CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of POWER UP LENDING GROUP LTD., a Virginia corporation, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $130,000.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on August 1, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of eight percent (8%)(the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall commence accruing on the Issue Date but shall not be payable until the Note becomes payable (whether at Maturity Date or upon acceleration or by prepayment). All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.  

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

1

Article I.CONVERSION RIGHTS

1.1     Conversion Right.  The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III), each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price  (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The beneficial ownership limitations on conversion as set forth in the section may NOT be waived by the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”); however,  if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00pm, New York, New York time the Conversion Date shall be the next business day. The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.4 hereof.

1.2    Conversion Price.   The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events).  The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 65% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 35%).  “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date.  “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the OTCQB, OTCQX, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTC is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for 

2

such security that are listed in the “pink sheets”.  If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as reasonably determined by the Borrower.  “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.  

1.3    Authorized Shares.  The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.  The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved six times the number of shares that would be issuable upon full conversion of the Note (assuming that the 4.99% limitation set forth in Section 1.1 is not in effect)(based on the respective Conversion Price of the Note (as defined in Section 1.2) in effect from time to time, initially 6,732,117)(the “Reserved Amount”).  The Reserved Amount shall be increased (or decreased with the written consent of the Holder) from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note.  The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.

1.4    Method of Conversion.

(a)    Mechanics of Conversion.  As set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower (upon payment in full of any amounts owed hereunder).  

(b)    Surrender of Note Upon Conversion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted.  The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. 

(c)    Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion.  Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the 

3

Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within two (2) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement.  Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations hereunder, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion.  If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.  

(d)    Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer.  In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions set forth herein, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system.

(e)    Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline.  Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline due to action and/or inaction of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock (the “Fail to Deliver Fee”); provided; however that the Fail to Deliver Fee shall not be due if the failure is a result of a third party (i.e., transfer agent; and not the result of any failure to pay such transfer agent) despite the best efforts of the Borrower to effect delivery of such Common Stock.  Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note.  The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder.  The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify.  Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(e) are justified.

1.5     Concerning the Shares.  The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of  counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (iii) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or 

4

otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).  

Any restrictive legend on certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel from Holder’s counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act; or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration.  In the event that the Company does not reasonably accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration (such as Rule 144), at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

1.6    Effect of Certain Events.

(a)    Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc.  At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III).  “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

(b)    Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc.  If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof.  The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, ten (10) days prior written notice (but in any event at least five (5) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) 

5

assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Note.  The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

(c)    Adjustment Due to Distribution.  If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

1.7    Prepayment.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the periods set forth on the table immediately following this paragraph (the “Prepayment Periods”), the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not more than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.7.  Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice.  On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to Holder, or upon the direction of the Holder as specified by the Holder in a writing to the Borrower (which direction shall to be sent to Borrower by the Holder at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date).  If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to the percentage (“Prepayment Percentage”) as set forth in the table immediately following this paragraph opposite the applicable Prepayment Period, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”).  If the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to this Section 1.7.

If any of the following events of default (each, an “Event of Default”) shall occur:

3.1    Failure to Pay Principal and Interest.  The Borrower fails to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note, whether at maturity or upon acceleration and such breach continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from the Holder.

3.2    Conversion and the Shares.  The Borrower fails to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or announces or threatens in writing that it will not honor its obligation to do so) upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note, fails to transfer or cause its transfer agent to transfer (issue) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, the Borrower directs its transfer agent not to transfer or delays, impairs, and/or hinders its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, or fails to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note (or makes any written announcement, statement or threat that it does not intend to honor the obligations described in this paragraph) 

7

and any such failure shall continue uncured (or any written announcement, statement or threat not to honor its obligations shall not be rescinded in writing) for two (2) business days after the Holder shall have delivered a Notice of Conversion.  It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within forty-eight (48) hours of a demand from the Holder.

3.3    Breach of Covenants.  The Borrower breaches any material covenant or other material term or condition contained in this Note and any collateral documents including but not limited to the Purchase Agreement and such breach continues for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice thereof to the Borrower from the Holder.

3.4    Breach of Representations and Warranties.  Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement), shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which has (or with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.

3.5    Receiver or Trustee.  The Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business, or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.

3.6    Bankruptcy.  Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings, voluntary or involuntary, for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower.

3.9    Liquidation.  Any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of Borrower or any substantial portion of its business.

3.10    Cessation of Operations.    Any cessation of operations by Borrower or Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Borrower cannot pay its debts as they become due.

3.11    Financial Statement Restatement.    The restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC at any time after 180 days after the Issuance Date for any date or period until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the un-restated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.

8

3.12     Replacement of Transfer Agent. In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Borrower fails to provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the Borrower.

