provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on such Security need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be
made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity,  provided that no
additional interest shall accrue with respect to the payment due on such date for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be. 

 
 

  ARTICLE TWO    
    
    SECURITY FORMS    
    

SECTION 2.01    Forms Generally.    

        The
Securities of each series shall be in substantially the form established from time to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in
each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of

the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Issuer Order contemplated by Section 3.03 for the authentication and
delivery of such Securities. Any such Board Resolution or record of such action shall have attached thereto a true and correct copy of the form of Security referred to therein approved by or pursuant
to such Board Resolution. 

        The
Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the form set forth in this Article. 

        The
definitive Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such
Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

SECTION 2.03    Securities in Global Form.    

        If
any Security of a series is issuable in global form (a "Global Security"), such Global Security may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities from
time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities 

12

 

represented
thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding
Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee and in such manner as shall be specified in such Global Security. Any instructions by the Issuer with respect to a Global Security, after
its initial issuance, shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 1.02. 

        Global
Securities may be issued in either temporary or permanent form. Permanent Global Securities will be issued in definitive form. 

 
 

  ARTICLE THREE    
    
    THE SECURITIES    
    

SECTION 3.01    Amount Unlimited; Issuable in Series.    

        The
aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. 

        The
Securities may be issued in one or more series. There shall be established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and set forth in an Officers' Certificate, of the Issuer and each
Guarantor or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of Securities of any series,

        (2)   the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series and any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of the series which may be
authenticated and delivered under this Indenture (except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other securities of the series
pursuant to Section 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 10.06 or 12.07); 

        (3)   the

        (4)   the
rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable), or the method of determination thereof, at which the Securities of the series shall bear interest, if any, including
the rate of interest applicable on overdue payments of principal or interest, if different from the rate of interest stated in the title of the Security, the date or dates from which such interest
shall accrue or the method of determination thereof, the Interest Payment Dates on which such interest shall be payable and the Regular Record Date for the interest payable on any Interest Payment
Date; 

        (5)   the
Paying Agent or Paying Agents for the Securities of the series if other than the Trustee; 

        (6)   the
Place of Payment of the Securities of the series; 

        (7)   if
other than U.S. Dollars, the foreign currency or currencies in which Securities of the series shall be denominated or in which payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on Securities of the series may be made, and the particular provisions applicable thereto and, if applicable, the amount of the Securities of the series which entitles the
Holder of a Security of the series or its proxy to one vote for purposes of Section 15.06; 

        (8)   the
right, if any, of the Issuer to redeem the Securities of such series and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms and
conditions upon which Securities of the series may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Issuer; 

13

 

        (9)   the
obligation, if any, of the Issuer to redeem or purchase Securities of the series pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a Holder
thereof and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which Securities of the series shall be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part,
pursuant to such obligation; 

        (10) if
other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, the denominations in which Securities of the series shall be issuable; 

        (11) whether
the Securities of the series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and, in such case, the depository (the
"Depository") for such Global Security or Securities; and the manner in which and the circumstances under which Global Securities representing Securities of the series may be exchanged for Securities
in definitive form, if other than, or in addition to, the manner and circumstances specified in Section 3.05(b); 

        (12) if
other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount of Securities of the series which shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of
the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02; 

        (13) if
the provisions of Section 5.02 of this Indenture are to apply to the Securities of the series, a statement indicating the same; 

        (14) any
deletions from or modifications of or additions to the Events of Default set forth in Section 6.01 pertaining to the Securities of the series; 

        (15) the
form of the Securities of the series; 

        (16) the
Reporting Date of the Securities of the series; and 

        (17) any
other terms of a particular series and any other provisions expressing or referring to the terms and conditions upon which the Securities of that series are to be
issued, which terms and provisions are not in conflict with the provisions of this Indenture or do not adversely affect the rights of Holders of any other series of Securities then Outstanding);  provided, however, that the addition to or subtraction from or variation of Articles Four, Five, Six,
Nine, Eleven, Thirteen and Sixteen (and Section 1.01 insofar as it relates to the definition of certain terms as used in such Articles) with regard to the Securities of a particular series
shall not be deemed to constitute a conflict with the provisions of those Articles. 

        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 such Board Resolution and set forth
in such Officers' Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time, and unless otherwise provided, a series may be
reopened for issuance of additional Securities of such series without the consent of the Holders thereof. 

        Except
as modified in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing a series of Securities, the Securities shall be subordinated in right of payment to
Senior Indebtedness as provided in Article Four. The Securities of all series shall rank on a parity in right of payment. 

        Except
as modified in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing a series of Securities, the Securities shall be fully and unconditionally
guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each Guarantor as provided in Article Sixteen. 

        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 Issuer or the applicable Guarantor and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth the terms of the series. 

14

 

SECTION 3.02    Denominations.    

        The
Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01. In the absence of
any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. 

SECTION 3.03    Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.    

        The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by its Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested
by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 

        Securities
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Issuer shall bind such Person notwithstanding that such individuals
or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of issuance of such Securities. 

        At
any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for
authentication, together with an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities. If any Security shall be represented by a permanent Global Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 3.04, the notation of a beneficial owner's interest therein upon
original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with the original issuance of such beneficial owner's
interest in such permanent Global Security. 

        In
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and
(subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon the documents specified in Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act, and, in addition: 

        (1)   a
Board Resolution relating thereto, and if applicable, an appropriate record of any action taken pursuant to such Board Resolution, certified by the Secretary or
Assistant Secretary of the Issuer or any Guarantor, if applicable; 

        (2)   an
executed supplemental indenture, if any; and 

        (3)   an
Opinion of Counsel which shall state: 

        (A)  that
the form and terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolutions, by a supplemental indenture or by both such resolution or
resolutions and such supplemental indenture in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

        (B)  that
the supplemental indenture, if any, when executed and delivered by the Issuer, any Guarantor and the Trustee, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation
of the Issuer and such Guarantor; and 

        (C)  that
such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer and any Guarantor in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in
such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer and each such Guarantor, if applicable, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and to general equity principles, and will be entitled to the benefits
of this Indenture. 

15

 

If
such form or terms have been so established, 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 which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

        Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.01 and of this Section 3.03, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be
necessary to deliver the Board Resolution and the Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the Board Resolution and Opinions of Counsel otherwise require pursuant to
this Section 3.03 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series, if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the
first Security of such series to be issued. 

        Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

        No
Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

SECTION 3.04    Temporary Securities.    

        Pending
the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Issuer may execute, and upon Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are
printed, lithographed, typewritten, reproduced or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with
such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 

        If
temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series
at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the
Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations. Until so
exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 

SECTION 3.05    Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange Global Securities Representing the Securities.    

        (a)   The
Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of
the Issuer in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the
registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein
provided. 

        Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal
amount and Stated Maturity. 

16

 

        Except
as otherwise provided in this Article Three, at the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized
denominations and of an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

        All
Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer and each Guarantor evidencing the same debt and entitled to
the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

        Every
Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed by a
commercial bank reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or by a member of a national securities exchange. 

        No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 10.06 or 12.07 not involving any transfer. 

        The
Issuer shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 12.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing,
or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange of any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

        (b)   If
the Issuer shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global
Securities, then the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 3.03 and the Issuer Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global
Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series to
be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary,
(iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee or delivered or held pursuant to such Depositary's instruction, and (iv) unless otherwise provided for, the Securities of such Series pursuant to
Section 3.01, shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "This Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee
of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary, unless and until
this Security is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form." 

        Each
Depositary designated pursuant to Section 3.01 must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and any other applicable statute or regulation. 

        If
at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any
time the Depositary for Securities of a series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered and in good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute or regulation (as required by
this Section 3.05), the Issuer shall appoint a successor Depositary eligible under this Section 3.05 with respect to the Securities of 

17

 

such
series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition,
the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of
such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or
Securities. 

        The
Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by
such Global Security or Securities. In such event, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such
series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing
such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 

        If
the Securities of any series shall have been issued in the form of one or more Global Securities and if an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Issuer may, and upon the request of the Trustee shall, promptly execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of
definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global
Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 

        The
Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in definitive
form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without charge: 

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

        (ii)   to
the Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the
aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered to holders thereof. 

