 Dear Varalakshmi and Ganesh: 
  
 When countersigned by all addressees, this letter will constitute our binding agreement (this “Agreement”) with respect to the acquisition (the
“Transaction”) by Vari-L Company, Inc. (the “Company”) from Asvan Technology, LLC (“Asvan”) of all right, title and interest to Asvan’s YIG technology based assets, including but not limited to all of the software,
test equipment and intellectual property relating to that technology listed on Exhibit A hereto (the “Assets”). 
  
 1.    Overview.    The Company intends to produce YIG oscillators, synthesizers, and filters based upon the design expertise and manufacturing concepts of Asvan. The Company believes
that the combination of the Company’s strong design, marketing and manufacturing functions in the signal source market with the innovative YIG design expertise of Asvan will result in a strong market entry into the YIG oscillator, synthesizer,
and filter market. The Company intends to commit process, mechanical and electrical design engineering personnel to establish this capacity. Accordingly, the parties intend to close this transaction quickly and to enter the market as quickly as
possible. Upon payment of the purchase price described in Section 4 hereof (the “Purchase Price”) by the Company, Asvan will cause the Assets to be immediately transferred to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

  
 2.    Assets to be Acquired.    As soon as all conditions precedent contained in Section
9 below are met, the Company will acquire the Assets by paying the Purchase Price to Asvan at the closing (the “Closing”). Even after the Closing, however, Asvan will retain the right to develop and sell YIG based end item instrument
products pursuant to a grant by the Company of a non-exclusive license to such effect at Closing. Notwithstanding the grant of such non-exclusive license, however, the Company will have the exclusive right after the Closing to sell YIG based
products for use in instrumentation equipment, such as spectrum analyzers, network analyzers and the like to other instrumentation manufacturers. While it is not the present intention of the Company to enter the end item instrumentation market, it
may elect to do so in the future.

 3.    Closing.    The Closing shall take place at the
offices of the Company, commencing at 2:00 p.m., on January 25, 2001, or on such later date and at such time as the parties may mutually agree (the “Closing Date”). 
  
 4.    Consideration.    The Purchase Price to be paid by the Company to Asvan for the Assets shall be: 
  
 A.    The sum of $100,000 in cash or immediately available funds to be paid at the Closing; 
  
 B.    A two year promissory note of the Company in the principal amount of $175,000 (the “Note”), which will
be secured by a letter of credit and will be payable in monthly installments of $7,291.67 in principal plus interest on the unpaid principal at an annual rate of 10%. If there are any damages to the Company resulting from any breach of this
Agreement by Asvan, Varalakshmi Basawapatna or Ganesh Basawapatna (collectively referred to as the “Seller Parties” and individually as the “Seller Party”), in addition to any other rights or remedies the Company may have under
this Agreement or at law, the Company shall be entitled to set off such damages against its remaining payment obligations under the Note; 
  
 C.    A contingent payment of $75,000 to be paid to Asvan ten (10) days after the Company receives $1,000,000 in cumulative payments (net of customer returns, customer allowances and credits reflecting
post shipment customer price negotiation) from shipments of the YIG Technology Based Products. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “YIG Technology Based Products” shall mean any product which incorporates a YIG technology device.

  
 D.    Periodic payments (“Periodic Payments”) shall be made to Asvan based on
orders (“Customer Orders” or, individually, a “Customer Order”) received by the Company during the period of time beginning January 1, 2002 and ending December 31, 2010 (the “Earn Out Period”) for the YIG Technology
Based Products. The dollar value of a Customer Order shall be the sum of the total sales price of the YIG Technology Based Products in a Customer Order plus all fees for non recurring engineering included in that Customer Order (net of customer
returns, customer allowances and credits reflecting post shipment customer price negotiation) (the “Dollar Value”). Periodic Payments shall be paid to Asvan within ten (10) days from the Company’s receipt of the customer’s
payment for products included in the related Customer Orders. During each month of the Earn Out Period, the Company will furnish to Asvan, backup documentation with respect to Customer Orders consistent with information it provides to the
Company’s manufacturer representatives. Asvan shall have the right from time to time during the Earn Out Period and for one (1) year thereafter to designate an agent with power to review such books and records of Company as are related to the
determination of the Periodic Payments. Such review of the Company’s books shall be permitted by the Company upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Company. If Asvan elects to retain a certified public accountant to conduct such
review, and if that review determines that there has been a deficiency in the Periodic Payments made to Asvan by the Company, then such deficiency shall be paid to Asvan within thirty (30) days of the 

 
 2 

 delivery of the certified public accountant’s report (the “Report”) to the Company unless the Company, during such thirty (30)
day period, provides a written notice to Asvan indicating that the Company disagrees with the deficiency stated in the Report. Asvan will pay any costs of the review by its certified public accountant and the Report unless a deficiency of ten
percent (10%) or more of the amounts due Asvan is finally determined to exist. If the Company does give notice of a disagreement with the Report, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith for a minimum of twenty (20) days after Asvan’s
receipt of the Company’s notice of disagreement, but after such twenty (20) day period, either party may elect to invoke the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 14 hereof to resolve the disagreement. 
  
 The amount of each Periodic Payment shall be determined as follows: 
  
 (1)    For each Customer Order placed in the period beginning on January 1, 2002 and ending on December 31, 2003 (“Period One”) regardless of
the date of shipment, Asvan shall be paid a sum equal to 10% of the Dollar Value of each Customer Order placed during Period One; 
  
 (2)    In the absence of an Exclusivity Event (as defined below), for each Customer Order placed in the period beginning on January 1, 2004 and ending on December 31, 2007 (“Period Two”) regardless of
the date of shipment, Asvan shall be paid a sum calculated in accordance with the formula set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto; 
  
 (3)    In the absence of an Exclusivity Event (as defined below), for each Customer Order placed during the period beginning January 1, 2008 and ending on December 31, 2010 (“Period Three”), regardless
of the date of shipment, Asvan shall be paid a sum equal to a percentage of the Dollar Value of Customer Orders to be negotiated between Asvan and the Company after a reassessment of the competitive position of YIG Technology Based Products by the
Company and Asvan. If within first three (3) months of Period Three the parties fail to reach mutual agreement on a percentage rate to be paid to Asvan, Asvan will be paid a sum equal to 1% of the Dollar Value of all Customer Orders placed in Period
Three for YIG Technology Based Products that were substantially developed prior to 2007. 
  
 For purposes of this
Agreement, for so long as the Company is required, pursuant to Section 4.E hereof, to sell YIG Technology Based Products to the companies that have favorable pricing rights (the “Liberty Companies”) pursuant to the Product Purchase
Agreement among Liberty Satellite & Technology, Inc., On Command Corporation, TSAT Technologies, Inc. and Asvan, dated as of September 14, 2001 (the “Product Agreement”) at the price set forth in Section 2.1(b) of the Product
Agreement, the term “Customer Order” shall not include orders from the Liberty Companies and no Periodic Payments shall be made on account of any such orders, provided, however, that sales to the Liberty Companies that are not made at the
discounted price set forth in Section 2.1 of the Product Agreement shall be deemed to be Customer Orders on account of which Periodic Payments shall be made to Asvan by the Company. 

 
 3 

  
 Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, if the Periodic Payments received
by Asvan are less than any one of the minimum amounts for various time periods set forth on Exhibit D hereto, and Asvan gives the notice required by Exhibit D (an “Exclusivity Event”), the non-exclusive license granted to Asvan by the
Company at the Closing permitting Asvan to continue selling certain YIG Technology Based Products to certain customers will become an exclusive license from the Company to Asvan to develop, sell, manufacture and sub-license YIG Technology Based
Products to any customer, notwithstanding the exclusivity rights otherwise provided to the Company by Section 2 hereof            , provided, however, that, after an Exclusivity Event, the
Company may continue to develop, sell and manufacture YIG Technology Based Products but it may not license such technology to third parties, provided, further, that nothing herein shall prevent the Company from selling the Assets, as part of a
merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or otherwise, subject to the Company’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, either before or after an Exclusivity Event, so long as the successor
party or purchaser expressly assumes the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon an Exclusivity Event, Varalakshmi Basawapatna and Ganesh Basawapatna will be immediately released from their respective non-compete covenants found in Section 6.C.
hereof but, in the case of Varalakshmi Basawapatna, only to the extent such covenant applies to the YIG technology and YIG Technology Based Products. In all other respects, her non-compete covenant shall remain effective in accordance with its terms
notwithstanding the occurrence of an Exclusivity Event. 
  
 E.    The assumption by the Company
of Asvan’s obligation to sell certain products to the Liberty Companies pursuant to the terms of the Product Agreement. This Section 4.E. shall be deemed an assumption of such obligation by the Company and an agreement by the Company that it
will perform such obligation in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Product Agreement. In order to ensure that the Liberty Companies do not receive an undue benefit by virtue of this assumption of the Product Agreement by the Company,
Asvan and the Company agree that each of them will provide to the other, on at least a quarterly basis, information concerning their respective fulfillment (including any fulfillment by their respective licensees or sub-licensees permitted under
this Agreement), if any, of sales to, or orders from, the Liberty Companies at the price prescribed in Section 2.1(b) of the Product Agreement. 
  
 5.    Right to Favorable Pricing Terms.    The Company agrees that, so long as Asvan is entitled to Periodic Payments under this Agreement or any portion of the principal or interest of
the Note remains unpaid, the Company will sell to Asvan, for use in Asvan’s instrument product line, YIG oscillator based products at the lowest price it sells similar products to any other customer for like quantities (other than the price the
Company must charge the Liberty Companies under Section 2.1(b) of the Product Agreement). 
  