3.13    Cross-Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other related or companion documents, a breach or default by the Borrower of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the Other Agreements, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, shall, at the option of the Holder, be considered a default under this Note and the Other Agreements, in which event the Holder shall be entitled (but in no event required) to apply all rights and remedies of the Holder under the terms of this Note and the Other Agreements by reason of a default under said Other Agreement or hereunder. “Other Agreements” means, collectively, all agreements and instruments between, among or by: (1) the Borrower, and, or for the benefit of, (2) the Holder and any affiliate of the Holder, including, without limitation, promissory notes; provided, however, the term “Other Agreements” shall not include the related or companion documents to this Note.  Each of the loan transactions will be cross-defaulted with each other loan transaction and with all other existing and future debt of Borrower to the Holder.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Section 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due at the Maturity Date), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined herein).  UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUATION OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SPECIFIED IN SECTION 3.2, THE NOTE SHALL BECOME IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE AND THE BORROWER SHALL PAY TO THE HOLDER, IN FULL SATISFACTION OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO: (Y) THE DEFAULT AMOUNT (AS DEFINED HEREIN); MULTIPLIED BY (Z) TWO (2).  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Sections 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note or upon acceleration), 3.3, 3.4, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and/or 3.14 exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Borrower by such Holders (the “Default Notice”), and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified the remaining sections of Articles III (other than failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon at the Maturity Date specified in Section 3,1 hereof), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the greater of (i) 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the date of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Section 1.4(e) hereof (the then outstanding principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively be known as the “Default Amount”) and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.  

If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Borrower,

ARTICLE IV.    MISCELLANEOUS

4.1    Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.  No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges.  All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

4.2    Notices.  All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (i) personally served, (ii) deposited in the mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or (iv) transmitted by hand delivery, telegram, or facsimile, addressed as set forth below or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice.

4.3    Amendments.  This Note and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Holder.  The term “Note” and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument (and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

4.4    Most Favored Nation. During the period where any monies are owed to the Holder pursuant to this Note, if the Borrower engages in any future financing transactions with a third party investor, the Borrower will provide the Holder with written notice (the “MFN Notice”) thereof promptly but in no event less than 10 days prior to closing any financing transactions. Included with the MFN Notice shall be a copy of all documentation relating to such financing transaction and shall include, upon written request of the Holder, any additional information related to such subsequent investment as may be reasonably requested by the Holder. In the event the Holder determines that the terms of the subsequent investment are preferable to the terms of the securities of the Borrower issued to the Holder pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Holder will notify the Borrower in writing. Promptly after receipt of such written notice from the Holder, the Borrower agrees to amend and restate the Securities (which may include the conversion terms of this Note), to be identical to the instruments evidencing the subsequent investment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.4 shall not apply in respect of (i) an Exempt Issuance, or (ii) an underwritten public offering of Common Stock. “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of: (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, consultants, advisors or directors of the Borrower pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of directors established for such purpose, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of this Note and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date hereof, and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Borrower, provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company in a business synergistic with the business of the Borrower and in which the Borrower receives benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Borrower is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.

4.5    Assignability.  This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns.  Each transferee of this Note must be an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities and Exchange Commission).  Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, this Note may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement; and may be assigned by the Holder without the consent of the Borrower. 

4.6    Cost of Collection.  If default is made in the payment of this Note, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

4.7    Governing Law.  This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Virginia without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.  Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Note shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the Eastern District of New York.  The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens.  The Borrower and Holder waive trial by jury.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs.  In the event that any provision of this Note or 

11

any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law.  Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.   Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Note, any agreement or any other document delivered in connection with this Note by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

4.8    Purchase Agreement.  By its acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the applicable terms of the Purchase Agreement.

4.9    Remedies.  The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused this Note to be signed in its name by its duly authorized officer this on August 1, 2018

regulations or advisable in connection with the marketing of Securities of that series. 
 All Securities of any one series
shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to any such Board Resolution or in any indentures supplemental hereto. 

If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an 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.

of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with
any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which Securities of that series may be listed, or to conform to usage. 

Section 2.03    Denominations; Provision for Payment. 

The Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities without coupons and in the denominations of two thousand U.S.
dollars ($2,000) and integral multiples of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) in excess thereof, subject to Section 2.01(j). The Securities of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rate or rates specified with
respect to that series. The principal of and the interest on the Securities of any series, as well as any premium thereon in case of redemption thereof prior to maturity, shall be payable in the coin or currency

  
 7 

 
of the United States of America that at the time is legal tender for public and private debt, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose. Each Security shall be dated the
date of its authentication. Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. 

The interest installment on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date for Securities of that series shall be paid to the Person in whose name said Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment. In the event that any
Security of a particular series or portion thereof is called for redemption and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Security
will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Security as provided in Section 3.03. 
 Any interest on any
Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of the same series (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on
the relevant regular record date by virtue of having been such registered holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (a) or clause (b) below: 

(a)    The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities to the Persons in whose names
such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner: the Company shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount
proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause
notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be transmitted by mail to each Securityholder (to the extent their respective names and addresses appear in the Security Register (as hereinafter
defined)) or through the facilities of the Depositary, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Following such sending of notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such special record date and shall be no longer payable pursuant to the following clause (b). 

