thereof contained in the final prospectus relating to such Series will be deemed not to adversely affect the rights of any Holder. 

Section 9.02.    With Consent of Holders. Subject to Section 9.03, 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 deliver to the Holders of Securities affected thereby a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to deliver 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; 

  
 - 37 - 

 (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; 
 (j)    change the
ranking of the Securities; or 
 (k)    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. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, any amendment or waiver
shall always be subject to the consent of the Company. 
 Section 9.04.    Compliance with TIA. 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.

  
 - 38 - 

 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 Officers’ 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 10.10.    Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in
any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

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

Section 10.12.    No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not be used to interpret
another indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Company or a Subsidiary. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.

of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof, and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

 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 

  
 - 43 - 

 
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. 

ARTICLE XI 
 SINKING
FUNDS 
 Section 11.01.    Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be
applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series, except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this Indenture. 

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a
“mandatory sinking fund payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series,
the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the securities of
such Series. 
 Section 11.02.    Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The Company may, in
satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is
applicable (other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been redeemed either at the
election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of
such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Registrar, together with an Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto, not later than
[    ] days prior to the date on which the Registrar begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Registrar at the price specified in such Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of 

  
 - 44 - 

 
Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.02, the principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be
less than $[    ], the Registrar need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Paying Agent and applied to the
next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided, however, that the Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Paying Agent upon
delivery by the Company to the Registrar of Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Company. 

Section 11.03.    Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than [    ] days
(unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate in respect of a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company will
deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be
satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 11.02, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing
mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than [    ] days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or
supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in
Section 3.02 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.03. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be
made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06.

AMENDED AND RESTATED
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of the 24th day of October, 1997, by and between Casey's General Stores, Inc., an Iowa corporation (the "Company"), and Donald F. Lamberti ("Lamberti").

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") recognizes that the dedication of Lamberti as an officer and director to the affairs and welfare of the Company since its organization has resulted in a long and successful association; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors further recognizes that the Company has grown and prospered as a result of its association with Lamberti, and has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to preserve this association so as to enable the Company to further benefit from Lamberti's superior knowledge and expertise in all of its present and future business endeavors; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Lamberti are parties to an Employment Agreement dated as of March 2, 1992, as amended by a First Amendment to Employment Agreement dated as of January 16, 1997 (together, the "Original Agreement"), providing for the employment of Lamberti to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company under the terms and conditions set forth therein; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has further determined that it is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to modify the existing contractual arrangements with respect to Lamberti's employment by the Company, with the concurrence of Lamberti, and to amend and restate the Original Agreement to reflect the same; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has further determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of Lamberti, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company, and to further encourage Lamberti's full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and to provide Lamberti with compensation arrangements upon a Change of Control which provide him with compensation for expected losses that he would suffer in the event of a Change of Control and which are 

1

competitive with those of other corporations, and, in order to accomplish these objectives, has determined to cause the Company to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.    Certain Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement, and in addition to the other definitions set forth herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

a)    "Change of Control" shall mean:

		
	(i)
	the acquisition (other than from the Company) by any Person (as hereinafter defined), entity or "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), (excluding for this purpose, the Company or any employee benefit plan of the Company, which acquires beneficial ownership of voting securities of the Company) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of either the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, no par value, of the Company or the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (hereinafter referred to as the "Common Stock"), unless such beneficial ownership was acquired as a result of an acquisition of shares of Common Stock by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such Person, entity or "group" to twenty percent (20%) or more of the Common Stock of the Company then outstanding; provided, however, that if a Person, entity or "group" shall become the beneficial owner of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Common Stock of the Company then outstanding by reason of share purchases by the Company and shall, after such share purchases by the Company, become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Common Stock of the Company, then such Person, entity or "group" shall be deemed to have met the conditions hereof; or

		
	(ii)
	individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board of Directors (as of the date hereof, the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date 

2

hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (other than an election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of the directors of the Company, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) shall be, for purposes of this Agreement considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or 

		
	(iii)
	approval by the shareholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger, consolidation (in each case, with respect to which persons who were the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the reorganized, merged or consolidated company's then outstanding voting securities) or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.  