 6.    Employment and
Consulting Matters. 
  
 A.    Varalakshmi
Basawapatna.    Varalakshmi Basawapatna will become an employee of the Company, with the title of Director of Engineering, effective January 2, 2002. As Director of Engineering, Ms. Basawapatna will be responsible for
coordinating the Company’s efforts to transfer Asvan’s YIG technology to the Company, working with other Company personnel to establish the Company’s manufacturing capability for the YIG Technology Based Products, and training the
Company’s design engineering personnel in the design of YIG oscillators. Ms. Basawapatna will be paid an annual salary of $100,000 and will be entitled to the same rights, 

 
 4 

 benefits, and privileges as other Company employees under any generally applicable employee benefit plan. Additional terms of Mrs.
Basawapatna’s employment will be included in an offer letter from the Company which will be executed on the Closing Date (the “Employment Offer”). Except as may be provided otherwise in the Employment Offer, Ms. Basawapatna will be an
“at will” employee of the Company and will not be entitled to any rights, benefits or privileges other than those provided to employees of the Company generally. The Company acknowledges that Mrs. Basawapatna is, and will continue to be
during the term of her employment by the Company, the President of Asvan. 
  
 B.    Ganesh
Basawapatna.    Ganesh Basawapatna will provide consulting services to the Company on the terms described herein and, if the parties so elect, in a separate consulting agreement. Mr. Basawapatna will be primarily responsible
for the transfer of the YIG technology from Asvan to the Company and for marketing the Company’s YIG Technology Based Products. In those two capacities, Mr. Basawapatna will work under the direction of, and report to, the Company’s Vice
President of Business Development. Mr. Basawapatna will be available to provide such consulting services, on an as needed basis, for at least four (4) days per month through December 31, 2002. For the first three (3) months of the consulting period,
Mr. Basawapatna will be paid a base fee of $8,000 per month. If additional consulting beyond four (4) days per month is necessary during the first three (3) months of the consulting period, and to the extent that consulting services are requested by
the Company after the first three (3) months of the consulting period, the Company will pay to Mr. Basawapatna an additional consulting fee in the amount of $2,000 per day. While Mr. Basawapatna will not be required to provide any particular level
of consulting services after 2002, the parties agree that, to the extent the Company requests him to provide consulting services not directly related to support of the Company’s sale of the YIG Technology Based Products after 2002 and he agrees
to provide such additional services, the parties will enter into good faith negotiations to determine what additional compensation should be paid to him on account of such services. 
  
 C.    Non-Competition.    Mrs. Basawapatna and Mr. Basawapatna each agree that, so long as (i) Mrs. Basawapatna remains an
employee of the Company; (ii) Mr. Basawapatna provides consulting services to the Company; or (iii) Asvan continues to receive an aggregate of not less than $100,000 in any calendar year in Periodic Payments or principal and interest under the Note
from the Company, and for a period of one (1) calendar year after the latest to terminate of these three conditions, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement (a) Mrs. Basawapatna will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage,
operate, control, provide services to, be employed by, participate in, or be connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation, or control of any business which develops, manufactures, distributes or sells products competitive with
the Company’s products, or products which are the functional equivalent of the Company’s products or currently planned products, including but not limited to those relating to the YIG technology and the Assets, within and to the same
market as the Company’s market (the “Competitive Products”), and (b) Mr. Basawapatna will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, provide services to, be employed by, participate in, or be connected in any manner
with the ownership, management, operation, or control of any business which develops, manufactures, distributes or sells products which are related, directly or indirectly to, the YIG technology or the Assets, within and to the same market as the
Company’s market (the “YIG Competitive Products”). The parties acknowledge that, to the extent that Asvan currently has a 

 
 5 

 non-competition covenant with either or both of Varalakshmi or Ganesh Basawapatna, the foregoing covenants to the Company constitute a transfer
or sale to the Company of the non-competition covenants held by Asvan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon an Exclusivity Event under Section 4.E. above, Varalakshmi Basawapatna and Ganesh Basawapatna will be immediately released from their
respective non-compete covenants found herein but, in the case of Varalakshmi Basawapatna, only to the extent such covenants apply (i) to the YIG technology and YIG Technology Based Assets and (ii) to current or future technological projects of
Asvan of which she has given the Company written notice prior to her employment by the Company (which pre-employment notice is attached hereto as Exhibit E) or prior to any substantive involvement by her as an employee of the Company in the
development, enhancement, modification or production of similar, comparable, or directly competitive technology of the Company. In all other respects, her non-compete covenant shall remain effective in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the
Exclusivity Event. 
  
 D.    Proprietary Rights; Assignment.    Each
of Varalakshmi Basawapatna and Ganesh Basawapatna understands and agrees that as part of her employment or his consulting for the Company, Mrs. Basawapatna and Mr. Basawapatna may improve, modify, create or contribute to the creation of computer
software, source codes, object codes, designs, literature, or any other copyrightable works (the “Works”), or hardware technology, know how, and designs (the “Inventions”), and that the Company shall be the author of the Works,
and shall own all right, title, and interest in and to the copyrights in the Works. In the event that the Works do not qualify as a “work for hire” under applicable law, Mrs. Basawapatna and Mr. Basawapatna each hereby assign to the
Company all right, title, and interest in and to such Works, and to any and all other intellectual property rights, including, without limitation, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and know-how, embodied in the Works, the Inventions, or in any
other idea or technology developed in whole or in part by Mrs. Basawapatna in the course of her employment by, or Mr. Basawapatna in the course of his consulting for, the Company. Each of Mrs. Basawapatna and Mr. Basawapatna further agrees to take
all actions necessary and to execute all documents in order to perfect and to vest such intellectual property rights in the Company to the Works. The provisions of this Section 6.D. shall not apply, except for instrumentation related products, (i)
with respect to Mrs. Basawapatna, to the Inventions and Works related to any current or future technological projects of Asvan that are not related, directly or indirectly, to YIG technology or YIG Technology Based Products of which she has given
the Company written notice prior to her employment by the Company (which pre-employment notice is attached hereto as Exhibit E) or prior to any substantive involvement by her as an employee of the Company in the development, enhancement,
modification or production of similar, comparable, or directly competitive technology of the Company, and (ii) with respect to Mr. Basawapatna, to those Inventions and Works which do not incorporate, which are not derived from, and which do not

 7.    Representations and Warranties Regarding Assets. 
  
 Asvan represents and warrants to the Company that the following representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

  
 A.    Asvan is a limited liability company duly organized, formed, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado; has full power and authority to carry on its business as currently conducted and to own and dispose of its assets at the places currently located and in the manner currently used and operated.
No act or proceeding has been taken by or against Asvan, in connection with the dissolution, liquidation, winding up, bankruptcy or reorganization of Asvan. 
  
 B.    Asvan has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and all other agreements and instruments to be executed by it as contemplated by this Agreement and to carry out
its obligations under this Agreement and such other agreements and instruments. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and such other agreements and instruments and the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such
other agreements and instruments have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Asvan, its manager(s) and members. 
  
 C.    This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Asvan, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject only to limitations on enforcement imposed by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors or others and to the extent that equitable remedies such as specific performance and injunctions are only available in the discretion of the court from which they are
sought. Asvan is not insolvent and will not become insolvent as a result of the Transaction. 
  
 D.    Exhibit A lists all Assets to be transferred to the Company by Asvan in the Transaction. Other than this Agreement, there is no agreement, option or other right or privilege outstanding in favor of any
person for the purchase from any of the Seller Parties of any of the Assets other than in the ordinary course of Asvan’s business. There are no equipment leases, rental agreements, conditional sales contracts or other similar agreements
relating to the Assets. 
  
 E.    Exhibit A also generally describes all of the Intellectual
Property included in the Assets and lists all patents, patent applications, the registrations and applications for registration of the non-patentable Intellectual Property. All the registrations and applications for registration of the Intellectual
Property are valid and subsisting in good standing and are recorded in the name of one or more of the Seller Parties. No application for registration of any of the Intellectual Property has been rejected. There are no written or oral licenses,
sublicenses, franchises or other agreements under which any third party has an interest in any of the Intellectual Property or pursuant to which the Seller Parties are authorized to use a third party’s intellectual property in connection with
the Intellectual Property. The Seller Parties are the sole and exclusive owners of the Intellectual Property and are entitled to the exclusive and uninterrupted use of the Intellectual Property without payment of any royalty or other fees. No
member, officer, consultant or employee of Asvan or any other person or entity other than the Seller Parties has any right, title or interest in any of the Intellectual Property and all such persons have waived their moral rights in any copyright
works within the Intellectual Property. 

 
 7 

 To the best of the Seller Parties’ knowledge, the Seller Parties have diligently protected their legal rights to the exclusive use of the
Intellectual Property. All employees, consultants, contractors, and advisors of the Seller Parties have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential or proprietary information relating to the Intellectual Property. No person has
threatened to challenge or challenged the validity of any registrations for the Intellectual Property or the Seller Parties’ rights to any of the Intellectual Property. To the best of the Seller Parties’ knowledge, neither the use of the
Intellectual Property nor the conduct of the Seller Parties’ business has infringed or currently infringes upon the industrial or intellectual property rights of any other person. There is no governmental prohibition or restriction on the use
of the Intellectual Property contemplated by the Company. 
  