(b)    The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Securities in any other lawful manner
not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by 

  
 8 

 
such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

Unless otherwise set forth in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or one or more indentures supplemental hereto establishing the
terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the term “regular record date” as used in this Section with respect to a series of Securities with respect to any Interest Payment Date for such series shall mean
either the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of a month, or the
first day of the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of such month, whether or not such date is a Business Day. 

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

Section 2.04    Execution and Authentications. 

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any two of its officers among the Chief Financial Officer, the
Treasurer and an Assistant Treasurer and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. Signatures may be in the form of a manual or facsimile signature. The Company may use the facsimile signature of any Person who shall have been a
Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer thereof, or of any Person who shall have been a Secretary or Assistant Secretary thereof, notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered or
disposed of such Person shall have ceased to be the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, of the Company. The Securities may contain such notations, legends or endorsements as are
required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication by the Trustee. 

A Security shall not be valid until authenticated manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee, or by an Authenticating
Agent. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder of such Security is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of
any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, signed by its Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer
and its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, and the Trustee in accordance with such written order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. 

In authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such
Securities, the Trustee shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon (a) an Officers’ Certificate or executed 

  
 9 

 
supplemental indenture setting forth the form and terms of the Securities as required pursuant to Section 2.01 and (b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that such Securities, when
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture,
and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws now or hereafter
in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture
will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

Section 2.05    Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

(a)    Securities of any series may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the
Company designated for such purpose, for other Securities of such series of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, all
as provided in this Section. In respect of any Securities so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities of the same
series that the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. 

(b)    The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for such purpose a
register or registers (herein referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities and the transfers of Securities as provided in this
Section and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided shall be appointed as authorized by Board Resolution (the
“Security Registrar”). 
 Upon surrender for transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company
designated for such purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series as the Security presented for
a like aggregate principal amount. 
 All Securities presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, as
provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar, duly executed by the
registered holder or by such registered holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing. 
 (c)    No
service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, or issue of new Securities in case of partial redemption of any series, but 

  
 10 

 
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 3.03(b) and
Section 9.04 not involving any transfer. 
 (d)    The Company shall not be required (i) to
issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the sending of a notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Securities of the same series and ending
at the close of business on the day of such delivery, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series or portions thereof called for redemption. The provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to any
Global Security, subject to Section 2.11 hereof. 
 Section 2.06    Temporary
Securities. 
 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities (printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized denomination. Such temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued,
but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every temporary Security of any series shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee
upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities of such series. Without unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon
any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders thereof), at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or
agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of such series. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of such series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

Section 2.07    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. 

In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to
the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the Company’s request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange
and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
the applicant’s Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company. Upon the issuance of any substituted
Security, 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)

  
 11 

 
connected therewith. In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security,
pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save
them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. 

Every replacement Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall constitute an additional contractual
obligation of the Company whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and
all other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Securities and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments
or other securities without their surrender. 
 Section 2.08    Cancellation. 

All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered
to the Company or any paying agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the
provisions of this Indenture. On written request of the Company at the time of such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Securities held by the Trustee. In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of canceled
Securities in accordance with its standard procedures. If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.09    Benefits of Indenture. 

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other
than the parties hereto, any Authenticating Agent, any paying agent, any Security Registrar and their successors hereunder and the holders of the Securities any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or
under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Securities. 

Section 2.10    Authenticating Agent. 

So long as any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding there may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such
series of Securities which the Trustee shall have the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption

  
 12 

 
thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. All
references in this Indenture to the authentication of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a
corporation that has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is
otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it
shall resign immediately. 
 Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the
Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time (and upon written request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon
resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.10 of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any successor
Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto. 

Section 2.11    Global Securities. 

(a)    If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a particular
series are to be issued as a Global Security, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver, a Global Security that (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all of the Outstanding Securities of such series, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or
pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Security may be transferred, in whole but not in
part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.” 

(b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05, the Global Security of a series may be
transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 2.05, only to another nominee of the Depositary for such series, or to a successor Depositary for such series selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of
such successor Depositary. 
 (c)    If at any time the Depositary for a series of the Securities
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such series or if at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute or
regulation, and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable
to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and subject to Section 

  
 13 

 
2.05, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. In addition, if at any time an event has happened and is continuing, which, after notice or lapse of time, or both would become an Event of
Default with respect to a series of the Securities, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver the
Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. In
addition, the Company may at any time determine that the Securities of any series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Securities of such series. In such
event the Company will execute and, subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive
registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. Upon the exchange of the Global Security for
such Securities in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Security pursuant to
this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver
such Securities to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 

Section 2.12    CUSIP Numbers, ISIN Numbers, etc. 

