Employment Agreement effective January 1, 2004 with Mitchell Stern

 EXHIBIT 10.6 
  
 As of January 1, 2004 
  
 Mr. Mitchell Stern 
 27 Sandune Court 
 P.O. Box 258 
 Sagaponack, NY 11962 
  
 Dear Mitch: 
  
 This letter agreement (“Agreement”) provides the terms of your employment with DIRECTV Holdings LLC (the
“Company”). 
  

	1.	(a) The Company hereby employs you for a period of four years commencing on the date hereof and ending on the fourth anniversary hereof (the “Term”).

  
 (b) If you continue in the employ of the
Company after the end of the Term and an extension of your employment has not been negotiated, your employment shall be on an at-will basis at the weekly salary rate paid during your last regular pay period hereunder. 
  

	2.	(a) For your services hereunder the Company will, on regular pay dates as then in effect under applicable Company policy, pay you a base salary at the rate of $2,000,000 per annum,
subject to annual increase in the sole discretion of the Company. 

  
 (b) You shall also receive an annual bonus based on the achievement of certain targets established by the CEO of The DIRECTV Group, Inc. (“DTV”) pursuant to a cash bonus plan (“Cash Plan”) for
executive officers of DTV, to be established with the approval of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of DTV. If you achieve such targets, your annual bonus shall be no less than 100% of your then current salary (the “Target
Bonus”). You acknowledge that such Cash Plan is also subject to approval by the stockholders of DTV and no payments shall be made pursuant to such Cash Plan until and unless the Cash Plan shall have been so approved. However, if such approval
is not so obtained by December 31, 2004, the Company will provide you with alternative cash incentive compensation arrangements which would enable you to receive (if applicable targets are achieved) the Target Bonus subject to approval of the
Compensation Committee of DTV (or its designee) to such alternative compensation arrangements. 

 Mr. Mitchell Stern 
 As of
January 1, 2004 
 Page 2 
  
 (c) It is anticipated that DTV will adopt a stock incentive plan, which will provide for the granting of equity awards including stock options, restricted
stock or restricted stock units (such plan if so adopted, is referred to as the “Stock Plan”). Subject to approval of the Stock Plan by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of DTV, you shall be granted 650,000 restricted
stock units (the “Units”) pursuant to such Stock Plan, with the terms and conditions of the grant to be established by the Compensation Committee (or its designee) in accordance with the Stock Plan. You acknowledge that such Stock Plan is
also subject to approval by the stockholders of DTV and the Units shall not vest or be exercisable, nor shall any payments be made in respect thereof, until and unless the Stock Plan shall have been so approved. However, if such approval is not so
obtained by December 31, 2004, DTV or the Company will provide you with alternative compensation arrangements in an amount equal to the value of the Units, subject to approval of the Compensation Committee of DTV (or its designee) as to such
alternative compensation arrangements. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, you shall receive a minimum payment (the “Minimum Payment”) of $5.0 million in aggregate compensation (i.e., base salary, annual bonus and Units), for each year or partial year (on a pro-rata
basis) you are employed under this Agreement. For purposes of determining the value of the Units under this paragraph 2(d), all Units granted shall be valued as of the date of vesting. 
  
 (e) You shall receive vacation and other perquisites (including reimbursement for first class travel and appropriate hotel
and entertainment expenses) and all other benefits generally commensurate with comparable executives of the Company, except that you will not be entitled to any car allowance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the pension
and welfare benefits to be provided will, in the aggregate, be of no less value to you than those currently being provided by News America Incorporated (“NAI”) at January 1, 2004. The Company agrees that in the event this Agreement is
terminated for any reason other than for cause, it will, to the fullest extent permitted by DTV’s pension and health plans, provide you at age 55 with retiree medical benefits in the same manner as you would have received had you continued your
employment with the Company until you reached age 55. You shall also receive excess liability insurance of no less than $10 million. The Company will bear all reasonable transaction costs incurred by you in connection with you purchasing a residence
in Manhattan, consistent with those costs for which NAI reimbursed you in connection with your previous move. The Company will select a reputable moving vendor and will arrange for it to bill the Company for the actual cost of moving household goods
and personal belongings. The Company will also provide for insurance and storage costs, if necessary. The Company is required to include on your W-2 form, as wages, the amount of relocation expenses it has paid on your behalf or reimbursed directly.
You will be reimbursed for any additional tax liability your may incur. The Company will also furnish you with office equipment reasonably required by you for the rendition of services from your homes from time to time, including DIRECTV and other
satellite-related equipment. 

 Mr. Mitchell Stern 
 As of
January 1, 2004

	3.	(a) You shall serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, reporting directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer of DTV and the Board of Directors of the
Company. You shall be based in New York, New York, subject to such travel as the rendering of the services hereunder may require. 

  
 (b) If you are elected a member of the Board of Directors or to any other office of the Company or any of its affiliates, you agree to serve in such
capacity or capacities without additional compensation, unless additional compensation or benefits are paid to comparable executives. 
  
 (c) You hereby accept such employment and agree to devote your full time and attention as necessary to fulfill all of the duties of your employment
hereunder. During the term of your employment, and for a period of twelve months thereafter, you will not, in any manner directly or indirectly, engage in any business which competes with the Company or any of its affiliates and will not directly or
indirectly own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be employed by, or connected in any manner with any corporation, firm or business that is so engaged. The foregoing does not
prohibit you from owning less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding common stock of any company. 
  

