This Settlement and Standstill Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated November 22, 2017, is entered into by and between Rockwell Medical, Inc. (“Rockwell” or the “Company”), on the one hand, and the persons identified on Appendix A as the “Richmond Group” and the “Ravich Group,” on the other.

 

WHEREAS, the Company has filed an action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan styled as Rockwell Medical, Inc. v. Richmond Brothers, Inc., et al., Case No. 17-cv-10757 (the “Litigation”), which names the Richmond Group and the Ravich Group as defendants;

 

WHEREAS, in the Litigation, Mark H. Ravich (“Ravich”) has asserted counterclaims against the Company and certain other third-party relief defendants;

 

WHEREAS, Rockwell and the Richmond Group and the Ravich Group desire to resolve the claims in the Litigation;

 

WHEREAS, certain members of the Richmond Group and the Ravich Group nominated Ravich to be elected to Rockwell’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at its Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 1, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Meeting”), at which time Ravich was elected to the Board in opposition to Rockwell’s candidate;

 

WHEREAS, the Richmond Group and the Ravich Group entered into a Joint Filing Agreement dated August 25, 2017 (the “Shareholder Group Agreement”), wherein they agreed, among other things, to seek to elect new directors to the Board at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company (the “2018 Annual Meeting”);

 

WHEREAS, for the duration of the Covered Period (as defined below), and subject to certain carve-outs described herein, the Richmond Group and the Ravich Group have agreed to support the recommendations and nominations of the Company in connection with any meeting of shareholders, including the 2018 Annual Meeting, and to terminate the Shareholder Group Agreement;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Release.

This release is intended to forever discharge, compromise and waive any Ravich Group Released Claim, known or unknown, based on any matter, cause or thing occurring prior to the date of this Agreement.

 

d.                                      The parties agree that within three (3) business days of the execution of this Agreement, they will jointly submit to the court a stipulation seeking to voluntarily dismiss the Litigation in its entirety and with prejudice.

 

e.                                       Nothing in this Agreement is intended or should be construed to release, waive, compromise or discharge any obligation of the parties to this Agreement to perform pursuant to this Agreement.

 

2.                                      Reimbursement of Expenses.

 

The Company agrees to reimburse the Richmond Group and the Ravich Group for their bona fide and reasonably documented, third-party expenses (not including any success fees or bonuses) as actually incurred in connection with the Litigation and/or the proxy contest by the Richmond Group and the Ravich Group related to the 2017 Annual Meeting, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $895,000.00. The Company agrees to remit such reimbursement within five (5) business days of receiving the request therefor.

 

3.                                      Voting and Standstill.

 

a.                                      Subject to paragraph 4.a. of this Agreement, for the period beginning from the date of this Agreement through and including the earlier to occur of December 31, 2018 or thirty (30) days prior to the deadline established pursuant to Rockwell’s Bylaws for the submission of shareholder nominations for directors at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company (the “Covered Period”), both the Richmond Group and the Ravich Group agree to cause any securities of the Company or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any such securities (collectively, “securities of the Company”), that any of them beneficially owns, directly or indirectly,

 

2

 

to be present for quorum purposes and to be voted at any meeting of shareholders (including the 2018 Annual Meeting), including any adjournments or postponements thereof, and to consent in connection with any action by consent in lieu of a meeting, as follows: (i) in favor of each director nominated and recommended by the Board for election at such meeting; (ii) against any proposals or resolutions to remove any member of the Board (unless supported by the Board); and (iii) in accordance with the Board’s recommendations for each and every other proposal by the Board subject to a shareholder vote at such meeting (subject to the carve-outs set forth in subparagraphs 3.c. and 3.e., below);

 

b.                                      During the Covered Period, to the extent that Richmond Brothers, Inc. (“RBI”) and/or David S. Richmond (“Richmond”) do not have the legal authority to vote any of the securities of the Company owned by the clients of RBI, both RBI and Richmond agree that they will recommend to those clients of RBI that they vote such securities of the Company in a manner consistent with the Board on all items subject to a· shareholder vote, including at the 2018 Annual Meeting; provided, however, that the obligations of this subparagraph are subject to the same carve-outs set forth in subparagraphs 3.c. and 3.e., below;

 

c.                                       Notwithstanding the provisions in subparagraph 3.a.(iii), above, in the event that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) and Glass, Lewis & Co. (“Glass Lewis”) recommend otherwise with respect to any proposals (other than the election or removal of directors or a plan for equity-based compensation that is an Independent Director Approved Plan, as defined below), the Richmond Group and the Ravich Group shall be permitted to vote in accordance with the ISS and Glass Lewis recommendation; provided, however, that the Ravich Group shall be permitted to vote contrary to the Board’s recommendation pursuant to this subparagraph only to the extent that Ravich voted contrary to the Board’s recommendation during a Board meeting regarding the same issue;

 

d.                                      For purposes of subparagraph 3.c., above, an equity compensation plan shall be deemed to be an “Independent Director Approved Plan” if it: (i) is approved by a majority of the independent directors; (ii) does not contain an “evergreen” provision; (iii) limits the number of shares granted in any calendar year to less than three percent (3%) of the outstanding common stock of the Company; and (iv) includes common stock representing no more than six percent (6%) of the outstanding common stock of the Company on a pro forma basis; provided further that the Company agrees that any award grants issued pursuant to an Independent Director Approved Plan must be approved by a majority of the Board;

 

e.                                       Notwithstanding the provisions in subparagraph 3.a.(iii), above, the Richmond Group and the Ravich Group shall be permitted to vote in their sole discretion with respect to any publicly announced proposals relating to a merger, acquisition, disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Rockwell or other business combination involving Rockwell requiring a vote of shareholders of Rockwell;

f.                                        During the Covered Period (unless specifically otherwise requested in writing by the Company, acting through a resolution of a majority of the Company’s directors), the Richmond Group and the Ravich Group shall not, directly or indirectly, in any manner, alone or in concert with others:

 

i.                                         make, engage in, or in any way participate in, directly or indirectly, any “solicitation” of ‘‘proxies” (as such terms are defined in or used under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Regulation 14A thereunder) or consents to vote, or seek to advise, encourage or influence (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by encouraging or participating in any “withhold” or similar campaign) any person with respect to the voting of any securities of the Company with respect to the election or removal of directors or shareholder proposals, or become a ‘‘participant” (as such term is defined in or used under the Exchange Act and Regulation 14A thereunder) in any contested solicitation for the election of directors with respect to the Company (other than a solicitation or acting as a participant in support of all of the nominees of the Board at any shareholder meeting) or make, be the proponent of or cause any person to initiate any shareholder proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, the Company’s Bylaws or otherwise;

 

ii.                                      form, join, encourage, influence, advise or in any way participate in any group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act) with any person with respect to any securities of the Company (except that (i) the members of the Richmond Group may be a group solely with the other members of the Richmond Group and their affiliates and associates and (ii) the members of the Ravich Group may be a group solely with the other members of the Ravich Group and their affiliates and associates) or otherwise in any manner agree, attempt, seek or propose to deposit any securities of the Company in any voting trust or similar arrangement, or subject any securities of the Company to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting thereof;

 

iii.                                   consciously work in parallel, or otherwise participate in a joint activity or course of action, with any person (other than the Company or any of its officers or directors) toward acquiring control or otherwise exercising a controlling influence over the management and policies of the Company, whether or not pursuant to an express agreement;

 

iv.                                  effect or seek to effect, offer or propose to effect, cause or participate in, or in any way assist or facilitate any other person to effect or seek, offer or propose to effect or participate in, any tender or exchange offer, merger, consolidation, acquisition, scheme, arrangement, business combination, recapitalization, reorganization, sale or acquisition of assets, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective securities (each, an “Extraordinary Transaction”), or make any public statement with respect to an Extraordinary Transaction; provided, however, that this clause shall not preclude the tender by the Richmond Group or the Ravich Group of any securities of the Company into

 

4

 

any tender or exchange offer, or vote with respect to any Extraordinary  Transaction in their sole discretion;

 

v.                                     (i) call, seek to call or request the call of any meeting of shareholders, including by written consent, (ii) seek representation on, or nominate any candidate to, the Board (other than in accordance with subparagraph 4.a. of this Agreement), (iii) seek the removal of any member of the Board, (iv) solicit consents from shareholders or otherwise act or seek to act by written consent, (v) conduct a referendum of shareholders, or (vi) make a request for any shareholder list or other books and records of the Company, whether pursuant to state law, the Company’s Bylaws or otherwise (other than a request by Ravich in his capacity as a member of the Board);

 

vi.                                  initiate, encourage or participate in any litigation against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective directors or officers, or in any derivative litigation on behalf of the Company, except for (A) litigation to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, (B) counterclaims with respect to any proceeding initiated by, or on behalf of, the Company or its affiliates against the Richmond Group or the Ravich Group, and (C) the exercise of statutory appraisal rights; provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent any member of the Richmond Group or the Ravish Group from responding to or complying with a validly issued legal process;

 

vii.                               take any action in support of or make any proposal or request that constitutes: (A) advising, controlling, changing or influencing the Board or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors, the removal of any directors, or to fill any vacancies on the Board (other than in accordance with subparagraph 4.a. of this Agreement), (B) any material change in the capitalization, stock repurchase programs and practices or dividend of the Company, (C) any other material change in the Company’s management, business or corporate structure, (D) seeking to have the Company waive or make amendments or modifications to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or other actions that may impede or facilitate the acquisition of control of the Company by any person, (E) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from, or to cease to be authorized to be quoted on, any securities exchange, or (F) causing a class of securities of the Company to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act;

 

viii.                            purchase, on their behalf or on behalf of any of their clients or affiliates, any additional shares of Rockwell; provided that the foregoing shall not restrict (i) the Richmond Group from purchasing or acquiring beneficial ownership over up to twelve percent (12.0%) of the outstanding shares of common stock or (ii) the Ravich Group from purchasing or acquiring beneficial ownership over up to two percent (2.0%) of the outstanding shares of common stock;

 

5

 

ix.                                  make any request or submit any proposal to amend the terms of this Agreement other than through non-public communications with Rockwell that would not be reasonably determined to trigger public disclosure obligations for any party;

 

x.                                     make any public disclosure, announcement or statement regarding any intent, purpose, plan or proposal with respect to the Board, the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, the Company’s officers or directors, policies or affairs, any securities of the Company, the Company’s assets or this Agreement that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; or

 

xi.                                  make any public statements or speak “off the record” or “on background” with any member of the media regarding Rockwell (or its officers or directors) or make any private statements that are disparaging of Rockwell or its then or past executives, directors or affiliates; provided that the foregoing shall not restrict statements of support.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in subparagraph 3.f. or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Ravich from exercising his rights and fiduciary duties as a director of Rockwell, including, but not limited to, (1) taking any action or making any statement at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof or (2) making any statement to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or any other director or officer of Rockwell in his capacity as a director.

 

For purposes of this Agreement the terms ‘‘person” or ‘‘persons” shall mean any individual, corporation (including any not-for-profit corporation), general or limited partnership, limited liability or unlimited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization or other entity of any kind or nature.

 

4.                                      Board of Directors.

 

a.                                     After reasonably consulting with the Richmond Group, Rockwell will add one additional member to its Board by February 15, 2018. The individual selected as the additional director, or any other vacancy arising before the appointment of the additional director, must be approved by at least four (4) Board members; provided, however, in the event that the size of the Board is reduced to four (4) or fewer directors prior to February 15, 2018 due to the departure of two (2) or more incumbent directors, then any vacancy arising before the appointment of the additional director may be filled by an affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the additional director is not added to the Board by February 15, 2018, the Covered Period shall terminate on February 15, 2018 and, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Bylaws, the Richmond Group may nominate directors to the Board for the 2018 Annual Meeting by February 28, 2018 and such notice shall be deemed timely; provided further, however, that if no additional director is added to the Board by January 15, 2018, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Richmond Group from taking actions in furtherance of identifying director candidates in connection with the 2018 Annual Meeting so long as such actions do not

 

6

 

create a public disclosure obligation for the Richmond Group or Rockwell and are undertaken on a basis reasonably designed to be confidential.

