and Authentication. At least one Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer
whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless
be valid. A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature
shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. The Trustee shall at any time, and from time
to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto
or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery
pursuant to electronic instructions in PDF from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents. Each Security shall be dated the date
of its authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate.
The aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal
amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant
to Section 2.02, except as provided in Section 2.02 or 2.08. Prior to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have
received and (subject to Section 7.02) shall be fully protected in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto
or Officers’ Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms
of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 10.04
and (c)(1) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.04 or (2) an Opinion of Counsel (or reliance letter with respect to an Opinion
of Counsel) that the Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and such Securities will constitute valid
and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. The Trustee may appoint an authenticating
agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may
do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent
has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

 

Section 2.04 Registrar
and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or places specified with
respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.02, an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for
payment (“Paying Agent”), and where Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
(“Registrar”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and of their transfer
and exchange. The Company hereby appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each Registrar or Paying Agent. The Company may also from time
to time designate one or more co-registrars or additional paying agents and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided,
however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain a Registrar and
a Paying Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.02 for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company will give
prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar
or additional paying agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; and the term “Paying Agent” includes
any additional paying agent. The Company hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Registrar and Paying Agent for each Series unless
another Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued.

 

Section 2.05 Paying Agent
to Hold Money in Trust. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying
Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Holders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for
the payment of principal of or interest on the Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making
any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.
The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying
Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary
of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Holders of any Series of
Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon an Event of Default under Section 6.01(d) or (e), the Trustee shall be the Paying
Agent.

 

Section 2.06 Holder Lists. The
Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses
of Holders of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company
shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten (10) days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request
in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Holders of each
Series of Securities.

 

    7

     

    

 

Section 2.07 Transfer and
Exchange. Where Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer
or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make
the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall
authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange
(except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or
similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon
exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.06 or 9.06). Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the
transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding
the delivery of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the
day of such delivery, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption
as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part.

 

Section 2.08 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and
Stolen Securities.

 

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

 

(b) Upon the issuance of any
new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Every
new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable
by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of
that Series duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights
and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

 

Section 2.09 Outstanding
Securities. The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled
by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance
with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding. If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08,
it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.
If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities
of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease
to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate
of the Company holds the Security. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have
given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security
that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as
of the date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02.

 

Section 2.10 Treasury Securities. In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or
waiver, only Securities of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

 

Section 2.11 Temporary
Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary
Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations
that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee
upon request shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until
so exchanged, temporary securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive Securities.

 

    8

     

    

 

Section 2.12 Cancellation. The
Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee
any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered
for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company
may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

Section 2.13 Defaulted
Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest at
the rate established for the particular Series, if any, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any interest payable on the defaulted interest,
to the persons who are Holders of the Series on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix the special record date and payment
date; provided that if no rate for defaulted interest is specified for any Series of Securities, then the defaulted interest rate shall
be the interest rate specified for such Series of Securities. At least ten (10) days before the special record date, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee and to each Holder of the Series a notice that states the record date, the related payment date and the amount
of interest to be paid. The Company may also pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner.

 

Section 2.14 Global Securities.

 

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

 

(b) Transfer and Exchange.
Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.07 of the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security
shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depositary
for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either
case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such
event, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall
be so exchangeable or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented by such Global Security shall have happened
and be continuing. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered
in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security
with like tenor and terms.

 

(c) Except as provided in
this Section 2.14(c), a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security
to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary
or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    9

     

    

 

(f) Payments. Notwithstanding
the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.02, payment of the principal of and interest,
if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof.

 

(g) Consents, Declaration
and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.14(g), the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such
principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement
of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required
to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture.

 

(h) The Depositary or its
nominee, as registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture and
the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures.
Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in a Global Security will be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest
shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee and such owners of beneficial interests in a Global
Security will not be considered the owners or holders thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security,
where this Indenture or any Global Security provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) to a Holder
of a Global Security (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary (or its designee)
pursuant to the standing instructions from the Depositary or its designee, including by electronic mail in accordance with applicable
Depositary procedures.

 

Section 2.15 CUSIP Numbers. The
Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP”
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as
to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance
may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by
any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in “CUSIP” numbers
of which the Company becomes aware.

  

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION

 

Section 3.01 Notice to
Trustee. The Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities
or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on
such terms as provided for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem
prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify
the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of the Series of Securities to be redeemed.

 

Section 3.02 Selection
of Securities to be Redeemed. Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture
or an Officers’ Certificate, if less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities
of the Series to be redeemed in any manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities
of the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. Securities of a Series and portions selected for redemption shall be in
amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to
Section 2.02(j), the minimum principal denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that
apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called for redemption. The Trustee
shall not be liable for the selection made in accordance with this Section 3.02.