	4.	(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph lea) above, this Agreement may be terminated by the Company for cause if: 

  

	 	(i)	you are convicted of, or plead guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony; 

  

	 	(ii)	you engage in conduct that constitutes continued willful neglect or willful misconduct in carrying out your duties under this Agreement, resulting, in either case, in economic harm
to or damage to the reputation of the Company or any of its affiliates; or 

  

	 	(iii)	you breach any material affirmative or negative covenant or undertaking hereunder, which breach is not substantially cured with fifteen days after written notice to you specifying
such breach. 

  

	 	 	If you are terminated for cause, you shall be entitled only to payment of your base salary and accrued vacation pay through the date of termination of your employment for cause, and
no Units shall vest. 

  
 (b) If your employment is
terminated due to death, your estate or beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to: 
  

	 	(i)	payment of base salary through the date of termination; 

 Mr. Mitchell Stern 
 As of
January 1, 2004 
 Page 4 
  

	 	(ii)	payment of the pro-rated portion of the annual bonus that you received for the fiscal year immediately preceding the date of termination (or Target Bonus, in the event of your death
prior to January 1, 2005); 

  

	 	(iii)	the Units, vested 25% (subject to the adjustment mechanism approved by the Compensation Committee pursuant to the Stock Plan, which is referred to as the “Adjustment
Factor”) for each full or partial contract year completed. The Adjustment Factor shall be computed through the end of the year in which termination occurs; and 

  

	 	(iv)	other or additional benefits in accordance with applicable plans and programs of DTV and the Company. 

  
 (c) If your employment is terminated due to disability (as defined below), you shall be entitled to the following (but in no
event less than the benefits due to you under the then current disability program of the Company): 
  

	 	(i)	payment of base salary through the date of termination; 

  

	 	(ii)	payment of the pro-rated portion of the annual bonus that you received for the fiscal year immediately preceding the date of termination (or Target Bonus, in the event of your
disability prior to January 1, 2005); 

  

	 	(iii)	the Units, vested 25% (subject to the Adjustment Factor) for each full or partial contact year completed. The Adjustment Factor shall be computed through the end of the year in
which termination occurs; 

  

	 	(iv)	until the earlier of the end of such disability and the end of the Term, continued participation in medical, dental, hospitalization and life insurance coverage and in all other
employee plans and programs in which you were participating on the date of termination; and 

  

	 	(v)	other or additional benefits in accordance with applicable plans and programs of DTV and the Company. 

  

	 	 	For purposes of this Agreement, “disability” shall mean your inability to substantially perform your duties and responsibilities under this Agreement for a period of 120
consecutive days. 

  
 (d) If the Company terminates
your employment for any reason other than those defined in paragraphs 4(a), (b) or (c) above, then you shall be entitled to: 
  

	 	(i)	the Minimum Payment for each year or partial year (on a pro rata basis) through the end of the Term, in accordance with paragraph 2 (d) above, but in no event more than two times
the Minimum Payment; and 

 Mr. Mitchell Stern 
 As of
January 1, 2004 
 Page 5 
  

	 	(ii)	all other benefits as would be called for under this Agreement had your employment not been terminated, provided that your health care coverage (other than retiree health coverage)
shall terminate when you receive health care coverage from a subsequent employer. 

  

	5.	(a) You agree to abide by the provisions of the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (receipt of which is hereby acknowledged) at all times during your employment.

  
 (b) You will not during the term of your
employment and for a period of two years thereafter, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce any managerial, sales or supervising employee of the Company or its affiliates to render services to any other person, firm or corporation.

  
 (c) You acknowledge that the relationship between the parties
hereto is exclusively that of employer and employee and that the Company’s obligations to you are exclusively contractual in nature. The Company shall be the sole owner of all the fruits and proceeds of your services hereunder, including, but
not limited to, all ideas, concepts, formats, suggestions, developments, arrangements, designs, packages, programs, promotions and other intellectual properties which you may create in connection with and during your term of your employment
hereunder, free and clear of any claims by you (or anyone claiming under you) of any kind or character whatsoever (other than your right to compensation hereunder). You shall, at the request of the Company, execute such assignments, certificates or
other instruments as the Company may from time to time deem necessary or desirable to evidence, establish, maintain, perfect, protect, enforce or defend its right, title and interest in or to any such properties. 
  
 (d) All memoranda, notes, records and other documents made or compiled by
you, or made available to you during the term of this Agreement concerning the business of the Company or its affiliates shall be the Company’s property and shall be delivered to the Company on the termination of this Agreement or at any other
time on request. You shall keep in confidence and shall not use for yourself or others, or divulge to others, any information concerning the business not publicly available and which is obtained by you as a result of your employment, including but
not limited to, trade secrets or processes and information deemed by the Company to be proprietary in nature, unless disclosure is permitted by the Company or required by law. 
  
 (e) The Company shall have the right to use your name, biography and likeness in connection with its business, including in
advertising its products and services, and may grant this right to others, but not for use as a direct endorsement. 
  
 (f) The covenants set forth in sub paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) above shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

 Mr. Mitchell Stern 
 As of
January 1, 2004

	6.	The services to be furnished by you hereunder and the rights and privileges granted to the Company by you are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character
which gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in any action at law, and a breach by you of any of the provisions contained herein will cause the Company irreparable injury and damage.
You expressly agree that the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief, to prevent a breach of this Agreement by you. Resort to equitable relief, however, shall not be construed as a waiver of any preceding or
succeeding breach of the same or any other term or provision. The various rights and remedies of the Company hereunder shall be construed to be cumulative and no one of them shall be exclusive of any other or of any right or remedy allowed by law.