        Upon
the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security
pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or
indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 

SECTION 3.06    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.    

        If
any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series
and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

        If
there shall be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by
a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, 

18

 

lost
or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

        If
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such
Security. 

        Upon
the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

        Every
new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the
Issuer and each Guarantor,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and
all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 

        The
provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities. 

SECTION 3.07    Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.    

        Interest
on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 

        At
the option of the Issuer, interest on the Securities of any series that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address
shall appear in the Security Register. 

        Any
interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date ("Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to
be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in
clause (1) or (2) below: 

        (1)   The
Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (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 Issuer shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer 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 be not more than 15 days and not 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 Issuer of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of
the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such
series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special 

19

 

Record
Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 

        (2)   The
Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series 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 such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this
clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

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

SECTION 3.08    Persons Deemed Owners.    

        Prior
to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person
in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Issuer, any
Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

SECTION 3.09    Cancellation.    

        All
Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, conversion, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment or analogous obligation shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and promptly shall be cancelled by it and, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer or
any Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer or such Guarantor may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered promptly shall be cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this
Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee's customary procedures unless directed by an
Issuer Order. The acquisition of any Securities by the Issuer or any such Guarantor shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented thereby unless and until such
Securities are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. Permanent Global Securities shall not be destroyed until exchanged in full for definitive Securities or until payment thereon is made in
full. 

SECTION 3.10    Computation of Interest.    

        Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a year of
twelve 30-day months. 

SECTION 3.11    CUSIP Numbers.    

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

  ARTICLE FOUR    
    
    SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES    
    

SECTION 4.01    Agreement To Subordinate.    

        (a)   The
Issuer agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Security of any series agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is subordinated in right of payment,
to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article Four, to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer and that the subordination is for the
benefit of and enforceable by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. The Securities shall in all respects rank pari passu with all other Subordinated
Indebtedness of the Issuer; and only Indebtedness of the Issuer that is Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer shall rank senior to the Securities in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. All
provisions of this Article Four shall be subject to Section 4.12. 

        (b)   Each
Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Security of any series agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Guarantees is subordinated in right of
payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article Four, to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor and that the subordination
is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. The Guarantees shall in all respects rank pari passu with all other
Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer; and only Indebtedness of the Guarantor that is Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor shall rank senior to the Guarantees in accordance with the provisions set
forth herein. All provisions of this Article Four shall be subject to Section 4.12. 

SECTION 4.02    Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.    

        Upon
any distribution to creditors of the Issuer in a liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating
to the Issuer or its property, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of the Issuer's assets and
liabilities, the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of such Senior Indebtedness and all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations
shall be fully cash collateralized before the Holders shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Securities, and until all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash or Cash
Equivalents, any distribution to which the Holders would be entitled shall be made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (except that Holders may receive (i) shares of stock and any debt
securities that are subordinated at least to the same extent as the Securities to (a) Senior Indebtedness and (b) any securities issued in exchange for Senior Indebtedness and
(ii) payments and other distributions made from the trusts described in Section 5.01). 

SECTION 4.03    Default on Senior Indebtedness.    

        The
Issuer shall not make any payment upon or in respect of the Securities (except that Holders may receive (i) shares of stock and any debt securities that are subordinated at
least to the same extent as the Securities to (a) Senior Indebtedness and (b) any securities issued in exchange for Senior Indebtedness and (ii) payments and other distributions
made from the trusts described in Section 5.01) until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents if (i) a default in the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on, or of unreimbursed amounts under drawn letters of credit or in respect of bankers' acceptances or fees relating to letters of credit or bankers' acceptances
constituting, Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable period of grace in the indenture, agreement or other document governing such Designated Senior Indebtedness
(a "Payment Default") or (ii) any other default occurs and is continuing with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness that permits holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness as to which
such default relates to accelerate its maturity without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods (a 

21

 

"Non-Payment
Default") and the Trustee receives a notice of such default (a "Payment Blockage Notice") from a representative of holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness. Payments on
the Securities, including any missed payments, may and shall be resumed (a) in the case of a Payment Default, upon the date on which such default is cured or waived or shall have ceased to
exist or such Designated Senior Indebtedness shall have been discharged or paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents and all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations shall have been fully cash
collateralized and (b) in case of a Non-Payment Default, the earlier of (x) the date on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived, (y) 179 days after the
date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received (each such period, the "Payment Blockage Period") or (z) the date such Payment Blockage Period shall be terminated by written
notice to the Trustee from the requisite holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness necessary to terminate such period or from their representative. No new Payment Blockage Period may be commenced
unless and until 365 days have elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately preceding Payment Blockage Notice. However, if any Payment Blockage Notice within such 365-day
period is given by or on behalf of any holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness (other than the agent under the Senior Credit Facilities), the agent under the Senior Credit Facilities may give
another Payment Blockage Notice within such period. In no event, however, shall the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the
aggregate during any 365 consecutive day period. No Non-Payment Default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be
made, the basis for a subsequent Payment
Blockage Notice unless such default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 days. 

SECTION 4.04    Acceleration of Payment of Securities.    

        If
payment of the Securities of any series is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Issuer or the Trustee shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior
Indebtedness (or their Representative) of the acceleration. If any Designated Senior Indebtedness is outstanding, the Issuer shall not pay the Securities until five Business Days after such holders or
the Representative of the Designated Senior Indebtedness receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, shall pay the Securities only if this Article Four otherwise permits payment at that time. 

SECTION 4.05    When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.    

        If
a distribution is made to Holders that because of this Article Four should not have been made to them, the Holders who receive the distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer and pay it over to them as their interests may appear. 

SECTION 4.06    Subrogation.    

        After
all Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of such Senior Indebtedness to
receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article Four to holders of such Senior Indebtedness which otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as
between the Issuer and Holders, a payment by the Issuer on such Senior Indebtedness. 

SECTION 4.07    Relative Rights.    

        This
Article Four defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer. Nothing in this Indenture shall: 

        (1)   impair,
as between the Issuer and Holders, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on and liquidated damages
in respect of, the Securities in accordance with their terms; or 

22

 

        (2)   prevent
the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Issuer to receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders. 

SECTION 4.08    Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Issuer.    

        No
right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by
the Issuer or by its failure to comply with this Indenture. 

SECTION 4.09    Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.    

        Notwithstanding
Section 4.03, the Trustee or Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Securities and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that
would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives notice satisfactory to it that
payments may not be made under this Article Four. The Issuer, the Registrar, the Paying Agent, a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer may give the notice;  provided,
however, that, if an issue of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer has a Representative, only the
Representative may give the notice. 

        The
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Registrar and the Paying
Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article Four with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer which may at any time be
held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness; and nothing in Article Seven shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article Four
shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07. 

SECTION 4.10    Distribution or Notice to Representative.    

        Whenever
a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative (if
any). 

SECTION 4.11    Article Four Not to Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right to Accelerate.    

        The
failure to make a payment pursuant to the Securities by reason of any provision in this Article Four shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default.
Nothing in this Article Four shall have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of the Securities. 

SECTION 4.12    Trust Moneys Not Subordinated.    

        Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of Government Securities held in trust under Article Five by the Trustee for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Securities shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article Four, and
none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Issuer or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or any other creditor of the Issuer. 

SECTION 4.13    Trustee Entitled to Rely.    

        Upon
any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Four, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (i) upon any order or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 4.02 are pending, (ii) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such
payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders or (iii) upon the Representatives for the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons
entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the 

23

 

holders
of such Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Issuer, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto
or to this Article Four. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer to
participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Four, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such
Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this
Article Four, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The
provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.03 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article Four. 

SECTION 4.14    Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.    

        Each
Holder by accepting a Security of any series authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the
subordination between the Holders and the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer as provided in this Article Four and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and
all such purposes. 

SECTION 4.15    Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness.    

        The
Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over
or distribute to Holders or the Issuer or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Four or otherwise. 

SECTION 4.16    Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness on Subordination Provisions.    

        (a)   Each
Holder by accepting a Security of any series acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a
consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Securities, to acquire and continue
to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and
continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness. 

        (b)   Without
in any way limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of this Section, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without
the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article Four or the
obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment
of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (2) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal
with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (3) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (4) exercise or
refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other Person. 