(b)    "Annual Increase" shall take effect on each January 1 for which the benefit at issue is payable and shall mean fifty percent (50%) of the annual increase in the National Consumer Price Index for the City of Des Moines, Iowa, as published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.  

(c)    "Annual Bonus" shall mean any bonus payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, on such terms and in such amounts as it shall determine.  

(d)    "Employment Period" shall mean the term of Lamberti's employment under this Agreement, as set forth in Section 2 hereof.  

(e)    "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  

(f)    "Accrued Obligations" shall mean (i) Lamberti's Salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect on the Date of Termination, (ii) the product of the Annual Bonus paid to Lamberti for the last full fiscal year and a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365 and (iii) any compensation previously deferred (together 

3

with any accrued interest thereon) and not yet paid by the Company and any accrued vacation pay not yet paid by the Company.  

(g)    "Person" shall mean any individual, firm, corporation or other entity, and shall include any successor (by merger or otherwise) and all "affiliates" and "associates" of such entity (as those terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act).

2.    Employment and Term.  The Company agrees to employ Lamberti, and Lamberti agrees to serve the Company, as Chief Executive Officer of the Company on the terms and under the conditions set forth in this Agreement.  The initial term of employment under this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall terminate on April 30, 1998 (the "Initial Term"), after which this Agreement and the Employment Period hereunder shall be automatically renewed and extended for successive periods of three years (each of which shall be a "Renewal Term"), subject to the right of the Company and Lamberti to terminate this Agreement during the Initial Term or any such Renewal Term in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in subsequent sections of this Agreement, and further subject to the right of the Company and Lamberti to cause this Agreement and the Employment Period hereunder to expire at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term by giving written notice thereof at least one year prior to the end of the Initial Term or the then current Renewal Term, as applicable; provided, however, that in the event of a Change of Control during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, this Agreement and the Employment Period hereunder automatically shall continue in full force and effect for the greater of (i) the remaining term of employment then in progress or (ii) three years from the effective date of the Change of Control.  References herein to the Employment Period shall refer to both the Initial Term and any successive Renewal Term.  

3.    Duties of Lamberti.  During the period of his employment in the capacity of Chief Executive Officer, Lamberti will perform his duties to the best of his ability, subject to the control of the Board of Directors.  It is agreed and understood that the position (including status, office, title and reporting requirements), authority, duties and responsibilities of Lamberti shall be substantially the same as those performed by Lamberti as Chief Executive Officer of the Company prior to the date of this Agreement, and that Lamberti shall at all times serve the best interests of the Company.  The Company agrees that Lamberti shall at all times have such authority and discretion as is required in the carrying out of Lamberti's duties in a proper and efficient manner, subject to review by the Board of Directors.

During the period of his employment, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for Lamberti to (i) serve on corporate, civil or charitable boards or committees, (ii) 

4

deliver lectures or fulfill speaking engagements and (iii) manage personal investments, so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of Lamberti's responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this Agreement.  It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that any such activities have been conducted by Lamberti prior to the date hereof, the continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of activities similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to the date hereof shall not thereafter be deemed to interfere with the performance of Lamberti's responsibilities to the Company.

4.    Compensation.  The Company shall pay to Lamberti an annual salary of Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000), payable in equal monthly installments, or such other amount as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and Lamberti (the "Salary").  In addition, Lamberti and/or Lamberti's family shall be entitled to receive all benefits presently provided or those which may hereafter be generally provided by the Company to its employees, officers or directors, including health insurance and life insurance.  With respect to such health insurance benefits, the Company agrees that at all times the health insurance coverages available to Lamberti and his spouse under such plans shall include provisions providing for lifetime benefits payable on behalf of Lamberti and his spouse of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) each, or such other amount as the Company and Lamberti may specifically agree upon in writing, subject, however, to any limitations, restrictions or conditions that shall from time to time be necessary to satisfy the requirements of applicable federal or state laws and regulations.