  

	7.	In consideration of the making of this Agreement, as well as of the other consideration stated herein, you expressly agree that if you continue in the employ of the Company after
the end of this Agreement, your employment shall be at-will and shall otherwise be in accordance with the provisions of such then existing Company policies as may then be in effect applicable to comparable executives of the Company.

  

	8.	This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts performed entirely therein. 

  

	9.	This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and general assigns of the Company and to the benefit of any other corporation or entity which is a parent, subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company to which this Agreement is assigned, and any other corporation or entity into which the Company may be merged or with which it may be consolidated. Except as herein provided, this Agreement shall be nonassignable.

Global Security may exchange such interests for Securities of such series and of like tenor of any authorized form and denomination; 
  
 (19) whether Securities of the series are to be issued as Registered Securities, Bearer Securities or both, the terms and conditions
relating to the applicable form, including, but not limited to, tax compliance, registration and transfer procedures and, if in registered form, the denomination in which any Registered Securities of a series will be issued if other than
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and if in bearer form, the denominations in which any Bearer Securities will be issuable; 
  
 (20) any special United States Federal income tax considerations applicable to the Securities of the series; 
  
 (21) any addition to or change in the covenants set forth in
Article IV which apply to Securities of the series; and 
  
 (22) any other terms of the Securities of the series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, except as permitted by Section 9.1(8) hereof). 
  
 All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as
to denomination and the rate or rates of interest, if any, and Stated Maturity, the date from which interest, if any, shall accrue and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to this Section
2.3(a) hereof or in any indenture supplemental hereto. 
  
 All
Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series or for the establishment of additional terms with respect to the
Securities of such series. 
  
 If any of the terms of the series
are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of any appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of
the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series. 
  
 (b) Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) hereof with respect to any series of Securities, any Securities of a series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. 
  

 10 

 Section 2.4 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 
  
 The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by an Officer by
manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time a Security is authenticated, the Securities shall nevertheless be valid. 
  
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture (and subject to delivery of an Officers’ Certificate or a supplemental indenture as set forth in Section 2.3(a) hereof with respect to the initial issuance of Securities of any series), the Company may deliver Securities of any series
executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities; and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If
the forms or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Officers’ Certificates as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 2.3(a) hereof, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating: 
  
 (a) that the form or forms and terms of such Securities have been duly
authorized by the Company and established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
  
 (b) that such Securities when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or its authenticating agent and issued by the Company in the manner and subject
to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to customary exceptions. 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(a) hereof and of the preceding
paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.3(a) hereof and the Opinion of Counsel required by the
preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 
  
 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
  
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid
or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon
any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form: 
  
 This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in
the within-mentioned Indenture. 
  

			
	 CITIBANK, N.A.,
 as Trustee

		
	By:	 	 
	 	 	

	 	 	Authorized Officer

  
 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any Security shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.12 hereof
together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 12.4 or 12.5 hereof and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this
Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
  

 11 

 Section 2.5 Registrar and Paying Agent. 
  
 The Company shall maintain, with respect to each series of Securities, an
office or agency where such Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where such Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall
keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying
Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Paying Agent not a party to
this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
  
 The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with respect to
each series of Securities with any Registrar or Paying Agent (if not the Trustee). The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such
agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent for a particular series of Securities, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof. The Company or any
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
  
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee and the Trustee accepts its appointment to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent. 
  
 Section 2.6 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 Securities of any series or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of Principal of or interest on such series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any
such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying
Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders of any series
of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for any series of Securities. 
  
 Section 2.7 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 all Holders of each series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least
seven Business 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 the Holders of such
series of Securities and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). 
  
 Section 2.8 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 
  
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Securities of a series at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof
for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate
principal amount. The Company shall not charge a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in
connection with the transfer or exchange of the Securities from the Securityholder requesting such transfer or exchange (other than any exchange of a temporary Security for a permanent Security not involving any change in ownership or any exchange
pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.6, 9.5 or 10.3 hereof, not involving any transfer). 
  

 12 

 Notwithstanding any other provisions (other than the provisions set forth in the sixth and seventh
paragraphs) of this Section 2.8 hereof, a Security in global form representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee
of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
  
 At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for
other Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue
as Depositary for the Securities of such series, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90
days after the Company receives such notice, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of permanent Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such
series in permanent form in an aggregate Principal Amount equal to the Principal Amount of the Security or Securities in global form representing such series in exchange for such Security or Securities in global form. 
  
 The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the
Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more global Securities shall no longer be represented by such global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of permanent Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in permanent form and in an aggregate Principal Amount equal to the Principal Amount of the Security or Securities in global
form representing such series in exchange for such Security or Securities in global form. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified in the preceding two paragraphs or as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) hereof, any Global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph.
If the beneficial owners of interests in a Global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for permanent Securities of such series and of like Principal Amount and tenor but of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as
contemplated by Section 2.3(a) hereof, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee permanent Securities in aggregate Principal
Amount equal to the Principal Amount of such Global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such Global Security shall be surrendered by the Depositary with respect thereto to the
Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for permanent Securities without charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such Global
Security, an equal aggregate Principal Amount of permanent Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such Global Security to be exchanged which shall be in the form of Securities, or any
combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding the last paragraph of this Section 2.8 hereof, no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before any selection of Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Security after the close of business at the
office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such
office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest (as defined herein), interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may
be, in respect of such Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Global Security is payable in accordance with
the provisions of this Indenture. 
  