 

b.                                     John G. Cooper or the additional director referenced in subparagraph 4.a., above, shall be named as Lead Independent Director no later than February 15, 2018.

 

c.                                      A new director (other than the current Chairperson) shall be named as Chairperson of the Governance and Nominating Committee no later than December 7, 2017.

 

d.                                     The Board shall not increase in size beyond seven (7) members during the Covered Period without the approval of at least four (4) Board members.

 

5.                                      Representations.

 

a.                                      The Company represents and warrants as follows: (a) the Company has the power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, constitutes a valid and binding obligation and agreement of the Company and is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except as enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws generally affecting the right of creditors and subject to general equity principles.

 

b.                                      The members of the Richmond Group and the Ravich Group represent and warrant as follows: (a) such parties have the power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by such parties, constitutes a valid and binding obligation and agreement of such parties and is enforceable against such parties in accordance with its terms except as enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws generally affecting the right of creditors and subject to general equity principles.

 

6.                                      Mutual Non-Disparagement.

 

a.                                      Subject to applicable law, each of the parties covenants and agrees that, during the Covered Period, or, if earlier, until such time as the other party or any of its agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, key employees or directors shall have breached this subparagraph 6.a., neither it nor any of its respective agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, key employees or directors, shall in any way publicly criticize, disparage, call into disrepute, or otherwise defame or slander the other parties or such other parties’ agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, key employees or directors, in any manner that would reasonably be expected to damage the business or reputation of such other parties, their businesses, products or services or that of their agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, key

 

7

 

employees or directors. Nothing in this subparagraph 6.a. shall limit the ability of any director of the Company to act in accordance with his or her fiduciary duties or otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

 

b.                                      Neither the Company nor the Richmond Group or the Ravich Group will issue a press release or public announcement regarding this Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) the Company may file a Form 8-K disclosing and attaching the Agreement; and, (ii) the Richmond Group and the Ravich Group may file an Amended Schedule 13D disclosing and attaching the Agreement.

 

7.                                      Specific Performance; Forum; Choice of Law.

 

The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that such damage would not be adequately compensable in monetary damages. Accordingly, the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement exclusively in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan located in Detroit, or the courts of the State of Michigan located in Wayne County (collectively, the “Michigan Courts”), in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity, and each party agrees it will not take any action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the party seeking relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto agrees to waive any bonding requirement under any applicable law, in the case any other party seeks to enforce the terms of this Agreement by way of equitable relief. Furthermore, each of the parties hereto irrevocably (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Michigan Courts in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from the Michigan Courts, (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Michigan Courts, (d) waives the right to trial by jury, and (e) consents to service of process by the United States Postal Service or a reputable overnight mail delivery service, in each case, signature requested, to the address set forth in paragraph 9 of this Agreement or as otherwise provided by applicable law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, EFFECT AND ENFORCEMENT, BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

8.                                      Entire Agreement; Amendment.

 

This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements, memoranda, arrangements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be amended only by an agreement in writing executed by the parties hereto, and no waiver of  compliance with any provision or condition of this Agreement and no consent provided for in

 

8

 

this Agreement shall be effective unless evidenced by a written instrument executed by the party against whom such waiver or consent is to be effective. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

 

9.                                      Notices.

 SECTION 1.03. Content and Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. 

Any Officer’s Certificate may be based (without further examination or investigation), insofar as it relates to or is dependent upon legal matters, upon
an opinion of, or representations by, counsel, and, insofar as it relates to or is dependent upon matters which are subject to verification by Accountants, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Accountant, unless, in any case,
such officer has actual knowledge that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such Officer’s Certificate may be based as aforesaid are erroneous. 

Any certificate of an Accountant may be based (without further examination or investigation), insofar as it relates to or is dependent upon legal matters,
upon an opinion of, or representations by, counsel, and insofar as it relates to or is dependent upon factual matters, information with respect to which is in the possession of the Company and which are not subject to verification by Accountants,
upon a certificate of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company, unless such Accountant has actual knowledge that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion may
be based as aforesaid are erroneous. 
 Any Opinion of Counsel may be based (without further examination or investigation), insofar as it relates to or is
dependent upon factual matters, information with respect to which is in the possession of the Company, upon a certificate of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company, and, insofar as it relates to or is dependent upon matters
which are subject to verification by Accountants upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Accountant, unless such counsel has actual knowledge that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon
which his opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous. In addition, any Opinion of Counsel may be based (without further examination or investigation), insofar as it relates to or is dependent upon matters covered in an Opinion of Counsel
rendered by other counsel, upon such other Opinion of Counsel, unless such counsel has actual knowledge that the Opinion of Counsel rendered by such other counsel with respect to the matters upon which his Opinion of Counsel may be based as
aforesaid are erroneous. If, in order to render any Opinion of Counsel provided for herein, the signer thereof shall deem it necessary that additional facts or matters be stated in any Officer’s Certificate or certificate of an Accountant
provided for herein, then such certificate may state all such additional facts or matters as the signer of such Opinion of Counsel may request. 
 In any
case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so
certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters
in one or several documents. Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated
and form one instrument. 

  
 15 

 Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate, Opinion
of Counsel or other document or instrument, a clerical, typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may be substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force
and effect as if originally filed in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the actual execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the
date or dates required with respect to the document or instrument for which it is substituted. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any such corrective document or instrument indicates that action has been taken by or at
the request of the Company which could not have been taken had the original document or instrument not contained such error or omission, the action so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be and remain in full
force and effect, except to the extent that such action was a result of willful misconduct or bad faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Bonds issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall
nevertheless be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the benefit of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Bonds, except as aforesaid. 

SECTION 1.04. Acts of Holders. 
 (a) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor
signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing or, alternatively, may be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting
of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article XIV, or a combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments and so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a
Bond, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 10.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders shall be proved
in the manner provided in Section 14.06. 
 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the
affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution
thereof or may be proved in any other manner which the Trustee and the Company deem sufficient. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. 
 (c) The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bonds held by any Person, and the date of holding the same,
shall be proved by the Bond Register. 

  
 16 

 (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act of a Holder
shall bind every future Holder of the same Bond and the Holder of every Bond issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or
the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Bond. 
 (e) Until such time as written instruments shall have been
delivered to the Trustee with respect to the requisite percentage of principal amount of Bonds for the action contemplated by such instruments, any such instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of a Holder may be revoked with respect to any
or all of such Bonds by written notice by such Holder or any subsequent Holder, proven in the manner in which such instrument was proven. 
 (f) Bonds of any
series authenticated and delivered after any Act of Holders may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any action taken by such Act of Holders. If the Company shall so determine, new Bonds of any
series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to such action may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Bonds of such series. 

(g) The Company may, at its option, by Company Order, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act solicited by the Company, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. In addition, the Trustee may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders
entitled to join in the giving or making of any Notice of Default, any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 9.02, any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 9.07 or any direction referred to in
Section 9.12. If any such record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, or such notice, declaration, request or direction, may be given before or after such record date, but only the
Holders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining (i) whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the Outstanding Bonds have authorized or agreed or consented to such
Act (and for that purpose the Outstanding Bonds shall be computed as of the record date) and/or (ii) which Holders may revoke any such Act (notwithstanding subsection (e) of this Section); and any such Act, given as aforesaid, shall be
effective whether or not the Holders which authorized or agreed or consented to such Act remain Holders after such record date and whether or not the Bonds held by such Holders remain Outstanding after such record date. 

SECTION 1.05. Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Company. 

Except as otherwise provided herein, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or Act of Holders or other document
provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made or served upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company, or the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder, shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder
(unless otherwise expressly provided herein) if the same shall be in writing and delivered personally to the addressee (which delivery, with respect to the Trustee, shall be made to its Corporate Trust Office and addressed to the attention of the
Corporate Trust Administration), or transmitted by facsimile transmission or other direct written electronic means 

  
 17 

 
to such telephone number or other electronic communications address as the parties hereto shall from time to time designate, or transmitted by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, or overnight courier guaranteeing next day delivery, charges prepaid, to the applicable address set forth opposite such party’s name below or to such other address as either party hereto may from time to time designate:

SECTION 1.06. Notice to Holders of Bonds; Waiver. 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given, and
shall be deemed given, to Holders if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Bond Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than
the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
 In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause
it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders is
given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. 

Any notice required by this Indenture may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event otherwise to be
specified therein, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such
waiver. 

  
 18 

 SECTION 1.07. Conflict With Trust Indenture Act. 

If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required or deemed to be included in this Indenture by
any provision of the Trust Indenture Act, the provision required or deemed to be included by the Trust Indenture Act shall control; and if any provision hereof otherwise conflicts with the Trust Indenture Act, or limits, qualifies or conflicts with
the duties imposed by Section 318(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trust Indenture Act, including the duties imposed by Section 318(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, shall control. 

SECTION 1.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. 

The Article and Section headings in this Indenture and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 

SECTION 1.09. Successors and Assigns. 
 All
covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company and the Trustee shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 

SECTION 1.10. Separability Clause. 
 In case

SECTION 1.11. Benefits of Indenture. 
 Nothing
in this Indenture or the Bonds, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 

SECTION 1.12. Governing Law. 
 This Indenture
and the Bonds shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall be

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Bond shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (except
as otherwise provided in the Float Rate Senior Notes) payment of interest or principal and premium, if any, need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the
same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or 

  
 19 

 
Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after
such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to such Business Day. 
 SECTION 1.14. Investment of Cash
Held by Trustee. 
 Any cash held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent under any provision of this Indenture shall, except as otherwise provided in
Article VIII, at the request of the Company evidenced by Company Order, be invested or reinvested in Investment Securities selected and designated by the Company (such Company Order to contain a representation to the effect that the securities
designated therein constitute Investment Securities), and any interest on such Investment Securities shall be promptly paid over to the Company as received. Such Investment Securities shall be held subject to the same provisions hereof as the cash
used to purchase the same, but upon a like request of the Company shall be sold, in whole or in designated part, and the proceeds of such sale shall be held subject to the same provisions hereof as the cash used to purchase the Investment Securities
so sold. If such sale shall produce a net sum less than the cost of the Investment Securities so sold, the Company shall pay to the Trustee or any such Paying Agent, as the case may be, such amount in cash as, together with the net proceeds from
such sale, shall equal the cost of the Investment Securities so sold, and if such sale shall produce a net sum greater than the cost of the Investment Securities so sold, the Trustee or any such Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly pay
over to the Company an amount in cash equal to such excess. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any loss incurred in connection with the sale of any Investment Security pursuant to this Section. In the absence of a Company Order directing
the Trustee to invest cash held by the Trustee hereunder, such funds shall remain uninvested. The Trustee shall not be accountable or liable for any losses resulting from the sale or depreciation in the market value of investments made pursuant to
this Indenture and Company Orders.

e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that (a) subsequent to such transmission of written instructions, the Company shall provide the originally
executed instructions or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner, and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the Company providing such instructions or directions. If the
Company elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s
understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions
notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee,
including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.

SECTION 3.02. Form and Dating; Denominations. 

Provisions relating to the Initial Bonds and the Exchange Bonds are set forth in the Rule 144A/Regulation S Appendix attached hereto (the
“Appendix”), which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Initial Bonds and the Exchange Bonds and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication for such Bonds shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit 1 to the Appendix which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. 
 The Bonds shall bear such legends as
may be required by the Appendix and may have such other notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is
in a form acceptable to the Company). 
 The Bonds of each series shall be issuable in denominations of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and any
integral multiple of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) thereafter. 

  
 21 

 SECTION 3.03. Execution, Dating, Certificate of Authentication. 

