 8.1. Certain Permitted Changes
in Executive’s Position. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, a change only in Executive’s title (but not a material reduction in the actual scope of Executive’s responsibilities, authority, or duties)
does not constitute a failure by the Company to perform any term or provision of this Agreement. In the event of such a change in the Executive’s title, any reference, whether express or implied, in this Agreement to Executive’s title will
be deemed to refer to Executive’s title as so changed.

 8.3. Nonwaiver. The failure of either party to insist upon
strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion will not operate as a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. Any waiver must be in a
writing signed by the party to be charged therewith. 
  
 8.4.
Assignment. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the consent

or amending or terminating that policy, plan, or program or adopting a new policy, plan, or program in lieu of the then existing policy, plan, or program. 
  
 8.10. Board Action. Any action that may be taken hereunder by the Board of Directors of the Company with respect to the compensation and

date is fixed, those Persons who were Holders of Outstanding Registered Securities at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled with respect to such Securities to take such action by vote or
consent or to revoke any vote or consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause
notice thereof to be given to the Trustee in writing in the manner provided in Section 106 and to the relevant Holders as set forth in Section 107. 
  
 (2) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by
a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer
acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person
executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
  
 (3) The principal amount and serial numbers of Registered Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register. 
  
 (4) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done,
omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. Any Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent or other Act as to his Security or portion of his Security; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the Act becomes effective. 
  
 SECTION 106. NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE AND COMPANY. 
  
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
  
 (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in
writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Department, or 
  
 (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the
Trustee by the Company, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

 SECTION 107. NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER. 
  
 Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given
(unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not
earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
  
 In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service, or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders of Registered Securities by mail, then such notification as shall
be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case in which notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered Security, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities. 
  
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any
action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
  
 SECTION 108. CONFLICT WITH TRUST
INDENTURE ACT. 
  
 If any provision hereof limits, qualifies
or conflicts with any provision of the Trust Indenture Act or another provision hereof required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall control. If any
provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the former provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded. 
  
 SECTION 109. EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS. 
  
 The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

 All covenants and agreements in
this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether or not so expressed. 
  
 SECTION 111. SEPARABILITY CLAUSE. 
  
 In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

 SECTION 112. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE. 
  
 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto
and their successors hereunder, any Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent and Security Registrar, and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 113. GOVERNING LAW. 
  
 This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, but without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby. 
  
 SECTION 114. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. 
  
 In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of principal and interest (and premium and Additional Amounts, if any) need not
be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity,
PROVIDED that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be. 
  
 SECTION 115. CORPORATE OBLIGATION. 
  
 No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, against any incorporator, subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, officer, director or employee of
the Company or the Trustee or of any predecessor or successor of the Company or the Trustee with respect to the Company’s obligations on the Securities or the obligations of the Company or the Trustee under this Indenture or any certificate or
other writing delivered in connection herewith.

 SECURITY FORMS 
  
 SECTION 201. FORMS GENERALLY. 
  
 The Securities of each series shall be Registered Securities and shall be in
substantially such form or forms (including temporary or permanent global form) as shall be established 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 identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any
securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of the Securities. If temporary Securities of any series are issued in global form as permitted by Section
304, the form thereof shall be established as provided in the preceding sentence. A copy of the Board Resolution establishing the form or forms of Securities of any series (or any such temporary global Security) 

  

 A-12 

 
shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 303 for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities (or any such temporary global Security). 
  
 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 thereof. 
  
 SECTION 202. FORM OF TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION. 
  
 The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially
the following form: 
  
 “This is one of the
Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. 
  

			
		
	By	 	 
	 	 	AUTHORIZED OFFICER.

  
 SECTION 203. SECURITIES IN
GLOBAL FORM. 
  
 If Securities of a series are issuable in
global form, as contemplated by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (10) of Section 301 and the provisions of Section 302, any such Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and
may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges.
Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or
Persons as shall be specified in such Security or in a Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or Section 304. Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver and
redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified in such Security or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has been, or
simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 103 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel. 
  