 Upon the exchange of a
Security in global form for Securities in permanent form, such Security in global form shall be cancelled by the Trustee. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee and a certificate of their destruction delivered
to the Company unless the Company directs, by Company 

  

 13 

 
Order, that the Trustee shall cancel Securities and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company. Securities issued in exchange for a Security in
global form pursuant to this Section 2.8 hereof shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Security in global form, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or
otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities as instructed in writing by the Depositary. 
  
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
  
 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
  
 The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening
of 15 Business Days before any selection of Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security of a
series so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
  
 Section 2.9 Replacement Securities. 
  
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of written notice to the Company, any such paying agent or the
Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall issue and execute and upon its written request the Trustee or paying agent outside the United States shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any
such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and Principal Amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or
is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
  
 Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this Section 2.9, 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 or Paying Agent) connected therewith. 
  
 Every replacement Security of any series is an additional and binding obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder. 
  
 The provisions of this Section 2.9 hereof 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 2.10 Outstanding Securities. 
  
 Securities of any series “outstanding” at any time are, as of the date of determination, all the Securities of such series theretofore authenticated by the Trustee for such series except for those cancelled
by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be “outstanding” because the Company or an Affiliate thereof holds the Security. Subject to the foregoing,
only Securities outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination (including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to Articles VI and IX). In addition, in determining whether the Holders of the
requisite Principal Amount of outstanding Securities have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, (i) the Principal Amount of a Discount Security that 

  

 14 

 
shall be deemed to be outstanding shall be the amount of the Principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon
acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, (ii) the Principal Amount of a Security denominated in a foreign currency or currencies shall be the Dollar equivalent, as determined on the date of original issuance of such
Security, of the Principal Amount (or, in the case of a Discount Security, the Dollar equivalent on the date of original issuance of such Security of the amount determined as provided in (i) above) of such Security. 
  
 If a Security has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof in exchange
for or in lieu of which another Security has been authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture, it ceases to be Outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide
purchaser. 
  
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a
Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date or on Stated Maturity, money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities
shall cease to be Outstanding and interest, if any, on such Securities shall cease to accrue. 
  
 Section 2.11 Treasury Securities 
  
 In determining whether the Holders of required principal amount of Securities of any series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities of such series owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction,
waiver or consent, only Securities of such series that the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
  
 Section 2.12 Temporary Securities. 
  
 Pending the preparation of permanent Securities of any series, the Company may prepare and execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall
authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of permanent Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee. The Company may prepare and execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate permanent Securities of the same series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Holders of temporary Securities of
any series shall in all respects be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 
  
 Section 2.13 Cancellation. 
  
 The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee
and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of the Securities in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention
requirement of the Exchange Act). The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  
 Section 2.14 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) hereof with
respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities)
is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 
  
 Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder. The Company shall pay such Defaulted Interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable upon the Defaulted Interest to the
Persons 

  

 15 

 
who are Holders of the series on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at the earliest practicable date but in all events at least 10
Business Days prior to the payment date (herein called “Special Record Date”). The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such Special Record Date and payment date, and shall, promptly thereafter, notify the Trustee of any such date.
At least 15 days before the Special Record Date, the Company (or the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company) shall mail to the Holders of the series a notice that states the Special Record Date, the related payment date and the
amount of such interest to be paid. The Company may pay Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner. 
  
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 and Section 2.8 hereof, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of
transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
  
 Section 2.15 Persons Deemed Owners. 
  
 Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of Principal of and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) hereof and subject
to Sections 2.8 and 2.13 hereof) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice
to the contrary. 
  
 None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying
Agent or the Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
  
 Section 2.16 Computation of Interest. 
  
 Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) hereof for Securities of any series, (i) interest on any Securities which bear interest at a fixed rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and
(ii) interest on any Securities which bear interest at a variable rate shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in an interest period divided by 360. 
  
 Section 2.17 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 of a series or as
contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities of such series, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
  
 REDEMPTION 
  
 Section 3.1 Right to Redeem;
Notice of Redemption to Trustee. 
  
 Securities of any series
which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) hereof for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article III. If
the Company elects to redeem Securities of any series, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Redemption Date and the Principal Amount
of and of any other information necessary to identify the Securities of such series to be redeemed and the Redemption Price. 
  

 16 

 Section 3.2 Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. 
  
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) hereof with
respect to any series of Securities, if less than all the Securities of any series with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the particular Securities to be redeemed among the Holders
thereof in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, or which the Securities of such series are listed or, if the Securities of such series are not listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method
as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date from outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption. 
  
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities to
be redeemed and, in the case of any portions of Securities to be redeemed, the Principal Amount thereof to be redeemed. 
  
 Section 3.3 Notice of Redemption to Holders. 
  
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) hereof with respect to any series of Securities, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days
before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed
(including “CUSIP” number(s), if any) and shall state: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the Redemption Price; (iii) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and in the case of partial
redemption, the Principal Amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed; (iv) the name and address of the Paying Agent; (v) that the particular Securities to be redeemed must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;
(vi) that, unless the Company defaults in making such Redemption Payment, interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date; (vii) the paragraph of the particular Securities called for redemption and/or the Section of this Indenture
pursuant to which such Securities are being redeemed; (viii) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case; and (ix) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the “CUSIP” number, if any, listed in
such notice or printed on the particular Securities called for redemption. 
  
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least
45 days prior to the Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate 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 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 
  
 Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof,
Securities of a series called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. 
  
 Section 3.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. 
  
 No later than 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 and unpaid interest on all Securities to be redeemed on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the
amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, all Securities to be redeemed. 
  