 For purposes of this Agreement, Intellectual Property
with respect to the Assets means (a) all patents and patent rights; (b) all subject matter that is eligible to be protected by a patent, whether or not fixed in a tangible medium and whether or not reduced to practice; (c) all copyrights and
copyright applications, whether registered or unregistered; (d) all trade secrets; (e) all know-how, whether or not protected by patent, trademark, copyright or trade secret law; and (f) all confidential information. 
  
 F.    Exhibit B lists all oral and written licenses, permits, filings, authorizations and approvals related to the
Assets (“Licenses and Permits”) and identifies the ones, if any, that by their terms are not transferable. The Seller Parties hold all Licenses and Permits free and clear of any and all liens or encumbrances of any kind. All Licenses and
Permits are in full force and effect and none of the Seller Parties are in violation of any term, provision, or requirement of any Licenses and Permits. No person or entity has threatened to revoke, amend or impose any condition in respect of, or
commenced proceedings to revoke, amend or impose conditions in respect of, any such license, permit, filing, authorization or approval. 
  
 G.    All consents and approvals required to be obtained by any of the Seller Parties in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the completion of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, if any, have been obtained or will be obtained before the Closing Date. All notices required to be given to any person under applicable law or pursuant to any contract or other obligation to which any of the Seller Parties is a party
or by which any Seller Party is bound or which is applicable to any of the Assets in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been given or will be given
before the Closing Date. Except for the foregoing, no consent, approval of, or notice to, any person is required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

  
 H.    Except for the Product Agreement (which, among other things, restricts a transfer of
the Assets unless the transferee assumes certain obligations to the Liberty Companies under the Product Agreement), the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Seller Parties and the completion of the Transaction provided for
herein and the fulfillment of terms hereof by the Seller Parties do not and will not, to the best of the Seller Parties’ knowledge, result in or constitute a default, breach or violation or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would be a default, breach or violation of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the operating agreement of Asvan or of any contract to which a Seller Party is a 

 
 8 

 party or which binds a Seller Party or of any license or permit; the creation or imposition of any lien or other encumbrance on any Asset; or
the violation of any law applicable to or affecting any Seller Party which is related to, or adversely affects, any of the Assets. 
  
 I.    There is no action, suit, proceeding, claim, application, complaint or investigation in any court or before any arbitrator or before or by any regulatory body or governmental or non-governmental
body pending or threatened by or against any Seller Party related to or affecting the Assets or the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement; and, to the best of the Seller Parties’ knowledge, there is no factual or legal basis which could
give rise to any such action, suit, proceeding, claim, application, complaint or investigation. 
  
 J.    There are no liens for taxes upon the Assets. No state of facts exists or has existed that would constitute grounds for the assessment against the Company, whether by reason of transferee liability or
otherwise, of any liability for any taxes resulting from the prior ownership or use of the Assets. The Seller Parties have timely paid all taxes, and all interest and penalties due thereon, which will have been required to be paid on or prior to the
Closing Date, the non-payment of which would result in a lien on any Asset or would result in the Company becoming liable or responsible therefor. The Seller Parties will timely pay all taxes which arise from or with respect to the Assets prior to
the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, tax or taxes shall mean any and all federal, state, and local taxes, fees, assessments or charge of any kind whatsoever, including any interest, penalty, or addition thereto, whether disputed or not.

  
 K.    Each of Asvan and its former subsidiary, TSAT Technologies, Inc. (“TSAT”),
has withheld and paid all payroll and withholding taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, or other third party. 
  
 L.    No person has or will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any right, interest
or claim against or upon the Seller Parties or the Assets for any commission, fee or other compensation because of any act or omission by the Seller Parties. 
  
 M.    None of the foregoing representations and warranties and no document furnished by or on behalf of the Seller Parties in connection with the negotiation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make any such statement or representation not misleading. 
  

8.    Representations and Warranties of the Company.    The Company represents and warrants to the Seller Parties, that the following
representations and warranties are true and accurate as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date: 
  
 A.    The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado and has the corporate power to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its
obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation
of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity,
whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity. 

 
 9 

 B.    The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions provided for
herein, and the fulfillment of the terms hereof by the Company do not and will not, with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, result in the breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, or
conflict with, or cause any acceleration of any obligation of the Company thereunder, any agreement, indenture or other instrument by which the Company is bound, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, any judgment, decree, order, or
award of any court, governmental body, or arbitrator, or any applicable law, rule, or regulation. 
  
 C.    No person has or will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any right, interest or claim against or upon the Company for any commission, fee or other compensation because of
any act or omission by the Company. 
  
 D.    None of the foregoing representations and
warranties and no document furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Seller Parties in connection with the negotiation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary to make any such statement or representation not misleading. 
  
 E.    The Company agrees to devote such personnel, financial and other resources as are necessary to develop, produce, and market competitive YIG Technology Based Products, subject only to (i) financial or
operating constraints or difficulties of the Company as a whole; (ii) technological failures of YIG technology in general; or (iii) technological developments in the marketplace which render the development, production or marketing of the YIG
Technology Based Products infeasible from a financial or technological stand point. 
  
 9.    Conditions.    The parties understand that this Agreement, the consummation of the Transaction, the grant of the non-exclusive license back to Asvan, Mrs. Basawapatna’s
employment, and Mr. Basawapatna’s engagement as a consultant (collectively, the “Asvan Transactions”) are subject to, among other things, the satisfaction of the following conditions: 
  
 A.    Company’s Board Approval.    The Asvan Transactions must be approved by the
Company’s Board of Directors. 
  
 B.    Additional Transaction
Documents.    Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6.D., Varalakshmi Basawapatna and Ganesh Basawapatna must execute the Company’s standard non-disclosure, confidentiality and proprietary rights agreement,
and such other forms as are ordinary and customary for employees or consultants, such as tax withholding forms. The parties must execute such instruments and documents as may be necessary or advisable to consummate the Asvan Transactions, including
such additional instruments or documents as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties before, during and after the Closing. 

 
 10 

 C.    Due Diligence Review.    Prior to the execution of this Agreement,
the Company has undertaken and substantially completed its technological, commercial, accounting and legal due diligence investigation of the Assets. After the execution of this Agreement, however, the Seller Parties will continue to cooperate with
the Company and its representatives in connection with any requests for additional information or documentation which the Company may make before the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, Asvan will make all financial, accounting, legal and
business records related to the Assets available to the Company and its legal counsel and accountants and will permit the Company to make reasonable visits, during normal business hours, to their offices. All such additional information or
documentation received or reviewed by the Company shall confirm that the Assets, including but not limited to the YIG based intellectual property owned by Asvan, including any patents and patent applications, are not subject to any claims or risks.
The consummation of the Asvan Transactions at Closing shall be deemed to be the Company’s acknowledgment that its due diligence investigation of the Assets has been completed. 
  
 D.    Assurance of Asvan’s Solvency.    At or prior to the Closing, Asvan will deliver to the Company a written
representation or statement of a certified public accountant selected by Asvan and subject to the reasonable approval of the Company, to the effect that, after the Closing, Asvan will not be insolvent. For this purpose, “insolvent” shall
mean that Asvan is unable to satisfy its financial obligations in the ordinary course as they become due. Moreover, each of the Seller Parties acknowledges and agrees that, in order to ensure that Asvan continues to be in a position to fulfill its
post-closing obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 12 hereof, for a period of one (1) year after the Closing, none of them will sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise encumber or dispose of any of the Asvan’s
Assets or cause such assets to be encumbered or seized other than in the ordinary course of business in an arms length transaction for bona fide consideration that is reasonable and customary for such type of transaction (a “Good Faith
Transaction”). For purposes hereof, the admission by Asvan into a joint venture, partnership, corporation, or other business entity (the “New Entity”) in a bona fide, arms length transaction (including but not limited to a merger,
consolidation, or other combination or an asset sale) whereby Asvan or its owners receive an interest in the New Entity in exchange for all or substantially all of the assets or equity interests of Asvan shall be deemed to be a Good Faith
Transaction so long as the New Entity expressly assumes the obligations of Asvan under this Agreement, provided, however, that a bona fide arms length transaction which does not involve the exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of
Asvan’s assets or equity interests shall not require any assumption by the New Entity to be determined to be a Good Faith Transaction. 
  
 10.    Exclusive Negotiation Rights.    In order to induce the Company to commit the resources, to forego other potential business opportunities and to incur the legal, accounting and
other expenses necessary to conduct the due diligence investigation referenced in the preceding section, each of the Seller Parties agrees (a) not to entertain any offers for, or enter into any negotiations relating to, a transfer, lease, license,
sale or other disposition of the Assets from the date of this Agreement through January 31, 2002, or such later date as may be mutually agreed by the parties and (b) to immediately inform the Company of any such offers, solicitations or invitations
to negotiate with respect to a sale, transfer, lease, license or other disposition of the Assets from any person or entity other than the Company. 

 
 11 

 11.    Confidentiality.    Except for (i) the disclosure of the Asvan Transactions to third
parties whose approval or consent of such transactions is required under agreements with such third parties, (ii) the Company’s press release and other legally required disclosures regarding the Asvan Transactions, (iii) disclosures required by
a court of competent authority or (iv) the disclosure by Asvan to the Liberty Companies of the Asvan Transactions and the assumption by the Company in Section 4.E hereof of Asvan’s obligations to the Liberty Companies under the Product
Agreement, each party hereto shall keep confidential and shall not disclose to others and shall use its reasonable efforts to prevent the party’s present or former employees, agents, affiliates, and representatives from disclosing to others,
any confidential or proprietary information obtained by such party from any other party, as well as the existence of this Agreement, any negotiations pertaining thereto, the terms of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the planned
relationship of the parties. No party shall use, and each party shall use its best efforts to prevent its present or former employees, agents, affiliates, and representatives from using, any information which (a) pertains to this Agreement, any
negotiations pertaining hereto, any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the business of the parties, or (b) any other confidential or proprietary information of any party except in connection with the Asvan Transactions. 