 The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303
shall apply to any Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 103 and
need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 303. 
  

 A-13 

 Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 201 and 307, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on any Security in permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein. 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 308 and except as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee shall treat a Person as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a global Security as shall be specified in a written statement, if any, of the Holder of such global
Security, which is produced to the Security Registrar by such Holder. 
  
 Global Securities may be issued in either temporary or permanent form. Permanent global Securities will be issued in definitive form. 
  
 SECTION 204. BOOK-ENTRY SECURITIES. 
  
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the contrary: 
  

(a) At the discretion of the Company, any Registered Security may be issued from time to time, in whole or in part, in permanent global form registered
in the name of a Depositary, or its nominee. Each such Registered Security in permanent global form is hereafter referred to as a “Book-Entry Security.” Subject to Section 303, upon such election, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
or an Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Book-Entry Securities that (i) are denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series if elected in whole or such
lesser amount if elected in part, (ii) are registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) are delivered by the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions and (iv) bear a
legend in substantially the following form (or such other form as the Depositary and the Company may agree upon): 
  
 UNLESS THIS SECURITY IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF [THE DEPOSITARY], TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE
OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF [NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY] OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF [THE DEPOSITARY] (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO [NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY] OR TO
SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF [THE DEPOSITARY]), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, [NOMINEE OF THE
DEPOSITARY], HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. 
  
 (b) Any Book-Entry
Security shall be initially executed and delivered as provided in Section 303. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Registered Securities not issued in global form, a
Book-Entry Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary, or by such 

  

 A-14 

 
Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
  
 (c) If at any time the Depositary notifies the Company or the Trustee that it
is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for any Book-Entry Securities, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary, whereupon the retiring Depositary shall surrender or cause the surrender of its Book-Entry Security or Securities to
the Trustee. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company upon receipt of such notice. If a successor Depositary has not been so appointed by the effective date of the resignation of the Depositary, the Book-Entry Securities will be issued as
Registered Securities not issued in global form, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Book-Entry Security or Securities theretofore held by the Depositary. 
  
 The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the
Securities shall no longer be Book-Entry Securities represented by a global certificate or certificates, and will so notify the Depositary. Upon receipt of such notice, the Depositary shall promptly surrender or cause the surrender of its Book-Entry
Security or Securities to the Trustee. Concurrently therewith, Registered Securities not issued in global form will be issued in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Book-Entry Security or Securities theretofore held by
the Depositary. 
  
 Upon any exchange of Book-Entry Securities for
Registered Securities not issued in global form as set forth in this Section 204(c), such Book-Entry Securities shall be cancelled by the Trustee, and Securities issued in exchange for such Book-Entry Securities pursuant to this Section shall be
registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Book-Entry Securities, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee or any
Authenticating Agent shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 
  
 (d) The Company and the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Person in whose name any Book-Entry Security is registered as the Holder thereof for all
purposes of the Indenture and any applicable laws, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary received by the Trustee or the Company; and the Trustee and the Company shall have no responsibility for transmitting payments to, communication with,
notifying, or otherwise dealing with any beneficial owners of any Book-Entry Security. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or obligations, legal or otherwise, to the beneficial owners or to any other party including the
Depositary, except for the Holder of any Book-Entry Security; PROVIDED HOWEVER, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) for the purposes of determining whether the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities have given, made or
taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, instruction or other action hereunder as of any date, the Trustee shall treat any Person specified in a written statement of the Depositary with respect to any Book-Entry
Securities as the Holder of the principal amount of such Securities set forth therein and (ii) nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by a Depositary with respect to any Book-Entry Securities, or impair, as between a Depositary and holders of beneficial interests in such Securities, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the
rights of the Depositary as Holder of such Securities. 
  

 A-15 

 (e) So long as any Book-Entry Security is registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, all
payments of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Book-Entry Security and redemption thereof and all notices with respect to such Book-Entry Security shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the
arrangements of the Company with such Depositary.