 If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities
or the portions of Securities called for redemption. If a Security is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name
such Security was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph,
interest shall be paid on the unpaid 

  

 17 

 
Principal, from the Redemption Date until such Principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid Principal, in each case at
the rate provided in the Securities. 
  
 Section 3.6 Securities
Redeemed in Part. 
  
 Upon surrender of a Security that is
redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and execute and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder of such Securities at the expense of the Company a new Security equal in Principal Amount to the
unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. 
  
 ARTICLE IV

  
 COVENANTS 
  
 Section 4.1 Payment of Securities. 
  
 The Company shall pay or cause to be paid the Principal of and interest on
the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 11:00 a.m. New York City
time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all Principal and interest then due. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) hereof with respect to any
series of Securities, at the option of the Company interest may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Holder as such address appears on the securities register. The Company shall pay interest (including post petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on such series of Securities to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post petition interest in any proceeding under
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to an applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 
  
 Section 4.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
  
 The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an
affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Securities of a series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series and
this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency
or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 
  
 The Company also may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented
or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office

 ARTICLE VI 
  
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
  
 Section 6.1 Events of
Default. 
  
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.3(a) hereof with respect to any series of Securities, an “Event of Default” occurs, with respect to each series of Securities individually, if: 
  
 (a) the Company defaults in (i) the payment of any interest upon any Security of such series when the same becomes due and
payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days or (ii) the payment of the Principal of any Security of such series at its Maturity (upon acceleration, redemption, required purchase or otherwise); 
  
 (b) the Company defaults in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or
warranty of the Company contained in this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities, which default or breach continues for a period of 60 days after the Company receives written notice specifying such default from the Trustee or Holders of
Securities of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of such Securities of such series; 
  
 (c) the Company or any Material Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary pursuant to or
within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law: 
  
 (i)
commences a voluntary case, 
  
 (ii) consents to
the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 
  
 (iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, 
  
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or 
  
 (v) shall admit in writing its inability to pay debts generally; 
  
 (d) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any
Bankruptcy Law that: 
  
 (i) is for relief
against the Company or any Material Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary in an involuntary case, 
  
 (ii) appoints a custodian of the Company or any Material Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries
that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any Material Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary,
or 
  

 20 

 (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Material Subsidiary, or group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary; or 
  
 (e) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series, which is specified in a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.3(a) hereof.

  
 Section 6.2 Acceleration. 
  
 If an Event of Default (other than as specified in Section 6.1(3) or (4)
hereof) occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee by written notice to the Company or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities of that series by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
declare the Principal Amount (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Discount Securities, such portion of the Principal Amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities of that series to be
immediately due and payable. Upon any such declaration, such Principal (or portion thereof) shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(3) or (4) hereof occurs and is continuing, then the Principal (or
portion thereof) of all the Securities of that series shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders. 
  
 At any time after a declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or
decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities of any series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind such declaration
and its consequences if: 
  
 (a) the Company has paid or deposited
with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 
  
 (i)
all overdue interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities of that series, 
  
 (ii) the Principal of any outstanding Securities of that series that has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefore in such Securities,

  
 (iii) to the extent that payment of such
interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest and overdue Principal at the rate or rates prescribed therefore in such Securities, and 
  
 (iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 
  
 (b) all Events of
Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of Principal of or interest on the Securities of such series that has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. 
  
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right
consequent thereon. 
  
 Section 6.3 Other Remedies.

  
 If an Event of Default with respect to a series of outstanding
Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of Principal of and interest on the Securities of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of such series or
this Indenture. 
  
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if
it does not possess any of the Securities of a series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Security of a series in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default
shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
  

 21 

 Section 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. 
  
 The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate 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 Defaults, except a Default in the payment of the Principal or interest on any Security of such series, or in respect of a covenant or provision which under this Indenture
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. Upon 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 6.5 Control by Majority. 
  
 Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. Securityholders may not enforce this Indenture or the Securities of any series,
however, except as provided in this Indenture. In addition, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders or
that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
  
 Section
6.6 Limitation on Suits. 
  
 No individual Holder of any of
the Securities of any series has any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or any remedy hereunder, unless (1) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities of that series have
made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee under the Securities of that series and this Indenture, (2) the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days after
receipt of such notice and (3) the Trustee, within such 60-day period, has not received directions inconsistent with such written request by the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities of that series.

  
 A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the
rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder. 
  
 Section 6.7 Rights of Holders of Securities to Receive Payment. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security of any series to receive
payment of Principal of and interest on the Security of that series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or
after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of each such Holder. 
  
 Section 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. 
  
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a) or (b) hereof with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is
authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of Principal and interest remaining unpaid on the Securities of that series and interest on overdue Principal and, to the
extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
  
 Section 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
  
 The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the
Securities of 

  

 22 

 
any series allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series), its creditors or its
property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Securityholder to
make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions,
dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Securityholders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed
to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Securityholder, or
to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding. 
  
 Section 6.10 Priorities. 
  
 If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
  
 First: to the Trustee, its agents and counsel for amounts
due under Section 7.7 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
  
 Second: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for Principal and interest, ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for Principal and interest, respectively; and 
  
 Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
  
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
  
 Section 6.11
Undertaking for Costs. 
  
 In any suit for the enforcement
of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs
of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made
by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, to a suit by a Securityholder pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof or to a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities of
any series. 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
  
 TRUSTEE 
  
 Section 7.1 Duties of Trustee. 
  