SECTION 4.17    Trustee's Compensation Not Prejudiced.    

        Nothing
in this Article Four shall apply to amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to other sections of this Indenture. 

24

 

SECTION 4.18    Defeasance.    

        The
terms of this Article Four shall not apply to payments from money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Securities held in trust by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Securities pursuant to the provisions described in Section 5.03. 

 
 

  ARTICLE FIVE    
    
    SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE    
    

SECTION 5.01    Satisfaction and Discharge of Securities of any Series.    

        The
Issuer shall be deemed to have satisfied and discharged the entire Indebtedness on all the Securities of any particular series (except as to any surviving rights of registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, upon Issuer Request and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute such instruments as may be requested by the
Issuer acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of such Indebtedness, when 

        (a)   either

        (1)   all
Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid
as provided in Section 3.06 and
(ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust,
as provided in Section 11.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

        (2)   all
such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 

        (A)  have
become due and payable, or 

        (B)  will
become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or 

        (C)  are
to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at
the expense, of the Issuer, 

and
the Issuer or any Guarantor, in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount sufficient to pay and
discharge the entire Indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (other than Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06), for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to
the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 

        (b)   the
Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer or any Guarantor; and 

        (c)   the
Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to
the satisfaction and discharge of the entire Indebtedness on all Securities of such series have been complied with. 

        Notwithstanding
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer and each Guarantor to the Trustee under Section 7.07 and, if money shall have been
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (2) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 5.03 and the last paragraph of
Section 11.03 shall survive. 

25

 

SECTION 5.02    Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.    

        The
Issuer may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a supplemental indenture or, at any time, by a Board Resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate with respect to
the Securities of any series, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a particular series of Securities, elect to have either Section 5.03 or 5.04 be applied
to all of the Outstanding Securities of that series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Five. 

SECTION 5.03    Legal Defeasance and Discharge.    

        Upon
the Issuer's exercise under Section 5.02 of the option applicable to this Section 5.03, the Issuer shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with
respect to all Outstanding Securities of the particular series and any coupons appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance"). For this
purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged all the obligations relating to the Outstanding Securities of that series, including any coupons
appertaining thereto, and the Securities of that series, including any coupons appertaining thereto, shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 5.06 and the
other Sections of this Indenture referred to below in this Section 5.03, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this
Indenture and cured all then existing Events of Default (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the Issuer's or any Guarantor's obligations, as the case may be, with respect to Securities of such series
under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 11.02 and 11.03, (ii) rights of Holders to receive payments of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities of such series as
they shall become due from time to time and other rights, duties and obligations of Holders as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts so deposited with the Trustee, (iii) the rights,
obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (for which purposes the Securities of such series shall be deemed outstanding), (iv) this Article Five and the obligations set forth in
Section 5.06 hereof and (v) the obligations of the Issuer and each Guarantor under Section 7.07 hereof. 

        Subject
to compliance with this Article Five, the Issuer may exercise its option under Section 5.03 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 5.04 with
respect to the Securities of a particular series and any coupons appertaining thereto. 

SECTION 5.04    Covenant Defeasance.    

        Upon
the Issuer's exercise under Section 5.02 of the option applicable to this Section 5.04, the Issuer shall be released from any obligations under the covenants contained
in Sections 11.04, 11.05, 11.06, 11.08 and 11.09 hereof or established pursuant to Section 3.01 or 10.01 hereof with respect to the Outstanding Securities of the particular series on and
after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the Securities of that series and any coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed not
"Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be
deemed "Outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance
means that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of that series and any coupons appertaining thereto, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term,
condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or Event of Default under Section 6.01(4) or any Event of Default
specified pursuant to Section 3.01 or 10.01 but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of that series shall be unaffected thereby. 

26

 

SECTION 5.05    Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.    

        The
following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 5.03 or Section 5.04 to the Outstanding Securities of a particular series: 

        (a)   the
Issuer must irrevocably deposit, or cause to be irrevocably deposited, with the Trustee for the Securities of that series, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders
of the Securities of that series, cash in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of that series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the
Securities of that series), U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, due on the
outstanding Securities of that series and any related coupons at the Stated Maturity, or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, with respect to the outstanding Securities of that
series and any related coupons; 

        (b)   in
the case of Legal Defeasance only, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series (1) an Opinion of Counsel confirming that,
subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, since the date on which Securities of such series were originally issued, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. Federal income tax law, to the
effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of that series will not recognize
income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred or (2) a copy of a ruling or other formal statement or action to that effect received from or published by the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service; 

        (c)   in
the case of Covenant Defeasance only, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject
to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

        (d)   no
Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that
series (other than any event resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 

        (e)   such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement (other than this
Indenture) or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound; and 

        (f)    the
Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion of counsel may be
subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been
complied with. 

        As
used in this Article Five, "U.S. Government Obligations" means securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States of America for payment of which its full faith
and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the timely payment of which is
unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation of the United States of America, which, in either case under clauses (i) or (ii), are not callable or redeemable at the option
of the issuer thereof, and will also include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Obligation or a specified payment of interest
on or principal of any such U.S. Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depository receipt, provided that (except as required 

27

 

by
law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S.
Government Obligation or the specific payment of interest on or principal of the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt. 

SECTION 5.06    Survival of Certain Obligations.    

        Notwithstanding
the satisfaction and discharge of the Securities of a particular series referred to in Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.04, or 5.05, the respective obligations of the Issuer
and the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series under Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 3.09, 5.07, 5.08, 5.09 and 6.08, Article Seven, and Sections 8.01, 8.02, 11.02, 11.03 and
11.04, shall survive with respect to Securities of that series until the Securities of that series are no longer outstanding, and thereafter the obligations of the Issuer and the Trustee for the
Securities of a particular series with respect to that series under Sections 5.07, 5.08 and 5.09 shall survive. Nothing contained in this Article Five shall abrogate any of the obligations or
duties of the Trustee of any series of Securities under this Indenture. 

SECTION 5.07    Application of Trust Money.    

        Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 11.03, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 shall be held in trust and applied
by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or any Guarantor acting as its own
Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee. 

SECTION 5.08    Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent.    

        Any
money deposited with the Trustee or any other Paying Agent remaining unclaimed by the Holders of any Securities for two years after the date upon which the principal of or interest
on such Securities shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Issuer by the Trustee or any such other Paying Agent and such Holders shall thereafter be entitled to look to the Issuer
only as general creditors for payment thereof (unless otherwise provided by law); provided, however,
that, before the Trustee or any such other Paying Agent is required to make any such payment to the Issuer, the Trustee may, upon the request of the Issuer and at the expense of the Issuer, cause to
be published once in an Authorized Newspaper a notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after the date set forth in said notice, the balance of such money then unclaimed will be returned to
the Issuer. 

SECTION 5.09    Reinstatement.    

        If
the Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 5.01 or 5.02, as the case may be, by reason of any legal proceeding or by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer's and each Guarantor's obligations under this
Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee is permitted
to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 5.01 or 5.02, as the case may be; provided that, if the Issuer
or any Guarantor has made payment of principal of, or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such
Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee.

solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified
mail, to the Issuer or any Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Issuer or any Guarantor and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or 

        (5)   the
entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or any Significant
Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary a bankrupt

ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90
consecutive days; or 

        (6)   the

taking
possession by a Custodian of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or any Significant
Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action, or the taking of any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; or 

        (7)   any
Guarantee shall for any reason cease to be, or shall for any reason be asserted in writing by any Guarantor not to be, in full force and effect and enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except to the extent contemplated by the Indenture and any such Guarantee; or 

        (8)   any
other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 

SECTION 6.02    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.    

        If
an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding (other than of a type specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6)) occurs and is continuing, then
in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of that
series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer or a Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become
immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in any of the Securities of such series to the contrary notwithstanding; provided,  however, that
payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of such series shall remain subordinated to the extent
provided in Article Four. 

        At
any time after such 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 as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Issuer or a Guarantor and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if 

        (1)   the
Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 

        (A)  all
overdue interest on all Securities of that series, 

        (B)  the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at
the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, 

        (C)  to
the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and 

        (D)  all
sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any
other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof; 

and 

        (2)   all
Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by
such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13. 