 SECTION 302. DENOMINATIONS. 
  
 The Securities of
each series shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Registered Securities of such series denominated in
Dollars shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any Securities of a series denominated in a currency other

reported or otherwise made available by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, on the applicable issue date for such Securities, of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. 
  

 A-18 

 SECTION 303. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING. 
  
 The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of
the Board, its President, its Treasurer or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon or affixed thereto 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. Coupons shall bear the facsimile signature of the Chairman of the Board, President, Treasurer or any Vice President of the Company. 
  
 Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company
shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
  
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the
Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise. 
  
 If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or Officer’s Certificate
as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive (in addition to the other documents
required by Section 103 hereof), and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, 
  
 (a) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such form has
been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
  
 (b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

  
 (c) that such Securities, when authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms,
except as such enforcement is subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization or other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
  
 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 not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
  
 Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
  

 A-19 

 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company
shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 103 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has
never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 304. TEMPORARY SECURITIES. 
  
 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company
may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the
definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by
their execution of such Securities. 
  
 Except in the case of
temporary Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraphs), if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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. 
  
 All Outstanding temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered
hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 305. REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND
EXCHANGE. 
  
 The Company shall cause to be kept for each
series of Securities at one of the offices or agencies maintained pursuant to Section 1002 a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively
referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered 

  

 A-20 

 
Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities of such series. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose
of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. 
  
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount. 
  
 At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be
exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denominations and of a like 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 Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If the beneficial owners of interests in a permanent global Security are entitled to exchange such interest for Securities of such series and of
like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged,
the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities of that series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such permanent global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such
interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global Security shall be surrendered from time to time in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the Depositary (which instructions shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 103
or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) or such other depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive
Securities of the same series without charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such permanent global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of other definitive Securities of the same series of
authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such permanent global Security to be exchanged; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of
Securities of that series is to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such permanent global Security marked to evidence the partial exchange shall be returned by the Trustee to the
Depositary or such other depositary referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global Security after the close of business at
the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at
such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect
of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for 

  

 A-21 

 
payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such permanent global Security is payable in accordance with
the provisions of this Indenture. 
  
 All Securities issued upon
any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer
or exchange. 
  
 Every Registered Security presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly
executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
  
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchange pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer. 
  
 The Company 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 such series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption or (ii) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
  
 SECTION 306. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES. 
  
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company 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 Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii)
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously Outstanding. 
  

 A-22 

 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and
payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
  
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fee and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
  
 Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
  
 The
provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
  
 SECTION 307. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED. 
  
 Interest on any Registered 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. Unless otherwise
provided with respect to the Securities of any series, payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed or delivered to the address of any Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

  
 Any interest on any Registered Security of any series which is
payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such
Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 
  
 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered 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 Company shall notify the Trustee in writing
of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount
proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit 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 

  

 A-23 

 
the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid,
to each Holder of Registered 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. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company,
cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and
the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered 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 Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Registered 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 Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to
this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
  
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture, upon registration of transfer of, 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 308. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. 
  
 Prior to
due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 SECTION 309. CANCELLATION. 
  
 All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Registered Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly 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 

  

 A-24 

 
cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order; PROVIDED that the Trustee shall not be required to destroy such
Securities. 
  
 SECTION 310. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. 
  
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities
of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a year comprising twelve 30-day months. 
  
 SECTION 311. CUSIP NUMBERS. 
  
 The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP”
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; PROVIDED that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a
redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 
  
 ARTICLE FOUR 
  
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
  
 SECTION 401. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE. 
  