 

    10

     

    

 

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

 

(a) Unless otherwise specified
for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, at least 30 days but not more
than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall deliver notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed.
The notice shall identify the Securities of the Series to be redeemed and shall state:

 

(i) the redemption date;

 

(ii) the redemption price or
the manner of the calculation of the redemption price;

 

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

 

(iv) that Securities of the
Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

 

(v) that interest on Securities
of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

 

(vi) the CUSIP number, if any;
and

 

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

 

At the Company’s request,
the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided that the Company shall have delivered
to the Trustee, at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as the Trustee may consent to in writing) before notice of redemption
is required to be delivered or caused to be delivered to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03, an Officers’ Certificate of the
Company requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the
preceding paragraph.

 

Section 3.04 Effect of
Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is delivered as provided in Section 3.03, Securities of a Series called for redemption
become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender
to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date; provided that
installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities
(or one or more predecessor Securities) registered at the close of business on the relevant record date therefor according to their terms
and the terms of this Indenture.

 

Section 3.05 Deposit of
Redemption Price. Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’
Certificate, on or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money
sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date.

 

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

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

 

(c) default in the performance
or breach of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty for which the consequences of

Section 6.02 Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding
occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.01(d) or (e)), then in every such case the Trustee or
the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount

the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article; provided that the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Securities of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration
and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the principal and
interest, if any, of Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived
as provided in Section 6.13. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

    13

     

    

 

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

 

The Company covenants that
if:

 

(a) default is made in the
payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days,
or

 

(b) default is made in the
payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof, then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit
of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest and, to the extent
that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and any overdue interest at the rate or
rates prescribed therefor in such Securities and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and
expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

 

If the Company fails to pay
such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding
for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against
the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or deemed to be payable in the manner provided by
law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

 

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

 

Section 6.04 Trustee May

adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property
of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall
then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any
demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding
or otherwise, (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities

expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

 

Section 6.05 Trustee May
Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be
prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating

of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

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

 

Second: To the payment of
the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money

Third: To the Company.

 

Section 6.07 Limitation
on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any Series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with
respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

 

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

 

(b) the Holders of at least
a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

 

(c) such Holder or Holders
shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
in compliance with such request;

 

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

 

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

 

it being understood and intended that no one or
more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other
of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit
of all such Holders.

 

Section 6.08 Unconditional
Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such
Security on the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date)
and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 

Section 6.09 Restoration
of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this
Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to
such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall
be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the
Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

 

    15

     

    

 

Section 6.10 Rights and
Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Securities in Section 2.08, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to
be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition
to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment
of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment
of any other appropriate right or remedy.

 

Section 6.11 Delay or Omission
Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon
any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

 

Section 6.12 Control by
Holders. Subject to Section 7.02(f), the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series
shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such Series, provided that:

 

(a) such direction shall not
be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,

 

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

 

(c) subject to the provisions
of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

 

Section 6.13 Waiver of
Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may on
behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such Series waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences,
except a Default (i) in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including
any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration) or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security of such Series affected. Upon any such waiver, such
Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section 6.14 Undertaking
for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to
have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture,
or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses
made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted
by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount
of the outstanding Securities of any Series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal
of or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption,
on the redemption date).

ARTICLE VII  

TRUSTEE

 

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

 

(a) If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree

own affairs.

 

(b) Except during the continuance

on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely and is fully protected, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions

of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any provisions hereof
are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of
Counsel to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy
of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein) .

(f) The Trustee shall be under
no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders

(h) The Trustee shall not
be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default, other than a failure by the Company to make any payment hereunder when due
if the Trustee is the Paying Agent, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice

of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties.

 

(j) In no event shall the
Trustee be responsible or liable for any special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, lost profits) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage
and regardless of the form of action.

 

(k) Neither the Trustee nor
any Agent shall be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligation under this Indenture arising out

Section 7.03 Individual
Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may
otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may
do the same with like rights. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

 

    18

     

    

 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s
Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall
not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement
in the Securities other than its authentication.

 

Section 7.05 Notice of
Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series and if it is
known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to each Holder of the Securities of that Series notice of a Default
or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such Default
or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security of any
Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests
of Holders of that Series.

 

Section 7.06 Reports by
Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after March 15 in each year, the Trustee shall transmit by deliver to all Holders, as their
names and addresses appear on the register kept by the Registrar a brief report dated as of such March 15, in accordance with, and to
the extent required under, TIA Section 313. A copy of each report at the time of its delivery to Holders of any Series shall be filed
with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Securities of that Series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee
when Securities of any Series are listed on any stock exchange.