No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

30

 

        Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under Section 6.01(5) or (6), all outstanding Securities shall IPSO FACTO become due and payable without
further action or notice. 

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

        The
Issuer covenants that if 

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

        (2)   default
is made in the payment of the principal of (or, premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, or 

        (3)   default
is made in the making or satisfaction of any sinking fund payment or analogous obligation when the same becomes due pursuant to the terms of any Security, 

the
Issuer, upon demand of the Trustee, will pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal, including any sinking
fund payment or analogous obligations (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and
premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and
expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due to the Trustee under
Section 7.07 hereof. 

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

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

SECTION 6.04    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.    

        In
case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the
Issuer, any Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Issuer, any Guarantor or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the
principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer for the
payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 

        (i)    to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such
other papers or documents and take such other actions, including participating as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter, as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, 

31

 

expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

        (ii)   to
collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and to distribute the same; 

        (iii)  and
any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 

        Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding except as
aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person or to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, on any committee of creditors. 

SECTION 6.05    Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of Securities.    

        All
rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production
thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in
respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

SECTION 6.06    Application of Money Collected.    

        Subject
to the provisions of Article Four, any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee
and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially
paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

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

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

        THIRD:
To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer, its successors or assigns, or to whomever may be so lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct. 

SECTION 6.07    Limitation on Suits.    

        No
Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 

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

32

 

        (2)   the
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 

        (3)   such
Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

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

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

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

SECTION 6.08    Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.    

        Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment (subject to the provisions
of Article Four) of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the
case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

SECTION 6.09    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.    

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

SECTION 6.10    Rights and Remedies Cumulative.    

        Except
as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder,
or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

SECTION 6.11    Delay or Omission Not Waiver.    

        No
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of
any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

33

 

SECTION 6.12    Control by Holders.    

        The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that 

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

        (2)   the
Trustee shall not determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of the Securities of such series not taking part in such
direction, or to the Holders of the Securities of any other series, and 

        (3)   the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 

SECTION 6.13    Waiver of Past Defaults.    

        Subject
to Section 6.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities
of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default 

        (1)   in
the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, or 

        (2)   in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Ten cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such
series affected. 

        Upon
any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

SECTION 6.14    Undertaking for Costs.    

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

SECTION 6.15    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.    

        The
Issuer and each Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer and each
Guarantor (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the 

34

 

Trustee,
but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 

 
 

  ARTICLE SEVEN    
    
    THE TRUSTEE    
    

SECTION 7.01    Certain Duties and Responsibilities.    

        (a)   Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default, 

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

        (2)   in
the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any 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 to the requirements of this Indenture but need not
verify the accuracy of the contents thereof or whether procedures specified by or pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture have been followed in the preparation thereof. 

        (b)   In
case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. 

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

        (1)   this
subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section; 

        (2)   the
Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

        (3)   the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, determined as provided in Section 6.12, 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; 

        (4)   no
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
is not reasonably assured to it; and 

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

35

 

SECTION 7.02    Notice of Defaults.    

        Within
90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such
series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived;  provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium,
if any) or interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected
in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the
withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series; and provided,  further, that in the case of any default of the
character specified in Section 6.01(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice
to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or
both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. 

SECTION 7.03    Certain Rights of Trustee.    

        Subject
to the provisions of Section 7.01: 

        (a)   the
Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of Indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties; 

        (b)   any
request or direction of the Issuer or any Guarantor mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Issuer Request or Issuer Order or similar document and any
resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 

        (c)   whenever
in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any
action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers' Certificate; 

        (d)   the
Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 

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

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

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

36

 

        (h)   the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter unless a Responsible Officer assigned to and working in the Trustee's corporate trust
department has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice thereof is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office and such notice references the Securities generally, the Issuer, a
Guarantor or this Indenture. Whenever reference is made in this Indenture to an Event of Default, such reference shall, insofar as determining any liability on the part of the Trustee is concerned, be
construed to refer only to an Event of Default of which the Trustee is deemed to have actual knowledge in accordance with this paragraph; 

        (i)    the
permissive right of the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any actions enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty; 

        (j)    in
no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if
the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and 

        (k)   in
no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused by,
directly or indirectly, forces beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or
natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services. 

SECTION 7.04    Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.    

        The
recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer or any Guarantor, and the Trustee
assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for
the use or application by the Issuer or any Guarantor of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 

SECTION 7.05    May Hold Securities.    

        The
Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer or any Guarantor, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and, subject to Sections 7.08 and 7.13, may otherwise deal with the Issuer or such Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security
Registrar or such other agent. 

SECTION 7.06    Money Held in Trust.    

        Money
held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any
money received by it hereunder. 

SECTION 7.07    Compensation and Reimbursement.    

        The
Issuer and the Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, 

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

        (2)   except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and 

37

 

        (3)   to
indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, of defending itself against any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. 

        As
security for the performance of the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds
held or collected by the Trustee, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities. 

        If
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01, the expenses and the
compensation for the services will be intended to constitute expenses of administration under Bankruptcy Law. 

        The
provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge or termination of this Indenture. 

SECTION 7.08    Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.    

        The
Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the period of time provided
for therein. In determining whether the Trustee has a conflicting interest as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series, there shall be excluded this Indenture with respect to Securities of any particular series of Securities other than that series. Nothing
herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 

SECTION 7.09    Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.    

        There

of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and having its Corporate Trust Office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 

SECTION 7.10    Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.    

        (a)   No
resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by
the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11. 

        (b)   The
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer. If the instrument of acceptance
by a successor Trustee required by Section 7.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 10 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 the Securities of such series. 

        (c)   The
Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer. 

38

 

        (d)   If
at any time: 

        (1)   the
Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.08(a) after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security
for at least six months, or 

        (2)   the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer, any Guarantor or by any such
Holder, or 

        (3)   the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any
public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 

then,
in any such case, (i) the Issuer or any Guarantor by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 6.14, any Holder
who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 

        (e)   If
the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect to the Securities
of one or more series, the Issuer, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any
such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the
Issuer and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11,
become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If no successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 7.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of
a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series. 

        (f)    The
Issuer shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each
notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

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 Issuer 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 Issuer, any Guarantor or
the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such 

39

 

successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder. 

        (b)   In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, each Guarantor, 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 (1) 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, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring
with respect to all Securities, 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 (3) 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 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 and 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 upon execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective to the extent provided therein 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 Issuer, any Guarantor or any successor
Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all 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. 

        (c)   Upon
request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
Trustee all 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. 

SECTION 7.12    Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.    

        Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,  provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any 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 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 Issuer.    

        The
Trustee is subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed 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 indicated therein.

thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and
will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act or of any failure by the Issuer or any Guarantor (or by any other obligor on the Securities of that series) to make any payment of
the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable. 

        Whenever
the Issuer shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, at or prior to the opening of business on each due date of the principal of (and premium,
if any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, so becoming due, such sum to be held
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal (and premium, if any) or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure so to act. 

        If
the Issuer shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee for any series of Securities, it will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying
Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 

        (1)   hold
all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 

        (2)   give
the Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment of principal
(and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of that series; and 

        (3)   at
any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying
Agent. 

        The
Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder or for any other reason, pay or
by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust for any such series by the Issuer, any Guarantor or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon
the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer, any Guarantor 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. 

        Any
money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer or any Guarantor in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on
any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer or any Guarantor on
Issuer Request subject to applicable abandoned property and escheat law, or (if then held by the Issuer or any Guarantor) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer or any such Guarantor for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money,
and all liability of the Issuer or any such Guarantor as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided,  however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent,
before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published
once a week for two consecutive weeks (in each case on any day of the week) in an Authorized Newspaper notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall
not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

SECTION 11.04    Corporate Existence.

to Article Nine, each of the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence. 

SECTION 11.05    Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.    

        The
Parent Guarantor will, and will cause each Significant Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor to, pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same
shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Parent Guarantor or any such Significant Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or
property of the Parent Guarantor or any such Significant Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property
of the Parent Guarantor or any such Significant Subsidiary; provided, however, that none of the Parent
Guarantor nor any Significant Subsidiary shall be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings. 