 
 12.    Indemnification. 
  
 A.    Subject to the Threshold (as defined below), each of the Company and Asvan agrees to reimburse, defend and hold harmless each other and each other’s affiliates (the
“Injured Party”) from and against any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees (“Losses”) incurred or suffered by the Injured Party in connection with any suit, action, claim
or proceeding brought or, to the knowledge of the Injured Party, threatened to be brought during the first year from the Closing Date based upon or arising out of breach by either the Company or Asvan of this Agreement including, without limitation,
the representations and warranties contained in Sections 7 and 8 hereof (a “Claim”). This right to indemnification shall exist with respect to those Claims brought during the first year after the Closing Date (the “Indemnification
Period”) or about which the Injured Party gained actual knowledge during the Indemnification Period (the “Indemnifiable Claims”) except that claims for indemnification by Asvan for the Company’s breach of Section 4.E shall not be
subject to such one (1) year limitation. 
  
 B.    The Injured Party shall give written notice to
the indemnifying party within reasonable time after the Injured Party has actual knowledge of the Indemnifiable Claim or Losses, and the indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense, or if it so elects, to assume the defense
of any such Claim and any action or proceeding resulting from the Claim by giving a written notice to the Injured Party of such election within thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Injured Party notice of the Indemnifiable Claim or Losses. The
failure of the Injured Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party from its obligations under this Section 12. The Injured Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding effected without
its prior written consent. If the Injured Party decides to participate in any defense or settlement of the Indemnifiable Claim, whether by failure of the indemnifying party to assume the defense or settlement of the Indemnifiable Claim within the
stated period or otherwise, then the Injured Party, without waiving any rights against the indemnifying party, may settle or defend the Indemnifiable Claim in the Injured Party’s sole discretion and shall be entitled to recover the Losses from
the indemnifying party. 

 
 12 

  
 C.    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 12, absent fraud, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the Injured Party with respect to any Indemnifiable Claim until the aggregate amount of all Losses exceeds $25,000 (the “Threshold”), in which case the indemnifying
party shall be liable for all Losses (including the Threshold). 
  
 13.    Survival of Representations and
Warranties.    All representations and warranties of the parties shall survive the Closing Date and shall remain in effect thereafter. 
  
 14.    Dispute Resolution. 
  
 A.    Any
dispute, controversy or claim arising under, out of or relating to this Agreement and any subsequent amendments hereof (the “Dispute”), shall be first submitted to mediation to be conducted in Denver, Colorado, by one mediator appointed by
all parties hereto. Each party agrees to submit such information relating to the Dispute as may be requested by the mediator and to meet with the mediator for at least a total of four (4) hours to attempt to resolve the Dispute. In the event the
Dispute is not resolved through the mediation within three (3) months from the submission of the Dispute to the mediation, the parties agree that the Dispute shall be resolved by arbitration to be conducted in Denver, Colorado, by one arbitrator
selected by all parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The parties agree that the arbitration award shall be binding on all parties hereto and shall
be enforced by the parties in accordance with its terms. 
  
 B.    Notwithstanding provisions
relating to mediation and arbitration, the parties agree that with respect to any breach of the Agreement for which an award of damages is an inadequate remedy to protect the injured party, the injured party is entitled to seek injunctive relief in
a court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Colorado. Seeking injunctive relief in court would be in addition to, and not a substitution for, any other relief available to it under the mediation and arbitration. 

 
 C.    The prevailing party in any arbitration or court proceeding between the parties relating to this
Agreement shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees in such proceeding from the non-prevailing party or parties. 
  
 15.    Expenses.    Each party shall be responsible for its own costs of the Asvan Transactions, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with
the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. 
  
 16.    Miscellaneous.    (a) This
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado; (b) if any provision of this Agreement is found by a court or arbitrator with jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, then such provision shall be amended to the extent necessary
to render same lawful or reasonable, and this Agreement shall be enforced as amended; (c) no waiver of any breach of any provision herein contained shall be deemed a 

 
 13 

 waiver of any other breach; (d) no extension of time for performance of any obligations shall be deemed an extension of time for performance of
any other obligations; (e) this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto, and their heirs, successors, and assigns, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no party may assign this Agreement or delegate its obligations
hereunder to a third party without the other parties’ prior written consent; (f) from and after the Closing Date, each party agrees to cooperate, to take such actions and to execute such documents as may be requested by the other party in order
to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement; and (g) this Agreement, together with all Exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties, supersedes all prior agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and may only be amended by an instrument in writing executed by all parties.

 The Company will provide a report of cumulative sales to Asvan no later than fifteen (15)
days after the close of each period listed above (the “Notification Date”). 
  
 1)    If the Company fails to
make the Periodic Payments prescribed for the cumulative sales goals listed above for any respective period end, then Asvan will have sixty (60) days after the Notification Date to give written notice to the Company of the occurrence of an
Exclusivity Event. In the absence of a timely notice, no Exclusivity Event shall occur and the obligations of the parties under the Agreement will be unaffected by the failure to reach the designated sales level. In such an event, however,
subsequent cumulative sales requirements listed above will not be reduced or otherwise affected by the non-occurrence of the earlier Exclusivity Event. 
  
 2)    For a period of one year after an Exclusivity Event, the Company will continue to make Periodic Payments for orders received during such one year period in accordance with Exhibit C. At the end of such one
year, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, all Periodic Payments will cease and the Company will have no further obligations under the Agreement except for any unpaid principal or interest on the Note. 
  
 3)    Upon an Exclusivity Event, the Company will provide to Asvan a list of all current and recent customers of the Company for YIG
Technology Based Products (the “List”). For a period of one (1) year after an Exclusivity Event, Asvan and the other Selling Parties may not contact or solicit, directly or indirectly, any customers on the List with respect to the purchase
of YIG Technology Based Products. A willful and material violation of this provision by Asvan will entitle the Company to injunctive relief together with liquidated damages equal to all amounts paid to the Seller Parties under this Agreement,
including but not limited to all compensation paid to Ms. Basawapatna as an employee, Periodic Payments paid to Asvan, consulting fees paid to Mr. Basawapatna, and principal and interest paid on the Note. On the other hand, if all of the Selling
Parties abide faithfully in all material respects with the no-contact, no solicitation, obligations of the first sentence of this paragraph for the entire one year period following an Exclusivity Event, then the Periodic Payments payable to Asvan
for such one year period shall be guaranteed by the Company to be at least $100,000. The Company shall satisfy such guarantee obligation by the payment of any shortfall from the $100,000 no later than sixty (60) days after the conclusion of the one
(1) year period.

activities of Varalakshmi Basawapatna, and to any other employment agreement between the Company and Ms. Basawapatna (but they are exceptions only if and to the extent that such business areas do not involve, as end item products, oscillators,
amplifiers, filters, mixers, couplers or modulators): 
  

	 	1.
	 
	Circuit, system, manufacturing technology, software, hardware and associated concepts related to the design, manufacture, and marketing of RF and microwave
instrumentation related products including but not limited to Spectrum and Signal Analyzers, Scalar and Vector Network Analyzers, Frequency Synthesizers, and Sweep Signal Generators. 
 

  

	 	2.
	 
	Circuit, system, manufacturing technology, software, hardware and associated concepts related to the design, manufacture, and marketing of Satellite, Wireless

Agreement, when any of these new business areas become subject to any proprietary development, Varalakshmi Basawapatna will exclude herself from any substantive involvement as an employee of the Company in the development, enhancement, modification
or production of similar, comparable or directly competitive technology of the Company and shall promptly inform the Company in writing that such new areas should form additional exceptions to the proprietary technology and non compete provisions of
the Agreement and to any other employment agreement between her and the Company. Nothing herein shall modify or limit Ms. Basawapatna’s obligation not to disclose, publish or use Confidential Information of the Company pursuant to her employee
non-disclosure agreement with the Company.

terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture). 
  
 Additional Securities of the same Series
(“Additional Securities”) may be issued from time to time subsequent to the original issue date of any Securities of such Series following the receipt by the Trustee of a Directors’ Certificate pertaining to such Additional
Securities, which Directors’ Certificate will identify the Series to which such Additional Securities belongs and the issue date and aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities. Any such Additional Securities shall be issued on
original issue as provided in Section 2.3. 
  
 Additional Securities, together with each prior and subsequent
Securities of the same Series, shall constitute one and the same Series of Securities for all purposes under this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION
2.2    Form and Dating. 
  
 The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto, which is part of this Indenture, with such appropriate insertions, omissions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such legends or
endorsements placed thereon, as the Officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends
or endorsements required by law, stock exchange or securities association rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
  
 The terms and provisions contained in the form of Securities annexed hereto as Exhibit A shall constitute, and are expressly made, a part of this Indenture. To the extent applicable, the Company and
the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. 
  
 Securities issued in the form of one or more permanent global Securities in registered form, substantially in the form as above recited (the “Global Securities”) shall be deposited with or on behalf of the
Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Each Global Security shall bear the global securities legend substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and
such legend or legends as may be required or reasonably requested by the Depository. 
  