 

Section 7.07 Compensation
and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee
shall from time to time agree upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee
of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such
expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Company shall indemnify
each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (including the cost of defending itself) against any loss, liability or expense, including
taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it except as set forth in this
Section 7.07 in the performance of its duties under this Indenture as Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly
of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure or delay by the Trustee to so notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek
indemnity shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure or delay shall have materially
prejudiced the Company. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate
counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without
its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders
and agents of the Trustee. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee
or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such
persons as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or (e) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any insolvency, bankruptcy or similar law. The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation
or removal of the Trustee and the termination or discharge of this Indenture.

 

Section 7.08 Replacement
of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the
successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. The Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities
of one or more Series by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and
the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of one or more Series if:

 

(a) the Trustee fails to comply
with Section 7.10;

 

(b) the Trustee is adjudged
bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any insolvency, bankruptcy or similar law;

 

    19

     

    

 

(c) a custodian or public
officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

 

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable
of acting.

 

If the Trustee resigns or
is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

 

If a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,
the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

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

 

Section 7.09 Successor
Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its
corporate trust business (including administration of this Indenture) to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further
act shall be the successor Trustee.

 

Section 7.10 Eligibility;
Disqualification. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and
(5) and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b).

 

Section 7.11 Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed
in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

would have been required to be deposited for the purpose for which such U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations
or money were deposited or received. This provision shall not authorize the sale by the Trustee of any U.S. Government Obligations or
Foreign Government Obligations held under this Indenture.

 

Section 8.03 Legal Defeasance
of Securities of any Series. Unless this Section 8.03 is otherwise specified, pursuant to Section 2.02(s), to be inapplicable

confirm that, the Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as
a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred;

 

(h) the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring
the Holders of the Securities of such Series over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying
or defrauding any other creditors of the Company;

delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided

of 1940, as amended, unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder.

 

Section 8.04 Covenant Defeasance. Unless
this Section 8.04 is otherwise specified, pursuant to Section 2.02(s), to be inapplicable to Securities of any Series, on and after the
91st day after the date of the deposit referred to in subparagraph (a) hereof, the Company may omit to comply with respect to the Securities

specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officers’ Certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 2.02 (and the failure to comply with any such covenants shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect
to such Series under Section 6.01) and the occurrence of any event specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities
or a Board Resolution or an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02 and designated as an Event of Default shall
not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder, with respect to the Securities of such Series, provided that the following conditions
shall have been satisfied:

 

(a) with reference to this
Section 8.04, the Company has deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited (except as provided in Section 8.02(c)) with the Trustee
as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to,
the benefit of the Holders of such Securities (i) in the case of Securities of such Series denominated in Dollars, cash in Dollars and/or
U.S. Government Obligations, or (ii) in the case of Securities of such Series denominated in a Foreign Currency (other than a composite

with their terms, will provide (and without reinvestment and assuming no tax liability will be imposed on such Trustee), not later than
one day before the due date of any payment of money, an amount in cash, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each
installment of principal of and interest, if any, on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the Securities of such Series
on the dates such installments of interest or principal and such sinking fund payments are due;

 

    22

result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company

Default with respect to the Securities of such Series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the

had not occurred;

delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided

of 1940, as amended, unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder.

 

Section 8.05 Repayment
to Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment
of principal and interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and after such time, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company
for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

 

Section 8.06 Reinstatement. If
the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money deposited with respect to Securities of any series in accordance with Section
8.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such
series and under the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01
until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.01; provided, however,
that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities
because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive
such payment from the money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

(a) to evidence the succession
of another person to the Company under this Indenture and the Securities and the assumption by any such Successor Person of the obligations
of the Company hereunder and under the Securities;

 

(b) to add covenants of the
Company for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than
all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included for the benefit of such series) or to surrender any
right or power herein conferred upon the Company provided such action does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders;

 

    23

     

    

 

(c) to add any additional
Events of Default;

 

(d) to add to or change any
of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities in bearer
form, registrable or not registrable as to principal, and with or without interest coupons, or to permit or facilitate the issuance of
Securities in uncertificated form;

 

(e) to add to, change or eliminate
any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities, provided that any such addition, change or elimination
(A) shall neither (i) apply to any Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to
the benefit of such provision nor (ii) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or (B) shall
become effective only when there is no such Security Outstanding;

 

(f) to establish the forms
or terms of the Securities of any series issued pursuant to the terms hereof;

 

(g) to cure any ambiguity
or correct any inconsistency in this Indenture;

hereunder by more than one Trustee;

 

  (i) to qualify this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

 

(j) to provide for uncertificated
securities in addition to certificated securities;

 

(k) to supplement any provisions
of this Indenture necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of any series of Securities, provided that such action
does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series or any other series;

 

(l) to conform the Indenture
to any Description of Securities for a particular Series of Securities; and

 

(m) to comply with the rules
or regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the Securities may be listed or traded.