 This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with
respect to Securities of a series, and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series, when 
  
 (1) either 
  
 (A) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated
and delivered (other than (i) Securities that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and
held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; 
  
 (B) with respect to all Outstanding Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, for the purpose money or U.S. Government
Obligations maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will, together with the income to accrue thereon, without consideration of any reinvestment thereof, be sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on
all Outstanding Securities of such 

  

 A-25 

 
series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal (and premium and Additional Amounts, if any) and interest to the Stated
Maturity or any Redemption Date contemplated by the penultimate paragraph of this Section, as the case may be; or 
  
 (C) the Company has properly fulfilled such other means of satisfaction and discharge as is specified, as contemplated by Section 301, to
be applicable to the Securities of such series; 
  
 (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series; 
  
 (3) the Company has complied with any other conditions specified pursuant to Section 301 to be applicable to
the discharge of Securities of such series pursuant to this Section 401; 
  
 (4) the Company 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 this
Indenture with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series have been complied with; and 
  
 (5) if the conditions set forth in Section 401(1)(A) have not been satisfied, and unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for
the Securities of such series, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a
result of such deposit, satisfaction and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such deposit, satisfaction and discharge had not
occurred. 
  
 For the purposes of this Indenture, “U.S.
Government Obligations” means direct noncallable obligations of, or noncallable obligations the payment of principal of and interest on which is guaranteed by, the United States of America, or to the payment of which obligations or guarantees
the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged, or beneficial interests in a trust the corpus of which consists exclusively of money or such obligations or a combination thereof. 
  
 If any Outstanding Securities of such series are to be redeemed prior to
their Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in accordance with any mandatory sinking fund requirement, the trust agreement referred to in subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section 401 shall provide therefor and
the Company shall make such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company. 
  
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series
pursuant to this Section 401, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and, except for a discharge pursuant to subclause (A) of clause (1) of

  

 A-26 

 
this Section 401, the obligations of the Company under Sections 305, 306, 404, 610(e), 701, 1001 and 1002 and the obligations of the Trustee under Section
402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive. 
  
 SECTION 402.
APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of
the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 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 Company 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 and Additional Amounts for the payment of which such
money has been deposited with the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 403. DISCHARGE OF
LIABILITY ON SECURITIES OF ANY SERIES. 
  
 If this Section is
specified, as contemplated by Section 301, to be applicable to Securities of any series, the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the Outstanding Securities of such series, the obligation of the Company
under this Indenture and the Securities of such series to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on Securities of such series shall cease, terminate and be completely discharged and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall

 (1) the Company has complied with the provisions of Section 401 of this Indenture (other than any additional conditions specified pursuant
to Sections 301 and 401(3) and except that the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 401(5) shall state that it is based on a ruling by the Internal Revenue Service or other change since the date hereof under applicable Federal income tax law)
with respect to all Outstanding Securities of such series; 
  
 (2) the Company has delivered to the Trustee a Company Request requesting such satisfaction and discharge; 
  
 (3) the Company has complied with any other conditions specified pursuant to Section 301 to be applicable to the discharge of Securities

of such series have been complied with. 
  
 Upon the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in this Section with respect to all the Outstanding Securities of any series, the terms and conditions of such series, including the terms and conditions with respect thereto set forth in this Indenture, shall no longer
be binding upon, or applicable to, the Company; PROVIDED that the Company shall not be discharged from any payment obligations in respect of Securities of such series that are deemed not to be Outstanding 

  

 A-27 

 
under clause (iii) of the definition thereof if such obligations continue to be valid obligations of the Company under applicable law or pursuant to Section
305 or 306. 
  
 SECTION 404. REINSTATEMENT.

Government Obligations deposited with respect to Securities of any series in accordance with Section 401 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 Company’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series and the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
Section 401 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 401; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of (or premium,
if any), or interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money
or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
  
 ARTICLE FIVE 
  
 REMEDIES 
  
 SECTION 501. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. 
  