The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any two of the following: the President, the Chief Executive Officer, any Vice President, the Chief
Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer. The corporate seal of the Company may be affixed thereto or reproduced thereon and attested by the Company’s Corporate Secretary or any other officer of the Company as permitted by
the Company’s bylaws. The signature of any or all of these officers on the Bonds may be manual or facsimile. 
 Bonds bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were at the time of execution the President, the Chief Executive Officer, a Vice President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding
that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Bonds or did not hold such offices at the date of such Bonds. 

Each Bond shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 No
Bond shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Bond a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Exhibit 1 executed by the Trustee or an
Authenticating Agent by manual signature of an authorized officer thereof, and such certificate upon any Bond shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Bond has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Bond shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder to the Company, or any Person acting on its behalf, but shall never have been issued and sold (or pledged) by the
Company, and (a) the Company shall deliver such Bond to the Bond Registrar for cancellation or shall cancel such Bond and deliver evidence of such cancellation to the Trustee, in each case as provided in Section 3.09, and (b) the
Company, at its election, shall deliver to the Trustee a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Bond has never been
issued and sold (or pledged) by the Company, then, for all purposes of this Indenture, such Bond shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits hereof. 

SECTION 3.04. Temporary Bonds. 
 Pending the
preparation of definitive Bonds of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Bonds which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed, photocopied or otherwise produced,
in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Bonds in lieu of which they are issued, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Bonds may determine,
as evidenced by their execution of such Bonds. 
 After the preparation of definitive Bonds of such series, the temporary Bonds of such series shall be
exchangeable, without charge to the Holder thereof, for definitive Bonds of such series upon surrender of such temporary Bonds at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 7.02 in a Place of Payment for such Bonds. Upon
such surrender of temporary Bonds, the Company shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Appendix, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Bonds of the same series, of authorized
denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 

  
 22 

 Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, temporary Bonds shall in all respects be entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture as definitive Bonds of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 SECTION 3.05.
Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 
 The Company shall cause to be kept in one of the offices designated pursuant to
Section 7.02, with respect to the Bonds of each series, a register (the “Bond Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Bonds of such series and
the registration of transfer thereof. The Company shall designate one Person to maintain the Bond Register for the Bonds of each series, and such Person is referred to herein, with respect to such series, as the “Bond Registrar”. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may designate one or more of its offices as an office in which a Bond Register with respect to the Bonds of one or more series shall be maintained, and the Company may designate itself the Bond
Registrar with respect to one or more of such series. The Bond Register(s) shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and the Company at all reasonable times. 

The Trustee is hereby appointed as initial Paying Agent and initial Bond Registrar for the Bonds. The Place of Payment of the Bonds shall be the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee. 
 Except as provided below with respect to Global Bonds, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Bond of such
series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 7.02 in a Place of Payment for such series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in each case in accordance with the procedures
set forth in the Appendix, the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 

Any Bond of such series may be exchanged at the option of the Holder, for one or more new Bonds of the same series of authorized denominations and of like
tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in each
case in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Appendix, the Bonds which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Bonds
delivered upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligation, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Bonds surrendered upon such registration of
transfer or exchange. Every Bond presented or surrendered for registration of transfer shall be duly endorsed or shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the
case may be, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Every Bond presented or surrendered for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar) be duly endorsed or shall be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. 

  
 23 

 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds, but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 6.06 or 13.06 not
involving any transfer. 
 The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of transfer of or the exchange of (a) Bonds
of any series during a period of fifteen (15) days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers of the Bonds of such series called for redemption or (b) any Bond so selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Bond being redeemed in part. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is
exchanged in whole or in part for Bonds in certificated form, a Global Bond representing all or a portion of the Bonds of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a
nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

If at any time (i) the Depositary for the Bonds of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Bonds
of such series or that it is no longer eligible under Section 3.13, and in any such case the Company has not appointed a successor Depositary within ninety (90) days after delivery of such notice, (ii) there has occurred and is
continuing an Event of Default, or (iii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Bonds of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Bonds shall no longer be represented by such Global Bond or Bonds, then in each such
event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of certificated Bonds of such series, will authenticate and deliver, in each case in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
Appendix, Bonds of such series in certificated form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Bond or Bonds representing such series in exchange for such Global Bond or Bonds. 

The Depositary for such series of Bonds may surrender a Global Bond for such series of Bonds in exchange in whole or in part for Bonds of such series in
certificated form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary, in each case, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Appendix. Thereupon, the Company shall authenticate and deliver, without charge: 

(i) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new Bond or Bonds of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Bonds; and 

  
 24 

 (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Bond in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the
principal amount of the surrendered Global Bond and the aggregate principal amount of Bonds delivered to Holders thereof. 
 Bonds issued in exchange for a
Global Bond pursuant to this Section and the Appendix shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Bond, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise,
shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Bonds to the Persons in whose names such Bonds are so registered. 
 SECTION 3.06.
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Bonds. 
 If any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Bond of the same series, and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership of and the destruction, loss or theft of
any Bond and (b) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Bond is held by a protected
purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, a new Bond of the same series, and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond has become or is about to become due and payable,
the Company in its discretion may, but subject to compliance with the foregoing conditions, instead of issuing a new Bond, pay such Bond. 
 Upon the
issuance of any new Bond 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 reasonable expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Bond of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Bond
shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall be at any time enforceable by anyone other than the Holder of such new Bond, and any such new Bond shall be entitled to all
the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds of such 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 Bonds. 

  
 25 

 SECTION 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 

Interest on any Bond which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that
Bond (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, except that interest payable on the Stated Maturity of the principal of a Bond shall be paid to the Person to whom principal
is paid. The initial payment of interest on any Bond of any series which is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Bond or supplemental indenture with respect to the related
series of Bonds. Except in the case of a Global Bond at the option of the Company, interest on any series of Bonds may be paid by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it shall appear on the Bond Register of such
series or (ii) wire transfer in immediately available funds at such place and to such account as designated in writing by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Bond Register of such series. 

Any interest on any Bond of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called
“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the related Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as
provided in clause (a) or (b) below: 
 (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Bonds of
such series (or their respective Predecessor Bonds) are registered at the close of business on a date (herein called a “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Bond of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money
equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than thirty (30) days
and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than twenty-five (25) days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to such Special Record Date, cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor to be given to each Holder of Bonds of such series. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names
the Bonds of such series (or their respective Predecessor Bonds) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date. 
 (b) The Company may
make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Bonds of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Bonds may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.05, each Bond delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Bond shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Bond. 

  
 26 

 SECTION 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. 

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Bond is registered as the absolute owner of such
Bond for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07) interest, if any, on such Bond and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Bond be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 SECTION 3.09. Cancellation by Bond
Registrar. 
 All Bonds surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the
Bond Registrar, be delivered to the Bond Registrar and, if not theretofore canceled, shall be promptly canceled by the Bond Registrar. The Company may at any time deliver to the Bond Registrar for cancellation any Bonds previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever or which the Company shall not have issued and sold (or pledged), and all Bonds so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Bond Registrar, which shall not prohibit
the Company from issuing any Additional Bonds, or any Exchange Bonds in exchange for Initial Bonds. No Bonds shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Bonds canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. All canceled Bonds held by the Bond Registrar shall be disposed of in accordance with the Bond Registrar’s then customary practice for disposing of securities, unless otherwise directed by a Company Order. 

SECTION 3.10. Computation of Interest. 

Interest on the Bonds of each series shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of twelve (12) thirty (30) day
months and, with respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during such period. 

SECTION 3.11. Reserved. 

SECTION 3.12. CUSIP Numbers. 
 The Company, in
issuing the Bonds, may use “CUSIP” or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee or Bond Registrar may use CUSIP or such other 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 Bonds or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
on the Bonds, in which case none of the Company or, as the case may be, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall have any liability in respect of any CUSIP number used on any such notice, and any such redemption shall
not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 

  
 27 

 SECTION 3.13. Global Bonds. 

The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section and the Company Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver
one or more Global Bonds in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of such series to be represented by one or more
Global Bonds, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Bond or Bonds or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s
instruction or held by the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary, and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Bonds in certificated form, this Bond may not
be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a
nominee of such successor Depositary.” 
 The Depositary shall initially be DTC. The Company may at any time designate another Person to act as
Depositary in place of DTC. Each Depositary designated pursuant to this Section 3.13 or otherwise for a Global Bond must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation. 
 None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Bond Registrar will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of Depositary records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in a Global Bond or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any Depositary records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests, or for transfers of beneficial interests in the Bonds or any transactions between the Depositary and beneficial owners. 

SECTION 3.14. Issuance of Additional Bonds.  

After the Issue Date, the Company shall, subject to compliance with the terms of this Indenture but without notice to or the consent of any Holders, be
entitled to create and issue Additional Bonds under this Indenture, which Bonds shall have identical terms as, and rank equally and ratably with, the Initial Bonds issued on the Issue Date or the Exchange Bonds exchanged therefor, other than with
respect to the date of issuance, issue price, the initial interest accrual date and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto. The Initial Bonds of the relevant series of Bonds and any Additional Bonds of the relevant
series of Bonds and all Exchange Bonds of the relevant series of Bonds shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture; provided, however, that no Additional Bonds may be issued with the same CUSIP number as the Bonds
previously issued under this Indenture if such Additional Bonds are not fungible with such previously issued Bonds for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

  
 28 

 With respect to any Additional Bonds, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors of
the Company and an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 
 (i) the aggregate
principal amount of such Additional Bonds to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; 
 (ii) the issue price, the issue date, the initial
interest accrual date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Bonds; and 
 (iii) whether such Additional Bonds shall be Initial Bonds or shall be issued in
the form of Exchange Bonds as set forth in Exhibit A.

 REDEMPTION
OF BONDS 
 SECTION 6.01. Applicability of Article. 

Bonds of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and in accordance with this Article.

 SECTION 6.02. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 

The election of the Company to redeem any Bonds shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate. If the Company elects to redeem a
Bond pursuant to its terms, the Company shall, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date
and of the principal amount of such Bonds to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Bonds (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Bonds or elsewhere in this Indenture or
(b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Bonds, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

 SECTION 6.03. Selection of Bonds to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Bonds of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the Bond Registrar from the Outstanding
Bonds of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as shall be provided for any particular series, or, in the absence of any such provision, by such method of random selection as the Bond Registrar shall

  
 29 

 
deem fair and appropriate and which may, in any case, provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Bonds of such series or any integral
multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Bonds of such series having a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Bonds of such series; provided, however, that if, as indicated in an Officer’s Certificate, the Company
shall have offered to purchase all or any principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding of any series, and less than all of such Bonds as to which such offer was made shall have been tendered to the Company for such purchase, the Bond Registrar, if
so directed by Company Order, shall select for redemption all or any principal amount of such Bonds which have not been so tendered. 
 The Bond Registrar
shall promptly notify the Company and the Trustee in writing of the Bonds selected for redemption and, in the case of any Bonds selected to be redeemed in part, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Bonds shall relate, in the case of any
Bonds redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Bonds which has been or is to be redeemed. 

SECTION 6.04. Notice of Redemption. 
 Notice
of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.06 to the Holders of the Bonds to be redeemed not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date in the manner set forth below and by e-mail to the Depositary. 
 All notices of redemption shall state: 

(a) the Redemption Date, 
 (b) the Redemption Price;
provided, however, that such notice need not state the dollar amount of the Redemption Price if such dollar amount has not been determined as of the date of such notice, 

(c) if less than all the Bonds of any series are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Bonds to be redeemed and the portion of the principal
amount of any Bond to be redeemed in part, 
 (d) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the
Redemption Date, will become due and payable upon each such Bond to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date; provided, that if a conditional notice shall be given, other appropriate language
shall be inserted indicating the conditional nature of the redemption, 
 (e) the place or places where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, and 
 (f) such other matters as the Company shall deem desirable or appropriate. 