 

Section 9.02 With Consent
of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Holders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer
or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities
with respect to such Series. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance
thereof. After a supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to the Holders of Securities
affected thereby a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to deliver such notice,
or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

 

Section 9.03 Limitations. Unless
otherwise specified for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, without
the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not:

 

(a) reduce the amount of Securities
whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

 

    24

     

    

 

(b) reduce the rate of or
extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any Security;

 

(c) reduce the principal or
change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or
analogous obligation;

 

(d) reduce the principal amount
of Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof;

 

(e) waive a Default or Event
of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities
of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series and a waiver of the
payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

 

(f) make the principal of
or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency other than that stated in the Security;

 

(g) make any change in Sections
6.08, 6.13, or 9.03; or

 

(h) waive a redemption payment
with respect to any Security.

 

Section 9.04 Compliance
with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental
indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

 

Section 9.05 Revocation
and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment is set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent
to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security
that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However,
any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice
of revocation before the date of the supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective. Any amendment or waiver once effective
shall bind every Holder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (a) through
(h) of Section 9.03. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent
Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.

 

Section 9.06 Notation on
or Exchange of Securities. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any
Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon
request new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver.

 

Section 9.07 Trustee Protected. In
executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby
of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall receive, in addition to the documents required by Section 10.04, and (subject
to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent in this Indenture
to the execution of such supplemental indenture, if any, have been complied with, such supplemental indenture is authorized hereunder,
and, that such supplemental indenture is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental
indentures, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

Series or all Series affected by a particular action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any
Series which are denominated in a coin or currency other than Dollars, then the principal amount of Securities of such Series which shall

at the Market Exchange Rate at such time. For purposes of this Section 10.15, “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the

determination provided for in the preceding paragraph shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, to

it will provide the Trustee with such information as it may reasonably request as required in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements
of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING AS BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE ONLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS

ARTICLE XI  

SINKING FUNDS

 

Section 11.01 Applicability
of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a
Series, except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this Indenture. The minimum
amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a “mandatory
sinking fund payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is herein referred to as an
“optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series, the cash amount of any sinking
fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of
Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such Series.

 

    28

     

    

 

Section 11.02 Satisfaction
of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with
respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such
Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund
redemption) and (2) apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased
by the Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to
any mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant
to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received
by the Trustee, together with an Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the
Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price
specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be
reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.02, the
principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000,
the Trustee need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such action be taken,
and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company
any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that Series
purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Company.

 

Section 11.03 Redemption
of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 45 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture
or Officers’ Certificate in respect of a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series
of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory
sinking fund payment for that Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment
of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that Series pursuant to
Section 11.02, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Company
shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution,
Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities) before each such sinking fund payment
date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02
and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section
3.03. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections
3.04, 3.05 and 3.06.

In the event that the Committee determines that the Grantee engaged in any of the foregoing activities that are grounds for termination for Cause at any time, the Committee may determine that the Grantee’s termination of employment was a termination for Cause, even if not so designated at the date of termination.
c.Involuntary Termination.
i.Except as provided in Sections 2(d) and 2(e) below, if the Grantee incurs an Involuntary Termination during the period beginning six months after the Grant Date and ending six months prior to the Vesting Date, then on the Vesting Date the Grantee will vest in a number of Restricted Stock Units with respect to the Pro-Rata Target Award (as defined below), based on the LTI BV Performance through the end of the BV Performance Period.

A termination by the Grantee for Good Reason under the Grantee’s executive severance agreement shall be deemed to be an Involuntary Termination.  For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Good Reason” shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Grantee’s executive severance agreement. 
d.Death or Disability.  In the event of the Grantee’s death or Disability while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units will automatically vest at the Target Award level (or, if a Change of Control has occurred, at the CoC Performance Level (as described in Section 4 of Schedule A)) on the date of the Grantee’s death or Disability, as applicable.

The date of Disability for purposes of these Terms and Conditions is the date on which the Grantee commences to receive such long-term disability benefits.  In the event that the Grantee is not in active service on the Grant Date (for example, on account of short-term disability) and the Grantee does not return to the Company and complete 30 days of active service with the Company prior to the Vesting Date, the award will be forfeited.