 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to
Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any
court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), unless it is either inapplicable to a particular series or it is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution
establishing such series of Securities or in the form of Security for such series: 
  
 (1) default in the payment of any interest or any Additional Amounts upon any Security of that series when such interest or Additional
Amounts become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; 
  
 (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that series at its Maturity; 
  
 (3) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when
and as due by the terms of a Security of that series and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; 
  
 (4) default in the performance or breach of any covenant of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant a default in whose
performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 501 specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other 

  

 A-28 

 
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
Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities 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 Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable
federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or 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 commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under
any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it, of a petition or answer or consent seeking
reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar
official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by 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 Company in furtherance of any such action; or 
  
 (7) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 501, if the principal of (and premium, if any) or any interest on or Additional Amounts with
respect to any Security is payable in a currency or currencies (including a composite currency) other than Dollars and such currency (or currencies) is (or are) not available to the Company for making payment thereof due to the imposition of
exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company (a “Conversion Event”), the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders of the Securities by making such payment in Dollars in an amount equal to
the Dollar equivalent of the amount payable in such other currency, as determined by the Company by reference to the Exchange Rate, as such Exchange Rate is certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the date of such
payment, or, if such rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 501, any payment made under such circumstances in Dollars 

  

 A-29 

 
where the required payment is in a currency other than Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture. 
  
 Promptly after the occurrence of a Conversion Event, the Company shall give
written notice thereof to the Trustee; and the Trustee, promptly after receipt of such notice, shall give notice thereof in the manner provided in Section 107 to the Holders. Promptly after the making of any payment in Dollars as a result of a
Conversion Event, the Company shall give notice in the manner provided in Section 107 to the Holders, setting forth the applicable Exchange Rate and describing the calculation of such payments. 
  
 SECTION 502. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any series at the
time Outstanding 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 (i) the series affected by such default (in the case of an Event of Default
described in clause (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Section 501) or (ii) all series of Securities (subject to the immediately following sentence, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (4) of Section 501) may declare the principal amount
(or, if any such Securities 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 the series affected by such default or all series, as the case may
be, to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (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. If an Event of
Default described in clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 shall occur, the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series IPSO FACTO shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder. 
  
 At any time after such a declaration of
acceleration with respect to Securities of any series (or of all series, as the case may be) 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 (or of all series, as the case may be), by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if

  
 (1) the Company has paid or deposited with
the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
  
 (A) all
overdue interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, all Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be), 
  
 (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be) which have become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the Securities’ Yield to Maturity), 
  
 (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
interest upon overdue interest and any Additional Amounts at the rate or rates prescribed 

  

 A-30 

 
therefor in such Securities (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the Securities’ Yield to Maturity), and 
  
 (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder, the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607 hereof; 
  
 and 
  
 (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be), other than the nonpayment of
the principal of Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be) which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 
  
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent
thereon. 
  
 SECTION 503. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT
BY TRUSTEE. 
  
 The Company covenants that if 
  
 (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of
interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of any series when such interest or Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 
  
 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and
premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts 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 and Additional Amounts, at the
rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities (or in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the Securities’ Yield to Maturity), and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses
of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
  
 If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or
decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to 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 

  

 A-31 

 
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 504. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. 
  
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the
property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal (or lesser amount in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal (premium, if any), interest or Additional Amounts) 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 (or lesser amount in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) (and premium, if any) and interest and any Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities
and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of
the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
  
 (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
  
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to
make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any 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 607. 
  
 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 proceedings; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official. 
  

 A-32 

 SECTION 505. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES OR COUPONS. 
  
 All rights of action and claim under this Indenture or the Securities may be
prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto; any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express
trust; and, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in
respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
  
 SECTION 506. APPLICATION
OF MONEY COLLECTED. 
  
 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), interest or any Additional Amounts, 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 607; 
  
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest and any Additional Amounts 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), interest and Additional Amounts, respectively; and 
  
 THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company. 
  
 To the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, if for the purpose of obtaining judgment against the Company in any court it is necessary to convert
the sum due in respect of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of any series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of
exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Business Day next preceding that on which final
judgment is given. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable for any shortfall nor shall it benefit from any windfall in payments to Holders of Securities under this Section caused by a change in exchange rates between the time the amount
of a judgment against it is calculated as above and the time the Trustee converts the Judgment Currency into the Required Currency to make payments under this Section to Holders of Securities, but payment of such judgment shall discharge all amounts
owed by the Company on the claim or claims underlying such judgment.