 The aggregate principal
amount of the Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased, as applicable, by adjustments made on the records of the Depository or its nominee and the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, at any time prior to cancellation,
if, in accordance with this Indenture and the Securities (including any applicable restrictions on transfer) any beneficial interest in a Global Security is (a) exchanged for definitive registered Securities, (b) redeemed, (c) repurchased, (d)
cancelled, or (e) exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Security. 
  
 The definitive registered
Securities shall be typed, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any stock exchange or securities association on which the Securities may be
listed or quoted, all as determined by the Officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 
  
 SECTION 2.3    Execution and Authentication. 
  
 Two Officers shall sign the
Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 
  
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no
longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. 
  
 A
Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized officer of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

 
 7 

  
 The Trustee shall authenticate Securities upon a written order of the Company
signed by two Officers. Such order shall specify the Series and the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date on which such Securities are to be authenticated. The aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding at any time is
unlimited. In authenticating such Securities and in accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of
Counsel stating, 
  
 (1)    that the form or forms of such Securities have been
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 
  
 (2)    that
the terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
  
 (3)    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 valid and
legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 
  
 The Trustee shall initially act as authenticating agent
and may subsequently appoint another Person acceptable to the Company as authenticating agent to authenticate Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may
do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. Provided that the
authentication agent has entered into an agreement with the Company concerning the authentication agent’s duties, the Trustee shall not be liable for any act or any failure of the authenticating agent to perform any duty either required herein
or authorized herein to be performed by such Person in accordance with this Indenture. 
  
 The Trustee shall have the
right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would
expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders or would affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

  
 The Securities shall be issued only in registered form without coupons. 
  
 SECTION 2.4    Registrar and Paying Agent. 
  
 The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may
be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The
term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, provided that there shall only be one register for each Series of Securities. So long as a
Series of Securities is listed or quoted on a stock exchange or securities association, the Company shall maintain a co-registrar and a co-paying agent in such other locations, if any, as such stock exchange or securities association shall require.

  
 The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to
this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent and any change in the address of such agent. If the
Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 6.7. The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying
Agent, Registrar or transfer agent. 

 
 8 

  
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in
connection with the Securities. 
  
 SECTION 2.5    Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. 
  
 On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal and interest on any Security, the Company shall deposit
with the Paying Agent a sum of money denominated in the currency of such payment, in immediately available funds, sufficient to pay such principal and interest in funds available when such becomes due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent
(other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities (whether such
money has been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities) and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Securityholders. If the Company defaults in its obligation to deposit funds for the
payment of principal and interest the Trustee may, during the continuation of such default, require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the
Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by it. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. 

 
 SECTION 2.6    Securityholder Lists. 
  
 The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the
Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the
names and addresses of the Securityholders, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). 
  
 SECTION
2.7    Transfer and Exchange. 
  
 The Securities shall be transferable only upon the surrender of
a Security to the Registrar for registration of transfer. When a Security is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of Section
8-401(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met (and the Registrar shall be entitled to assume such requirements have been met unless it receives written notice to the contrary) and, if so required by the Trustee or the Company, if the Security
presented is accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, duly executed by the registered owner or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, in which case, the Registrar shall deliver,
to or at the direction of such registered owner, one or more new Securities of the same Series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount. When Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them
for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series and of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. The Depository shall, by acceptance of a Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only (a) in
accordance with this Indenture and the Securities represented by such Global Security and (b) through a book- entry system maintained by the Depository (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Global Security shall be
required to be reflected in a book entry. 
  
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of the Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable
upon exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 8.5 or 9.6). 

 
 9 

  
 Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the
Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest (subject to the
record date provisions thereof) on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

  
 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.7, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part
for Securities of any Series in definitive registered form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a Series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of
such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by such Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository. 
  
 If the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Global Securities of any Series or if at any time the Depository
shall no longer be eligible under the next sentence of this paragraph, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to such Securities. Each Depository appointed pursuant to this Section 2.7 must, at the time of its appointment and
at all times while it serves as Depository, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation. The Company will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver upon a written order of the
Company signed by two Officers, Securities in definitive registered form without coupons in any authorized denominations representing Securities of a Series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities of such Series if (i) the Depository
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Global Securities of such Series or if at any time the Depository shall no longer be eligible to serve as Depository and a successor Depository for the Securities
of such Series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility or (ii) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such Series has occurred and is continuing.

  
 The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of a Series shall no longer
be represented by a Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers, Securities of such Series in definitive registered
form without coupons in any authorized denominations representing such Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 
  
 Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive registered form without coupons pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, in authorized denominations, such Global Security shall be cancelled by
the Trustee. Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Security, pursuant
to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 
  
 No holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this Indenture
with respect to such Global Security, and such Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee or
any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by a Depository or impair, as between a Depository and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depository (or its nominee) as Holder of any
Security. 

 
 10 

  
 The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Securities of a Series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 9.3 and ending at the close of
business on the day of such mailing or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
  
 All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture will evidence the same debt and will be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
  
 SECTION
2.8    Replacement Securities. 
  
 If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if
the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and the Holder furnishes to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking, the Company shall
issue and the Trustee shall, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, authenticate a replacement Security of the same Series if the requirements of Section 8-405 of
the Uniform Commercial Code are met (and the Registrar shall be entitled to assume such requirements have been met unless it receives written notice to the contrary) and if there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity
as may be required to save each of them harmless, satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security. 
  
 In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken 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. 
  
 Every replacement Security of each Series is an additional obligation
of the Company and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
  
 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, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities. 
  

SECTION 2.9    Outstanding Securities. 
  
 The Securities of each Series outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section as not
outstanding. 
  
 If a Security is replaced or paid pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding unless the
Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced or paid Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
  
 If all the principal and interest on any Securities of any Series are considered paid under Section 3.1, the Securities of such Series cease to be outstanding under this Indenture and interest on the Securities of such
Series shall cease to accrue. 
  
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the
Company) holds in accordance with this Indenture on a maturity or redemption date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest due on that date with respect to Securities of any Series then on and after that date such Securities cease to be
outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue (unless there shall be a default in such payment). 
  
 Subject to
Section 2.10, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate thereof holds the Security. 

 
 11 

  
 SECTION 2.10    Determination of Holders’ Action. 
  
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of any Series of Securities have concurred in any direction,
amendment, waiver or consent, Securities owned by or pledged to the Company, any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that for the
purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned or pledged shall be so disregarded. 
  
 SECTION 2.11    Temporary Securities. 
  
 Until definitive Securities of any Series are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities of such Series. Temporary Securities shall be
substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee, upon the written order of the Company
signed by two Officers, shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until such exchange, temporary Securities of any Series shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Securities of
such Series. 
  
 SECTION 2.12    Cancellation. 
  
 The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to
them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall deliver to the Company a certificate of cancellation. The Company
may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  
 SECTION
2.13    Defaulted Interest. 
  
 If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the
Securities of any Series, it shall pay Defaulted Interest, plus any interest payable on the Defaulted Interest to the extent permitted by law, in any lawful manner. It may pay the Defaulted Interest to the Persons who are Securityholders on a
subsequent special record date which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date. The Company shall fix the special record date and payment date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or the Trustee,
in the name of and at the expense of the Company) shall mail to Securityholders a notice that states the special record date, payment date and amount of interest to be paid. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
  
 COVENANTS 

 
 SECTION 3.1    Payment of Securities. 
  
 The Company shall pay the principal of and interest on the Securities of each Series on the dates and in the manner provided in such Securities. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at
the rate borne by or provided for in such Securities; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by or provided for in such Securities to the extent lawful. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date
due if the Trustee or the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Company) has received from or on behalf of the Company money sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due in accordance with Section 2.5.

 
 12 

  
 SECTION 3.2    Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
  
 The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, and, in the case of Securities listed or quoted on a stock
exchange or securities association, in such other locations, if any, as shall be required by such stock exchange or securities association, an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for
presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities 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 to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
address of the Trustee set forth in Section 10.2. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as its agency for the foregoing purposes in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York. 
  
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and
may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, 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 3.3    Compliance Certificate. 
  
 The
Company shall, within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year in which Securities are outstanding hereunder, file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate, provided that one Officer executing the same shall be the principal
executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Company, covering the period from the date of issuance of Securities hereunder to the end of the fiscal year in which the Securities were first issued
hereunder, in the case of the first such certificate, and covering the preceding fiscal year in the case of each subsequent certificate, and stating whether or not, to the knowledge of each such executing Officer, the Company has complied with and
performed and fulfilled all covenants on its part contained in this Indenture and is not in Default in the performance or observance of any of the terms or provisions contained in this Indenture, and, if any such signer has obtained knowledge of any
Default by the Company in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any such covenant, term or provision specifying each such Default and the nature thereof. For the purpose of this Section 3.3, compliance shall be determined without regard to
any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 3.4    SEC
Reports. 
  
 The Company shall, to the extent required by TIA Section 314(a), file with the Trustee, within 15 days
after the filing with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to
file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In the event the Company is at any time no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it shall, for so long as the Securities remain
outstanding, file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company would have been required to file such documents with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports which the Company would have been
required to file with the SEC if the Company had continued to be subject to such Sections 13 or 15(d). The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a). 
  
 Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on
Officers’ Certificates). 

 
 13 

  
 SECTION 3.5    Further Instruments and Acts. 
  
 The Company (upon the reasonable request of the Trustee) will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may
be reasonably necessary or proper to enable the Trustee to exercise and enforce its rights under this Indenture and to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 3.6    Additional Amounts. 
  