5.    Termination of Employment.  (a) Death or Disability.  Lamberti's employment under this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon Lamberti's death.  If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of Lamberti has occurred (pursuant to the definition of "Disability" set forth below), it may give to Lamberti written notice of its intention to terminate Lamberti's employment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  In such event, Lamberti's employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the thirtieth (30th) day after receipt of such notice by Lamberti (the "Disability Effective Date"), provided that, within the thirty (30) days after such receipt, Lamberti shall not have returned to full-time performance of his duties.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" means disability or incapacity of Lamberti which, at least twenty-six (26) weeks after its commencement, is determined by the Board of Directors upon competent medical advice to be such as to prevent Lamberti from performing substantially all of the duties of Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

(b)    Cause.  The Company may terminate Lamberti's employment for "Cause."  For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means (i) an act or acts of personal dishonesty taken by Lamberti and intended to result in substantial personal enrichment of Lamberti 

5

at the expense of the Company, (ii) repeated violations by Lamberti of Lamberti's obligations under Section 3 of this Agreement which are demonstrably willful and deliberate on Lamberti's part and which are not remedied in a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from the Company or (iii) the conviction of Lamberti of a felony when such conviction is no longer subject to direct appeal.

(c)    Good Reason.  Lamberti's employment may be terminated by Lamberti for Good Reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means:

(i)    the assignment to Lamberti of any duties inconsistent in any respect with Lamberti's position (including status, office, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 3 of this Agreement, or any other action by the Company which results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Lamberti;

(ii)    Any failure by the Company to comply with the provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Lamberti; 

(iii)    the Company's requiring Lamberti to be based at any office or location other than the Company's Corporate Headquarters facility in Ankeny, Iowa, except for travel reasonably required in the performance of Lamberti's responsibilities;

(iv)    any purported termination by the Company of Lamberti's employment otherwise than for death, Disability or Cause as expressly permitted by this Agreement; or

(v)    any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 13(c) of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section 5(c), any good faith determination of "Good Reason" made by Lamberti shall be conclusive. 

(d)    Notice of Termination.  Any termination by the Company for Cause or by Lamberti for Good Reason shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 14(b) of this Agreement.  For purposes of 

6

this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Lamberti's employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice).  The failure of Lamberti to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason shall not waive any right of Lamberti hereunder or preclude Lamberti from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing his rights hereunder.

(e)    Date of Termination.  "Date of Termination" means the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) if Lamberti's employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company notifies Lamberti of such termination and (ii) if Lamberti's employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of Lamberti or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be.

6.    Obligations of the Company upon Termination of Employment. 

(a)  Death of Lamberti.  In the event of the death of Lamberti during the term hereof, the Company shall pay to Lamberti's spouse, commencing on the first day of the month following his death and continuing for a period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter, benefits equal to the monthly installments of Salary which was then being paid to Lamberti pursuant to Section 4 herein.  Immediately following such two-year period, the Company shall commence the payment of monthly benefits to Lamberti's spouse equal in amount to one-fourth (1/4) of the monthly installments of Salary which was being paid to Lamberti at the time of his death under Section 4 herein, which monthly benefits shall be paid for a period of twenty (20) years or until the death of Lamberti's spouse, whichever occurs first.  In addition, the Company shall continue at all times to offer and provide health insurance coverage to Lamberti's spouse, in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies provided by the Company under the terms of this Agreement at the time of Lamberti's death, until the death of Lamberti's spouse, except to the extent such coverage is or otherwise becomes available to Lamberti's spouse under the Medicare program of benefits.

(b)    Disability of Lamberti.  If Lamberti's employment is terminated by reason of the Disability of Lamberti, Lamberti's employment under this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Lamberti, other than those obligations accrued or earned and vested (if applicable) by Lamberti as of the Date of Termination, including for 

7

this purpose, all Accrued Obligations and those set forth herein.  All such Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Lamberti in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Lamberti shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date to receive disability and other benefits in an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of his Salary (adjusted on an annual basis by the amount of the Annual Increase), which shall be payable in equal monthly installments until the close of the calendar year during which Lamberti attains sixty-five (65) years of age or until the last day of the month in which Lamberti is no longer deemed disabled pursuant to this Agreement, or until Lamberti's death, whichever shall first occur.