SECTION 11.06    Maintenance of Properties.

all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Issuer may be necessary so that the
business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times; provided, however,
that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Issuer from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Issuer desirable in the
conduct of its business and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Securities of any series. 

SECTION 11.07    Waiver of Certain Covenants.    

        The
Issuer may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 11.04, 11.05 and 11.06 or established pursuant to
Section 3.01 or 10.01, with respect to the Securities of any series, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or
affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Issuer
and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

        The
Issuer will, within 90 days after the close of each fiscal year, commencing with the first fiscal year following the issuance of Securities of any series under this Indenture,
file with the Trustee a certificate of the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Issuer, covering the period from the date of issuance
of such Securities to the end of the fiscal year in which such Securities were issued, in the case of the first such certificate, and covering the preceding fiscal year in the case of each subsequent
certificate, and stating whether or not, to the knowledge of the signer, the Issuer has complied with all conditions and covenants on its part contained in this Indenture, and, if the signer has

information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Parent Guarantor may
be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or, if the Parent Guarantor is not required to file information,
documents or reports pursuant to either of said Sections, then it shall file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the
Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in respect of a
security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations; 

        (2)   file
with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents
and reports with respect to
compliance by the Parent Guarantor with the conditions and covenants of this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and 

        (3)   transmit

prescribed from time to time by the Commission. 

        Delivery
of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer's or the Parent Guarantor's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the
Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).

    REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES    
    

SECTION 12.01    Applicability of Article.    

        Securities
of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.01 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. 

48

 

SECTION 12.02    Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.    

        The
election of the Issuer to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Issuer of less than all the Securities of
any series, the Issuer shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Issuer (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such
Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. 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 Issuer shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 

SECTION 12.03    Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.    

        If
less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection
for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a
denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series; provided,  however, that Securities of such series registered in
the name of the Issuer shall be excluded from any such selection for redemption until all
Securities of such series not so registered shall have been previously selected for redemption. 

        The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed. 

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

SECTION 12.04    Notice of Redemption.    

        Notice
of redemption shall be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed. 

        All
notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers) and shall state: 

        (1)   the
Redemption Date, 

        (2)   the
Redemption Price, 

        (3)   if
less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the
particular Securities to be redeemed, 

        (4)   that
on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease
to accrue on and after said date, 

        (5)   that
interest, if any, accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, 

        (6)   the
place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and 

49

 

        (7)   that
the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. 

        Notice
of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of
the Issuer. No such notice shall be given at any time when the Issuer or the Trustee shall have received notice that there
exists a default specified in the first paragraph of Section 4.03 or that such a default will exist at the date fixed for such redemption or as a result of such redemption. 

SECTION 12.05    Deposit of Redemption Price.    

        On
or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or any Guarantor is acting
as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 11.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest
Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 

SECTION 12.06    Securities Payable on Redemption Date.    

        Notice
of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and
from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security
for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date;  provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption
Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and
the provisions of Section 3.07. 

        If
any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption
Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 

SECTION 12.07    Securities Redeemed in Part.    

        Any
Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuer shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such
Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the security so surrendered. Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 may be
redeemed in part, but only in whole multiples of $1,000. 

SECTION 12.08    Securities No Longer Outstanding After Notice to Trustee and Deposit of Cash.    

        If
the Issuer, having given notice to the Trustee as provided in Section 12.02, shall have deposited with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of any
Securities of any series or portions thereof called for redemption in whole or in part cash or other form of payment if permitted by the terms of such Securities (which amount shall be immediately due
and payable to the Holders of such Securities or portions thereof), in the amount necessary so to redeem all such Securities or portions thereof on the Redemption Date and provision satisfactory to
the Trustee shall have been made for the giving of notice of such redemption, such Securities or portions thereof, shall thereupon, for all purposes of this Indenture, be deemed to be no longer
Outstanding, and the Holders thereof shall be entitled to no rights thereunder or hereunder, except the right to receive payment of the 

50

 

Redemption
Price, together with interest accrued to the Redemption Date, on or after the Redemption Date of such Securities or portions thereof.

        The
provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01
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 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 13.02. 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 13.02    Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.    

        The
Issuer (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which
have been redeemed either at the election of the Issuer 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 pursuant to the terms of such Securities.
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 13.03    Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.    

        Not
less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the amount
of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 13.02 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than
30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 12.03 and
cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer in the manner provided in Section 12.04. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of

to take any action authorized in Section 15.01 by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed or

        To
be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders a Person shall (a) be a Holder of one or more Securities of a series affected by the action proposed to be taken, or (b) be
a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by the Holder of one or more such Securities. The right of Holders to have their votes counted shall be subject to the proviso in the definition
of "Outstanding" in Section 1.01. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Holders shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their
counsel, any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Issuer and its counsel.

        At
any meeting of Holders, the presence of Persons holding or representing Securities in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to take action on the business for the transaction of
which such meeting was called shall be necessary to constitute a quorum. No business shall be transacted in the absence of a quorum unless a quorum is represented when the meeting is called to order.
In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of the Holders of Securities (as provided in
Section 15.03), be dissolved. In any other case the Persons holding or representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting may adjourn such a
meeting for a period of not less than 10 days with the same effect, for all intents and purposes, as though a quorum had been present. In the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting,
such adjourned meeting may be similarly further adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in
Section 15.02 except that, in the case of publication, such notice need be published only once but must be given not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to
be reconvened, and in the case of mailing, such notice may be mailed not less than five days prior to such date. 

53

 

        Any
Holder of a Security who has executed an instrument in writing complying with the provisions of Section 1.04 shall be deemed to be present for the purposes of determining a
quorum and be deemed to have voted; provided, however, that such Holder shall be considered as present
or voting only with respect to the matters covered by such instrument in writing. 

        Any
resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of the Holders of Securities of any series duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all Holders of such series
of Securities whether or not present or represented at the meeting. 

SECTION 15.06    Regulations.    

        Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities, in regard to
proof of the holding of Securities and of the appointment of proxies, and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and
other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think fit. 

        The
Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Issuer or by Holders of Securities as
provided in Section 15.03, in which case the Issuer or the Holders of Securities calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman
and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting. 

        At
any meeting each Holder of a Security of a series entitled to vote at such meeting, or proxy therefor, shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount (in the case of
Original Issue Discount Securities, such principal amount to be determined as provided in the definition of "Outstanding") of Securities of such series held or represented by him;  provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security
challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote except as a Holder of Securities of such series or
proxy therefor. Any meeting of Holders of Securities duly called pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.02 or 15.03 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time, and the
meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice. 

SECTION 15.07    Voting Procedure.    

        The
vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders shall be by written ballot on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities entitled to vote at

  ARTICLE SIXTEEN    
    
    GUARANTEE OF SECURITIES    
    

SECTION 16.01    Guarantee.    

        Except
as otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing a series of Securities and subject to the provisions of this Article
Sixteen, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors
and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on and liquidated damages in respect of the Securities when due, whether on the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by
redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture (including all obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee under this Indenture) and the Securities and
(b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer whether for expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the
Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the "Guaranteed Obligations"). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or
in part, without notice or further assent from each such Guarantor, and that each such Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article Sixteen notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any
Guaranteed Obligation. 

        Each
Guarantor waives (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) (a) presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
(b) notice of protest for nonpayment and (c) notice of any default under Securities of any series or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be
affected by (i) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the
Securities of any series or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or
provisions of this Indenture, the Securities of any series or any other agreement relating to this Indenture or the Securities; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder or the
Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(vi) any change in the ownership of such Guarantor, except as provided in Section 16.02(b). 

        Each
Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) (x) any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Guarantors,
such that such Guarantor's obligations would be less than the full amount claimed, (y) any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Issuer first be used and depleted as
payment of the Issuer's or such 

55

 

Guarantor's
obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Guarantor hereunder and (z) any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Issuer be sued
prior to an action being initiated against such Guarantor. 

        Each
Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

        The
Guarantee of each Guarantor is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in Section 4.01(b), subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all Senior Indebtedness of the relevant Guarantor and is made subject to such provisions of this Indenture. 

        Except
as expressly set forth in Sections 5.02 and 16.02, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination
for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by
reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall
not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities of any
series or any other agreement relating to this Indenture or the Securities, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of
the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise
operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

        Each
Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee
herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise. 

