EXECUTION VERSION

EMPLOYEE PROTECTION AND NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT
This EMPLOYEE PROTECTION AND NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the 17th day of June, 2015 and is effective as of the 1st day of July, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), by and between VENTAS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Todd W. Lillibridge (“Executive”).
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive entered into an employment agreement dated as of June 22, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Employment Agreement terminated in accordance with its terms on July 1, 2015, and the Company and Executive now desire to enter into this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement provides Executive with severance if Executive’s employment is terminated in certain circumstances and provides the Company with certain protections regarding Executive’s actions, including after termination of employment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the respective covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and Executive agree as follows:
1.Obligations of the Company upon Termination.  Following any termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause (as defined below) or by Executive with Good Reason (as defined below) hereunder, the Company shall pay Executive’s Base Salary through the Date of Termination (as defined below) and all amounts earned and owed (but yet unpaid) to Executive pursuant to the terms and conditions of the executive benefit plans and programs of the Company in effect at the time such payments are due, including accrued and unpaid vacation.  The term “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement shall refer to Executive’s base salary annualized, as most recently increased.  In addition, except for a termination in connection with a Change in Control (defined below) covered by Section 2 hereof, subject to Executive’s execution of a general release of claims in form substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Release”), Executive shall be entitled to the following additional payments:
(a)    Other than for Cause, or for Good Reason.  If the Company shall terminate Executive’s employment other than for Cause or if Executive shall terminate Executive’s employment for Good Reason:
(i)    The Company shall pay Executive within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination (but not earlier than the date on which the Release becomes irrevocable) a lump sum payment equal to the sum of (A) Executive’s annual Base Salary and (B) the annual cash bonus Executive would receive for the year of termination assuming maximum individual and Company performance; provided, that in no event shall the payment made pursuant to this Section 1(a)(i) exceed the Maximum Amount.  The term “Maximum Amount,” for purposes of this Agreement, shall mean $3,000,000; provided, however, that for any 

termination that occurs in calendar years subsequent to 2015, the Maximum Amount will be adjusted to reflect increases, if any, in the Consumer Price Index that have occurred in the period between December 31, 2014 and the end of the calendar year immediately preceding the Date of Termination.  As an example, if the termination occurs in 2016, the Maximum Amount shall be adjusted for increases in the Consumer Price Index that occur between December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, and if the termination occurs in 2017, the Maximum Amount shall be adjusted for increases in the Consumer Price Index that occur between December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2016.  For purposes of this Agreement, Consumer Price Index means the CPI for All Urban Consumers (All Items; Base Year 1982), compiled and published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor.
(ii)    The Company shall, at the Company’s election, either (A) provide during the one (1) year period beginning on the Date of Termination (the “Medical Benefit Severance Period”) Executive with continued medical, dental and vision benefits (but no other benefits) at the same level as if Executive remained actively employed during the Medical Benefit Severance Period, or (B) pay to Executive a cash lump sum payment equal to (1) twelve (12) multiplied by (2) the excess of the monthly COBRA (as defined below) premium as of Executive’s Date of Termination for the medical, dental and vision coverage Executive had immediately prior to Executive’s Date of Termination over the monthly dollar amount Executive would have paid to the Company for such medical, dental and vision coverage if Executive remained employed during the Medical Benefit Severance Period.  If the Company elects pursuant to the preceding sentence to provide medical, dental and vision benefits during the Medical Benefit Severance Period, Executive shall pay the Company on a monthly basis the portion of the periodic cost of such continued coverage equal to the dollar amount of such periodic cost as if Executive remained employed during the Medical Benefit Severance Period and such medical, dental and vision benefits shall terminate at the earlier of (A) the end of the Medical Benefit Severance Period or (B) the time they would be permitted to terminate under Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”).  As and to the extent provided by COBRA, Executive will be eligible to continue Executive’s health insurance benefits at Executive’s own expense for the statutory period prescribed by COBRA, treating Executive’s termination of employment as the “qualifying event” (as defined in COBRA).
(b)    Cause; Executive Resignation.  If Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company for Cause or by Executive other than for Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further additional obligations to Executive under this Agreement.
(c)    Death after Termination.  In the event of the death of Executive during the period Executive is receiving payments pursuant to this Agreement, Executive’s 