If Lamberti shall receive any disability payments from any insurance policies paid for by the Company, the payments to Lamberti pursuant to this provision shall be reduced by the amount of disability payments received by Lamberti under any such insurance policy or policies.

If, following the termination of Lamberti's employment by reason of Disability, the Board of Directors determines, upon competent medical advice, that Lamberti has recovered from said Disability to the point where he is no longer prevented by said Disability from performing substantially all of the duties as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Company shall give Lamberti not less than thirty (30) days written notice of its election to cease the payment of Disability benefits to him pursuant to this Section 6(b), following which (i) the Company shall have no further obligations to Lamberti to make said Disability payments as provided herein and (ii) Lamberti thereafter shall be entitled to retire and terminate his employment with the Company, without further action or notice on his part, and to receive the benefits payable under the Non-Qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan of the Company (the "SERP") (or any successor plan), as and to the extent set forth therein, and shall hold himself available to the Board of Directors for consultation as provided in Section 10 hereof.

Notwithstanding any Disability on the part of Lamberti, the Company shall continue at all times to offer and provide health insurance coverages to Lamberti and his spouse, in accordance with the most favorable plans, programs, practices and policies provided by the Company during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Disability Effective Date or, if more favorable to Lamberti, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other key employees and their families, until the death of Lamberti and his spouse, except to the extent such coverage is or otherwise becomes available to Lamberti and his spouse under the Medicare program of benefits.

(c)    Cause; Other than for Good Reason.  If Lamberti's employment shall be terminated for Cause, Lamberti's employment under this Agreement shall terminate 

8

without further obligations to Lamberti (other than the obligation to pay to Lamberti his Salary through the Date of Termination plus the amount of any compensation previously deferred by Lamberti, together with accrued interest thereon).  If Lamberti terminates employment other than for Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Lamberti, other than those obligations accrued or earned and vested (if applicable) by Lamberti through the Date of Termination, including for this purpose, all Accrued Obligations.  All such Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Lamberti in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination.

(d)    Good Reason; Other than for Cause or Disability.  If the Company shall terminate Lamberti's employment other than for Cause, Disability, or death or if Lamberti shall terminate his employment for Good Reason at any time during the Employment Period, except during a three-year period following any Change of Control (in which case the provisions of Section 6(e) shall apply), then in such event:

(i)    the Company shall pay to Lamberti in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination the aggregate of the following amounts:

A.    to the extent not theretofore paid, Lamberti's Salary through the Date of Termination; and

B.    the product of (x) the highest Annual Bonus paid to Lamberti during the three (3) fiscal years preceding the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs (the "Recent Bonus") and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365; and

C.    the product of (x) two (2.0) and (y) the sum of (i) the Salary and (ii) the Recent Bonus; and

D.    in the case of compensation previously deferred by Lamberti, all amounts previously deferred (together with any accrued interest thereon) and not yet paid by the Company, and any accrued vacation pay not yet paid by the Company; and

(ii)    for a two-year period following the Date of Termination, the Company shall continue benefits to Lamberti and/or Lamberti's family at least equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies provided under this Agreement if Lamberti's employment had not been terminated, including health insurance and 

9

life insurance, in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or policies provided by the Company and its subsidiaries during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to Lamberti, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other key employees and their families.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Company shall continue at all times to offer and provide the above-described health insurance coverages to Lamberti and his spouse until their respective dates of death, except to the extent such coverage is or otherwise becomes available to Lamberti and his spouse under the Medicare program of benefits.

(e)    Good Reason; Other than for Cause or Disability, following a Change of Control.  If, during a three year period following any Change of Control, the Company shall terminate Lamberti's employment other than for Cause, Disability, or death or if Lamberti shall terminate his employment for Good Reason:

(i)    the Company shall pay to Lamberti in a lump sum in cash on the thirtieth (30th) day following the Date of Termination the aggregate of the following amounts:

A.    to the extent not theretofore paid, Lamberti's Salary through the Date of Termination; and

B.    the product of (x) the Recent Bonus and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365; and

C.    the product of (x) three (3.0) and (y) the sum of (i) the Salary and (ii) the Recent Bonus; and

D.    in the case of compensation previously deferred by Lamberti, all amounts previously deferred (together with any accrued interest thereon) and not yet paid by the Company, and any accrued vacation pay not yet paid by the Company; and