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested

whether or not they reasonably conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

 (f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any
liability. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity
satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

 (j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and
benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act
hereunder. 
  
 Section 7.3 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 any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must
eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee also is subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of such Securities as it appears on the Registrar a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 10 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment
of Principal or interest on any Security of any series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if a committee of its trust officers determines, in good faith, that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of such Securities.

  

 25 

 Section 7.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Securities. 
  
 Within 60 days after each April 15 beginning with the April 15 following the
date of this Indenture, and for so long as Securities remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of the Securities a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA
§ 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee also shall transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA §
313(c). 
  
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to
the Holders of Securities shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Securities are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities
of a particular series are listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 
  
 Section 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity. 
  
 The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree 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 promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition
to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
  
 The Company shall fully indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities or expenses incurred by
it including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of
enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.7) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad
faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim which a Responsible Officer has actually received for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations
hereunder, except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced thereby. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees
and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
  
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee
shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay Principal and interest on particular Securities. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture. 
  
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(3) or (4) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  
 The Trustee shall comply with the
provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 
  
 Section 7.8 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 7.8. 
  

 26 

 The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so
notifying the Company. The Holders of Securities of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the
Trustee if: (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; (c) a custodian or public officer
takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 
  
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, with respect to Securities of one or more series, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series). Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor
Trustee appointed by the Company. 
  
 If a successor Trustee does
not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of Securities of at least 10% in Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, at the expense of the Company. 
  
 If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder of a Security who has been a Holder of a Security of any such series for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder of a Security may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and 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. Thereupon, 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 under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders of the
Securities. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.7 hereof.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
  
 Section 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 
  
 If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business
to another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth
in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
  
 This
Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA §§ 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b).

 (a) either 
  
 (1) all Securities of such series that have been authenticated and delivered and all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto (other than
Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid and Securities of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter

deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 
  
 (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and 
  
 (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate

another person. 
  
 Section 8.3 Option to Effect Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance. 
  
 Unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 2.3(a) hereof with respect to Securities of a particular series, the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to any series of Securities, elect to have either Section 8.4 or Section 8.5
hereof be applied to all of the outstanding Securities of such series (the “Defeased Securities”), upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII. 
  
 Section 8.4 Defeasance and Discharge. 
  
 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.3 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.4, the Company shall be
deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the outstanding Defeased Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter “legal defeasance”). For this purpose, such legal defeasance
means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Defeased Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Sections 2.4, 2.5,
2.6, 2.9, 2.11, 2.12, 4.1, 4.2, 6.6, 6.7, 7.7, 7.8 and 8.2 of this Indenture and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Defeased Securities and this Indenture insofar as Defeased Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company, and, upon written request, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same). Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.4 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 8.5 hereof with respect to a series of Securities. 
  
 Section 8.5 Covenant Defeasance. 
  
 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.3 hereof of the option applicable under this Section 8.5, the Company shall be released from its obligations under Sections 4.3 and 4.4 hereof and Article V hereof and such other provisions
as may be provided as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) hereof with respect to Securities of a particular series and with respect to the outstanding Defeased Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter
“covenant defeasance”), and the Defeased Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences if any thereof) in
connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Defeased Securities, the Company may omit to comply
with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or Article, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or Article or by reason of any
reference in any such Section or Article to any other provisions herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1 hereof but, except as specified above, the remainder
of this Indenture and such Defeased Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 
  

 29 

 Section 8.6 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
  
 The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 8.4 or
8.5 hereof to a series of outstanding Securities: 
  
 (a) The Company shall have irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, (i) sufficient funds in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are denominated to pay the Principal of and interest to Stated
Maturity (or redemption) on, the Securities of such series, or (ii) such amount of direct obligations of, or obligations the Principal of and interest on which are fully guaranteed by, the government which issued the currency in which the Securities
of such series are denominated, and which are not subject to prepayment, redemption or call, as will, together with the predetermined and certain income to accrue thereon without consideration of any reinvestment thereof, be sufficient to pay when
due the Principal of, and interest to Stated Maturity (or redemption) on, the Securities of such series. 
  
 (b) The Company shall (i) have delivered an Opinion of Counsel that the Company has met all of the conditions precedent to such defeasance
and that the Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance, and will be subject to tax in the same manner as if no defeasance and
discharge or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, had occurred or (ii) in the case of an election under Section 8.4 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) the Company has received
from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date this Indenture was first executed, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based
thereon such Opinion of Counsel in the United States shall confirm that, the Holders of outstanding Securities of that particular series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance.

 Without the consent of any Holders of Securities, the Company and the
Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may amend or supplement the Indenture for any of the following purposes: 
  
 (1) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series and the assumption

 (3) to cure any ambiguity, or to correct or supplement any provision in this Indenture or Securities of any series which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision in this Indenture, the Securities or,
if applicable, the Security Guarantees or make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture, the Securities of any series or, if applicable, the Security Guarantees; provided that, in each case, such
provisions shall not adversely affect the interest of the Holders of any such Securities; 
  
 (4) to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

  
 (5) to provide that any of the Company’s
obligations under any series of Securities or this Indenture shall be guaranteed and the terms and conditions for the release or substitution of such Security Guarantee; 
  
 (6) to evidence and provide the acceptance of the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this 

  

 30 

 
Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the
requirements of Section 7.8 hereof; 
  
 (7) to
mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of any series as additional security for the payment and performance of the Company’s or, if applicable, the
Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture in any property or assets, including which are required to be mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated, or in which a security is required to be granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or
otherwise; 
  
 (8) to add to, change or eliminate
any of the provisions of this Indenture (which addition, change or elimination may apply to 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 Outstanding Security; 
  
 (9) to
establish the form and terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 2.3(a) hereof, respectively; or 
  
 (10) to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder in any material respect. 
  
 Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of any of the documents requested by it pursuant to Section 7.2(b) hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such
amended or supplemental Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its judgment, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 
  
 Section 9.2 With Consent of Holders. 
  
 With the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities of each series affected by such
supplemental indenture, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of any series may be amended or supplemented hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series under this Indenture. Subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default
or Event of Default in the payment of the Principal or interest on the Securities of each series, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities
of each series may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of each series. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall
mail to each Holder of the particular Securities affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities of any series then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance
in a particular instance, with respect to the Securities of such series, by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such series. However, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected, an
amendment or waiver may not: 
  
 (1) change the
Stated Maturity of, the Principal of, or any installment of Principal or interest on, any such Security, or reduce the Principal Amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon redemption thereof or reduce the amount of
Principal of any such Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2, or change the coin or currency in which, any Principal of, or any installment of interest on, any
such 

  

 31 

 
Security is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date); 
  
 (2) reduce the percentage in Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such amendment or supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver
(of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) with respect to the Securities of such series provided for in this Indenture; or 
  
 (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section 9.2,
Section 6.4 or 6.7 hereof, except to increase the percentage of outstanding Securities of such series required for such actions to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder
of each Outstanding Security affected thereby. 
  
 Upon the
written request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of any of the documents requested by it pursuant to Section 7.2(b) hereof, the
Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly
affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its judgment, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 
  
 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other
provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other
provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 
  
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
  
 Section 9.3 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 
  
 Section 9.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents, Waivers and Actions. 
  
 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver with respect to a series of Securities becomes effective, a consent to it by a
Holder of a Security of that series hereunder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of that Security that evidences the same obligation as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if
notation of the consent, waiver or action is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives written notice of
revocation before the date that the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder of Securities of that series. 
  
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the
purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment or waiver with respect to a series of Securities. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the first two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those persons
who were Holders of Securities of that series at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such
record date. 
  

 32 

 Section 9.5 Notation On or Exchange of Securities. 
  
 The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement
or waiver on any Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after any amendment, supplement or waiver with respect to such series pursuant to this Article IX. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of such series so modified as
to conform to any such amendment, supplement or waiver may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for outstanding Securities of that series. 
  
 Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not
affect the validity and effect of any amendment, supplement or waiver. 
  
 Section 9.6 Trustee to Sign Supplemental Indentures. 
  
 The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not in the judgment of the Trustee adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the
Trustee. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended
or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
  
 Section 9.7 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 
  
 Upon the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture under this Article IX, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such amended or supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes;
and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby, except to the extent otherwise set forth thereon.

 The provisions of this Article X shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 2.3(a) hereof for Securities of such series. 
  
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the
terms of Securities of any 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 10.2 hereof. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such series. 
  
 Section 10.2 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 
  
 The Company (1) may deliver outstanding Securities of a series with the same
issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity which have been redeemed either at the
election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory
sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity; provided, that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and
credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption 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. 
  

 33 

 Section 10.3 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 
  
 Not less than 60 days (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the
Trustee) 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 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 Securities of that series pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof and will also
deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days 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
3.2 hereof 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 3.3 hereof. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon
the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.4 and 3.6 hereof. 
  
 ARTICLE XI 
  
 GUARANTEES 
  
 Section 11.1 Applicability of Article. 
  
 The provisions of this Article XI will be applicable to any series of
Securities which is to be guaranteed by one or more Guarantors. 
  
 Section 11.2 Guarantee. 
  
 Subject to this
Article XI, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of Securities of a series as to which it is a Guarantor authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and
assigns on behalf of each such Holder, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the Principal of and interest on the Securities of such
series will be promptly paid by the Company in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue Principal of and interest on the Securities of such series, if any, if lawful will be promptly
paid by the Company in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities of such series, that same will be promptly paid by the Company in full when due by the
Company in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due by the Company of any amount so guaranteed which failure continues for three days after demand
therefor is made to the Company for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
  
 The Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, agree that their obligations
hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities of the series or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities of
such series with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment (except as specifically provided in the preceding paragraph), filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to
require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands (except as specifically provided in the preceding paragraph) whatsoever and covenant that this Security Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance
of the payment obligations contained in the Securities of the series and this Indenture. 
  
 If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or
the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Security Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
  

 34 

 Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the
Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes of this Security Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect
of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantors for the purpose of this Security Guarantee, failing payment when due by the Company, which failure continues for three days after demand therefor is made to the Company. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any
non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the guarantee. 
  
 Section 11.3 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 
  
 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities of a series as to which such Guarantor is a Guarantor, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the
intention of all such parties that the Security Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar
Federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Security Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Security Guarantee
and this Article XI shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any
collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article XI, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Security
Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
  
 Section 11.4 Release of Guarantors. 
  
 The
Security Guarantee of a Guarantor with respect to any series of Securities will be released under the circumstances specified for such series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.3(a) hereof.