2

designated beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the balance of the payments, or in the event of no designated beneficiary, the remaining payments shall be made to Executive’s estate.
2.    Occurrence of a Change in Control.
(a)    Termination Other than for Cause, or for Good Reason.  If a Change in Control shall occur and within one (1) year after the date of the occurrence of such Change in Control, the Company shall terminate Executive’s employment other than for Cause or Executive shall terminate Executive’s employment for Good Reason (a “Change in Control Severance”), subject to Executive’s execution of the Release and in lieu of the benefits under Section 1 hereof:
(i)    The Company shall pay Executive within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination (but not earlier than the date on which the Release becomes irrevocable) a lump sum payment equal to two and one-half (2.5) times the sum of (A) Executive’s annual Base Salary, plus (B) the annual cash bonus Executive would receive for the year of termination assuming target individual and Company performance; provided, that in no event shall the amount of such payment exceed the Maximum Amount.
(ii)    The Company shall, at the Company’s election, either (A) provide during the two (2) year period commencing on the date of the Change in Control Severance (“Change in Control Medical Benefit Severance Period”) Executive with continued medical, dental and vision benefits (but no other benefits) at the same level as if Executive remained actively employed during the Change in Control Medical Benefit Severance Period or (B) pay to Executive a cash lump sum payment equal to (1) twenty-four (24) multiplied by (2) the excess of the monthly COBRA premium as of Executive’s Date of Termination for the medical, dental and vision coverage Executive had immediately prior to Executive’s Date of Termination over the monthly dollar amount Executive would have paid to the Company for such medical, dental and vision coverage if Executive remained employed during the Change in Control Medical Benefit Severance Period.  If the Company elects pursuant to the preceding sentence to provide medical, dental and vision benefits during the Change in Control Medical Benefit Severance Period, Executive shall pay the Company on a monthly basis the portion of the periodic cost of such continued coverage equal to the dollar amount of such periodic cost as if Executive remained employed during the Change in Control Medical Benefit Severance Period, and such medical, dental and vision benefits shall terminate at the earlier of (A) the end of the Change in Control Medical Benefit Severance Period or (B) the time they would be permitted to terminate under COBRA.  As and to the extent provided by COBRA, Executive will be eligible to continue Executive’s health insurance benefits at Executive’s own expense for the statutory period prescribed by COBRA, treating Executive’s termination of employment as the “qualifying event” (as defined in COBRA).

3

(b)    Change in Control.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i)    An acquisition (other than directly from the Company) of any voting securities of the Company (the “Voting Securities”) by any “Person” (having the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and as used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)) immediately after which such Person has beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) (“Beneficial Ownership” and/or Beneficially Owned”) of thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred, Voting Securities which are acquired in a Non-Control Acquisition (as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an acquisition which would cause a Change in Control.  A Non-Control Acquisition shall mean an acquisition by (i) the Company or any company, corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other Person in which the Company directly or indirectly owns a majority interest (“Subsidiary”), (ii) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, or (iii) any Person in connection with a Non-Control Transaction (as hereinafter defined);
(ii)    The individuals who, as of July 1, 2015, were members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this Section 2(b), be considered a member of the Incumbent Board; and provided, further, however, that no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as described in former Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the 1934 Act) (“Election Contest”) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board of Directors of the Company (a “Proxy Contest”), including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; or
(iii)    Approval by stockholders of the Company and the consummation of: 
(A)    A merger, consolidation or reorganization involving the Company, unless such transaction is a Non-Control Transaction.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Non-Control Transaction” shall mean a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company in which:

4

[1]    The stockholders of the Company, immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own, directly or indirectly immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization, at least forty-five percent (45%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the corporation or entity resulting from such merger, consolidation or reorganization (the “Surviving Company”) over which any Person has Beneficial Ownership in substantially the same proportion as their Beneficial Ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization;
[2]    The individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such merger, consolidation or reorganization constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors or equivalent body of the Surviving Company; and
[3]    No Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary, any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a part thereof) maintained by the Company, the Surviving Company or any Person who, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, had Beneficial Ownership of thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the then outstanding Voting Securities) has Beneficial Ownership of thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the combined voting power of the Surviving Company’s then outstanding voting securities.
(B)    A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
(C)    The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person (other than a transfer to a Subsidiary).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject Person”) acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the outstanding Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person; provided, however, that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the then outstanding Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur.