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

ARTICLE 3 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND
PROVISIONS 
 Section 3.01    Redemption. 

The Company may redeem the Securities of any series issued hereunder on and after the dates and in accordance with the terms
established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. 
 Section 3.02    Notice of
Redemption. 

  
 14 

 (a)    In case the Company shall desire to exercise such
right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series in accordance with the right reserved so to do, the Company shall (with a copy provided to the Trustee), or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such
redemption to holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid (or, when the Securities are in the form of Global Securities, sending electronically pursuant to the applicable procedures of the
Depositary), a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register unless a shorter
period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed. Any notice that is sent in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly
to give such notice to the holder of any Security of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities of such series or
any other series. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an
Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with any such restriction. 
 Each such notice of redemption shall specify
the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price at which Securities of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state the place of payment of the redemption price of such Securities to be redeemed, upon presentation and surrender of such
Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that from and after such date interest will cease to accrue and that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. If less than
all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Securities of that series to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Securities to be so redeemed. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part
only, the notice that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such
series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. 
 (b)    If the
Trustee is to provide notice to the holders of Securities in accordance with clause (a) above, for a partial or full redemption, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee) in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series to be redeemed, and thereupon, in the case of a partial redemption, the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other manner as
it shall deem appropriate and fair in accordance with methods generally used at the time of selection by fiduciaries in similar circumstances (or, in the case of Securities held in book-entry form, in accordance with the applicable procedures of the
Depositary) and that may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to two thousand U.S. dollars ($2,000) and integral multiples of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) in excess thereof) of the principal amount of such Securities of a
denomination larger than $2,000, the Securities to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part. 

The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its Chief Financial
Officer, Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, instruct the Trustee 

  
 15 

 
or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Securities of a particular series for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in
the name of the Company or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to,
or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any
notice by mail or pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary that may be required under the provisions of this Section. 

Section 3.03    Payment Upon Redemption. 

(a)    If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Securities
or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for
redemption, and interest on such Securities or portions of Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption; except that interest shall continue to accrue on any such Security or portion thereof with respect to which the
Company defaults in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities shall be paid
and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an interest payment date, the interest installment payable on such date
shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03). 

(b)    Upon presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security of the same series of authorized denominations in principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented. 
 (c)    On or prior to 10:00 a.m.
New York City time on any redemption date, the Company shall deposit with a paying agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.03(b)) an amount of money sufficient to pay the
redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 

Section 3.04    Sinking Fund. 

The provisions of this Section 3.04, Section 3.05 and Section 3.06 shall be applicable to any sinking fund for
the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 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 

  
 16 

 
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 3.05. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. 

Section 3.05    Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

The Company (a) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any Securities previously called for
redemption) and (b) may apply as a credit Securities of a series that 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 sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the
terms of such series, 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. 

Section 3.06    Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

Not less than 45 days 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 the series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of
that series pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit and will, together with such Officers’ Certificate, 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 3.02 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in
the manner provided in Section 3.02. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03. 

ARTICLE 4

So long as any series of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Company agrees to maintain an office or agency where
(a) Securities of that series may be presented for payment (a “paying agent”), (b) Securities of that series may be presented as hereinabove authorized for registration of transfer and exchange, and (c) notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be given or served, such

designation to continue with respect to such office or agency until the Company shall, by written notice signed by its Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary and delivered to the Trustee, designate some other office or agency for such purposes or any of them. 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, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands. 

The Company may appoint one or more co-Security Registrars and one or more additional
paying agents. The term “Security Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “paying agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Security Registrar or
paying agent without notice to the Securityholders. If the Company shall appoint one or more Security Registrars or paying agents for all or any series of the Securities, other than the Trustee, the Company shall provide written notice signed by its
Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, Secretary or an Assistant Secretary and delivered to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of such Security Registrar or paying agent.

Registrar or paying agent, as the case may be, of the Company is appointed prior to the time Securities of a series are first issued. 

Section 4.03    Paying Agents. 

(a)    If the Company shall appoint one or more paying agents for all or any series of the Securities,
other than the Trustee, the Company will cause each such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section: 

(i)    that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such Securities) in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto; 

(ii)    that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor of
such Securities) to make any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series when the same shall be due and payable; 

(iii)    that it will, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding
paragraph (a)(ii) above, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent; and 

  
 18 

 (iv)    that it will perform all other duties of paying
agent as set forth in this Indenture. 
 (b)    If the Company shall act as its own paying agent with
respect to any series of the Securities, it will on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a
sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due on Securities of that series until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of
such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Securities) to take such action. Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of this action or failure so to act. 

(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, (i) the agreement to hold sums in
trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, and (ii) the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct
any paying agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such paying agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such paying agent;
and, upon such payment by any paying agent to the Trustee, such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

Section 4.04    Appointment to Fill Vacancy in Office of Trustee.

all conditions and covenants under this Indenture, and that the Company is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS

 ON EVENT OF DEFAULT 

Section 6.01    Events of Default. 