 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 and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal of or interest
on the Securities of that Series if there has been a change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the principal Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee,
an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent whether such payment of principal of or interest on the Securities of that Series shall be made to Holders of the Securities of that Series without withholding or deduction
for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that Series. If any such withholding or deduction shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if
any, required to be withheld or deducted on such payments to such Holders and shall certify the fact that additional amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable to each Holder, and the Company shall pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the
additional amounts required to be paid 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. 
  
 Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any interest or any other amounts on, or in respect of, any Security of
any Series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided by the terms of such Series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be
payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding the payment of additional amounts in those provisions hereof
where such express mention is not made. 
  
 If the Company determines that it is, or on the next interest payment
date would be, required to pay an additional amount with respect to a Series of Securities, such Series shall be redeemable, at the option of the Company, at any time in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount
thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed by the Company for redemption and all additional amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on such redemption date as a result of the redemption or otherwise, in
accordance with the procedures for redemption contained in Article IX hereof; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to make such payment (or
withholding, if a payment in respect of such Series were then due). Prior to the mailing or, where relevant, publication of any notice of redemption of such Series pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel of recognized international standing to the effect that the circumstances requiring the payment of an additional amount with respect to such Series exist. The Trustee shall accept such opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of
the conditions precedent to the redemption, in which event it shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

 ARTICLE IV 
  
 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE AND LEASE 
  
 SECTION
4.1    Merger and Consolidation of Company. 
  
 The Company shall not in a single transaction or
through a series of related transactions consolidate with or merge with or into any other corporation or sell, assign, convey, transfer or lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person or group of
affiliated Persons, unless: 
  
 (i)  either (A) the Company shall be the continuing Person,
or (B) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which the properties and assets of the Company are sold, assigned, conveyed, transferred, disposed of or leased as aforesaid (the
“Successor Corporation”) shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed

with this Indenture and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with; 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (ii), the Company or any Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge into the Company or any Subsidiary and no violation of this Section shall be deemed to have occurred as a consequence thereof,
as long as the requirements of paragraphs (i) and (iii) are satisfied in connection therewith.

 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
  
 SECTION 5.1    Events of Default. 
  
 An “Event of Default” means, with respect to any Series of Securities, any of the following events: 

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

 
 15 

  
 (b)  default in the payment of the principal of any Security of such
Series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity or otherwise, including a default in the making of any sinking fund payment or analogous obligation on the Securities of such Series; 
  
 (c)  material default in performance of any other covenants or agreements in the Securities of such Series or this Indenture and the default continues for 60 days
after the date on which written notice of such default is given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of such Series then outstanding hereunder; 

 
 (d)  there shall have occurred either (i) a default by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary under any instrument
or instruments under which there is or may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company (other than the Securities of such Series) having an outstanding principal amount of $50,000,000 (or its
foreign currency equivalent) or more individually or in the aggregate that has caused the holders thereof to declare such Indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its Stated Maturity, unless such declaration has been rescinded within 30 Business
Days or (ii) a default by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in the payment when due of any portion of the principal under any such instrument or instruments, and such unpaid portion exceeds $50,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent)
individually or in the aggregate and is not paid, or such default is not cured or waived, within any grace period applicable thereto, unless such Indebtedness is discharged within 30 Business Days of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary becoming
aware of such default; 
  
 (e)  the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning
of any Bankruptcy Law: 
  
 (i)  commences a voluntary case; 
  
 (ii)  consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; 
  
 (iii)  consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property;

  
 (iv)  makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or 

 
 (v)  admits in writing its inability to generally pay its debts as such debts become due;

  
 or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; 
  
 (f)  a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 
  
 (i)  is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; 
  

(ii)  appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of its property; or 

 
 (iii)  orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary;

  
 or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days.

  
 The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar Federal or
State law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  
 Any notice of Default given by the Trustee or Securityholders under this Section must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a
“Notice of Default.” 
  
 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the
occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default under clause (d), (e) or (f) hereof. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1 and 6.2, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless
written notice thereof shall have been given to
 

 
 16 

 
the Trustee in accordance with Section 10.2 by the Company, the Paying Agent, any Holder or an agent of any Holder and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. 

 
 SECTION 5.2    Acceleration. 
  
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (e) and (f) of Section 5.1 with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series,
the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of such Series by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of
such Series to be due and payable. Upon such declaration the principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 5.1 with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of and
interest on all the Securities of each Series shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders. If all existing Events of Default with respect to
such Series have been cured or waived (except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration), the acceleration and its consequences in respect of a Series of Securities shall be automatically annulled and
rescinded; provided, that such annulment and rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right. 

 
 SECTION 5.3    Other Remedies. 
  
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal or interest on the relevant Securities or to enforce the performance of
any provision of such Securities or this Indenture. 
  
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
  
 SECTION
5.4    Waiver of Past Defaults. 
  
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of a Series of
Securities by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences with respect to such Series, except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series or (b) a Default in respect of a
provision that under Section 8.2 cannot be amended without the consent of each affected Securityholder of such Series. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of
Default or impair any consequent right. 
  
 SECTION 5.5    Control by Majority. 
  
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a Series may 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 it with respect to such Series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, or, subject to
Section 6.1, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders, or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that
is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification from Securityholders of such Series reasonably satisfactory to it against all risk, losses and expenses caused by taking
or not taking such action. Subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of the Securityholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless
such Securityholders shall have provided to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred in compliance with such request or direction. 

 
 17 

  
 SECTION 5.6    Limitation on Suits. 
  
 A Securityholder of a Series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such Series only if: 

 
 (a)  the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to that Series;

  
 (b)  the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of such Series make a written
request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
  
 (c)  such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security
or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense; 
  
 (d)  the Trustee
does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the notice, request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
  
 (e)  the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such Series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period. 
  
 A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over
another Securityholder. 
  
 SECTION 5.7    Rights of Holders To Receive Payment. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal and interest
on the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the
Holder. 
  
 SECTION 5.8    Collection Suit by Trustee. 
  
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing with respect to a Security, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on such Security for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid (together with interest on such unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for
in Section 6.7. 
  
 SECTION 5.9    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
  
 The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and take such other actions including participating as a member or
otherwise in any committees of creditors appointed in the matter as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the amounts provided in Section 6.7) and the Securityholders allowed in any
judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders of each Series in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person
performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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 its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7. To the extent that the
payment of any such amount due to the Trustee under Section 6.7 out of the estate in any such proceeding shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions,
dividends, money, securities and other properties which the Holders of the Securities may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. 

 
 18 

  
 No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the
claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

  
 SECTION 5.10    Priorities. 
  
 If the Trustee collects any money or other consideration pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money or other consideration in the following order: 
  
 First:  to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.7; 
  
 Second:  to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities of the relevant Series for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such Series for principal and interest, respectively; and 
  
 Third:  to the Company. 
  
 The Trustee may fix a
record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders of such Series pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall give written notice to each Securityholder of such Series and the Trustee of the
record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 
  
 SECTION 5.11    Undertaking for Costs. 
  
 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to
Section 5.7, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities of any Series. 
  
 SECTION
5.12    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 
  
 The Company shall 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
hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had
been enacted. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
  
 TRUSTEE 
  
 SECTION 6.1    Duties of Trustee. 

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

(b)  Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee
shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 

 
 (c)  The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act,
or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
  
 (i)  This paragraph does not limit the
effect of paragraph (b) of this Section.

error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

 (d)  Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs
(a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

other funds except to the extent required by law. 
  
 SECTION 6.2    Rights of

been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 
  
 (b)  Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel or both covering such matters as it shall reasonably determine. The Trustee shall not be liable for
any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on any such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 
  
 (c)  The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice of such counsel. 
  
 (f)  The Trustee shall not be obligated to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond,

 20 

  
 (g)  The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
  
 (h)  The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its
capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 6.3    Individual Rights of Trustee. 
  
 The Trustee in its individual or
any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is
subject to Sections 6.10 and 6.11. 
  
 SECTION 6.4    Trustee’s Disclaimer.

  
 The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this
Indenture or the Securities of any Series, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities of any Series, and it shall not be responsible for any recital or statement in this Indenture or the Securities of
any Series other than its authentication. The Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance of the Company’s covenants in Article III hereof. 
  
 SECTION 6.5    Notice of Defaults. 
  
 If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Securityholders of the affected Series a notice of
the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default in any payment on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as
a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders of the affected Series. 
  
 SECTION 6.6    Reports by Trustee to Holders. 
  
 Within 60 days after the first July 15 following the first issuance of Securities hereunder, and for so long as Securities are outstanding hereunder, the Trustee shall mail to Securityholders a brief
report dated as of such date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) if required by that Section. The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). 
  
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange or securities association on which Securities are listed or quoted. The Company
shall promptly notify the Trustee when Securities are listed or quoted on any stock exchange or securities association and of any delisting thereof. 
  
 SECTION 6.7    Compensation and Indemnity. 
  
 The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as the parties shall agree. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of
a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements, expenses and advances incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket
disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents, counsel and other professionals. 

 
 21 

  
 The Company shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and expenses, incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder including the costs
and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.
Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company
shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through negligence or bad faith. 
  
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or
property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Securities of any Series. 
  
 Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e) or (f) occurs, the expenses and
the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  
 The Company’s obligations under this Section 6.7 and any Lien arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Article VII of this Indenture
and the termination of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 6.8    Replacement of
Trustee. 
  
 A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective
only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. 
  