  
 30 

 Unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Bonds, with respect to any redemption of Bonds at the
election of the Company or any redemption which is contingent on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of an event or condition which cannot be ascertained prior to the time a redemption notice is required to be given hereunder, such notice may state that
such redemption shall be conditional upon receipt by the Trustee or the Paying Agent or Agents for such Bonds, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of such Bonds and accrued interest, if
any, thereon to the Redemption Date (or direction from the Company to apply such money for the payment of such Bonds, if such money shall have been deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent or Agents upon the condition that the Trustee or Paying
Agent or Agents will apply such money only at the direction of the Company) and that if such money shall not have been so received (or if such money shall have been received but the Trustee or the Paying Agent or Agents have been directed by the
Company not to apply such money to redeem such Bonds) such notice shall be of no force or effect and the Company shall not be required to redeem such Bonds; provided, however, that conditional notice shall not be given if upon the giving of notice,
such Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid in accordance with Section 8.01. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not so received, or the Trustee or Paying Agent or Agents have been directed
by the Company not to apply such money to the redemption of such Bonds, the redemption shall not be made, and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was
not so received or that the Trustee or Paying Agent or Agents have been directed by the Company not to redeem such Bonds and such redemption was not required to be made, and the Trustee or Paying Agent or Agents for the Bonds otherwise to have been
redeemed shall promptly return to the Holders thereof any of such Bonds which had been surrendered for payment upon such redemption. 
 Notice of redemption
of Bonds to be redeemed at the election of the Company, and any notice of non-satisfaction of a condition for redemption as aforesaid, shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the
Bond Registrar in the name and at the expense of the Company. Notice of mandatory redemption of Bonds shall be given by the Bond Registrar in the name and at the expense of the Company. 

SECTION 6.05. Bonds Payable on Redemption Date. 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the conditions, if any, set forth in such notice having been satisfied, the Bonds or portions thereof
so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless, in the case of an unconditional notice of redemption, the Company shall default in the payment
of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Bonds or portions thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Bond for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Bond or portion thereof
shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, any installment of interest on any Bond the Stated Maturity of which installment is on or prior to the
Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holder of such Bond, or one or more Predecessor Bonds, registered as such at the close of business on the related Regular Record Date according to the terms of such Bond and subject to the provisions of
Section 3.07. 

  
 31 

 SECTION 6.06. Bonds Redeemed in Part. 

Upon the surrender of any Bond which is to be redeemed only in part at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver to the Holder of such Bond, without service charge, a new Bond or Bonds of the same series, of any authorized denomination requested by such Holder and of like tenor and in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Bond so surrendered. 
 ARTICLE VII 

COVENANTS 
 SECTION 7.01.
Payment of Bonds. 
 The Company shall pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Bonds of each series in accordance
with the terms of such Bonds and this Indenture. Additional Interest, if any, shall be payable under the circumstances and at the rate specified in any Registration Rights Agreement then in effect. 

SECTION 7.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for the Bonds of each series, an office or agency where payment of such Bonds shall be made, and where the
registration of transfer or exchange of such Bonds may be effected and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of such Bonds and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of each such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of Bonds of any series, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, payment of such Bonds shall be made, registration of transfer or exchange thereof may be effected and notices and demands in respect thereof may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the
Trustee as its agent for all such purposes in any such event. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies with
respect to the Bonds of one or more series for any or all of the foregoing purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its
obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any office or agency required by this Section may be maintained at an office of the Company, in which event
the Company shall perform all functions to be performed at such office or agency. 

  
 32 

 SECTION 7.03. Money for Bond Payments to Be Held in Trust. 

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Bonds of any series, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of
and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on any of such Bonds, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and premium or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid
to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor on such Bonds) to make any payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if
any, on such Bonds. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Bonds of any series, it shall, on or before each due date of the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Bonds, deposit with such Paying Agents sums sufficient (without duplication) to pay the principal and premium or interest so becoming due, such sums to be held in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by it so to act. 

Upon their appointment as Paying Agent, the Company shall cause each Paying Agent for the Bonds of any series, other than the Company or the Trustee, to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent shall: 

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Bonds in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 
 (b) give the Trustee notice of any
failure by the Company (or any other obligor upon such Bonds) to make any payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Bonds; and 

(c) at any time during the continuance of any such failure, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by
such Paying Agent and furnish to the Trustee such information as it possesses regarding the names and addresses of the Persons entitled to such sums. 
 The
Company may at any time pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were
held by the Company or such Paying Agent and, if so stated in a Company Order delivered to the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released
from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 Unless otherwise prescribed by applicable law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying
Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Bond and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become
due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from 

  
 33 

 
such trust without further action by the Company, Trustee or any Paying Agent; and, upon such payment or discharge, the Holder of such Bond shall, as an unsecured general creditor and not as the
Holder of an Outstanding Bond, look only to the Company for payment of the amount so due and payable and remaining unpaid, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as
trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment to the Company, shall, upon receipt of a Company Request and at the expense of the Company, cause to be
mailed, on one occasion only, notice to such Holder that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money
then remaining will be paid to the Company. 
 SECTION 7.04. Corporate Existence. 

Subject to the rights of the Company under Article XII, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep its corporate
existence in full force and effect. 
 SECTION 7.05. Waiver of Certain Covenants. 

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in 

(a) any covenant or restriction specified with respect to the Bonds of any one or more series, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series with respect to which compliance with such covenant or restriction is to be omitted, considered as one class, shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such
compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition; provided, however, that no such waiver shall be effective as to any of the matters contemplated in clause (a), (b) or (c) in Section 13.02
without the consent of the Holders specified in such Section; and 
 (b) Section 7.04 or 7.07 or Article XII if, before the time for such compliance,
the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of Bonds Outstanding under this Indenture shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition;

 but, in either case, no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such
waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

SECTION 7.06. Annual Officer’s Certificate as to Compliance. 

Not later than June 1 in each year, commencing June 1, 2018, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate (which need not comply with
Section 1.02) executed by the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Company, as to such officer’s knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and
covenants under this Indenture, such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture. 

  
 34 

 SECTION 7.07. Limitation on Liens. 

(a) The Company will not, nor will it permit any Significant Subsidiary to, (1) issue, incur, assume or permit to exist any Debt, if such Debt is secured
by a Lien on any Principal Property (whether such Principal Property was owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired), unless the Company provides that Outstanding Bonds will be equally and ratably secured by such Liens for as long as any such
Debt shall be so secured or (2) incur or permit to exist any Attributable Debt in respect of Principal Property; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to: 

(i) any Liens existing on the Issue Date; 
 (ii) to the extent the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary consolidates with, or merges with or into, another entity, Liens on the property of such entity securing Debt in existence on the date of such consolidation or merger, provided that such Debt and Liens were not
created or incurred in anticipation of such consolidation or merger and that such Liens do not extend to or cover any such Principal Property; 
 (iii) Liens
on property acquired after the Issue Date and existing at the time of such acquisition, as long as the Lien was not created or incurred in anticipation thereof and does not extend to or cover any other Principal Property; 

(iv) Liens of any kind, including purchase money Liens, conditional sales agreements or title retention agreements and similar agreements, upon any property
acquired, constructed, developed or improved by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (whether alone or in association with others) which do not exceed the cost or value of the property acquired, constructed, developed or improved and which are
created prior to, at the time of, or within twelve (12) months after such acquisition (or in the case of property constructed, developed or improved, within twelve (12) months after the completion of such construction, development or
improvement and commencement of full commercial operation of such property, whichever is later) to secure or provide for the payment of any part of the purchase price or cost thereof; provided that the Liens shall not extend to any Principal
Property other than the property so acquired, constructed, developed or improved; 
 (v) Liens in favor of the United States, any state or any foreign
country or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of any such jurisdiction to secure payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the
purchase price or cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such Lien, including Liens related to governmental obligations the interest on which is tax-exempt under Section 103 of the
Internal Revenue Code or any successor section of the Internal Revenue Code; 
 (vi) Liens in favor of the Company, one or more Significant Subsidiaries of
the Company, one or more wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Company or any of the foregoing combination; and 

  
 35 

 (vii) replacements, extensions or renewals (or successive replacements, extensions or renewals), in whole or in
part, of any Lien, or of any agreement, referred to above in clauses (i) through (vi) inclusive, or replacements, extensions or renewals of the Debt secured thereby (to the extent that the amount of Debt secured by any such Lien is not
increased from the amount originally so secured, plus any premium, interest, fee or expenses payable in connection with any replacements, refundings, refinancings, remarketings, extensions or renewals); provided that such replacement, extension or
renewal is limited to all or a part of the same property (plus improvements thereon or additions or accessions thereto) that secured the Lien replaced, extended or renewed. 

(b) Notwithstanding the restriction in subsection (a) of this Section 7.07, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary may (1) issue, incur or
assume Debt secured by a Lien not described in clauses (i) through (vii) of subsection (a) above on any Principal Property owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired without providing that the Outstanding Bonds be equally and ratably
secured with such Lien and (2) issue or permit to exist Attributable Debt in respect of Principal Property, in either case, so long as the aggregate amount of such secured Debt and Attributable Debt, together with the aggregate amount of all
other Debt secured by Liens on Principal Property not described in clauses (i) through (vii) of subsection (a) above then outstanding and all other Attributable Debt in respect of Principal Property, does not exceed 10% of the Net Tangible
Assets of the Company, as determined by the Company as of a month end not more than 90 days prior to the closing or consummation of the proposed transaction. 

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.07, in the event that any Lien at any time meets the criteria of more than one of the
categories described in clauses (i) through (vii) above of Section 7.07(a), or is entitled to be created pursuant to Section 7.07(b), the Company will be permitted to classify (and later reclassify) in whole or in part in its sole
discretion such Lien in any manner that complies with this Section 7.07. 
 (d) For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated
restriction on the incurrence of Debt secured by Liens on Principal Property, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in a foreign currency will be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such
Debt was incurred, in the case of term Debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Debt; provided that if such Debt is incurred to refinance other Debt denominated in the same foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the
applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, the Dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the
principal amount of the refinancing Debt does not exceed the principal amount of the Debt being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.07, the maximum amount of Debt secured by Liens on Principal Property that the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant will not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. 

(e) For purposes of this Section 7.07, “Debt” of a Significant Subsidiary shall mean any debt of such Significant Subsidiary for money borrowed
and guarantees by such Significant Subsidiary of debt for money borrowed, but in each case excluding liabilities in respect of Capital Lease Obligations or Swap Agreements.

 ARTICLE VIII 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 

SECTION 8.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Bonds. 

Any Bond or Bonds, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, shall be deemed to have been paid and no longer Outstanding for all purposes of this
Indenture, and the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof shall be satisfied and discharged, if there shall have been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust: 

(a) money in an amount which shall be sufficient, or 
 (b) in the
case of a deposit made prior to the Maturity of such Bonds or portions thereof, Eligible Obligations, which shall not contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment thereof at the option of the issuer thereof, the principal of and
the interest on which when due, without any regard to reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with the money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, shall be sufficient, or 

(c) a combination of (a) or (b) which shall be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, due and to become
due on such Bonds or portions thereof; 
 provided, however, that in the case of the provision for payment or redemption of less than all the
Bonds of any series, such Bonds or portions thereof shall have been selected by the Bond Registrar as provided herein and, in the case of a redemption, the notice requisite to the validity of such redemption shall have been given or irrevocable
authority shall have been given by the Company to the Trustee to give such notice, under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee; and provided, further, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee and such Paying Agent: 

(x) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of such Bonds, a Company Order stating that the money and Eligible Obligations deposited in
accordance with this Section shall be held in trust, as provided in Section 8.03; 
 (y) if Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited, an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that such obligations constitute Eligible Obligations and do not contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment thereof at the option of the issuer thereof, and an opinion of an Independent public
Accountant of nationally recognized standing, selected by the Company, to the effect that the other requirements set forth in clause (b) above have been satisfied; and 

(z) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of such Bonds, an Officer’s Certificate stating the Company’s intention that, upon
delivery of such Officer’s Certificate, its indebtedness in respect of such Bonds or portions thereof will have been satisfied and discharged as contemplated in this Section. 