(ii)    for a three-year period following the Date of Termination, the Company shall continue benefits to Lamberti and/or Lamberti's family at least equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies provided under this Agreement if Lamberti's employment had not been terminated, including health insurance and life insurance, in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or 

10

policies provided by  the Company and its subsidiaries during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to Lamberti, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other key employees and their families.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Company shall continue at all times to offer and provide the above-described health insurance coverages to Lamberti and his spouse until their respective dates of death, except to the extent such coverage is or otherwise becomes available to Lamberti and his spouse under the Medicare program of benefits.

(f)    Alternative Excise Tax Cap.   Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(e) hereof, if any payments or benefits received or to be received by Lamberti (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a Change of Control or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) constitute "parachute payments"  within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code and the value thereof exceeds 2.99 times Lamberti's "base amount," as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, then, in lieu thereof, the Company shall pay to Lamberti, as soon as practicable following the Date of Termination but in no event later than thirty (30) days thereafter, a lump sum cash payment equal to 2.99 times his "base amount" (the "Alternative Severance Payment"), reduced as provided below.  The value of the payments to be made under Section 6(e) and Lamberti's base amount shall be determined in accordance with temporary or final regulations, if any, promulgated under Section 280G of the Code and based upon the advice of the tax counsel referred to below.

The Alternative Severance Payment shall be reduced by the amount of any other payment or the value of any benefit received or to be received by Lamberti in connection with a Change of Control of the Company or his termination of employment unless (i) Lamberti shall have effectively waived his receipt or enjoyment of such payment or benefit prior to the date of payment of the Alternative Severance Payment, (ii) in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company's independent auditors, such other payment or benefit does not constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, or (iii) in the opinion of such tax counsel, the Alternative Severance Payment plus all other payments or benefits which constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code are reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code or are otherwise not subject to disallowance as a deduction by reason of Section 280G of the Code.  The value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined in accordance with the principles of Section 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

11

(g)    Section 162(m) Limitation.   In the event that the payments due to Lamberti under this Section 6 exceed the "reasonable compensation" limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code, that portion thereof that would not be deductible by the Company in the taxable year in which the payment is due shall be deferred by the Company and paid to Lamberti on the date that is sixteen (16) months following the Date of Termination, together with interest thereon at the rate provided in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

7.    Non-exclusivity of Rights.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Lamberti's continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plans, programs, policies or practices, provided by the Company and for which Lamberti may qualify, including but not limited to the SERP, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as Lamberti may have under the SERP or any stock option or other agreements with the Company.  Amounts which are vested benefits or which Lamberti is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of the Company at or subsequent to the Date of Termination, including but not limited to the SERP, shall be payable in accordance with the SERP or such plan, policy, practice or program.

8.    Full Settlement.  The Company's obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against Lamberti or others.  In no event shall Lamberti be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Lamberti under any of the provisions of this Agreement, but such payments shall be reduced to the extent of Lamberti's other earned income (if any) during any remaining portion of the Employment Period.  Following any Change of Control, the Company agrees to pay, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which Lamberti may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company or others (including Lamberti) of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof, plus in each case interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

9.    Retirement of Lamberti.   It is understood that Lamberti shall retire on the last day of the calendar year during which he reaches sixty-five (65) years of age.  The Board of Directors of the Company, at its sole option, may offer to extend Lamberti's employment on a year-to-year basis after the calendar year in which Lamberti reaches age sixty-five (65).  At the conclusion of each year it will be presumed that Lamberti will retire unless the Board of Directors determines to offer to extend Lamberti's employment for an additional year.

12

Following the retirement of Lamberti, the Company shall continue at all times to offer and provide health insurance coverages to Lamberti and his spouse, in accordance with the most favorable plans, programs, practices and policies provided by the Company during the 90-day period immediately preceding the effective date of Lamberti's retirement or, if more favorable to Lamberti, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other key employees and their families, until the death of Lamberti and his spouse, except to the extent such coverage is or otherwise becomes available to Lamberti and his spouse under the Medicare program of benefits.