2022 BV Performance Section 16 Officers

e.Change of Control. 
i.If a Change of Control occurs prior to the Vesting Date, the Restricted Stock Units will vest at the CoC Performance Level on the Vesting Date, provided that, except as set forth in subsections (ii) and (iii) below, the Grantee remains employed by the Company or a Subsidiary through the Vesting Date.         
ii.If, prior to the Vesting Date, a Change of Control occurs and the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause, or the Grantee terminates employment for Good Reason, and the Grantee’s date of termination of employment (or in the event of the Grantee’s termination for Good Reason, the event giving rise to Good Reason) occurs during the period beginning on the date that is 90 days before the Change of Control and ending on the date that is one year following the Change of Control, the unvested Restricted Stock Units will automatically vest at the CoC Performance Level as of the Grantee’s date of termination of employment (or, if later, on the date of the Change of Control).  If the Grantee’s employment terminates on account of an Involuntary Termination as described in Section 2(c) (other than an Involuntary Termination within six months following the Grant Date) more than 90 days before the Change of Control, and a Change of Control subsequently occurs prior to the Vesting Date, then on the date of the Change of Control, the Grantee will vest in a Pro-Rata Target Award based on performance at the CoC Performance Level on the date of the Change of Control; provided that if Section 2(c)(ii) applies, the Grantee will vest in the Restricted Stock Units at the CoC Performance Level and no pro-ration will apply. 
iii.If the Grantee’s employment terminates on account of Retirement before a Change of Control, and a Change of Control subsequently occurs prior to the Vesting Date, the outstanding Restricted Stock Units will vest on the date of the Change of Control at the CoC Performance Level.  If the Grantee’s employment terminates on account of Retirement on or after a Change of Control, the Restricted Stock Units will vest at the CoC Performance Level on the Grantee’s Retirement date.
f.Cause.  Notwithstanding anything in these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, in the event the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary for Cause, all outstanding Restricted Stock Units held by the Grantee shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect.
g.Other Termination.  Except as provided in Sections 2(b), 2(c), 2(d) and 2(e), in the event of a termination of employment, the Grantee will forfeit all unvested Restricted Stock Units.

2022 BV Performance Section 16 Officers

Dividend equivalents shall be credited on the Restricted Stock Units when dividends are declared on shares of Common Stock from the Grant Date until the payment date for the Restricted Stock Units.  The Company will keep records of dividend equivalents in a non-interest bearing bookkeeping account for the Grantee.  No interest will be credited to any such account.  Accrued dividend equivalents on vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in cash within 90 days after the Vesting Date or, if earlier, on the payment date for the Restricted Stock Units under Section 5(b).  Any dividend equivalents that accrue with respect to vested Restricted Stock Units during the period after the Vesting Date and before the date on which the Restricted Stock Units are paid as described in Section 5 shall be paid in cash upon the payment date for the applicable dividend on shares of Common Stock.  If and to the extent that the underlying Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, all related dividend equivalents shall also be forfeited. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee elects to defer payment of the Restricted Stock Units under a Company deferred compensation plan, the payment date for accrued dividend equivalents will be determined based on the terms of the applicable deferred compensation plan.
1.Conversion of Restricted Stock Units.  
a.Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, if the Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive payment of the vested Restricted Stock Units within 90 days after the one-year anniversary of the Vesting Date (the one-year anniversary of the Vesting Date is referred to as the “Distribution Date”). 
b.The vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid earlier than the Distribution Date in the following circumstances:
i.If (A) the Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with Section 2(d) (the Grantee’s death or Disability), or (B) the Grantee dies or incurs a Disability after the Vesting Date but before the Distribution Date, the vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid within 90 days after the date of the Grantee’s death or Disability, as applicable. 
ii.If the Grantee’s employment terminates in accordance with Section 2(e)(ii) or 2(e)(iii) and a Change of Control subsequently occurs before the Distribution Date, the vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid within 90 days after the date of the Change of Control.
iii.If the Grantee’s employment terminates in accordance with Section 2(e)(ii) or 2(e)(iii) upon or after a Change of Control that occurs before the Distribution Date, the vested Restricted Stock Units shall be paid within 90 days after the Grantee’s separation from service with the Company and its Subsidiaries.    
iv.Notwithstanding subsections (ii) and (iii), if the Change of Control is not a “change in control event” under section 409A of the Code, and if required by section 409A of the Code, payment will not be made on the dates described in subsections (ii) and (iii) and, instead, will be made within 90 days after the Distribution Date.   In addition, if required by section 409A of the Code, if the separation from service described in subsection (iii) does not occur within two years after a Change of Control that is a “change in control event” under section 409A of the Code, payment will instead be made within 90 days after the Distribution Date.
c.On the applicable payment date, each vested Restricted Stock Unit credited to the Grantee’s account shall be settled in whole shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the number of vested Restricted Stock Units, subject to (i) the 