 The Trustee may
resign at any time with respect to any Series of Securities by so notifying the Company in writing. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to any Series of Securities at any
time by so notifying the Trustee of such Series of Securities. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may, by written notice to the Trustee, remove the Trustee as Trustee with respect to that Series of
Securities by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company, by notice to such Trustee, shall remove such Trustee if: 
  
 (a)  such Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10; 
  
 (b)  such Trustee is
adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; 
  
 (c)  a receiver or public officer takes charge of such Trustee or
its property; or 
  
 (d)  such Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 
  
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or becomes incapable of acting or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason with
respect to one or more Series of Securities, the Company by Board Resolution shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to such Series of Securities (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with
respect to one or more or all Series of Securities and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to any particular Series of Securities). Within one year after the successor Trustee of a Series of Securities takes office, the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of such Securities of the affected Series may appoint a successor Trustee of such Series to replace the successor Trustee of such Series appointed by the Company. 

 
 22 

  
 If a successor Trustee for a particular Series of Securities does not take office
within 60 days after the retiring Trustee of such Series resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee of such Series, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Securities of the affected Series may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee for such Series. 
  
 If the Trustee for a
particular Series of Securities fails to comply with Section 6.10, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee of
such Series and the appointment of a successor Trustee of such Series. 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. 
  
 A successor Trustee of all Securities shall execute, acknowledge and deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and such successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee under this Indenture. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject
to the Lien provided for in Section 6.7. 
  
 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 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 and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those Series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring
Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in
such supplemental Indenture shall constitute such Trustee’s 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 action,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers 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 transfer 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,
subject to the Lien provided for in Section 6.7. 
  
 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 the two preceding paragraphs, as the case may be. 
  
 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 6.9    Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 
  
 If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

 
 23 

  
 SECTION 6.10    Eligibility; Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 

 
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1) and (10). The Trustee shall
always have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b). Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the
SEC the application referred to in the second-to-last paragraph of TIA Section 310(b). If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, with respect to the Securities of a Series, it shall within 90 days after ascertaining that it has
such conflicting interest, either eliminate such conflicting interest or resign with respect to the Securities of that Series in the manner prescribed in the TIA. 
  
 SECTION 6.11    Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 
  
 The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), except with respect to any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed is subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent
indicated.

outstanding Securities of a Series (other than Securities replaced or paid pursuant to Section 2.8 or Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust by the Company with the Trustee or a Paying Agent and thereafter repaid
to the Company as provided in the second sentence of Section 7.6) for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Securities of such Series have become due and payable and the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee as trust funds solely for the
benefit of the Holders for that purpose funds sufficient to pay at maturity or on redemption the principal of and all accrued interest on all outstanding Securities of such Series (other than Securities replaced or paid pursuant to Section 2.8 or
Securities for whose payment money has heretofore been deposited in trust by the Company with the Trustee or Paying Agent and thereafter repaid to the Company as provided in the second sentence of Section 7.6), and if in either case the Company pays

 (ii) with reference to this Section 7.2, the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with
the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) and conveyed all right, title and interest for the benefit of the Holders of such Series, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form
satisfactory to the Trustee as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of such Holders, in and to, (A) money in an amount, (B) U.S. Government Obligations that, through the payment of
interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide, not later than one Business Day before the due date of any payment referred to in this clause (ii), money in an amount or (C) a combination thereof in an amount
sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge,
 

 
 24 

 
without consideration of any reinvestment of interest and after payment of all federal, state and local taxes or other fees, charges and assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee or
Paying Agent, the principal of and interest on the outstanding Securities of such Series when due; provided that the Trustee or Paying Agent shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government
Obligations to the payment of such principal and interest with respect to such Series; 
  
 (iii)  no Default with respect to such Series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit,

party or by which it is bound; and 
  
 (v)  the Company has delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such Series have been complied with;

be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of the notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company. 
  

With respect to the foregoing, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.12, 3.1, 3.2, 3.6, 6.7, 6.8, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7 shall
survive until the Securities of such Series are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the Company’s obligations in Sections 6.7, 6.8, 7.6 and 7.7 shall survive. After any such irrevocable deposit and fulfillment of the other requirements of
this Section 7.2, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Securities of such Series and this Indenture with respect to such Series except for those surviving obligations
specified above. 
  
 SECTION 7.3    Defeasance and Discharge of Indenture. 
  
 Unless otherwise provided with respect to a Series of Securities in accordance with Section 2.1, the Company will be deemed to have paid
and will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of such Series on the 123rd day after the date of the deposit referred to in clause (i) hereof, and the provisions of this Indenture will no longer be in effect with respect to such

reference to this Section 7.3, the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) and conveyed all right, title and
interest for the benefit of the Holders of such Series, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form satisfactory to the Trustee as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of
such Holders, in and to, (A) money in an amount, (B) U.S. Government Obligations that, through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide, not later than one Business Day before the due
date of any payment referred to in this clause (i), money in an amount or (C) a combination thereof in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge,
 

 
 25 

 
without consideration of any reinvestment of interest and after payment of all federal, state and local taxes or other fees, charges and assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee or
Paying Agent, the principal of and interest on the outstanding Securities of such Series when due; provided that the Trustee or Paying Agent shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government
Obligations to the payment of such principal and interest with respect to such Series; 
  
 (ii)  such deposit will not result in or constitute a Default or result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;

  
 (iii)  no Default with respect to such Series shall have occurred and be continuing on
the date of such deposit or during the period ending on the 123rd day after such date of deposit; 
  
 (iv)  the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (A) either (1) a ruling directed to the Trustee received from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section 7.3 and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such option had not been exercised or (2) an Opinion of Counsel (who may not be an employee of the Company) to the same effect as the ruling described in clause (1) accompanied by a ruling to that effect published by the Internal Revenue
Service, unless there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law since the date of this Indenture such that a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service is no longer required and (B) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (1) the
creation of the defeasance trust does not violate the Investment Company Act of 1940, (2) after the passage of 123 days following the deposit (except, with respect to any trust funds for the account of any Holder of such Series who may be deemed to
be an “insider” for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, after one year following the deposit), the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code or Section 15 of the
New York Debtor and Creditor Law in a case commenced by or against the Company under either such statute; and 
  
 (v)  the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the defeasance contemplated by this
Section 7.3 have been complied with. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i), prior to the end of the 123-day
period referred to in clause (iv)(B)(2) above, none of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to such Series shall be discharged. Subsequent to the end of such 123-day period with respect to this Section 7.3, the
Company’s obligations in Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.12, 3.1, 3.2, 6.7, 6.8, 7.6 and 7.7 shall survive with respect to such Series until the Series is no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the Company’s obligations in
Sections 6.7, 7.6 and 7.7 shall survive with respect to such Series. If and when a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (iv)(A) above is able to be provided specifically without regard to, and not in
reliance upon, the continuance of the Company’s obligations under Section 3.1, then the Company’s obligations under such Section 3.1 with respect to such Series shall cease upon delivery to the Trustee of such ruling or Opinion of Counsel
and compliance with the other conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 7.3. 
  
 After any such irrevocable deposit and the fulfillment of the other requirements of this Section 7.3, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Securities
of such Series and this Indenture with respect to such Series except for those surviving obligations in the immediately preceding paragraph.

 SECTION 7.4    Defeasance of Certain Obligations. 
  
 If so provided with respect to a Series of Securities in accordance with Section 2.1, the Company may omit to comply with any term,
provision or condition set forth in any covenant established with respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.1(9), and clause (c) of Section 5.1 with respect to any such covenant, and clause (d) of Section 5.1 shall be deemed not to be an Event of
Default, in each case with respect to the outstanding Securities of such Series, if: 
  
 (i)  with reference to this Section 7.4, the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) and
conveyed all right, title and interest for the benefit of the Holders of such Series, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form satisfactory to the Trustee as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated
solely to, the benefit of such Holders, in and to, (A) money in an amount, (B) U.S. Government Obligations that, through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide, not later than one
Business Day before the due date of any payment referred to in this clause (i), money in an amount or (C) a combination thereof in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest and after payment of all federal, state and local taxes or other fees, charges and assessments in respect thereof
payable by the Trustee or Paying Agent, the principal of and interest on the outstanding Securities of such Series when due; provided that the Trustee or Paying Agent shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds
of such U.S. Government Obligations to the payment of such principal and interest with respect to such Series; 
  
 (ii)  such deposit will not result in or constitute a Default or result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;

  
 (iii)  no Default with respect to such Series shall have occurred and be continuing on
the date of such deposit or during the period ending on the 123rd day after such date of deposit; 
  
 (iv)  the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel who is not employed by the Company to the effect that (A) the creation of the defeasance trust does not violate the Investment Company Act of 1940, (B)
such Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section 7.4 and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised and (C) after the passage of 123 days following the deposit (except, with respect to any trust funds for the account of any Holder of such series who may be
deemed to be an “insider” for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, after one year following the deposit), the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code or Section
15 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law in a case commenced by or against the Company under either such statute; and 
  
 (v)  the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the defeasance contemplated
by this Section 7.4 have been complied with. 
  
 After any such irrevocable deposit and the fulfillment of the other
requirements of this Section 7.4, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of such of the Company’s obligations under the Securities of such Series and this Indenture with respect to such Series as the Company may
omit to comply with pursuant to this Section 7.4. 
  
 Before or after a deposit pursuant to this Section, the Company
may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date in accordance with Article IX.

 SECTION 7.5    Application of Trust Money. 
  
 Subject to Section 7.7 of this Indenture, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited
with it pursuant to Section 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of this Indenture, as the case may be, and shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest
on the Securities of the relevant Series. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to invest such money or U.S. Government Obligations and in no event shall the Trustee have any liability for, or in respect of, any such investment made.