(a)    Whenever used herein with respect to Securities of a particular series, “Event of
Default” means any one or more of the following events that has occurred and is continuing: 

(i)    the Company defaults in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Securities of
that series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; 

(ii)    the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the
Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series; 

(iii)    the Company fails to observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements with respect to
that series contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to that series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof (other than a covenant or agreement that has been expressly included in this Indenture specifically
relating to, and solely for the benefit of, one or more series of Securities other than such series) for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a
“Notice of Default” hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all
series affected by such failure at the time Outstanding; 
 (iv)    the Company pursuant to or within
the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (A) commences a voluntary case, (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all
of its property or (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 
 (v)    a

the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days; or 

(vi)    any other Event of Default provided for with respect to the Securities of such series in
accordance with Section 2.01. 
 (b)    If an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(i) or
(a)(ii) of this Section 6.01 with respect to the Securities of any series then Outstanding hereunder occurs and is continuing, then, unless the principal of the Securities of such series shall have already become due and payable, either the
Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the principal of all
the Securities of such series and interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture
or in the Securities of such series or established with respect to such series pursuant to Section 2.01 to the contrary. 

If an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(iii) or (a)(vi) of this Section 6.01 with respect to Securities of one or
more series then Outstanding hereunder occurs and is continuing, then, except with respect to any such affected series for which the principal of all the Securities thereof shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders
of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all affected series then Outstanding (all such series voting together as a single class), by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such
Securityholders), may declare the principal of all the Securities then Outstanding of such series and interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable.

declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder of Outstanding Securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made, and before a judgment or decree for payment of the
money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the
non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to Securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture. 

(c)    At any time after the principal of the Securities of any series shall have been declared due and
payable as provided in Section 6.01(b), and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities

(a)(iii), (a)(iv), (a)(v) or (a)(vi) of this Section 6.01, all such affected series voting together as a single class), by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may 

  
 23 

 
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the
Securities of such series and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Securities of such series that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that
such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, applied to the Securities of each such series at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of each such series, respectively, to the date of such payment
or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06, and (ii) any and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series, other than the nonpayment of principal on Securities of that series that shall
not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06. 
 No such
rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

(d)    In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to Securities of any
such series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the
Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. 

Section 6.02    Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

(a)    The Company covenants that (i) in case it shall default in the payment of any installment of
interest on any of the Securities of a series, or any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series as and when the same shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a
period of 30 days, or (ii) in case it shall default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of a series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of a
series or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series, the whole amount that then shall have been become due
and payable on all such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the
amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06. 
 (b)    If the Company shall fail to pay such
amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may
prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable
in the 

  
 24 

 
manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series, wherever situated. 

(c)    In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment,
arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings affecting the Company, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted by the court and shall (except as
may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Securities of such series allowed for the
entire amount due and payable by the Company under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Company after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby
authorized by each of the holders of Securities of such series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount
due it under Section 7.06. 
 (d)    All rights of action and of asserting claims under this
Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to Securities of that series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto,
and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.06, be
for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series. 
 In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the
Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity
or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in
the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
 Nothing contained herein 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 that series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding. 

Section 6.03    Application of Moneys Collected. 

Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article with respect to a particular series of Securities shall be
applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or premium, if 

  
 25 

 
any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities of that series, and notation thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection and of all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06;

 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if
any) and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any)
and interest, respectively; 
 THIRD: To the Company. 

Section 6.04    Limitation on Suits. 

No holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of this
Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: (a) such holder previously
shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided; (b) the holders of not less than 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series (in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(i) or Section 6.01(a)(ii), each such series voting as a separate class, and in the case of an Event
of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(iii), Section 6.01(a)(iv), Section 6.01(a)(v) or Section 6.01(a)(vi), all affected series voting together as a single class) shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute
such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder; (c) such holder or holders shall have offered indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or
thereby; (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and (e) during such 60 day period, the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities of such series (voting as provided in clause (b) above) do not give the Trustee conflicting directions with the request. 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any other provisions of this Indenture, the right of any holder of
any Security to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security, as therein provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or
to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder and by accepting a Security
hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security of such series with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Securities of such series shall have any
right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any
other such holder, or to enforce 

  
 26 

 
any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Securities of such series. For the protection and enforcement
of the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 

Section 6.05    Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission not Waiver. 

(a)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article to
the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to
enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Securities. 

(b)    No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right
or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or on acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of
Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders. 

Section 6.06    Control by Securityholders. 