 SECTION 507. LIMITATION ON SUITS. 
  
 Subject to Section 508, 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) an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing and such Holder has previously
given written notice to the Trustee of such continuing Event of Default; 
  
 (2) the Holders of not less than 25% 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 508. 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 of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on
the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
  
 SECTION 509. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. 
  
 If the Trustee or any Holder of any Security has instituted any proceeding
to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding,
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. 
  

 A-34 

 SECTION 510. 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 306, 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
511. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. 
  
 No delay or omission
of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right
and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
  
 SECTION 512. CONTROL BY HOLDERS. 
  
 With respect to Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such 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,
relating to or arising under an Event of Default described in clause (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Section 501, and with respect to all Securities the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct
the time, method and place of conducting any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, not relating to or arising under such an Event of Default, PROVIDED that in each such case: 
  
 (1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow
any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or would conflict with this Indenture or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the
proceedings so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction, and 
  
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 
  
 SECTION 513. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. 
  
 Subject to Sections 508 and 902, the Holders of 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, and the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of all Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the 

  

 A-35 

 
Holders of all Securities waive any other past default hereunder and its consequences, except in each case a default: 
  
 (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any)
or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security, or 
  
 (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security 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 514. 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 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. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, by the Trustee, 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 by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with
respect to 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 515. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. 
  
 The Company 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 Company (to the extent
that it 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 Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(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

assured to it.

or such other agent. 
  
 SECTION 606. 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 except as otherwise agreed with the Company.

 (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

particular series) and such successor Trustee or Trustees shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company and accepted
appointment in the manner required by Section 611, 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 Company 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 by first-class mail, postage prepaid, 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 611. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR. 
  
 (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder. 
  
 (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (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 

  

 A-43 

 
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 the 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 Company
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 Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section, as the case may be. 
  
 (d) No successor Trustee shall
accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
  
 SECTION 612. 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; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the case of a corporation succeeding to all or
substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, such successor corporation shall expressly assume all of the Trustee’s liabilities hereunder. 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 613. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST
COMPANY. 
  
 The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of
the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent indicated
therein. 
  

 A-44 

 SECTION 614. APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT. 
  
 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents that shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Securities issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid
and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such
reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50
million or equivalent amount expressed in a foreign currency and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State (or the District of Columbia) authority or authority of such country. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 614, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 614, such Authenticating Agent shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 614. 
  
 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such
Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, PROVIDED such corporation shall be otherwise eligible
under this Section 614, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
  
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 614, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, to all Holders as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 614. 
  
 The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 614, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607. 
  

 A-45 

 If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section 614, the Securities may have endorsed thereon, in
addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form: 
  
 “This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. 
  

					
		
	 	 	,
	AS TRUSTEE	 	 
			
	By	 	 	 	,
	 	 	AS AUTHENTICATING AGENT	 	 
			
	By	 	 	 	 
	 	 	AUTHORIZED SIGNATORY.	 	 

  
 Notwithstanding
any provision of this Section 614 to the contrary, if at any time any Authenticating Agent appointed hereunder with respect to any series of Securities shall not also be acting as the Security Registrar hereunder with respect to any series of
Securities, then, in addition to all other duties of an Authenticating Agent hereunder, such Authenticating Agent shall also be obligated (i) to furnish to the Security Registrar promptly all information necessary to enable the Security Registrar to
maintain at all times an accurate and current Security Register and (ii) prior to authenticating any Security denominated in a foreign currency, to ascertain from the Company the units of such foreign currency that are required to be determined by
the Company pursuant to Section 302.

 (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the

 ARTICLE TEN 
  
 COVENANTS 
  
 SECTION 1001. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST. 
  