  
 37 

 Upon the deposit of money or Eligible Obligations, or both, in accordance with this Section, together with the
documents required by clauses (x), (y) and (z) above, as applicable, the Trustee shall, upon Company Request, acknowledge in writing that such Bonds or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture and that
the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof has been satisfied and discharged as contemplated in this Section. In the event that all of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph shall have been satisfied in respect of any
Bonds or portions thereof except that, for any reason, the Officer’s Certificate specified in clause (z) (if otherwise required) shall not have been delivered, such Bonds or portions thereof shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid for
all purposes of this Indenture, and the Holders of such Bonds or portions thereof shall nevertheless be no longer entitled to the benefits of this Indenture (other than with respect to such deposit) or of any of the covenants of the Company under
Article VII (except the covenants contained in Sections 7.02 and 7.03) or any other covenants made in respect of such Bonds or portions thereof, but the indebtedness of the Company in respect of such Bonds or portions thereof shall not be deemed to
have been satisfied and discharged prior to Maturity for any other purpose; and, upon Company Request, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such Bonds or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture. 

If payment at Stated Maturity of less than all of the Bonds of any series is to be provided for in the manner and with the effect provided in this Section,
the Bond Registrar shall select such Bonds, or portions of principal amount thereof, in the manner specified by Section 6.03 for selection for redemption of less than all the Bonds of a series. 

In the event that Bonds which shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture, and, if such is the case, in respect of which the
Company’s indebtedness shall have been satisfied and discharged, all as provided in this Section, do not mature and are not to be redeemed within the sixty (60) day period commencing with the date of the deposit of moneys or Eligible
Obligations, as aforesaid, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, give a notice, in the same manner as a notice of redemption with respect to such Bonds, to the Holders of such Bonds to the effect that such deposit has been made and the
effect thereof. 
 Notwithstanding that any Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture, as aforesaid, the obligations of the
Company and the Trustee in respect of such Bonds under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 6.04, 7.02, 7.03, 10.07 and 10.15 and this Article shall survive. 
 The
Company shall pay, and shall indemnify the Trustee or any Paying Agent with which Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited as provided in this Section against, any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against such Eligible
Obligations or the principal or interest received in respect of such Eligible Obligations, including, but not limited to, any such tax payable by any entity deemed, for tax purposes, to have been created as a result of such deposit. 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) if, at any time after a Bond would be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture, and,
if such is the case, the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof would be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged, pursuant to this Section (without regard to the provisions of this paragraph), the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the
case may be, shall be required to return the money or Eligible Obligations, or combination thereof, deposited with it as aforesaid to the Company or its representative under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law, such Bond shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been paid and any satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof shall retroactively be deemed not to have been effected, and such Bond shall be
deemed to remain Outstanding and (b) any satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s indebtedness in respect of any Bond shall be subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 7.03. 

  
 38 

 SECTION 8.02. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as hereinafter expressly provided), and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company, shall execute such instruments as the Company shall reasonably request to evidence and acknowledge the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when: 

(a) no Bonds remain Outstanding hereunder; 
 (b) the Company has
paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and 
 (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with; 

provided, however, that if, in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 8.01, any Bond, previously deemed to have been paid for purposes of this
Indenture, shall be deemed retroactively not to have been so paid, this Indenture shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been satisfied and discharged, as aforesaid, and to remain in full force and effect, and the Company shall execute
and deliver such instruments as the Trustee shall reasonably request to evidence and acknowledge the same. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture as aforesaid, the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 6.04, 7.02, 7.03, 10.07 and 10.15 and this Article shall survive. 

Upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in this Section, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Company such instruments as, in
the judgment of the Company, shall be necessary, desirable or appropriate to effect or evidence the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

SECTION 8.03. Application of Trust Money. 

Neither the Eligible Obligations nor the money deposited pursuant to Section 8.01, nor the principal or interest payments on any such Eligible
Obligations, shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be held in trust for, the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Bonds or portions of principal amount thereof in respect of which
such deposit was made, all subject, however, to the provisions of Section 7.03; provided, however, that any cash received from such principal or interest payments on such Eligible Obligations, if not then needed for such purpose, shall, to the
extent practicable and upon Company Request and delivery to the Trustee of the documents referred to in subclause (y) of clause (c) in Section 8.01, be invested pursuant to a Company Order in Eligible Obligations designated and
selected by the Company of the type described in clause (b) in Section 8.01 

  
 39 

 
maturing at such times and in such amounts as shall be sufficient, together with any other moneys and the proceeds of any other Eligible Obligations then held by the Trustee, to pay when due the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, due and to become due on such Bonds or portions thereof on and prior to the Maturity thereof, and interest earned from such reinvestment shall be paid over to the Company as received; and
provided, further, that any moneys held in accordance with this Section on the Maturity of all such Bonds in excess of the amount required to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due on such Bonds shall be paid over
to the Company. 
 ARTICLE IX 

EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES 

SECTION 9.01. Events of Default. 
 “Event
of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to the Bonds, means any of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing: 
 (a) the
failure to pay interest, if any, on any Bond within thirty (30) days after the same becomes due and payable; or 
 (b) the failure to pay the principal
of, or premium, if any, on any Bond after the same becomes due and payable; or 
 (c) the failure to perform or breach of any covenant or warranty of the
Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in the performance of which or breach of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with) for a period of ninety (90) days after there has been given, by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least thirty-three percent (33%) in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, a written notice
specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, unless the Trustee is directed by the Holders of a principal amount of Bonds not less than the principal
amount of Bonds the Holders of which gave such notice, as the case may be, to agree in writing to an extension of such period prior to its expiration; or 

(d) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or
proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition by one or more
Persons other than the Company seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a custodian, receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official for the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or order for relief or any such other
decree or order shall have remained unstayed and in effect for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days; or 

  
 40 

 (e) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Company to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an
involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Company, or the filing by the Company of a
petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or the consent by the Company to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking
possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by the Company of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or an
admission in writing by the Company of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or 
 (f) the occurrence of any event of default as
defined in any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any Debt of the Company, whether such Debt existed on the Issue Date or shall thereafter be created, if such event of
default: 
 (i) is caused by a failure to pay principal after final maturity of such Debt after the expiration of the grace period provided in such Debt (a
“Payment Default”), or 
 (ii) results in the acceleration of such Debt prior to its express maturity, 

and in each case, the principal amount of any such Debt, together with the principal amount of any other such Debt under which there has been a Payment
Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $150,000,000 or more. 
 For purposes of Section 9.01(f), the amount of
$150,000,000 shall be increased in any calendar year subsequent to 2017 by the same percentage increase in the CPI Index for the period commencing January 1, 2017 and ending on January 1 of the applicable calendar year. 

SECTION 9.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than thirty-three percent (33%) in
aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
Holders), and upon such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount), together with premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, thereon, shall become immediately due and payable; provided, however, that with respect to an Event of
Default described in Section 9.01(d) or (e), the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by the Trustee or Holders. 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the Bonds then Outstanding shall have been made, but before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due shall have been obtained by the Trustee as provided in this Article, the Event or Events of Default giving rise to such declaration of acceleration shall, without further act and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 316(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, be deemed to have been waived, and such declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if 

  
 41 

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

(i) all overdue interest, if any, on all Bonds then Outstanding; 

(ii) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Bonds then Outstanding which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest
thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Bonds; and 
 (iii) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 10.07; and 

(b) any other Event or Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of Bonds which shall have become
due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 9.13. 
 No such rescission shall affect any
subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 9.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 9.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall,
upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds with respect to which such Event of Default shall have occurred, the whole amount then due and payable on such Bonds for principal and premium, if any, and interest,
if any, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 10.07. 
 If the
Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding
to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Bonds and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other
obligor upon such Bonds, wherever situated. No recovery of any such judgment by the Trustee shall affect or impair any rights, powers or remedies of the Trustee hereunder, or any rights, powers or remedies of the Holders of the Bonds. 

SECTION 9.04. Application of Money Collected. 

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article, including amounts collected pursuant to Section 9.03 (after the deductions therein provided)
shall be applied in the following order, to the extent permitted by law, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or premium, if any, or interest, if any, upon presentation of
the Bonds and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 First: To the payment of all amounts
due the Trustee under Section 10.07; 

  
 42 

 Second: To the payment of the whole amount then due and unpaid upon the Outstanding Bonds for principal and
premium, if any, and interest, if any, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected; and in case such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon such Bonds, then to the
payment of such principal and interest, if any, thereon without any preference or priority, ratably according to the aggregate amount so due and unpaid, with any balance then remaining to the payment of premium, if any, and overdue interest, if any,
ratably as aforesaid, all to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.03 shall first be applied to the payment of interest accrued on the principal of Outstanding
Bonds; and 
 Third: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 SECTION 9.05. 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 Bonds or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Bonds 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, premium, if any, and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the
Bonds 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 amounts due to the Trustee under Section 10.07) 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 amounts due it under Section 10.07. 

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 Bonds 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. 

  
 43 

 SECTION 9.06. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Bonds. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or on the Bonds may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Bonds
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 in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

SECTION 9.07. Limitation on Suits. 
 No Holder
shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 

(a) such Holder shall have previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 

(b) the Holders of at least thirty-three percent (33%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding 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 shall have offered
to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the Trustee for sixty
(60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (e) no direction
inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee during such sixty (60) day period by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding; 

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 of such Holders. 
 SECTION 9.08. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive
Principal, Premium and Interest. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Bond shall have the right, which is
absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07) interest, if any, on such Bond on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Bond (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. 

  
 44 

 SECTION 9.09. 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 shall have been discontinued
or abandoned for any reason, or shall have 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 such Holder shall be restored severally
and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and such Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

SECTION 9.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, 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 9.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder 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 9.12. Control by Holders of Bonds. 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding 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 hereunder; provided, however, that 

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and could not involve the Trustee in personal liability in
circumstances where indemnity would not, in the Trustee’s sole discretion, be adequate, and 
 (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper
by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 SECTION 9.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

Before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due shall have been obtained by the Trustee as in this Article provided, the Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all the Bonds then Outstanding waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default 

  
 45 

 (a) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Bond Outstanding, or 

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 13.02 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Bond of any series. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any and all Events of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

SECTION 9.14. Undertaking for Costs. 
 The
Company and the Trustee agree, and each Holder of Bonds by its 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 ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or to any
suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Bond on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Bond (or, in the case of redemption, on or
after the Redemption Date). 
 SECTION 9.15. Waiver of Stay and Extension Laws.

THE TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 10.01.
Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
 (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, 

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

  
 46 

 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any
provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 

(b) In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of 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 such person’s own affairs. 

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or
its own willful misconduct or its own bad faith, except that: 
 (i) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of
this Section; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that
the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, as provided herein, 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; and 
 (iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided,
every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 

SECTION 10.02. Notice of Defaults. 
 Within
ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any default hereunder of which the Trustee has received written notice, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall
have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Bond, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as
the board of directors, executive committee or a trust committee of directors or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders; provided, further, that, in the case
of any default of the character specified in Section 9.01(c), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least sixty (60) days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any
event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default. 

  
 47 

 The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default hereunder unless and until a Responsible Officer
shall have received written notice thereof at its Corporate Trust Office. In the absence of such actual knowledge or notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no such default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or of any of the documents executed in connection with
Bonds issued hereunder, or as to the existence of a default or Event of Default hereunder. 
 SECTION 10.03. Certain Rights of Trustee.