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected
thereby (all such series voting together as a single class except with respect to an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(i) or Section 6.01(a)(ii), in which case, each such affected series voting as a separate class), determined
in accordance with Section 8.04, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such
series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of Securities of any other series at the time Outstanding determined
in accordance with Section 8.04. Unless otherwise provided under the Trust Indenture Act, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith
shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed could involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the
time Outstanding affected thereby (all such series voting together as a single class except with respect to an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(i) or Section 6.01(a)(ii), in which case, each such affected series voting as a
separate class), determined in accordance with Section 8.04, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to
Section 2.01 with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Securities of any such series as and when the same shall become due by the terms
of such Securities otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any 

  
 27 

 
premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.01(c)). Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this
Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any
right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.07    Undertaking to Pay Costs. 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Securities by such holder’s acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any
party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having
due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of
Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
on any Security of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this Indenture.

series and after the curing of all Events of Default with respect to the Securities of that series that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect to the Securities of such series such duties and only such duties as are specifically
set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (that has not been cured or waived) and is actually
known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 

(b)    No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 

(i)    prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and
after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to that series that may have occurred: 

  
 28 

 (A)    the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall
with respect to the Securities of such series be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the Securities of such series except for the performance of such duties and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(B)    in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may with respect to the
Securities of such series conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming on their face to the requirements of this
Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on
their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy or mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);

Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

good faith in accordance with the direction of Securityholders provided to the Trustee in accordance with Section 6.06 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; 

(iv)    none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk
its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not assured to
it under the terms of this Indenture or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against such risk is not assured to it; and 

(v)    whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the
conduct of or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. 

Section 7.02    Certain Rights of Trustee. 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:

parties; 

  
 29 

 (b)    any request, direction, order or demand of the
Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the name of the Company, by any two of the Chief Financial Officer, the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer and an Assistant
Treasurer thereof (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein);

satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby;

believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

and this Indenture; 
 (i)    the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the
Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified in connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture shall extend (i) to the Trustee, serving in any capacity hereunder, including without limitation, in the
capacity of Security Registrar or paying agent, and (ii) to the Trustee’s officers, directors, agents and employees. Such immunities and protections and right to indemnification, together with the Trustee’s right to compensation,
shall survive the Trustee’s resignation or removal, discharge of this Indenture and final payment of the Securities; 

(j)    the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of
individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture; and 

  
 30 

 (k)    in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or
liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the
form of action. 
 Section 7.03    Trustee not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance or
Securities. 
 (a)    The recitals contained herein and in the Securities shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. 

(b)    The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities. 
 (c)    The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of
any of the Securities or of the proceeds of such Securities, or for the use or application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or established pursuant to Section 2.01, or for the use or
application of any moneys received by any paying agent other than the Trustee. 

Section 7.04    May Hold Securities. 

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any paying agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar. 

Section 7.05    Moneys Held in Trust. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein
provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder
except such as it may agree with the Company in writing to pay thereon. 

Section 7.06    Compensation and Reimbursement. 

(a)    The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such
compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), as the Company, and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the
execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all
Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Company also covenants to

collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Securities. The benefits of this Section 7.06 shall survive the termination of this Indenture. 

(c)    When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default, the
expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

 Section 7.07    Reliance on Officers’ Certificate. 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the
Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may,
in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall
be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon reliance thereof. 

Section 7.08    Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 

If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the Company shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 

Section 7.09    Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Securities issued hereunder which shall at all times be a
corporation or national association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act as trustee by the
Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least 50 million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or
District of Columbia authority. If such corporation or national association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this

  
 32 

 
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or national association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10. 

Section 7.10    Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

(a)    The Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to the
Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid (or, when the Securities are in the form of Global Securities, sending electronically
pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary), to the Securityholders (to the extent their respective names and addresses appear in the Security Register) or through the facilities of the Depositary. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series, or any Securityholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. 

(b)    In case at any time any one of the following shall occur: 

(i)    the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.08 after written request
therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; 

(ii)    the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and
shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder; or 

(iii)    the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or
commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities
and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, unless the
Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided herein, 

  
 33 

 
any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. 

(c)    The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee for such series with the consent of the Company. 

(d)    Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to
the Securities of a series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 7.10, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.06 will continue for the benefit of a retiring Trustee. 

(e)    Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section may be appointed with respect to the
Securities of one or more series or all of such series, and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series. 

Section 7.11    Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

(a)    In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all Securities, every
such successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective
and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee
shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all
property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder; provided that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid, and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.06(b). 

(b)    In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one
or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor trustee shall accept
such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to
the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates, (ii) shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this
Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts 

  
 34 

 
hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of
the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any act or failure to
act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall
with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the
Trustee under this Indenture, and each such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee, to the extent contemplated by such
supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates; provided that all sums owing to the
Trustee with respect to the Securities or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have been paid, and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.06(b). 

(c)    Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for
more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 

(d)    No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
 (e)    Upon acceptance of
appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder by mail to the Securityholders (to the extent their respective names and addresses appear in the Security
Register) or through the facilities of the Depositary. If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the
expense of the Company. 
 Section 7.12    Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business. 
 Any corporation or national association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated, or any corporation or national association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or national association succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then
in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such 

  
 35 

 
authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 

Section 7.13    Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company. 