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the
principal of (and premium, if any), interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 1002. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. 
  
 If Securities of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for
any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the
Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

  
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more
other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
  
 SECTION 1003. MONEY FOR SECURITIES PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. 
  
 If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal 

  

 A-52 

 
(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. 
  
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, the Company will, on or before 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 so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the
Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
  
 The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 
  
 (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to 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 Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any
payment of principal (and premium, if any), interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to 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 Company may at any
time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such
sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability
with respect to such money. 
  
 Any money deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for three years after such principal (and premium, if any)
or interest has become due and payable shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat, or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and
all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being 

  

 A-53 

 
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in The Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York and in such other Authorized Newspapers as the Trustee shall deem appropriate, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified herein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat, or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Company. 
  
 SECTION 1004. EXISTENCE. 
  
 Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence. 
  
 SECTION 1005. STATEMENT BY OFFICERS AS TO DEFAULT. 
  
 The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof so long as any Security is outstanding hereunder, an Officers’ Certificate, complying with Section
314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act and stating that a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of performance under this Indenture has been made under the supervision of the signers thereof and whether or not to the best of
their knowledge, based upon such review, the Company is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of its covenants and other obligations under this Indenture, and if the Company shall be in default, specifying each such default
known to them and the nature and status thereof. One of the officers signing the Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 1005 shall be the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Company. 
  
 For purposes of this Section, such compliance shall be determined without
regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 1006. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS. 
  
 The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in Section 1005, or any covenant added for the benefit of any series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301 (unless otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301) if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such omission (acting as one class) shall, by Act of such Holders, either
waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall
become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
  
 SECTION 1007. ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. 
  
 If the Securities of a series expressly provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series
Additional Amounts as expressly provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or the 

  

 A-54 

 
net proceeds received from the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional
Amounts provided for in this Section 1007 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1007 and express mention of the payment of Additional
Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
  
 If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest
Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of
payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal Paying
Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities of that series
shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series who are United States Aliens without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding shall be
required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities and the Company will pay to such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by this
Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with
actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 1007.

 A-55 

 SECTION 1102. ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE. 
  
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a
Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, a reasonable period prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (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 Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 
  
 SECTION 1103. 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 60 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 that 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 or of the principal amount of global Securities of such series. 
  

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar 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 1104. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. 
  
 Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 107 to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to 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, 
  

 A-56 

 (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) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, 
  
 (6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is
the case, and 
  
 (7) the “CUSIP”
number, if applicable. 
  
 A notice of redemption as contemplated
by Section 107 need not identify particular Registered Securities to be redeemed. Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the
name and at the expense of the Company. 
  
 SECTION 1105. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION
PRICE. 
  
 On or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on
any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) 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 and any Additional Amounts with respect to all the Securities to be redeemed on that date. 
  
 SECTION 1106. 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 Company 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 Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (and any Additional Amounts) 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 307. 
  
 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 or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the Securities’ Yield to Maturity. 
  
 SECTION 1107. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART. 
  

Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee
so requires, due endorsement by, 

  

 A-57 

 
or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series and Stated Maturity, 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. 
  
 SECTION 1108. PURCHASE OF SECURITIES. 
  
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, the Company and any Affiliate of the Company may at any time purchase or otherwise acquire
Securities in the open market or by private agreement. Such acquisition shall not operate as or be deemed for any purpose to be a redemption of the indebtedness represented by such Securities. Any Securities purchased or acquired by the Company may
be delivered to the Trustee and, upon such delivery, the indebtedness represented thereby shall be deemed to be satisfied. Section 309 shall apply to all Securities so delivered.

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”. Unless otherwise provided 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 1202. 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 1202. SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES. 
  
 The Company (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 Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; PROVIDED
that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through 

  

 A-58 

 
operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking payment shall be reduced accordingly. 
  
 SECTION 1203. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND. 
  
 Not less than 45 days prior (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory
to the Trustee) to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the
terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivery of or by crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202 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
1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms
and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.