 Subject to the provisions of Section 10.01 and to the applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act: 

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,

(b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order, or as otherwise expressly
provided herein, and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
 (c) whenever in the administration of

faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;

Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 

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

(f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it
may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall (subject to applicable legal requirements) be entitled to examine, during normal business hours, the books, records and premises of the Company,
personally or by agent or attorney; 

  
 48 

 (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly
or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume
performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances; 
 (i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by
it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; 
 (j) in
no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; 
 (k) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the
Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; and 

(l) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to
take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. 
 SECTION 10.04. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Bonds or Application of
Proceeds. 
 The recitals contained herein and in the Bonds (except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication on the Bonds) shall be taken as
the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or genuineness of any securities at any time deposited with
the Trustee hereunder, or as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Bonds. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the Bonds or the proceeds thereof or of any money paid to the Company or
upon Company Order under any provision hereof. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Bonds or the proceeds thereof. 

  
 49 

 SECTION 10.05. May Hold Bonds. 

Each of the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Bond Registrar or any other agent of the Company or the Trustee, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Bonds and, subject to Sections 10.08 and 10.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not such Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Bond Registrar
or other agent. 
 SECTION 10.06. Money Held in Trust. 

Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds, except to the extent required by law or as otherwise provided in this
Indenture. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on or investment of any money received by it hereunder (provided that the Trustee has invested such money in accordance with a Company Order) except as expressly provided herein or
otherwise agreed with, and for the sole benefit of, the Company. 
 SECTION 10.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. 

The Company agrees 
 (a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time
reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred
or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except to the extent that any such expense, disbursement or advance may
be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; and 
 (c) to indemnify the Trustee (which for purposes of this Section shall include its
officers, directors, employees and agents) and hold it harmless from and against any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance
or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder or the exercise or performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of
its powers or duties hereunder. “Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of
any other Trustee hereunder. 
 In addition and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under any of the provisions of this Indenture, when
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 9.01(d) or Section 9.01(e), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for
the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 

  
 50 

 The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of
the Trustee. 
 SECTION 10.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 

If the Trustee shall have or acquire any conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, it shall either eliminate such conflicting
interest or resign to the extent, in the manner and with the effect, and subject to the conditions, provided in the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. For purposes of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act and to the extent permitted
thereby, the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee in respect of the Bonds of any series, shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest arising from its capacity as trustee in respect of the Bonds of any other series. 

SECTION 10.09. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be 

(i) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, or 

(ii) if and to the extent permitted by the Commission by rule, regulation or order upon application, a corporation or other Person organized and doing business
under the laws of a foreign government, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) or the Dollar equivalent of the applicable foreign currency
and subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a political subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees, 

and, in either case, qualified and eligible under this Article and the Trust Indenture Act. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified
in this Article. 
 SECTION 10.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 10.11. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by
giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 10.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

  
 51 

 (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time on 30 days notice by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Bonds then Outstanding delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 
 (d) If at any time: 

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 10.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for
at least six (6) months, or 
 (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 10.09 or Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act
and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 
 (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or
shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, (x) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee or (y) subject to
Section 9.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in
the office of Trustee for any cause (other than as contemplated in clause (y) in subsection (d) of this Section), the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall take prompt steps to appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees and shall comply with
the applicable requirements of Section 10.11. If, within one (1) year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of
Section 10.11, become the successor Trustee and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner
required by Section 10.11, the Trustee or the Holders of at least ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Bonds may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(f) So long as no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (i) a Board Resolution appointing a successor Trustee, effective as of a date specified therein, and (ii) an instrument of acceptance of such appointment, effective as of such date, by such
successor Trustee in accordance with Section 10.11, the Trustee shall be deemed to have resigned as contemplated in subsection (b) of this Section, the successor Trustee shall be deemed 

  
 52 

 
to have been appointed pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section and such appointment shall be deemed to have been accepted as contemplated in Section 10.11, all as of such date, and
all other provisions of this Section and Section 10.11 shall be applicable to such resignation, appointment and acceptance except to the extent inconsistent with this subsection (f). 

(g) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written notice of
such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders as their names and addresses appear in the Bond Register or as required by applicable Depositary procedures. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address
of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 SECTION 10.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee. Such retiring Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and
shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 
 (b) Upon request of any
such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any instruments which fully vest in and confirm to such successor Trustee all rights, powers and trusts referred to in subsection (a) of this Section. 

(c) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this
Article. 
 SECTION 10.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation
shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Bonds shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the
Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Bonds so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Bonds. 
 SECTION 10.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

If the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any other obligor upon the Bonds (other than by reason of a relationship described in
Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), the Trustee shall be subject to any and all applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company or such other obligor. 

  
 53 

 SECTION 10.14. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustees. 

At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction, the Company and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and, upon
the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of at least thirty-three percent (33%) in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, the Company shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments
and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, by the Company either to act as co-trustee under
this Indenture, jointly with the Trustee, or to act as separate trustee under this Indenture, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in the capacity aforesaid, any
property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Company does not join in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment. 
 Should any written instrument or
instruments from the Company be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed to more fully confirm to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property,
title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company. 
 Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following conditions: 

(i) the Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered, and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and
other personal property held by the Trustee hereunder shall be exercised solely by the Trustee; 
 (ii) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed either by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided
in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee; 

(iii) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Company, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Company. Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Company shall join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements
necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section; 

  
 54 

 (iv) neither the Trustee nor any co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and 
 (v) any Act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee. 
 SECTION 10.15. Appointment
of Authenticating Agent. 
 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Bonds of one or more series, which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Bonds of such series issued upon original issuance, exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Bonds so authenticated shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Bonds by the Trustee or
the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia
or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of
such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any corporation into which
an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to
all or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable
to the 

  
 55 

 
Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect
as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 

The provisions of Sections 3.03, 10.04 and 10.05 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent. 

If an appointment with respect to the Bonds of one or more series shall be made pursuant to this Section, the Bonds of such series may have endorsed thereon,
in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form: 
 This is
one of the Bonds of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

date such information is so furnished, and the Trustee shall preserve such information and similar information received by it in any other capacity and afford to the Holders access to information so preserved by it, all to such extent, if any, and

other information, reports and other documents, if any, at such times and in such manner, as shall be required by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that the electronic filing with the Commission through the Commission’s Electronic
Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or any successor system providing for free public access to such filings) shall satisfy the Company’s obligation to provide such reports, information and documents to the Trustee and the Holders.

 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). 
 ARTICLE XII 

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE OR OTHER TRANSFER 

SECTION 12.01. Company May Consolidate, etc., Only on Certain Terms. 

The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person, or convey, or otherwise transfer, or lease, all or substantially all of the
Principal Property to any Person, unless: 
 (a) the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by
conveyance or other transfer, or which leases, all or substantially all of the Principal Property shall be a corporation, shall be organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia (such
corporation being hereinafter sometimes called the “Successor Corporation”) and shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an indenture supplemental hereto, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which in the case of a
consolidation, merger, conveyance or other transfer, or in the case of a lease if the term thereof extends beyond the last Stated Maturity of the Bonds then Outstanding, contains an assumption by the Successor Corporation of the due and punctual

 57 

 (d) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that the merger, consolidation, conveyance, lease or transfer, as the case may be, fully complies with all provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that the delivery of such an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall
not be required with respect to any merger, consolidation, conveyance, transfer or lease between the Company and any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may merge or consolidate with or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to an Affiliate that has no
significant assets or liabilities and was formed solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of organization of the Company or the form of organization of the Company or for the purpose of forming a holding company; provided that the amount
of indebtedness of the Company is not increased thereby; and provided, further that the successor assumes all obligations of the Company under this Indenture.

Upon any consolidation or merger or any conveyance or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Principal Property in accordance with
Section 12.01, the Successor Corporation shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every power and right of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Corporation had been named as the

 All Bonds so executed by the Successor Corporation, and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, shall in all respects be entitled to the benefits of

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease, changes in phraseology and form may be made in the Bonds thereafter to be issued and the
documentation thereafter to be delivered hereunder as may be appropriate to reflect such occurrence.

supplemental hereto contemplated in clause (a) in Section 12.01, or any other indenture, so provides, none of the properties: 
 (a) owned by the
Successor Corporation or any other party to such transaction (other than the Company) immediately prior to the time of effectiveness of such transaction or

the Trust Indenture Act as in effect on the Issue Date or any corresponding provision in any similar federal statute enacted after the Issue Date; or 
 (i)
to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the discharge of any series of Bonds pursuant to Section 8.02; provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the

(l) comply with any requirement in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. 

  
 60 

 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Trust Indenture Act as in effect on the Issue Date, or
at any time hereafter shall be amended and: 
 (x) if any such amendment shall require one or more changes to any provisions hereof or the inclusion herein
of any additional provisions, or shall by operation of law be deemed to effect such changes or incorporate such provisions by reference or otherwise, this Indenture shall be deemed to have been amended so as to conform to such amendment to the Trust
Indenture Act, and the Company and the Trustee may, without the consent of any Holders, enter into an indenture supplemental hereto to evidence such amendment hereof; or 

(y) if any such amendment shall permit one or more changes to, or the elimination of, any provisions hereof which, as of the Issue Date or at any time
hereafter, are required by the Trust Indenture Act to be contained herein or are contained herein to reflect any provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as in effect at such date, this Indenture shall be deemed to have been amended to effect such
changes or elimination, and the Company and the Trustee may, without the consent of any Holders, enter into an indenture supplemental hereto to amend this Indenture to effect such changes or elimination. 

SECTION 13.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 13.01, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of all
series then Outstanding under this Indenture, considered as one class, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of more than one series Outstanding hereunder and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall
directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly
affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond of each series so directly affected: 

(a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Bond, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the
rate of interest thereon (or the amount of any installment of interest thereon) or change the method of calculating such rate or reduce any premium payable thereon, or change the coin or currency (or other property), in which any Bond or premium, if
any, or interest, if any, thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Maturity of any Bond, without, in any such case, the consent of the Holder of such Bond; or 

(b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of any series, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental
indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with any provision of this Indenture or of any default hereunder and its consequences, or reduce the requirements of Section 14.04 for quorum or voting;
or 

  
 61 

 (c) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 7.05 or Section 9.13 with respect to the
Bonds of any series (except to increase the percentages in principal amount referred to in this Section or such other Sections or to provide that other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holders of
all Bonds of such series) without, in any such case, the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond of such series; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the
references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Section 13.01(e). 

A supplemental indenture which (x) changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for
the benefit of the Holders of, or which is to remain in effect only so long as there shall be Outstanding, Bonds of one or more specified series, or (y) modifies the rights of the Holders of Bonds of such series with respect to such covenant or
other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Bonds of any other series. 
 It shall not be necessary for
any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 

SECTION 13.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 

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 10.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate stating that the execution of such supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and all conditions precedent to the execution of such supplemental indenture have been complied with. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture
which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, immunities or liabilities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 SECTION 13.04. Effect of
Supplemental Indentures. 
 Upon the execution and delivery of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in
accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Bonds theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. Any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article may restate this Indenture in its entirety, and, upon the execution and delivery thereof, any such restatement shall supersede this Indenture as theretofore in effect for all purposes. 

SECTION 13.05. Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. 

Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. 

  
 62 

 SECTION 13.06. Reference in Bonds to Supplemental Indentures. 

Bonds of any series, authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the
Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Bonds of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the
Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Bonds of such series. 

SECTION 13.07. Modification Without Supplemental Indenture. 

To the extent, if any, that the terms of any particular series of Bonds shall have been established, and not in a supplemental indenture, additions to, changes
in or the elimination of any of such terms may be effected by means of a supplemental Board Resolution or a supplemental Officer’s Certificate, as the case may be, delivered to, and accepted by, the Trustee; provided, however, that such
supplemental Board Resolution or supplemental Officer’s Certificate shall not be accepted by the Trustee or otherwise be effective unless all conditions set forth in this Indenture which would be required to be satisfied if such additions,
changes or elimination were contained in a supplemental indenture shall have been appropriately satisfied, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee. Upon the acceptance thereof by the Trustee, any
such supplemental Board Resolution or supplemental Officer’s Certificate shall be deemed to be a “supplemental indenture” for purposes of Section 13.04 and 13.06. 