The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship described in
Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent included therein. 

ARTICLE 8 

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS 

Section 8.01    Evidence of Action by Securityholders. 

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities of one or more series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the
holders of such majority or specified percentage of such series have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of Securities of the relevant series in person or by agent
or proxy appointed in writing. 
 If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders of one or more series any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the determination of Securityholders entitled
to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of
the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become
effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. 

Section 8.02    Proof of Execution by Securityholders. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder (such proof will
not require notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner: 

(a)    The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in any
reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee. 

  
 36 

 (b)    The ownership of Securities shall be proved by
the Security Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar thereof. 

(c)    The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall
deem necessary. 
 Section 8.03    Who May be Deemed Owners. 

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any
Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of
ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.03) interest on such Security and for all other
purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

Section 8.04    Certain Securities Owned by Company Disregarded. 

In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities of one or more series have
concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, the Securities of such series that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled
by or under common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Securities of such series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The Securities so owned that have been
pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not a
Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel
shall be full protection to the Trustee. 
 Section 8.05    Actions Binding on Future
Securityholders. 
 At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in
Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of one or more series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Security of
any such series that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such
action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in
exchange therefor, on 

  
 37 

 
registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the holders of the majority or
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of one or more series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Securities of such
series. 
 ARTICLE 9 

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 

Section 9.01    Supplemental Indentures Without the Consent of Securityholders. 

In addition to any supplemental indenture otherwise authorized by this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may from time to
time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect), without the consent of the Securityholders, for one or more of the following
purposes: 
 (a)    to cure any ambiguity, defect, or inconsistency herein, in the Securities of any
series; 
 (b)    to comply with Article 10; 

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

 (d)    to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of
Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred
upon the Company; 
 (e)    to add to, delete from, or revise the conditions, limitations, and
restrictions on the authorized amount, terms, or purposes of issue, authentication, and delivery of Securities, as herein set forth; 

(f)    to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder in any material
respect; 
 (g)    to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of the
Securities of any series as provided in Section 2.01, to establish the form of any certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or any series of Securities, or to add to the rights of the holders of any series
of Securities; or 
 (h)    to amend or supplement any provision contained herein, which was required to
be contained herein in order for this Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, if the Trust Indenture Act or regulations thereunder change what is so required to be included in qualified indentures, in any manner not inconsistent
with what then may be required for such qualification. 

  
 38 

 The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution
of any such supplemental indenture, and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Any supplemental indenture authorized by the
provisions of this Section may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the holders of any of the Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02. 

Section 9.02    Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Securityholders. 

With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of all of the series affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures at the time Outstanding (all such series voting together as a single class), the Company, when authorized by Board Resolutions, and the
Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner not covered by Section 9.01 the rights of the holders of the Securities of such series under this Indenture;
provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby, (a) extend the fixed maturity of any Securities of any series, or reduce the
principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required to
consent to any such supplemental indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders of the
series affected thereby under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. 

Section 9.03    Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, this
Indenture shall, with respect to the relevant series, be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the
Company and the holders of Securities of the series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such
supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 

Section 9.04    Securities Affected by Supplemental Indentures. 

Following the execution, authentication and delivery of a supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or
of Section 10.01, the Securities of any series affected thereby may bear a notation in form approved by the Company, provided such form meets the 

  
 39 

 
requirements of any exchange upon which such series may be listed, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall determine that it is necessary or desirable,
new Securities of such series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and
delivered in exchange for the Securities of that series then Outstanding. 

Section 9.05    Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 

Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by its Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of any such supplemental
indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental
indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture. The Trustee, subject to
the provisions of Section 7.01, shall be provided with an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by, and conforms to,
the terms of this Article and that it is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article to join in the execution thereof. 

Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this
Section, the Trustee shall transmit a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, by mail to the Securityholders (to the extent their respective names and addresses appear in the Security Register) or through
the facilities of the Depositary. Any failure of the Trustee to send such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. 

Section 9.06    Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as
then in effect. 
 ARTICLE 10

is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter, except in the case of
a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the Securities.

Section 11.01     Discharge Of Company’s Obligations. 