        In
furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure
of the Issuer to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or
comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or
the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the
extent not prohibited by law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Issuer to the Holders and the Trustee. 

        Each
Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in
full of all Guaranteed Obligations and all obligations to which the Guaranteed Obligations are subordinated pursuant to Section 4.01(b). Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on
the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes
of any Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event
of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article Six, such Guaranteed Obligations 

56

 

(whether
or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 16.01. 

        Each
Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under
this Section 16.01. 

SECTION 16.02    Limitation on Liability.    

        (a)   Any
term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum, aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any
Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. 

        (b)   This
Guarantee as to any Guarantor (other than the Parent Guarantor) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Guarantor shall be deemed to be
released from all obligations under this Article Sixteen and Section 9.02 upon (i) the merger or consolidation of such Guarantor with or into any Person other than the Issuer or a
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Issuer where such Guarantor is not the surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) the sale, exchange or transfer to any Person not an Affiliate of
the Issuer of all the Capital Stock in, or all or substantially all the assets of, such Guarantor, provided however, that in the case of (i) and (ii)
above, such merger, consolidation, sale, exchange or transfer is made in accordance with Section 9.01 and the successor Person or transferee has assumed all of the obligations of such Guarantor
under this Indenture and the Securities. This Guarantee also shall be automatically released upon the release or discharge of the Indebtedness that results in the creation of such Guarantee, as the
case may be. At the request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release. 

SECTION 16.03    Successors and Assigns.    

        This
Article Sixteen shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and,
in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities of any series shall
automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture. 

SECTION 16.04    No Waiver.    

        Neither
a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article Sixteen shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein
expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article Sixteen at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 

SECTION 16.05    Modification.    

        No
modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article Sixteen, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any
Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one
and the same instrument.

H:

      

      WHEREAS, a shareholder derivative
demand has been made on the Company by PL Capital, LLC and/or Mr. John Palmer as
set forth in a letter to the Board of Directors dated March 25, 2009 (the
“Shareholder Demand”); and

      

      WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has
determined it is in the best interests of the Company to create a committee
consisting of three disinterested persons for the purpose of performing the
duties and responsibilities under Indiana Code 23-1-32 (the “Special
Committee”); and

      

      WHEREAS, the Board of Directors desires
to appoint the Indemnitee to serve on the Special Committee; and

      

      WHEREAS, in recognition of the
heightened scrutiny and responsibility associated with serving on the Special
Committee, and as an inducement to the Indemnitee to so serve, the Board of
Directors has determined that the Indemnitee should be provided with adequate
assurances of indemnity as provided in this Agreement; and

      

      WHEREAS, the Indemnitee desires to
serve on the Special Committee at the request of the Board of Directors of the
Company subject to the Company’s execution of this Agreement; and

      

      WHEREAS, this Agreement is permitted
under Indiana law, which is the corporate law governing the Company, as well as
the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and has been approved by the Company’s
Board of Directors.

      

      NOW,
THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Company and the Indemnitee, intending to be legally bound hereby, hereto agree
as follows:

      

      1.           Certain

      party),
and (iv) appeal of any of the foregoing, in each case in which the Indemnitee is
a party or a participant, is in any way involved or named or incurs any Losses
or Expenses and in connection with, relating to or arising from an Indemnifiable
Act.

      

      (b)           “D&O
Insurance” means the Company’s (i) directors’ and officers’, EPLI, ERISA and
fiduciary claims made insurance policy in effect on the date of this Agreement,
which presently has an aggregate liability limit of Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000), (ii) “tail” coverage or an extended reporting period under such
policy for the Indemnitee and (iii) any other applicable insurance policy
providing coverage to the Indemnitee.  The D&O Insurance presently
has a deductible or retainage amount equal to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000).

      

      (c)           “Expense” or
“Expenses” includes, but is not limited to, any and all expenses and
costs incurred or paid by the Indemnitee in connection with or relating to a
Claim for an Indemnifiable Act including, but not limited to, (i) reasonable
fees, retainers, costs, expenses and disbursements of attorneys for the
Indemnitee, (ii) reasonable costs, expenses and other amounts (including
reasonable travel and copying costs) paid or incurred by the Indemnitee in
connection with or relating to the Indemnitee investigating, defending, being a
witness or deponent in, preparing for, participating in or otherwise dealing
with any Claim, and (iii) deductibles and retainage amounts under the D&O
Insurance.  “Expense” and “Expenses” shall not include the value of
any time of the Indemnitee spent investigating, defending, being a witness or
deponent in, preparing for, participating in or otherwise dealing with any
Claim.

      

      (d)           “Indemnifible Act”
means any event, occurrence, action, decision, inaction or omission in the

includes, but is not limited to, any and all monetary obligations, liabilities

      (f)           “Standard of Conduct”
means that the Indemnitee acted, or that the Indemnitee’s conduct with respect
to an Indemnifiable Act was, based upon the facts then known to him, in good
faith in what he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the Company, and, in addition, in any criminal Claim the Indemnitee
had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful or no reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.  The termination or
resolution of any Claim, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without
court approval or with or without prejudice), consent decree or conviction or
upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere shall not of itself create a
presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the Standard of
Conduct.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      

      2.           Indemnification.

       

                 
(a)          Except as
provided in Section 2(b) hereof, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Indemnitee for and against, and shall pay each and
every Loss and Expense of the Indemnitee in connection with or relating to a
Claim with respect to which an Indemnifiable Act is involved and the Indemnitee
has met or complied with the Standard of Conduct.  There shall be a
presumption that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment and
defense under this Agreement.

       

                  (b)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall have no
obligation to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the
Indemnitee, or to pay, under this Agreement to the extent that (i) the
Indemnitee has not met or complied with the Standard of Conduct, (ii) the
proceeds from any policy of D&O Insurance have been paid to or on behalf of
the Indemnitee in full and complete satisfaction of a Loss or Expense covered by
this Agreement, (iii) a Loss or Expense has already been paid, in full, to or on
behalf of the Indemnitee by the Company or by another source of indemnity, (iv)
payment by the Company of any Loss or Expense is prohibited by any law, rule or
regulation now or hereafter in effect or by any court or government agency or
authority, or (v) the Loss or Expense is not covered by or otherwise not
properly payable under this Agreement.

      

      3.           Indemnification
Procedures.

      

      (a)          Promptly
after the Company or the Indemnitee receives notice or otherwise becomes aware
of the existence, commencement or threat of any Claim, the Company or the
Indemnitee, as the case may be, shall give written notice (the “Indemnification
Notice”) to the other, provide pertinent information with respect to such Claim
and keep the other generally informed of, and consult with the other with
respect to, the status of such Claim.

      

      (b)          The
Company shall give prompt notice of, and take such other necessary or
appropriate actions with respect to, the Claim as is required by the policies of
D&O Insurance.  The Company shall thereafter use its reasonable
efforts to cause the insurers that have issued the D&O Insurance to pay promptly to or on
behalf of the Indemnitee all Losses and Expenses relating to such Claim in
accordance with and to the extent covered by the policies of D&O
Insurance.

      

      (c)          
In all cases, the Company shall pay all Expenses of the Indemnitee in advance of
the final disposition, termination or resolution of the applicable Claim unless
payment of such Expenses has already been made to or on behalf of the Indemnitee
or is prohibited by any law, rule or regulation or by any court or government
agency or authority.  In all cases, the Company shall pay all Losses
of the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition, termination or resolution
of the applicable Claim unless payment for such Losses has already been made to
or on behalf of the Indemnitee or is prohibited by any law, rule or regulation
or by any court or government agency or authority.  All payments of
Losses or Expenses on account of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement
shall be made within thirty (30) days of each written request therefor by the
Indemnitee.  Each such written request shall be accompanied by a
written affirmation by the Indemnitee that the Loss or Expense is covered by
this Agreement,

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          3

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      that the
Indemnitee has met or complied with the Standard of Conduct and that the
Indemnitee shall reimburse the Company as provided in Section 3(d)
hereof.