5

3.    Restrictive Covenants.
(a)    Confidentiality.
(iv)    Executive shall not, unless written permission is granted by the Company, disclose to or communicate in any manner with the press or any other media about Executive’s employment with the Company, the terms of this Agreement, the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, the Company’s businesses or affairs, the Company’s officers, directors, employees and/or consultants, or any matter related to any of the foregoing.
(v)    Executive acknowledges that it is the policy of the Company and its Subsidiaries to maintain as secret and confidential all information and techniques acquired, developed, possessed or used by the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to their business, operations, actual or potential products, strategies, assets, liabilities, potential assets and liabilities, employees, customers, tenants, operators, borrowers, managers, proposed or prospective customers, tenants, operators, borrowers and managers, business partners, communities, buildings and facilities (including without limitation: information protected by the Company’s attorney/client, work product, or tax advisor/audit privileges; tax matters and information; financial analysis and models; the Company’s strategic plans; negotiations with third parties; methods, policies, processes, formulas, techniques, know-how and other knowledge; trade practices, trade secrets, or financial matters; lists of customers or customers’ purchases; lists of suppliers, representatives, or other distributors; lists of and information (business, financial or otherwise) about tenants, operators, borrowers, managers and customers and their respective businesses and operations; requirements for systems, programs, machines, or their equipment; information regarding the Company’s bank accounts, credit agreement or financial projections, results or information; information regarding the Company’s directors or officers or their personal affairs), whether or not any such information or any of the material described above is explicitly designated or marked as “confidential” (“Confidential Information”).  “Confidential Information” shall not include information that (A) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Executive in violation of this Agreement, (B) was available to Executive on a non-confidential basis prior to Executive’s employment with the Company, or (C) is compelled to be disclosed by any law, regulation or order of a court or governmental agency, provided that prior written notice is given to the Company and Executive cooperates with the Company in any efforts by the Company to limit the scope of such obligation and/or to obtain confidential treatment of any material disclosed pursuant to such obligation.  Executive recognizes that all such Confidential Information is the sole and exclusive property of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause damage to the Company and its Subsidiaries.  Executive shall not disclose, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information obtained 

6

during Executive’s employment with the Company, and will take all necessary precautions to prevent disclosure, to any unauthorized individual or entity inside or outside the Company, and will not use the Confidential Information or permit its use for the benefit of Executive or other third party other than the Company.  These obligations shall continue for so long as the Confidential Information remains Confidential Information.
(b)    Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation, Noninterference.  Executive shall not during Executive’s employment with the Company and during the one (1) year period after the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), either directly or indirectly (through another business or person), engage in or facilitate any of the following activities anywhere in the United States:
(i)    Hiring, recruiting, engaging as a consultant or adviser, employing or attempting or soliciting to hire, recruit or employ any person employed by the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate, or causing or attempting to cause any third party to do any of the foregoing; nothing in this Section 3(b)(i) shall, however, restrict Executive from general employment advertising on a broad basis not targeted at or designed for any such employee;
(ii)    Causing or attempting to cause any person employed at any time during the Restricted Period by the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate to terminate his or her relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate;
(iii)    Soliciting, enticing away, or endeavoring to entice away, or otherwise interfering with any employee, customer, tenant, operator, manager or proposed employee, customer, tenant, operator or manager with whom the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate has ongoing contact, financial partner or proposed financial partner with whom the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate has ongoing contact, vendor, supplier or other similar business relation, who at any time during the Restricted Period or who at any time during the period commencing one (1) year prior to the Date of Termination, to Executive’s knowledge, maintained a material business relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate or with whom the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate is targeting for a material business relationship or is engaged in discussions with to commence a material business relationship at the time of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company; or
(iv)    Performing services as an employee, director, officer, consultant, independent contractor or advisor; or investing in, whether in the form of equity or debt, owning any interest or otherwise having an ownership or other interest or a connection to any Prohibited Entity (as defined below); or performing services as an employee, director, officer, consultant, independent contractor or advisor to any other company, entity or person if those services relate directly to a business or businesses that directly and materially compete with the Company anywhere in the United States.  Nothing in this Section 3(b)(iv) shall, however, restrict 