ARTICLE XIV

provided in subsection (a) of this Section, or shall direct the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, to give such notice. If the Trustee shall have been asked to call such a meeting by Holders in accordance with this
subsection (b), and the Trustee shall not have given the notice of such meeting within twenty-one (21) days after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as

Holders of Bonds of such series; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at such meeting which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal amount
of the Outstanding Bonds of such series, considered as one class, the Persons entitled to vote such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of such series, considered as one class, shall constitute a quorum. In the absence
of a quorum within one hour of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Bonds of such series, be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for such period as may be
determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for such period as may be determined by the chairman of the
meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Except as 

  
 64 

 
provided by Section 14.05(e), notice of the reconvening of any meeting adjourned for more than thirty (30) days shall be given as provided in Section 1.06 not less than ten

reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of the series with respect to which such meeting shall
have been called, considered as one class; provided, however, that, except as so limited, any resolution with respect to any action which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a
majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of such series, considered as one class, may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of the Holders
of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of such series, considered as one class. 
 Any resolution passed or decision
taken at any meeting of Holders of Bonds duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the Holders of Bonds of the series with respect to which such meeting shall have been held, whether or not present or represented at the
meeting. 
 SECTION 14.05. Attendance at Meetings; Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings. 

(a) Attendance at meetings of Holders of Bonds may be in person or by proxy; and, to the extent permitted by law, any such proxy shall remain in effect and be
binding upon any future Holder of the Bonds with respect to which it was given unless and until specifically revoked by the Holder or future Holder (except as provided in Section 1.04(g)) of such Bonds before being voted. 

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of
Holders of Bonds in regard to proof of the holding of such Bonds and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the
right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations and approved by the Company, the holding of Bonds shall be proved in the
manner specified in Section 1.04 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.04. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed
valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 1.04 or other proof. 
 (c) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary
chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 14.02(b), in which case the Company or the Holders of Bonds of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in
like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series
represented at the meeting, considered as one class. 

  
 65 

 (d) At any meeting each Holder or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each One Thousand Dollars ($1,000)
principal amount of Outstanding Bonds held or represented by such Holder; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Bond challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not
Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Bond or proxy. 
 (e) Any meeting duly called pursuant to
Section 14.02 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series represented at the meeting, considered as one class; and
the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice. 
 SECTION 14.06. Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings. 

The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders or of
their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Bonds, of the series with respect to which the meeting shall have been called, held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall
appoint two (2) inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports of all votes cast at the meeting. A
record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to such record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and
affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that such notice was given as provided in Section 14.02 and, if applicable, Section 14.04. Each copy shall be
signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company, and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the
ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated. 
 SECTION 14.07.
Action Without Meeting.

authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be made, given or taken by Holders by one or more written instruments as provided in Section 1.04.

 Except as set forth in this
Section 2.1(b), beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Bond will not be exchangeable for interests in the Rule 144A Global Bond prior to the expiration of the period through and including the 40th day after the
later of the commencement of the offering of any Bonds and the closing of such offering (such period, the “Restricted Period”) and then, after the expiration of the Restricted Period, may be exchanged for interests in a Rule 144A
Global Bond only upon certification in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee that beneficial ownership interests in such Regulation S Global Bond are owned either by non-U.S. persons or
U.S. persons who purchased such interests in a transaction that did not require registration under the Securities Act. 
 Prior to the
expiration of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Bond may be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global Bond only if (i) such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer of the Bonds
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), (ii) the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in Exhibit 1 hereto) to the effect that the beneficial interest in the
Regulation S Global Bond is being transferred to a Person who the transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB and is purchasing for its own account or the account of a QIB, in each case in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and
(iii) the transfer is in accordance with all applicable securities laws. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, such certification requirements shall not apply to such transfers of beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Bond
representing Regulation S Global Bonds. 
 Beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Bond may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery
in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Global Bond, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in Exhibit 1 hereto) to the
effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if available). 
 The aggregate
principal amount of the Global Bonds may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee as provided herein and in the Indenture. 

(c) Certificated Bonds. Except as provided in Section 3.05 of the Indenture, owners of beneficial interests in
Restricted Global Bonds shall not be entitled to receive Bonds in certificated form. Bonds in certificated form shall be exchangeable for beneficial interests in Global Bonds only as provided in Section 3.05 of the
Indenture and Section 2.3 hereof.

case of Exchange Bonds, upon receipt of a written certification contained in the letter of transmittal (or substantially similar electronic submission, including an agent’s message through the Depository) for the related Registered Exchange
Offer, from Persons to receive such Exchange Bonds that (x) they are not broker-dealers who acquired Bonds directly from the Company, (y) they are not participating in a distribution of the Exchange Bonds and (z) they are not

 2.3 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Bonds. The transfer and exchange of Global Bonds or beneficial interests therein shall be effected
through the Depositary, in accordance with this Appendix and the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Bond
shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Bond. The
Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Bond and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer
the beneficial interest in the Global Bond being transferred. 
 (i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix, a Global Bond
may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or
a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 (ii) In the event that a Restricted Global Bond is exchanged for Bonds in certificated form
pursuant to Section 2.4(a) hereof, such Bonds may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the
certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Bonds intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as
may from time to time be adopted by the Company. 
 (b) Transfer and Exchange of Bonds in Certificated Form. When Bonds in
certificated form are presented to the Registrar with a request (x) to register the transfer of such certificated Bonds or (y) to exchange such certificated Bonds for an equal principal amount of certificated Bonds of other authorized
denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the certificated Bonds surrendered for transfer or
exchange: 
 (i) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company
and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and 
 (ii) if such certificated Bonds
are required to bear a Restricted Bonds legend, they are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 2.3(c) or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or
(C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable: 
 (A) if such
certificated Bonds are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or 

  
 App. - 3 

 (B) if such certificated Bonds are being transferred to the Company or any
Subsidiary thereof a certification to that effect; or 
 (C) if such certificated Bonds are being transferred
(x) pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (y) in reliance upon another exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act: (I) a certification
to that effect (in the form provided in Exhibit 1 hereto) and (II) if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the applicable legends
as set forth in Section 2.3(d). 
 (c) Restrictions on Transfer of a Bond in Certificated Form for a Beneficial
Interest in a Global Bond. A Bond in certificated form may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Bond or a Regulation S Global Bond except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the
Trustee of a Bond in certificated form, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with: 

(i) certification, in the form set forth on the reverse of the Bond, that such certificated Bond is either (A) being transferred to a
person reasonably believed to be a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or (B) being transferred after expiration of the Restricted Period by a Person who initially purchased such Bond in reliance on Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its
interest in such Bond in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Bond; and 
 (ii) written instructions directing the
Trustee to make, or to direct the Bonds custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Rule 144A Global Bond (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (c)(i)(A) of this Section 2.3) or
Regulation S Global Bond (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (c)(i)(B) of this Section 2.3) to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds represented by the Rule 144A Global Bond or
Regulation S Global Bond, as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase, 

then the Trustee shall cancel such certificated Bond and cause, or direct the Bonds custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and
procedures existing between the Depositary and the Bonds custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Bonds represented by the Rule 144A Global Bond or Regulation S Global Bond, as applicable, to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the
certificated Bond to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Bond or Regulation S Global Bond, as applicable, equal to the
principal amount of the certificated Bond so canceled. If no Rule 144A Global Bonds or Regulation S Global Bonds, as applicable, are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of a Company Order, a new
Rule 144A Global Bond or Regulation S Global Bond, as applicable, in the appropriate principal amount.

(AND BASED UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY) OR (6) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND (B) IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE
UNITED STATES OR IN ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING THIS BOND, REPRESENTS AND AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT IT IS (1) A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A OR (2) A
NON-US PERSON OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF, OR AN ACCOUNT SATISFYING THE REQUIREMENTS OF PARAGRAPH (K)(2) OF RULE 902 UNDER, REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT”.

Company Order stating that the Resale Restriction Termination Date applicable to 

  
 App. - 5

state of the United States. 
 (f) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Bond. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global
Bond have either been exchanged for certificated Bonds, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Bond shall be returned to the Company for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any
beneficial interest in a Global Bond is exchanged for certificated Bonds, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal amount of Bonds represented by such Global Bond shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the
Trustee (if it is then the custodian for such Global Bond) with respect to such Global Bond, by the Trustee or the custodian, to reflect such reduction. 

(g) No Obligation of the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with

examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

This Floating Rate Senior Note due November 28, 2018 is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company, issued and issuable under
the Indenture, dated as of November 29, 2017 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee
under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds thereunder and of the terms and
conditions upon which Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Senior Note is a Bond within the meaning of the Indenture and is designated as the Floating Rate Senior Notes due November 28, 2018, established by the Company
under the Indenture. The acceptance of this Senior Note shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture. 

The interest rate on the Senior Notes will be reset quarterly on February 28, 2018, May 28, 2018 and August 28, 2018 (each, an
“Interest Reset Date”). The Senior Notes will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to three-month LIBOR (as defined below) for the applicable Interest Reset Period or Initial Interest Period (each as defined below) plus 0.23% (23 basis
points). The interest rate for the Initial Interest Period will be three-month LIBOR, determined as of two London Business Days prior to the Issue Date, plus 0.23% (23 basis points) per annum, which shall be [•]%. [However, upon the occurrence
or failure to occur of certain events specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, pay additional interest on the principal amount of this Note
after such event occurs or fails to occur so long as such event continues or fails to occur, as the case may be. Such additional interest shall be payable in addition to any other interest payable from time to time with respect to this Note.]1 
 The “Initial Interest Period” will be the period from and including the Issue
Date to but excluding the initial Interest Reset Date. Thereafter, each “Interest Reset Period” will be the period from and including an Interest Reset Date to but excluding the immediately succeeding Interest Reset Date; provided that the
final Interest Reset Period for the Senior Notes will be the period from and including the Interest Reset Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date of such Senior Notes to but excluding the Maturity Date. 

If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the immediately
succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, the Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. 

The interest rate in effect on each day will be (i) if that day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the
Interest Determination Date (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (ii) if that day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most
recent Interest Reset Date or the Issue Date, as the case may be. 
 The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period commencing
on the related Interest Reset Date, or the Issue Date in the case of the Initial Interest Period, will be the rate determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date. The “Interest Determination Date” will be the second London
Business Day immediately preceding the Issue Date, in the case of the initial Interest Reset Period, or thereafter, will be the second London Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date. With respect to any Interest
Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine three-month LIBOR in accordance with the following provisions: 

(i) LIBOR is the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for the three-month period which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (as
defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date. “Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page” means the display designated on page “LIBOR01” on Reuters Screen (or such other page as may
replace the LIBOR01 page on that service, any successor service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers’

 Ex. 1 - 6 

 
Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits). If no rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date
will be determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (ii) below. 
 (ii) With respect to an Interest
Determination Date on which no rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major
reference banks (which may include affiliates of the underwriters) in the London interbank market selected by the Company to provide the Calculation Agent with a quotation of the rate at which deposits of U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity,
commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date in
a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be the
arithmetic mean of such quotations as calculated by the Calculation Agent. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which may include affiliates of the underwriters) selected by the Company for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having a three-month maturity commencing on the second
London Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however,
that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Company are not quoting such rates as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR for such Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR determined with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Determination
Date. 
 All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Senior Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the
nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar
amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. 
 Promptly
upon such determination, the Calculation Agent will notify the Company and the Trustee (if the Calculation Agent is not the Trustee) of the interest rate for the new Interest Reset Period. Upon request of a Holder of the Senior Notes, the
Calculation Agent will provide to such Holder the interest rate in effect on the date of such request and, if determined, the interest rate for the next Interest Reset Period. 

All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating interest on the Senior Notes shall be conclusive and binding on
the Holders of the Senior Notes and the Company, absent manifest errors. 
 “Business Day” means any day (1) that is not a
Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close in The City of New York and, for any place of payment outside of The City of New York, in such place of payment,
and (2) that is also a “London Business Day”, which is a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. 