      

      (d)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall
reimburse the Company for all Losses and Expenses paid by the Company to or on
behalf of the Indemnitee in the event and only to the extent that the Indemnitee
is not entitled to indemnification for such Losses of Expenses pursuant to
Section 2(b) hereof.  The Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the
Company shall be unsecured and no interest shall accrue or be charged thereon
unless it is determined pursuant to one of the methods identified in Section
3(f) hereof that the Indemnitee is required to reimburse the Company and, in
such event, interest on the amount to be reimbursed to the Company by the
Indemnitee shall accrue and be due and payable from the date of the written
opinion of the law firm or the order or judgment of the court, as the case may
be, referenced in Section 3(f) hereof until the amount required to be reimbursed
plus all interest thereon shall have been paid in full by the
Indemnitee.  The rate of interest shall be equal to the highest prime
rate announced or utilized by Citizens Financial Bank as of the date that
interest shall begin to accrue and shall remain fixed as of the same date until
the amount to be reimbursed plus all interest thereon shall have been paid in
full.  If it has been determined pursuant to Section 3(f) hereof that
the Indemnitee is required to reimburse the Company for any Losses or Expenses
previously paid by the Company under this Agreement and the Indemnitee refuses
or is unable to reimburse the Company, then in addition to the interest
referenced above, the Indemnitee shall pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and
all other costs and expenses of the Company relating to its collection efforts
for the amount owed by the Indemnitee.

      

      (e)   
      In connection with the defense of any Claim
against or involving the Indemnitee, the Company shall have the right, at its
option, to defend, at its own expense and through legal counsel of its own
choosing, such Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have first
consented to the legal counsel selected by the Company, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld.  If the Company undertakes to defend a
Claim, it shall promptly give written notice to the Indemnitee of its intention
to do so.  If legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee
is not selected by the Company within thirty (30) days of any Indemnification
Notice, then the Indemnitee may select counsel to defend the Claim and, in such
event, the Company shall be responsible for and pay all Expenses relating to
such counsel; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee shall unreasonably fail
to give his consent to the legal counsel selected by the Company, then the
Company shall have the right to engage counsel of its choice to defend such
Claim without the necessity of obtaining the Indemnitee’s consent, and all
Expenses relating to such counsel shall nevertheless be paid by the
Company.

      

      Whether
or not the Company chooses to defend a Claim, the Company and the Indmenitee
shall cooperate in the defense thereof and shall furnish such records,
information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings,
mediations, arbitrations, hearings, trials, appeals and pre-trial and
post-judgment proceedings as may be reasonably requested in connection
therewith.

      

      Notwithstanding
an election by the Company to assume the defense of a Claim, the Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the
defense of 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          4

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

         

        such
Claim but, in such event, the Indemnitee shall be responsible for and pay all
Expenses relating to such separate counsel.  If, during the course of
the defense of any Claim, a conflict of interest develops with the legal counsel
defending the Claim, then the party who has selected such counsel shall promptly
notify the other party and new counsel shall be selected using the same
procedures and time periods referenced in this subsection.

      

      

      The Company shall have no obligation to
indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnitee, or to pay, under this
Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of a Claim effected without the
Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.  The Company shall not, without the Indemnitee’s prior
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle any
Claim in any manner which would impose or result in any Loss or Expense that is
not payable in full to or on behalf of the Indemnitee by the Company, any
D&O Insurance or another source of
indemnity, which would impose or result in any fine or penalty against the
Indemnitee or which does not include as part of the settlement a full and
complete release of the Indemnitee with respect to the Claim.

      

      (f)           In
the event of any dispute between the Company and the Indemnitee under this
Agreement or relating to the respective obligations of the Company and the
Indemnitee hereunder, the Company shall nevertheless pay all Losses and Expenses
of the Indemnitee and provide indemnification and defense subject to the
Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Company pursuant to Section 3(d)
hereof.  The Company and the Indemnitee shall resolve any such dispute
through either of the following two methods: (i) by the written opinion of a law
firm mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Indemnitee or, if the Company
and the Indemnitee are unable to mutually agree upon such a law firm within
fifteen days of the proposal by either party to resolve the dispute by law firm
written opinion, or (ii) by a court of competent jurisdiction.  If the
method in (i) above is used, the Company and the Indemnitee shall mutually agree
to the procedures to be utilized by the law firm in connection with its written
opinion, all fees, costs and expenses of the law firm in connection with its
written opinion shall be paid by the Company, and the Company and the Indemnitee
shall not challenge the conclusions set forth in such written opinion in court
(with the opinion of such law firm being final and binding upon the Company and
the Indemnitee).

      

      In connection with any written opinion
of a law firm or any action, suit or proceeding in which the Indemnitee seeks to
enforce this Agreement, the Company shall have the burden of proof that any
indemnification, payment or defense is not required under this
Agreement.  The termination, resolution or completion of any Claim by
judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval or whether
with or without prejudice), consent decree or conviction, or upon a plea of
guilty, nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a
presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet or comply with the Standard of
Conduct.  In addition, a determination that a Loss or Expense is not
covered by D&O Insurance shall not of itself
create a presumption that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement.  Until it is determined by the written opinion
of a law firm or a court (as provided in this subsection) that the Indemnitee is
not entitled to indemnification, payment or defense under this Agreement, the
Company shall indemnify, pay, defend and hold harmless the Indemnitee under this
Agreement, subject to the Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Company
pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          5

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      

      4.           Partial
Indemnity; Success in Defense of a Claim.  If the Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification, payment or defense under this Agreement for a
portion, but not all, of any Losses or Expenses, the Company shall nevertheless
indemnify, pay and defend the Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which the
Indemnitee is entitled.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits
in connection with the defense of any Claims relating in whole or in part to an
Indemnifiable Act, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against and paid for all
Losses and Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

      

      5.           No
Presumption.  For purposes of
this Agreement, the disposition, termination or resolution of any Claim by
judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval or whether
with or without prejudice), consent decree or conviction, or upon a plea of
guilty or nolo contendere or its equivalent,
shall not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet or comply with
the Standard of Conduct or is not entitled to indemnification or payment under
this Agreement or that the Indemnitee had any particular belief.

      

      6.           Rights
under Company’s Articles of Incorporation.  As provided under
Section 6.2(b) of Article VI of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation now in
effect, Indemnitee shall have the right to indemnification and advancement of
Liabilities and Expenses (as defined therein) to the fullest extent of the
provisions of Section 6.2 of Article VI of the Company’s Articles of
Incorporation with respect to the indemnification of, and advancement of
Liabilities and Expenses to, directors or officers of the Company.

      

      7.           Non-exclusivity;
Conflict.  The rights of the
Indemnitee under this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights that
the Indemnitee may have under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws
or under applicable law, all as presently or hereafter in effect (but, in the
case of any amendment or successor to the present provisions regarding
indemnification of the Indemnitee set forth in the Company’s Articles of
Incorporation or By-Laws or as provided by applicable law, only to the extent
that such amendments or successor provisions provide broader indemnification
rights than the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws or applicable law
currently provide), under any D&O Insurance or
otherwise.

      

      Notwithstanding the foregoing,
subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Company may propose to amend,
restate or otherwise change its Articles of Incorporation only to the extent
that any such proposal to amend, restate or change does not reduce or adversely
affect the rights to indemnification provided to the Indemnitee under Section
6.2 of Article VI of the Company’s current Articles of
Incorporation.

      

      In the event of any conflict in the
indemnification provided to the Indemnitee now or in the future under the
Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws, applicable law or this
Agreement, the provisions providing the Indemnitee with the broadest
indemnification shall apply and control.

      

      8.           Subrogation.  In the event of
any payment by the Company under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated
to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the
Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents and other papers and do all other

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          6

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      acts and
things reasonably required by the Company to secure, perfect or enforce such
subrogation rights.

      

      9.           D&O
Insurance.  For a period of four (4) years following the date
that the Indemnitee resigns or is no longer serving as a member of the Special
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company, at its sole
cost and expense, shall maintain in full force and effect and cover the
Indemnitee under the D&O Insurance or similar policy and shall maintain in
full force and effect “tail” coverage or an extended reporting period under the
D&O Insurance or similar policy for the Indemnitee.

      

      10.         Duration
of Agreement.  This Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect until the applicable statute of
limitations for each and every Claim in connection with or relating to an
Indemnifiable Act has expired.