2022 BV Performance Section 16 Officers

limitation of subsection (d) below, (ii) compliance with the six-month delay described in Section 17 below, if applicable, and (iii) the payment of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes as described in Section 13 below, and subject to compliance with the restrictive covenants in Section 7 below.  The obligation of the Company to distribute shares shall be subject to the rights of the Company as set forth in the Plan and to all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the Committee, including as set forth in Section 15 below.
d.For the avoidance of doubt, the Grantee will forfeit all Restricted Stock Units if the Grantee’s employment is terminated for Cause prior to the Distribution Date or other applicable payment date under this Section 5.
e.Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee elects to defer payment of the Restricted Stock Units under the Company’s applicable deferred compensation plan, payment shall be made in the form and at the time specified under such plan.
2.Certain Corporate Changes. 
If any change is made to the Common Stock (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, or exchange of shares or any other change in capital structure made without receipt of consideration), then unless such event or change results in the termination of all the Restricted Stock Units granted under these Terms and Conditions, the Committee shall adjust, as provided in the Plan, the number and class of shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units held by the Grantee, the maximum number of shares for which the Restricted Stock Units may vest, the share price or class of Common Stock for purposes of the BV Performance Goals, in each case, as appropriate to reflect the effect of such event or change in the Company’s capital structure in such a way as to preserve the value of the Restricted Stock Units.  Any adjustment that occurs under the terms of this Section 6 or the Plan will not change the timing or form of payment with respect to any Restricted Stock Units except in accordance with section 409A of the Code.
1.Restrictive Covenants.

The Code of Conduct and Ethics, including any future revisions to the Code of Conduct and Ethics, are incorporated into and made a part of these Terms and Conditions as if fully set forth herein.
b.The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee’s relationship with the Company and its Affiliates is one of confidence and trust such that the Grantee is, and may in the future be, privy to and/or the Grantee will develop Confidential Information and Trade Secrets of the Company or any of its Affiliates.  Subject to the provisions of subsection (j), the Grantee agrees that, at all times during the Grantee’s employment and after the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates terminates for any reason, whether by the Grantee or by the Company or any of its Affiliates, the Grantee will hold in strictest confidence and will not disclose, use, or publish any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, except as and only to the extent such disclosure, use, or publication is required during the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates for 

2022 BV Performance Section 16 Officers

the Grantee to fulfill the Grantee’s job duties and responsibilities to the Company or any of its Affiliates.

The Grantee hereby assigns to the Company any rights the Grantee may have or acquire in Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, whether developed by the Grantee or others, and the Grantee acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential Information and Trade Secrets shall be the sole property of the Company and its assigns.

The Grantee further agrees that, given the nature of the business of the Company and its Affiliates and the Grantee’s position with the Company, a nationwide geographic scope is appropriate and reasonable.  
i.The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that, during the term of the Grantee’s employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates and during the Restricted Period, the Grantee shall not, directly or indirectly through others, (i) hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates, (ii) solicit or attempt to solicit any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to become an employee, consultant, or independent contractor to, for, or of any other person or business entity, or (iii) solicit or attempt to solicit any employee, or any consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Affiliates to change or terminate his or her relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates, unless in each case more than six months shall have elapsed between the last day of such person’s employment or service with the Company or any of its Affiliates and the first date of such solicitation or hiring or attempt to solicit or hire.  If any employee, consultant, or independent contractor is hired or solicited by any entity that has hired or agreed to hire the Grantee, such hiring or solicitation shall be conclusively presumed to be a violation of these Terms and Conditions; provided, however, that any hiring or solicitation pursuant to a general solicitation conducted by an entity that has hired or agreed to hire the

2.encourage any customer for whom the Company or any of its Affiliates provided goods or services within 12 months prior to the Grantee’s date of termination to reduce the level or amount of business such customer conducts with the Company or any of its Affiliates.
iii.The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the business of the Company and its Affiliates is highly competitive, that the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets have been developed by the Company or any of its Affiliates at significant expense and effort, and that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company or any of its Affiliates.  
iv.The parties to these Terms and Conditions acknowledge and agree that any breach by the Grantee of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Section 7 will result in irreparable injury to the Company or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, for which money damages could not adequately compensate such entity.  Therefore, the Company or any of its Affiliates shall have the right (in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have at law or in equity and in addition to the forfeiture requirements set forth in subsection (h) below) to seek to enforce this Section 7 and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company or any of its Affiliates may have for a breach, or threatened breach, of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 7.  The Grantee agrees that in any action in which the Company or any of its Affiliates seeks injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, the Grantee will not assert or contend that any of the provisions of this Section 7 are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable.