 (BACK OF SECURITY) 
  
 [TITLE OF SECURITY] 
  
 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
  
 1. Interest. TRIAD HOSPITALS, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
                    , or registered assigns, the principal sum of
                     [Dollars] [if other than Dollars, substitute other currency units] on
                    ,
                     [if the Security is to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert—
            , and to pay interest thereon from                      or from
the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for], [semiannually] [if other than semi-annual interest at a fixed rate, insert frequency of payment and payment dates] on
                     and
                     in each year, commencing             , and at the
Maturity thereof, at [if the Security is to bear interest at a fixed rate, insert — the rate of                     % per annum], [if the
Security is to bear interest at a rate determined with reference to one or more formula, refer to description index below] until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment] [if applicable, insert
—                    , and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at [if the Security is to bear
interest at a fixed rate, insert — the rate of        % per annum on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue installment of interest from the dates such amounts are due until they are
paid or made available for payment]. Interest shall be computed on the basis of [a 360-day year of 12 30-day months] [if another basis of calculating interest is to be different, insert a description of such method.] 
  
 [If the Security is not to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert — The
principal of this Security shall not bear interest except in the case of a default in payment of principal upon acceleration, upon redemption or at Stated Maturity and in such case the overdue principal of this Security shall bear interest at the
rate of                     % per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), which shall accrue
from the date of such default in payment to the date payment of such principal has been paid or made available for payment.] 
  
 2. Method of Payment. The Company will punctually pay or duly provide for interest, on any Interest Payment Date, as provided in such Indenture, to the
Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the
                     or
                     (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not
punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 15 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any
time in any other lawful manner. 
  
 Payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any) and [if applicable, insert— any such] interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in
                     in such coin or currency of [the United States of America] [insert other currency or currency unit, if applicable] as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts against surrender of this Security in the case of any payment due at the Maturity of the principal thereof (other than any payment of interest that first becomes payable on
a day other than an Interest Payment Date), [if applicable, insert —; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address
shall appear in the list provided by the Company to the Registrar and provided, further, that if this Security is a Global Security, payment may be made pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary as permitted in said Indenture].

  
 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Trustee under
the Indenture will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of                 ,
                 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and
            , as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental

 A-3 

 [If applicable, insert — The sinking fund for this series provides for the redemption on
             in each year beginning with the year              and ending with the year

$                     (“mandatory sinking fund”) and not more than]
$                     aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series. Securities of this series acquired or redeemed by the Company
otherwise than through [mandatory] sinking fund payments may be credited against subsequent [if applicable, insert — mandatory] sinking fund payments otherwise required to be made [if applicable, insert — in the inverse order in which they
become due].] 
  
 [If applicable, insert — The Securities are
subject to redemption, as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the sole election of the Company, upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days notice by mail to the Trustee at a Redemption Price equal to
$            .] 
  
 [If applicable, insert — The holder of this Security shall have the right to require the Company to pay this Security in full on             ,
             by giving the Company or the Registrar written notice of the exercise of such right not less than 30 or more than 60 days prior to such date.] 
  
 [If the Security is subject to redemption, insert — In the event of
redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.] 
  
 [If applicable, insert — This Security is not subject to redemption
prior to maturity.] 
  
 6. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. [If
applicable, insert — The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of
$                     and any integral multiple thereof.] As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. A Holder may register the
transfer or exchange of the Security as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any
taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. 
  
 [If applicable, insert — The Securities of this series will be represented by one or more global securities (collectively, the “Global Security”) registered in the name of
                    , (the “Depositary”), or a nominee of the Depositary. So long as the Depositary, or its nominee, is the
registered holder and owner of this Global Note, the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and holder of the Notes for all purposes under the Indenture. The Global Security may be transferred, in whole and
not in part, only to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary. The Depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the Notes represented by such Global Security to the
accounts of institutions that have accounts with the Depositary or its nominee (“participants”). Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be effected
through, records maintained by the Depositary (with respect to participants’ interests) and such participants (with respect to the owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security).] 
  
 [If applicable, insert — The Securities represented by this Global
Security are exchangeable for Securities in permanent form of like tenor as such Global Security in denominations of $1,000 and in any greater amount that is an integral multiple thereof if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Global Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) the Company in its discretion at any time
determines not to have all of the Securities of this series represented by the Global Security and notifies the Trustee thereof, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. Any Security that is
exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence is exchangeable only for Securities of this series.] 
  
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
  

 A-4 

 8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as its owner for all
purposes. 
  
 9. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to
certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture and the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities of each series affected by
such amendment or supplement and (ii) any existing default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities of each series affected by such waiver. Without
the consent of any Holder of Securities of each series affected by such amendment or supplement, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities of such series to, among other things, evidence the succession of
another Person to the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of such series, to add to the covenants of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities or to surrender any
right or power conferred upon the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series, as applicable, in the Indenture or in such Securities, to cure any ambiguity, or to correct or supplement any provision in the Indenture or the
Securities of such series or make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture or such Securities, provided that, in each case, such provisions shall not adversely affect the interest of the Holders of
the Securities in any material respect, or to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture (which addition, change or elimination may apply to 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 Outstanding Security. 
  
 10. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Indenture, the Principal of and interest on all of the
outstanding Securities my be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, immediately due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided for in the Indenture. 
  
 11. Trustee Dealings with the Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any
other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee; however, if it acquires any conflicting
interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign. 
  
 12. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall not have any
liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Securities, the Indenture, the Security Guarantees, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a
Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities. 
  
 13. [If applicable, insert — Guarantees. The payment by the Company of the Principal of and interest on the Security is fully and unconditionally
guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each of the Guarantors on the terms set forth in the Indenture.] 
  
 14. Authentication. This Security shall not be valid or obligatory until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

  
 15. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the
name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to
Minors Act). 
  
 16. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation
promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