      

      11.         Enforcement
Expenses.  The Company shall
pay the Indemnitee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses in
connection with or relating to the Indemnitee successfully establishing his
rights to indemnification, payment or defense (in whole or in part) under this
Agreement or otherwise successfully enforcing this Agreement.  The
Company shall pay such attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses (i) as they are
incurred by the Indemnitee and in advance of the disposition of any action or
claim by the Indemnitee under this Agreement, and (ii) within thirty (30) days
of each written request therefor.  If it is determined pursuant to the
methods specified in Section 3(f) hereof that the Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification, payment or defense under this Agreement or if the Indemnitee is
not successful in enforcing this Agreement against the Company, then the
Indemnitee shall reimburse the Company in accordance with Section 3(d) hereof
for the attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses so paid by the
Company.  If it is determined pursuant to Section 3(f) that the
Indemnitee is entitled to only a portion of the Losses or Expenses for which he
is seeking indemnification, payment or defense under this Agreement, then the
Company shall not pay all of the Indemnitee’s attorneys’ fees, costs and
expenses incurred in connection with his enforcement of this Agreement but shall
instead be obligated to pay only the Indemnitee’s total attorneys’ fees, costs
and expenses multiplied by a fraction whereby the numerator equals the amount
the Company is ultimately required to indemnify or pay the Indemnitee under this
Agreement and the denominator equals the total amount sought under this
Agreement by the Indemnitee.

      

      12.         Confidential
Information and Non-Disclosure.  The Indemnitee
hereby covenants and agrees (i) to maintain all Confidential Information (as
hereinafter defined) as strictly confidential, and (ii) not to discuss, disclose
or deliver any of the Confidential Information with or to any party other than
any person who at present or in the future is a member of the Board of
Directors, a member of the Special Committee, any advisor retained by the
Special Committee, senior management of the Company, or Indemnitee's personal
legal counsel (whom Indemnitee shall instruct to abide by the restrictions of
this Agreement as to any such Confidential Information); provided, however, that
the Indemnitee shall be permitted to discuss, disclose or deliver any
Confidential Information if he is requested or required to do so in connection
with any Claim or any subpoena or other legal process, or in connection with any
action or claim by the Indemnitee to enforce this Agreement so long as the
Indemnitee shall have first provided the Company with written notice of such a
request or requirement so that the

        Company
may seek a protective order or other relief or protection and/or waive in
writing the Indemnitee’s compliance with this Agreement.

      

      

      For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean any
and all information or materials (whether oral, in writing, in electronic
format, on a computer, disk or CD or otherwise) (i) relating or referring to the
business, operations, affairs, products, strategies, strategic plans,
techniques, processes, trade secrets, vendors, suppliers, customers, employees,
balance sheets, statements of earnings, assets, liabilities, sales, revenues,
income, estimates, projections and/or budgets of the Company that are not
available to a person outside of a member of the Board of Directors or senior
management of the Company (other than through a breach of this Agreement), (ii)
that is otherwise not publicly available (other than through a breach of this
Agreement), or (iii) relating or referring to specific details about the
Shareholder Demand; and including, but not limited to, any and all copies,
summaries, extracts, notes and analyses derived from the foregoing or prepared
by the Indemnitee.

      

      In
compliance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Indemnitee shall not disclose or use
the Nonpublic Personal Information (as hereinafter defined) that Indemnitee
receives from the Company relating to customers of the Company or any affiliate
or subsidiary thereof other than: (i) to carry out the purposes for which the
Company discloses such information to Indemnitee; or (ii) as otherwise permitted
by applicable law.

      

      For
purposed of this Agreement, the term “Nonpublic Personal Information” means
personally identifiable financial information and any list, description, or
other grouping of consumers (and publicly available information pertaining to
them) that is derived using any personally identifiable financial information
that is not publically available. 1  Personally identifiable financial
information means any information (i) a consumer provides to an entity to obtain
a financial product or service from them; (ii) about a consumer resulting from
any transaction involving a financial product or service between an entity and a
consumer; or (iii) an entity otherwise obtains about a consumer in connection
with providing a financial product or service to that consumer.2

      

                 Indemnitee
has in place appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards; (i)
to insure the security and confidentiality of records and information of
customers of the Company or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof that Indemnitee
receives from the Company; (ii) to protect against any anticipated threats or
hazards to the security or integrity of records and information of customers of
the Company or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof that Indemnitee receives from
the Company; and (iii) to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such
records or information of customers of the Company or any affiliate or
subsidiary thereof that Indemnitee receives from the Company which could result
in substantial harm or inconvenience to a customer of the Company or any
affiliate or subsidiary thereof.

      

      Indemnitee
hereby acknowledges that any records and information of customers of the Company
or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof that Indemnitee receives from the Company
and

      Indemnitee
shall provide a full disclosure of any breach in security of Indemnitee’s
premises or systems that result in an unauthorized intrusion into information of
customers of the Company or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof that Indemnitee
receives from the Company and that is maintained by Indemnitee as soon as
possible after the occurrence of the unauthorized access.

      

      13.           Miscellaneous.

      

      (a)           Binding Effect;
Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by or against the Company and the Indemnitee, as
well as the Company’s successors, assigns and legal representatives and the
Executive’s spouse, heirs, executors, estate and legal
representatives.  The Company shall not effect any sale, merger,
consolidation, share exchange, combination or reorganization unless the
surviving entity agrees in writing to assume all of the Company’s obligations
under this Agreement.  Neither the Company nor any shareholders of the
Company shall do any act or thing in an effort to or with the result of having
or causing the Company or any successor or assign to avoid any of the
obligations of the Company under this Agreement.

      

      (b)           Waiver.  Either
party hereto may, by a writing signed by the waiving party, waive the
performance by the other party of any of the covenants or agreements to be
performed by such other party under this Agreement.  The waiver by
either party hereto of a breach of or noncompliance with any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a continuing waiver or a waiver
of any other or subsequent breach or noncompliance hereunder.  The
failure or delay of either party at any time to insist upon the strict
performance of any provision of this Agreement or to enforce its rights or
remedies under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment of the right to insist upon strict performance of such provision,
or to pursue any of its rights or remedies for any breach hereof, at a future
time.

      

      (c)           Amendment.  This
Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a writing executed by
all of the parties hereto.

      

      (d)          
Headings.  The

      (e)           Severability.  In
case any one or more of the provisions (or any portion thereof) contained herein
shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any
other provision of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if
such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions (or portion
thereof) had never been contained herein; provided, however, that if any
provision (or any portion thereof) of this Agreement shall be determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, then such provision shall
be considered divisible and the court making such determination shall have the
power to reduce, limit or reform (but not increase or make greater) such
provision to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law, and
such provision shall then be enforceable against the appropriate party hereto in
its reformed, reduced or limited form.

      

      (f)          
 Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
agreement.

      

      (g)           Construction.  This
Agreement shall be deemed to have been drafted by both parties
hereto.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the fair
meaning of its provisions and its language shall not be strictly construed
against, nor shall ambiguities be resolved against, either party.

      

      (h)           Review and
Consultation.  The Indemnitee hereby acknowledges and agrees
that he (i) has read this Agreement in its entirety prior to executing it, and
(ii) understands the provisions and effects of this Agreement.  THE INDEMNITEE HEREBY UNDERSTANDS,
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT HE HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY ADVICE, COUNSEL OR
RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT FROM THE COMPANY, ANY DIRECTOR,
OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE OF THE COMPANY OR ANY ATTORNEY, ACCOUNTANT OR ADVISOR FOR
THE COMPANY.

      

      (i)         
  Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding
and agreement between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all other prior understandings, commitments, representations,
contracts and agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties hereto
relating to the matters contemplated hereby, other than the Company’s Articles
of Incorporation and By-Laws and applicable law.

      

      (j)          
 Certain
References.  Whenever in this Agreement a singular word is
used, it also shall include the plural wherever required by the context and
vice-versa.  All references to the masculine, feminine or neuter
genders herein shall include any other gender, as the context
requires.  Unless expressly provided otherwise, all references in this
Agreement to days shall mean calendar, not business, days.

      

      (k)           Governing
Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana, without reference to any
choice of law provisions, principles or rules thereof (whether of the State of
Indiana or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of any laws
of any jurisdiction other than the State of Indiana.