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.01, the Company may terminate its obligations under the Securities of any
series and this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series if:

such series previously authenticated and delivered (other than destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Securities of such series that have been replaced or Securities of such series that are paid pursuant to Section 2.07 or Securities of such
series for whose payment money or securities have theretofore been held in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, as provided in Section 11.05) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and the Company has paid all sums payable
by it hereunder; or 
 (b)    (i) the Securities of such series are scheduled to mature within one year
or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for giving the notice of redemption, (ii) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee, as trust funds solely for the benefit of the
holders of such Securities, money or Governmental Obligations or a combination thereof sufficient (unless such funds consist solely of money, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee), without consideration of any reinvestment and after payment of all Federal, state and local taxes or other charges and assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee, to pay and discharge the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of such series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and to pay all other sums payable by the Company hereunder, and (iii) the Company delivers to the Trustee

  
 41 

 
an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to the Securities of such series have been complied with. 
 With respect to the foregoing clause (a), only the
Company’s obligations under Sections 7.06 and 11.05 in respect of the Securities of such series shall survive. With respect to the foregoing clause (b), only the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 7.10

survive such satisfaction and discharge. After any such irrevocable deposit, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Securities of such series and this Indenture with respect to the
Securities of such series except for those surviving obligations specified above. 

Section 11.02    Legal Defeasance. 

Except as provided below, the Company will be deemed to have paid and will be discharged from any and all obligations in
respect of the Securities of any series and the provisions of this Indenture (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee acknowledging the same) if the
following conditions shall have been satisfied: 
 (a)    the Company has irrevocably deposited in trust
with the Trustee as trust funds solely for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series, for payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of such series, money or Governmental Obligations or a
combination thereof sufficient (unless such funds consist solely of money), in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee) without consideration
of any reinvestment and after payment of all Federal, state and local taxes or other charges and assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee, to pay and discharge the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the outstanding
Securities of such series to maturity or earlier redemption (irrevocably provided for under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee), as the case may be; 

(b)    such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this
Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; 

(c)    no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred
and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period ending on the 91st day after such date;

received from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its option under this
Section 11.02 and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would 

  
 42 

 
have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred or (y) an Opinion of Counsel to the same effect as the ruling described in clause (x) above and based upon a change in
law and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel, subject to customary assumptions and qualifications, to the effect that the holders of the Securities of such series have a valid security interest in the trust funds subject to no prior liens under the UCC;
and 
 (e)    the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 11.02 of the Securities of such series have been complied with.

series shall survive until such Securities are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.06 and 11.05 shall survive. 

Section 11.03    Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may omit to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 4.05, 4.06, 4.07 or 4.09 (or any
other specific covenant relating to the Securities of any series provided for in a Board Resolution or supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 2.01 which may by its terms be defeased pursuant to this Section 11.03), and such omission
shall be deemed not to be an Event of Default under clause (a)(iii) of Section 6.01, with respect to the outstanding Securities of such series if: 

(a)    the Company has irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee as trust funds solely for the
benefit of the holders of Securities of such series, for payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of such series, money or Governmental Obligations or a combination thereof in an amount sufficient (unless such
funds consist solely of money, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee) without consideration of any reinvestment and after payment of all
Federal, state and local taxes or other charges and assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee, to pay and discharge the principal of (and premium, if any) and accrued interest on the outstanding Securities of such series to maturity or
earlier redemption (irrevocably provided for under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee), as the case may be;

Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; 

(c)    no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred
and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period ending on the 91st day after such date;

and qualifications, to the effect that (i) the holders of the Securities of such series have a valid security interest in the trust funds subject to no prior liens under the 

  
 43 

 
UCC and (ii) such holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income
tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and 

(e)    the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
in each case stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the covenant defeasance contemplated by this Section 11.03 of the Securities of such series have been complied with. 

Section 11.04    Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to Section 11.05, the Trustee or paying agent shall hold in trust money or Governmental Obligations deposited
with it pursuant to Section 11.01, 11.02 or 11.03, as the case may be, in respect of the Securities of any series and shall apply the deposited money and the proceeds from deposited Governmental Obligations in accordance with the Securities of
such series and this Indenture to the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of such series; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Company shall pay and
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Governmental Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 11.01, 11.02 or 11.03, as the case may be, or the principal and interest received in respect
thereof, other than any such tax, fee or other charge that by law is for the account of the Securityholders. 

Section 11.05    Repayment to Company. 

Subject to Sections 7.05, 7.06, 11.01, 11.02 and 11.03, the Trustee and the paying agent shall promptly pay to the Company
upon request set forth in an Officers’ Certificate any money held by them at any time and not required to make payments hereunder and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such money. Subject to applicable escheat or
abandoned property laws, the Trustee and the paying agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them and required to make payments under this Indenture that remains unclaimed for two years; provided that the Trustee
or such paying agent before being required to make any such payment to the Company shall, at the written request of the Company, including by e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar electronic methods,
cause to be published at the expense of the Company once in an Authorized Newspaper or send to each Securityholder entitled to such money at such Securityholder’s address (as set forth in the register) notice that such money remains unclaimed
and that after a date specified therein (which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing) any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Securityholders
entitled to such money must look to the Company for payment as unsecured general creditors unless an abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such paying agent with respect to such money shall cease.

Section 13.09    Counterparts. 

This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall

be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Indenture or of such Securities, but this Indenture and such Securities shall be construed
as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.