  
 SECTION 7.6    Repayment to Company. 
  
 Subject to Sections 6.7, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 of this Indenture, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon written request any excess money
or U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time pursuant to this Article, which in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which
delivery shall only be required if U.S. Government Obligations have been so provided), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance with this Article
VII, and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such money. 
  
 Subject to any applicable
abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them (whether pursuant to this Article or otherwise) for the payment of principal or interest of any Series that remains
unclaimed for two years; provided that the Company shall if requested by the Trustee or the Paying Agent, give the Trustee or such Paying Agent indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it against any and all liability which may be incurred
by it by reason of such payment. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another person, and all liability of the Trustee and such
Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease. 
  
 SECTION 7.7    Reinstatement. 
  
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4
of this Indenture, as the case may be, by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations
under this Indenture and the Securities of the applicable Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of this Indenture, as the case may be, 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 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of this Indenture, as the case may be; provided that, if the Company has made any payment of principal of or
interest on any Series of Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Series to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the
Trustee or Paying Agent. 
  

	SECTION 7.8    Deposited
	 
	Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust: Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 

  

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited or the
principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of outstanding Securities.

 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS 
  
 SECTION 8.1    Without Consent of
Holders. 
  
 The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend this Indenture as it
relates to any one or more Series of Securities or enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) with respect to any one or more Series of Securities
without notice to or the consent of any Securityholder of such Series for one or more of the following purposes: 
  
 (a)  to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; 
  
 (b)  to comply with Article IV; 
  
 (c)  to provide for
uncertificated Securities of such Series in addition to certificated Securities of such Series; provided that such uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such
that such uncertificated Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code; 
  
 (d)  to add additional guarantees with respect to such Series or to secure such Series; 
  
 (e)  to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of such Series or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; 
  
 (f)  to comply with the requirements of the SEC in connection with qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; 
  
 (g)  to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder of such Series;
including, without limitation, changing any payment record dates as necessary to conform to then-current market practice; or 
  
 (h)  to provide for the issuance of Securities with terms not currently contemplated by Section 2.1. 
  
 After an amendment or supplement pursuant this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such
notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement under this Section. 
  
 SECTION 8.2    With Consent of Holders. 
  
 The Company, when authorized by a
Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture with respect to any one or more Series of Securities with the written consent, as to each such Series, of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of
such Series. However, with respect to a Series of Securities, without the consent of each Securityholder of such Series, an amendment or supplement under this Section may not: 
  
 (a)  reduce the amount of Securities the Holders of which must consent to an amendment or supplement or waiver; 
  
 (b)  reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Security; 

 
 29 

  
 (c)  reduce the principal of or change the Stated
Maturity of any Security; 
  
 (d)  modify any redemption or repurchase right to the
detriment of a Holder; 
  
 (e)  make any Security payable in currency or consideration
other than that stated in the Security; 
  
 (f)  make any change in Section 5.4, Section
5.7 or this second sentence of this Section 8.2. 
  
 An amendment or supplement which changes or eliminates any
covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular Series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such Series with respect to such
covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other Series. 
  
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 8.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
approves the substance thereof. 
  
 After an amendment or supplement under this Section becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement
under this Section. 
  
 SECTION 8.3    Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture that complies with the
TIA as then in effect. 
  
 SECTION 8.4    Revocation and Effect of Consents. 
  
 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Article becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of any Security is a continuing
consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of Securities of that Series or portion thereof that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such
Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. 
  
 After an amendment or supplement becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder of the affected Series. 
  
 SECTION 8.5    Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 
  
 If an amendment changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holders of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Securities of
such Series regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holders. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Securities of such Series shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Securities
of such Series that reflect the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue new Securities of such Series shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 
  
 SECTION 8.6    Trustee To Sign Amendments. 
  
 The Trustee shall sign any supplemental indenture which sets forth an amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities
of the Trustee under this Indenture or otherwise. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such supplemental indenture the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be
 

 
 30 

 
fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and, with respect to
an amendment or supplement pursuant to Section 8.2, evidence of the consents of Holders required in connection therewith. 
  
 SECTION
8.7    Fixing of Record Dates. 
  
 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record
date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to take any action under this Indenture by vote or consent. Except as provided herein, such record date shall be the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or vote or
the date of the most recent list of Securityholders furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.6 prior to such solicitation. If a record date is fixed, those Persons who were Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated
proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled 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; provided that unless such
vote or consent is obtained from the Holders (or their duly designated proxies) of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities prior to the date which is the 120th day after such record date, any such vote or consent previously given
shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. 
  
 ARTICLE IX

  
 REDEMPTION 
  
 SECTION 9.1    Applicability of Article. 
  
 Securities of any Series which are
redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.1) in accordance with this Article. 
  

SECTION 9.2    Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
  
 The election of the Company to redeem Securities of any Series shall be evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 60 days
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 such Securities (i) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (ii) that is subject to compliance with any conditions provided for 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 or conditions. 
  

SECTION 9.3    Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed. 
  
 If less than all the Securities of the 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 which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to authorized denominations for
Securities of that Series) of the principal amount of Securities of such Series. 
  
 The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company 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 of any Series 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. 

 
 31 

  
 SECTION 9.4    Notice of Redemption. 
  
 Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s registered address. 
  
 All
notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP and, if applicable, ISIN and Common Code numbers) and shall state: 
  
 (1)    the Redemption Date, 
  
 (2)    the Redemption Price, 
  
 (3)    if less than all the outstanding Securities of such Series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed,

  
 (4)    that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and
payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, 
  
 (5)    the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and 
  
 (6)    that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. 
  
 Notice of redemption of Securities of any Series 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. The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such
notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. 
  
 SECTION 9.5    Deposit of Redemption Price. 
  
 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 to the Redemption Date; provided that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of
such Securities registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record dates according to their terms. 
  
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 

 
 SECTION 9.6    Securities Redeemed in Part. 
  
 Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee for such Security so requires,
due endorsement by, 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 Security or Securities of the same Series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for
the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

 (Form of Reverse of Security) 
  
 ELECTRONIC ARTS INC. 
     % SENIOR NOTE DUE
             
  
 (1)    Interest.    Electronic Arts Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture referred to below, being herein called the
“Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the interest rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest semiannually on
             and              of each year. Interest on the Securities of this Series will accrue from the most
recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from             . Interest will be computed [on the basis of
a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months] [as set forth in the Directors’ Certificate or supplemental indenture delivered pursuant to Section 2.1]. 
  
 (2)    Method of Payment.    The Company will pay interest on the Securities of this Series (except Defaulted Interest) to the persons who are registered Holders
of Securities of this Series at the close of business on the record date next preceding the interest payment date even though such Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender
Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may pay
principal and interest by check payable in such money. It may mail an interest check to a Holder’s registered address. 
  
 (3)    Paying Agent, Registrar.    Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking corporation (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.
The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar. 
  
 (4)    Indenture.    The Company issued the Securities of this Series under an Indenture dated as of January 29, 2003 (the “Indenture”)
between the Company and the Trustee. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more Series under the Indenture and may be issued in an unlimited principal amount. The terms of the Securities
include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein are
used as defined in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. 
  
 (5)    Redemption.    [Set forth redemption provision, if any.] 
  
 (6)    Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.    The Securities of this Series are in registered form without coupons in denominations
of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof [or as otherwise set forth in the Security]. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of a
Series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 9.3 of the Indenture and ending at the close of business on the
day of such mailing or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
  
 (7)    Defeasance.    Subject to certain conditions and unless otherwise provided in the terms of
the Securities of this Series, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money and/or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal
and interest on the Securities to maturity. 
  
 (8)    Persons Deemed
Owners.    The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes, except that interest (other than Defaulted Interest) will be paid to the person that was the registered Holder on the relevant record
date for such payment of interest. 

 
 A-3 

  
 (9)    Amendments and Waivers.    Subject
to certain exceptions, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each Series affected; and (ii) any existing default with respect to the
Securities of this Series may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such Series. Without the consent of any Securityholder, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented to
cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, to provide for assumption of Company obligations to Securityholders or to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities, to provide for guarantees
with respect to, or security for, the Securities, or to comply with the TIA or to add additional covenants or surrender Company rights, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder. 
  
 (10)    Remedies.    If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this Series occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this Series may declare all the Securities of this Series to be due and payable immediately. Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the
Securities of this Series except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require an indemnity before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a
Series may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power with respect to such Series. The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines
that withholding notice is in their interests. The Company must furnish an annual compliance certificate to the Trustee. 
  
 (11)    Subordination.    [Set forth subordination provision, if any.] 
  
 (12)    Trustee Dealings with Company.    Subject to the provisions of the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits
from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee. The Trustee will initially be Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. 
  
 (13)    No Recourse Against Others.    A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of
the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Securityholder by accepting a
Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 
  
 (14)    Authentication.    This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized officer of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

  
 (15)    Abbreviations.    Customary abbreviations may be used in the name
of a Securityholder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to
Minors Act). 
  
 Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification
Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers (or as to the accuracy of ISIN numbers, Common Code numbers or similar numbers) as printed on the
Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 
  
 THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH TO ANY
SECURITYHOLDER UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE A COPY OF THE INDENTURE, WHICH HAS IN IT THE TEXT OF THIS SECURITY, IN TWELVE-POINT TYPE. REQUESTS MAY BE MADE TO: INVESTOR RELATIONS DIRECTOR, ELECTRONIC ARTS INC., 209 REDWOOD SHORES PARKWAY,