v.The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that in the event the Grantee breaches any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Section 7 or the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate for Cause, including a determination by the Committee that the Grantee has engaged in any activity, at any time, that would be grounds for termination of the Grantee’s employment for Cause:
            (i)        The Committee may in its discretion determine that the Grantee shall forfeit the outstanding Restricted Stock Units (without regard to whether the Restricted Stock Units have vested, except as to the vested shares where forfeiture of vested shares is expressly prohibited by law), and the outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall immediately terminate, and
            (ii)       The Committee may in its discretion require the Grantee to return to the Company any shares of Common Stock received in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units; provided, that if the Grantee has disposed of any shares of Common Stock received upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, then the Committee may require the Grantee to pay to the Company, in cash, the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock as of the date of disposition.   The Committee shall exercise the right of recoupment provided in this subsection (h)(ii) within (x) 180 days after the Committee’s discovery of the Grantee’s breach of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Section 7 or (y) within 180 days after the later of (A) the Grantee’s termination of employment by the Company or an Affiliate for Cause, or (B) the Committee’s discovery of circumstances that, if known to the Committee, would have been grounds for termination for Cause; provided, however, that this right of recoupment shall not limit the Board’s recoupment authority under any applicable clawback or recoupment policy of the Board.
i.If any portion of the covenants or agreements contained in this Section 7, the specific forfeiture provisions related to vested shares, or the application thereof, is construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the other portions of such covenants or agreements or the application thereof shall not be affected and shall be given full force and effect without regard to the invalid or unenforceable portions to the fullest extent possible.  If any covenant or agreement in this Section 7 is held to be unenforceable because of the duration thereof or the scope thereof, then the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and limit the scope thereof, and the covenant or agreement shall then be enforceable in its reduced form.  The covenants and agreements contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates and shall survive the termination of these Terms and Conditions. 
ii.Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, including any restrictions on the use of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, shall prohibit or restrict the Grantee from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiry from, providing testimony before, providing confidential information to, reporting possible violations of law or regulation to, or filing a claim or assisting with an investigation directly with a self-regulatory organization or a government agency or entity, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress, any agency Inspector General or any other federal, state or local regulatory authority, or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation. Nor do these Terms and Conditions require the Grantee to obtain prior authorization from the Company before engaging in any 

2022 BV Performance Section 16 Officers

conduct described in this subsection (j), or to notify the Company that the Grantee has engaged in any such conduct. To the extent permitted by law and except as provided above in this subsection (j), upon receipt of any subpoena, court order, or other legal process compelling the disclosure of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, the Grantee agrees to give prompt written notice to the Company so as to permit the Company to protect its interests in confidentiality to the fullest extent possible.  Please take notice that federal law provides criminal and civil immunity to federal and state claims for trade secret misappropriation to individuals who disclose a trade secret to their attorney, a court, or a government official in certain, confidential circumstances that are set forth at 18 U.S.C. §§ 1833(b)(1) and 1833(b)(2), related to the reporting or investigation of a suspected violation of the law, or in connection with a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of the law.
iii.Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed to constitute the grant of any license or other right to the Grantee in respect of any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets or other data, tangible property, or intellectual property of the Company or any of its Affiliates.
iv.Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the Grantee violate any of the restrictive covenants of these Terms and Conditions, then the period of the Grantee’s breach of such covenant (“Violation Period”) shall stop the running of the corresponding Restricted Period.  Once the Grantee resumes compliance with the restrictive covenant, the Restricted Period applicable to such covenant shall be extended for a period equal to the Violation Period so that the Company enjoys the full benefit of the Grantee’s compliance with the restrictive covenant for the duration of the corresponding Restricted Period.
v.In the event of a conflict between the terms of the confidentiality, non-competition or non-solicitation covenants in this Section 7 and a confidentiality, non-competition or non-solicitation covenant in a prior stock option, restricted stock unit or other equity grant agreement between the Grantee and the Company, the confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation covenants in this Section 7 shall control as of the Grant Date.

a.Cancellation or Amendment.  
This award may be canceled or amended by the Committee, in whole or in part, in accordance with the applicable terms of the Plan.