10.    Availability of Lamberti After Retirement.  Following his retirement, Lamberti shall at reasonable times and insofar as his physical condition may permit, hold himself available at the written request of the Board of Directors of the Company to consult with and advise the officers, directors, and other representatives of the Company.  Such requests for Lamberti's service shall, however, be structured so that reasonable allowances are made for Lamberti's needs for vacation time and for other considerations of his physical well-being.  All such services shall be provided by Lamberti at his place of residence unless otherwise agreed to by Lamberti.  Lamberti shall not be required to devote any prescribed hours to consulting with and giving advice to the officers, directors, and other representatives of the Company in order to be entitled to the retirement benefits as set out in the SERP, but all such benefits shall be considered as earned in return for the consulting service and advice that Lamberti may give from time to time to the Company, its officers, directors, and other representatives.

If Lamberti's physical condition shall prevent him from consulting and advising with the officers, directors or other representatives of the Company, the retirement benefits provided under the SERP shall nonetheless be paid as therein provided.

Lamberti shall be reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable expenses incurred as a consultant and advisor, including expenses for travel, communication, entertainment and similar items, upon presentation of itemized accounts of such expenditures.

11.    Discretion of Board of Directors.  Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing stated herein is intended to, nor shall it be construed, to abrogate, limit, alter or affect the authority, rights and privileges of the Board of Directors of the Company to remove Lamberti as Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of the Company, without Cause, or during the term of this Agreement to elect as Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company a person other than Lamberti, as provided by the laws of the State of Iowa; provided, however, it is expressly agreed and understood that, in the event any one or any combination of such events occurs, unless Lamberti is terminated for Cause as defined in 

13

Section 5(b) hereof, Lamberti may terminate his employment for Good Reason, in which case the Company shall pay Lamberti the benefits described in either Section 6(d) or Section 6(e) of this Agreement, as applicable, in consideration thereof.

12.    Confidential Information; Restrictive Covenant.   (a) During the period of his employment, Lamberti shall hold in  fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by Lamberti during Lamberti's employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by Lamberti or his representatives in violation of this Agreement).  During a three (3) year period following termination of Lamberti's employment with the Company, Lamberti shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it.  

(b)    While this Agreement remains in effect and Lamberti is entitled to compensation or benefits pursuant to Sections 4 through 6 hereof (or, in the event of termination of his employment for Good Reason, for a period of three (3) years thereafter), Lamberti shall not directly or indirectly associate with, participate in or render service to, whether as an employee, officer, director, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, any organization that is engaged in business in competition with the Company, and he shall not himself engage in any such business on his own account.

(c)    In the event of a demonstrated breach of this Section 12, the parties agree that the Company shall be entitled to seek equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any anticipated continuing breach of the terms and conditions of this Section 12 and to secure the enforcement thereof.  The foregoing remedy shall be exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy otherwise available to the Company under law.

13.    Successors. (a) This Agreement is personal to Lamberti and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by Lamberti otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lamberti's legal representatives.

(b)    This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

(c)    The Company agrees and covenants to require (i) any successor or assignee (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company through a Change of 

14

Control or otherwise, and, (ii) within its lawful power to do so, any party effecting or taking steps to accomplish a Change of Control, to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or Change of Control had taken place.  As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.

14.    Miscellaneous.  (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.  The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

(b)    All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by hand delivery to the other party or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:  If the Company, to Casey's General Stores, Inc., P. O. Box 3001, One Convenience Blvd., Ankeny, Iowa 50021, Attention:  President; and if to Lamberti, to his address appearing on the books of the Company, or to his residence, or to such other address as either party shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith.  Notice and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee.

(c)    The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

(d)    The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state or local taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

(e)    The Company's or Lamberti's failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or any other provision thereof.

(f)    This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Company and Lamberti with respect to the subject matter hereof.  The Original Agreement between Lamberti and the Company, as defined in the preambles hereof, is hereby terminated and shall be of no further force or effect.

15

(g)    No change, amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same be in writing and signed by the Company and Lamberti.

(h)    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument with the same force and effect as if all the parties had executed the same document.

16

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the respective parties have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the day and year first above written.