Interest will be payable on February 28, 2018, May 28, 2018, August 28, 2018 and on the Maturity Date (each an “Interest
Payment Date”). In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Senior Note (other than the Maturity Date) is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is
a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable, except that if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month,
such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on the date payment was originally payable, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after maturity. 

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest payments, if any, will be the amount of interest accrued from and including the last
date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the Issue Date stated above if no interest has been paid or provided for with respect to this Senior Note) to but excluding

  
 Ex. 1 - 7 

 
the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date. Accrued interest hereon from the Issue Date stated above or from the last date to which interest hereon has been paid is calculated by multiplying
the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day from the Issue Date stated above or from the last date to which interest shall have been paid, to
the date for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360. All percentages resulting from any calculation hereon will be rounded to the
nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five-one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards. For example, 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655). All
dollar amounts used in or resulting from any calculation hereon will be rounded to the nearest cent. 
 The interest rate on the Senior
Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general applicability. 

This Senior Note shall not be subject to redemption prior to its Stated Maturity. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Senior Note or any portion of the principal amount
hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of the Indenture and to be no longer Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there has been irrevocably
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, without regard to any reinvestment thereof,
will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Senior Note when due. 

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that with
respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by the Trustee or the Holders. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental
indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the
time Outstanding, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of more than one series Outstanding under the Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of
one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided,
further, that the Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Senior Note shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior Note and of any Senior Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Senior Note. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Senior Note shall not have the
right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of
Default, the Holders of at least 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee
reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such written request, and shall have failed to
institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Senior Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or
any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

  
 Ex. 1 - 8 

 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Senior Note or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Senior Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Senior Note is registrable in the Bond
Register, upon surrender of this Senior Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Senior Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Senior Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due
presentment of this Senior Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Senior Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not
this Senior Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 This
Senior Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall be
applicable. 
 As provided in the Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest with
respect to this Senior Note, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture or the Registration Rights
Agreement, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor
corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Indenture and all the Bonds are solely
corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of this Senior Note. 

All terms used in this Senior Note which are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of
California (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., as
nominee for The Depository Trust Company, or registered assigns, the Principal Amount stated above on the Maturity Date stated above, and to pay interest thereon from and including the Issue Date stated above or, in the case of a 3.30% Senior Note
due December 1, 2027 issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange, from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates set
forth above and on the Maturity Date stated above, commencing June 1, 2018 at the rate of 3.30% per annum until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment[; provided, however, that, upon the occurrence or failure
to occur of certain events specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, pay additional interest on the principal amount of this Note after such
event occurs or fails to occur so long as such event continues or fails to occur, as the case may be. Such additional interest shall be payable in addition to any other interest payable from time to time with respect to this Note]2. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this 3.30% Senior Note due
December 1, 2027 (this “Senior Note,” and together with all other 3.30% Senior Notes due December 1, 2027, the “Senior Notes”) (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest, which shall be the May 15 and November 15 preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable at the Maturity Date or on a Redemption Date will be paid to the Person
to whom principal is payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Senior Note (or one or
more Predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Senior Notes not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of the Indenture and any securities exchange, if any, on which the Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required
by any such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 
 Payments of interest on this Senior Note will include interest
accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for this Senior Note shall be computed and paid on the basis of the 360-day year of twelve
30-day months and will accrue from November 29, 2017 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. In the event that any date on which interest is
payable on this Senior Note (other than the Maturity Date) is not a Business Day then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any
such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after maturity. 
 Payment of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on Senior Notes shall be made 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. Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Senior Notes represented by a Global Bond shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Holder of such Global Bond, provided that, in the case of payments of principal and premium, if any, such Global Bond is
first surrendered to the Paying Agent. If any of the Senior Notes are no longer represented by a Global Bond, (i) payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due

to registered Holders of at least $10,000,000 in principal amount of Senior Notes at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as such Holders may designate in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days

 Reverse of Senior Note 

This 3.30% Senior Note due December 1, 2027 is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company, issued and issuable in one or more
series under the Indenture, dated as of November 29, 2017 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor
trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds thereunder and of the terms and
conditions upon which Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Senior Note is a Bond within the meaning of the Indenture and is designated as the 3.30% Senior Notes due December 1, 2027 established by the Company under the
Indenture and initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $1,150,000,000 on November 29, 2017. The acceptance of this Senior Note shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and
provisions of the Indenture. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the
Company (“Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part, (a) at any time prior to September 1, 2027 (the date that is three months prior to the Maturity Date) at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: 

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed; or 

(ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of principal and
interest on the Senior Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date), calculated as if the Maturity Date of such Senior Notes was September 1, 2027 (the date that is three months
prior to the Maturity Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 15 basis points, 
 plus, in
either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the Redemption Date; and (b) at any time on or after September 1, 2027 (the date that is three months prior to the Maturity Date) at 100% of the principal
amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the Redemption Date. For purposes of this Senior Note, “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected
by the applicable Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Senior Note, assuming, for such purpose, that this Senior Note matured on September 1, 2027 (the date that is three months prior to the Maturity
Date)), that would be used, at the time of the selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Senior Note. 

Interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to Holders of such Senior Notes, or one or
more Predecessor Bonds, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. 

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be in writing and mailed first-class postage-prepaid not less than 10 days
nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Senior Notes to be redeemed at the Holder’s registered address; provided, however, that such notice need not state the dollar amount of the Redemption Price if
such dollar amount has not been determined as of the date such notice is being given to the Holders of the Senior Notes being redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Senior Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the
Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date such Senior Notes or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. Senior Notes in denominations larger than
$2,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000. 
 In the event of redemption of this Senior
Note in part only, a new Senior Note or Senior Notes of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof. 

  
 Ex. 1 - 17 

 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Senior
Note or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of the Indenture and to be no longer Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and
discharged, if there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due,
without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
this Senior Note when due. 
 If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
Holders); provided, however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further
action by the Trustee or the Holders. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to
enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of more than one series Outstanding under the Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall
directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected,
considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent
or waiver by the Holder of this Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior Note and of any Senior Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Senior Note. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of
the Indenture, the Holder of this Senior Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have
previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of at least 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in
respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such written request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this
Senior Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Senior Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Senior Note is registrable in the Bond
Register, upon surrender of this Senior Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Senior Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Senior Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

  
 Ex. 1 - 18 

 The Senior Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of
$100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Senior Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and of like tenor
of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of the transfer of or the exchange of (A) any Senior Note
of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers of the Senior Notes called for redemption, or (B) any Senior Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of any Senior Note being redeemed in part. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Senior Note for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Senior Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Senior Note is overdue, and neither the
Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 This Senior Note shall be governed by, and construed
and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable. 

As provided in the Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest with respect to this
Senior Note, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture or the Registration Rights Agreement,
against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether
by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Indenture and all the Bonds are solely corporate obligations and
that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of this Senior Note. 

All terms used in this Senior Note which are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of
California (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., as
nominee for The Depository Trust Company, or registered assigns, the Principal Amount stated above on the Maturity Date stated above, and to pay interest thereon from and including the Issue Date stated above or, in the case of a 3.95% Senior Note
due December 1, 2047 issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange, from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates set
forth above and on the Maturity Date stated above, commencing June 1, 2018 at the rate of 3.95% per annum until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment[; provided, however, that, upon the occurrence or failure
to occur of certain events specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, pay additional interest on the principal amount of this Note after such
event occurs or fails to occur so long as such event continues or fails to occur, as the case may be. Such additional interest shall be payable in addition to any other interest payable from time to time with respect to this Note]3. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this 3.95% Senior Note due
December 1, 2047 (this “Senior Note,” and together with all other 3.95% Senior Notes due December 1, 2047, the “Senior Notes”) (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest, which shall be the May 15 and November 15 preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable at the Maturity Date or on a Redemption Date will be paid to the Person
to whom principal is payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Senior Note (or one or
more Predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Senior Notes not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of the Indenture and any securities exchange, if any, on which the Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required
by any such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 
 Payments of interest on this Senior Note will include interest
accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for this Senior Note shall be computed and paid on the basis of the 360-day year of twelve
30-day months and will accrue from November 29, 2017 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. In the event that any date on which interest is
payable on this Senior Note (other than the Maturity Date) is not a Business Day then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any
such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after maturity. 
 Payment of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on Senior Notes shall be made 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. Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Senior Notes represented by a Global Bond shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Holder of such Global Bond, provided that, in the case of payments of principal and premium, if any, such Global Bond is
first surrendered to the Paying Agent. If any of the Senior Notes are no longer represented by a Global Bond, (i) payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due on

the Maturity Date or earlier redemption of such Senior Notes shall be made at the office of the Paying Agent upon surrender of such Senior Notes to the Paying Agent, and (ii) payments of
interest shall be made, at the option of the Company, subject to such surrender where applicable, (A) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Bond Register or (B) by wire transfer
to registered Holders of at least $10,000,000 in principal amount of Senior Notes at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as such Holders may designate in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days
prior to the date for payment. 
 REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS SENIOR NOTE SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF,
WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE.

 Reverse of Senior Note 

This 3.95% Senior Note due December 1, 2047 is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company, issued and issuable in one or more
series under the Indenture, dated as of November 29, 2017 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor
trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds thereunder and of the terms and
conditions upon which Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Senior Note is a Bond within the meaning of the Indenture and is designated as the 3.95% Senior Notes due December 1, 2047 established by the Company under the
Indenture and initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $850,000 on November 29, 2017. The acceptance of this Senior Note shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions
of the Indenture. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company
(“Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part, (a) at any time prior to June 1, 2047 (the date that is six months prior to the Maturity Date) at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: 

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed; or 

(ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of principal and
interest on the Senior Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date), calculated as if the Maturity Date of such Senior Notes was June 1, 2047 (the date that is six months prior to
the Maturity Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 20 basis points, 
 plus, in either of the
above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the Redemption Date; and (b) at any time on or after June 1, 2047 (the date that is six months prior to the Maturity Date) at 100% of the principal amount of the Senior
Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the Redemption Date. For purposes of this Senior Note, “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the applicable
Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of this Senior Note, assuming, for such purpose, that this Senior Note matured on June 1, 2047 (the date that is six months prior to the Maturity Date)), that would be used,
at the time of the selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Senior Note. 

Interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to Holders of such Senior Notes, or one or
more Predecessor Bonds, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. 

In the case of an Optional Redemption, notice of redemption will be in writing and mailed first-class postage-prepaid not less than 10 days
nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Senior Notes to be redeemed at the Holder’s registered address; provided, however, that such notice need not state the dollar amount of the Redemption Price if
such dollar amount has not been determined as of the date such notice is being given to the Holders of the Senior Notes being redeemed. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Senior Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the
Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent or the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date such Senior Notes or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. Senior Notes in denominations larger than
$2,000 in principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000. 
 In the event of redemption of this Senior
Note in part only, a new Senior Note or Senior Notes of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof. 

  
 Ex. 1 - 27 

 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Senior
Note or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of the Indenture and to be no longer Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and
discharged, if there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due,
without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
this Senior Note when due. 
 If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
Holders); provided, however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further
action by the Trustee or the Holders. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to
enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of more than one series Outstanding under the Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall
directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected,
considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent
or waiver by the Holder of this Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior Note and of any Senior Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Senior Note. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of
the Indenture, the Holder of this Senior Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have
previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of at least 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in
respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such written request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this
Senior Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Senior Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Senior Note is registrable in the Bond
Register, upon surrender of this Senior Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Senior Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Senior Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of the transfer of or the exchange of (A) any Senior Note
of this series during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers of the Senior Notes called for redemption, or (B) any Senior Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of any Senior Note being redeemed in part. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Senior Note for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Senior Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Senior Note is overdue, and neither the
Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 This Senior Note shall be governed by, and construed
and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable. 

As provided in the Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest with respect to this
Senior Note, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Indenture or the Registration Rights Agreement,
against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether
by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Indenture and all the Bonds are solely corporate obligations and
that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of this Senior Note.