Notwithstanding anything in these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, if the Restricted Stock Units constitute “deferred compensation” under section 409A of the Code and the Restricted Stock Units become vested and settled upon the Grantee’s termination of employment, payment with respect to the Restricted Stock Units shall be delayed for a period of six months after the Grantee’s termination of employment if the Grantee is a “specified employee” as defined under section 409A of the Code (as determined by the Committee) and if required pursuant to section 409A of the Code.  If payment is delayed, the shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be distributed within 30 days of the date that is the six-month anniversary of the Grantee’s termination of employment.  If the Grantee dies during the six-month delay, the shares shall be distributed in accordance with the Grantee’s will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, payments made with respect to this award of Restricted Stock Units may only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted by section 409A of the Code, and all payments to be made upon a termination of employment hereunder may only be made upon a “separation from service” as defined under section 409A of the Code.  To the extent that any provision of these Terms and Conditions would cause a conflict with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, or would cause the administration of the Restricted Stock Units to fail to satisfy the requirements of section 409A of the Code, such provision shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by applicable law.  In no event shall the Grantee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.  If the Restricted Stock Units constitute “deferred compensation” under section 409A of the Code and payment is subject to the execution of a release of claims in favor of the Company and its Affiliates, and if payment with respect to the Restricted Stock Units that is subject to the execution of the release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused its duly authorized officer to execute and attest this instrument, and the Grantee has placed his or her signature hereon, effective as of the Grant Date set forth above.

By electronically acknowledging and accepting this award of Restricted Stock Units following the date of the Company’s electronic notification to the Grantee, the Grantee (a) acknowledges receipt of the Plan incorporated herein, (b) acknowledges that he or she has read the Award Summary delivered in connection with this grant of Restricted Stock Units and these Terms and Conditions and understands the terms and conditions of them, (c) accepts the award of the Restricted Stock Units described in these Terms and Conditions, (d) agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and these Terms and Conditions, and (e) agrees that all decisions and determinations of the Committee with respect to the Restricted Stock Units shall be final and binding. 

Schedule A
BV Performance Goals
1.Calculation of LTI Book Value per Share.  Except as set forth in Section 4 below, vesting of the Restricted Stock Units will be based on the Company’s cumulative growth in LTI Book Value per Share (as defined below) over the BV Performance Period beginning on March 31, 2022 and ending on March 31, 2025 as compared to the following reference points:									
			
	Cumulative Growth in LTI Book Value per Share (1)
		Payout Percentage(1)
(Percentage of Target Award)

	355%
		200%
	40%		100%
	<15%(2)
		0%

(1) If the Company’s cumulative growth in LTI Book Value per Share falls between two referenced percentages, the payout percentage will be interpolated.  Cumulative growth in LTI Book Value per Share will be calculated by dividing the LTI Book Value per Share on the last day of the BV Performance Period (or the projected LTI Book Value per Share in the case of a Change of Control, as described below), by the LTI Book Value per Share on the first day of the BV Performance Period, expressed as a percentage, minus 100%.

(2) The LTI Book Value per Share on the first day of the BV Performance Period (March 31, 2022) was $24.49.  If the Company’s cumulative growth in LTI Book Value per Share is less than 15%, the payout percentage will be zero.

The Company’s “LTI Book Value per Share” is defined as: (i) Book Value adjusted to exclude (A) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and (B) the impact, if any, during the BV Performance Period (or through the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the fiscal quarter in which the Change of Control occurs, if applicable) from declared dividends on common shares and dividend equivalents on outstanding equity awards, divided by (ii) basic shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding as of the applicable measurement date.  The LTI Book Value per Share shall be derived from the Company’s financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the adjustments described above.

1.General Vesting Terms.  Any fractional Restricted Stock Unit resulting from the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units in accordance with these Terms and Conditions shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.  Any portion of the Restricted Stock Units

that does not vest as of the end of the BV Performance Period shall be forfeited as of the end of the BV Performance Period.

1.Maximum Vesting and Payment.  In no event shall the maximum number of Restricted Stock Units that may be payable pursuant to these Terms and Conditions exceed 200% of the Target Award.

1.Change of Control Vesting.  If a Change of Control occurs prior to the end of the BV Performance Period, the Committee will calculate the “CoC Performance Level,” based on the Company’s projected LTI Book Value per Share through the end of the BV Performance Period, projected as of the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the fiscal quarter in which the Change of Control occurs, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.  If a Change of Control occurs after the end of the BV Performance Period and before the Vesting Date, the CoC Performance Level will be calculated based on attainment of the BV Performance Goals through the end of the BV Performance Period.  Any Restricted Stock Units that do not vest at the CoC Performance Level shall be forfeited as of the date of the Change of Control.