7

Executive from (A) making an investment in and owning up to two percent (2%) of the common stock of any company whose stock is listed on a national exchange, provided that such investment does not give Executive the right or ability to control or influence the policy decisions of any direct competitor, or (B) except as provided in Section 3(c) below, performing services as an employee, director, officer, consultant, independent contractor or advisor of an operating company that provides healthcare goods or services other than leasing or financing of real property (for example, a hospital or a nursing facility).  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Prohibited Entity” is any company, entity or person that derives more than twenty percent (20%) of its consolidated gross revenues from a business or businesses that directly and materially compete with the Company.  
(c)    Other Prohibited Activities.  Executive acknowledges that Executive’s position at the Company provides Executive with access to highly sensitive information concerning the Company’s lessees, managers, borrowers and operators and their affiliates and leases, operating agreements, management agreements and other contractual agreements with such lessees, managers, borrowers and operators and their affiliates which are critical to the Company’s ability to effectively function and to the properties to be purchased by the Company, and that if Executive were to provide services for such lessees, managers, borrowers and operators and/or their affiliates such services would cause irreparable damages to the Company.  Executive shall not during Executive’s employment and the Restricted Period, either directly or indirectly (through another business or person), engage in or facilitate any of the following activities anywhere in the United States or in any location outside the United States where the Company conducts or plans to conduct business: performing services as an employee, director, officer, consultant, independent contractor or advisor of, or investing in, whether in the form of equity or debt, owning any interest or otherwise having an ownership or other interest in any of the Company’s then current lessees, managers, borrowers or operators or any of their respective parent, sister, subsidiary or affiliated entities (other than any such lessee, manager, borrower or operator that, together with its parent, sister, subsidiary and affiliated entities, contributes less than five percent (5%) of the Company’s net operating income (NOI), computed on a pro forma annualized basis consistent with the Company’s most recent supplemental disclosure, and is not in default under any of its agreements with the Company nor has an ongoing dispute with the Company) in any manner, including without limitation as an owner, principal, partner, officer, director, stockholder, employee, consultant, contractor, agent, broker, representative or otherwise.  Nothing in this Section 3(c) shall, however, restrict Executive from making an investment in and owning, directly or indirectly, up to two percent (2%) of the common stock of any company whose stock is listed on a national exchange, provided that such investment does not give Executive the right or ability to control or influence the policy decisions of any lessee, manager, borrower or operator or any of its parent, sister, subsidiary or affiliated entities. 

8

(d)    Non-Disparagement.
(i)    Executive agrees not to make, or cause to be made, any statement, observation or opinion, or communicate any information (whether oral or written, directly or indirectly) that (A) accuses or implies that the Company and/or any of its affiliates, together with their respective present or former officers, directors, partners, stockholders, employees and agents, and each of their predecessors, successors and assigns, engaged in any wrongful, unlawful, unethical or improper conduct, whether relating to Executive’s employment (or termination thereof), the business or operations of the Company, or otherwise; or (B) disparages, impugns or in any way reflects adversely upon the business, good will, products, business opportunities, competency, character, behavior or reputation of the Company and/or any of its affiliates, together with their respective present or former officers, directors, partners, stockholders, employees and agents, and each of their predecessors, successors and assigns.
(ii)    Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude Executive or the Company from providing truthful testimony or information pursuant to subpoena, court or other similar legal process or proceedings.
(e)    New Employer.  Executive shall provide the terms and conditions of this Section 3 to any prospective new employer or new employer and shall permit the Company to contact any such company, entity or individual to confirm Executive’s compliance with this Section 3 and shall provide the Company with such information as it requests to allow such inquiry.
(f)    Reasonableness of Restrictive Covenants.
(i)    Executive acknowledges that the covenants contained in this Section 3 are reasonable in the scope of the activities restricted, the geographic area covered by the restrictions, and the duration of the restrictions, and that such covenants are reasonably necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate interests in its Confidential Information, its reputation, and in its relationships with its employees, customers, and suppliers.
(ii)    The Company has consulted, and Executive has had an opportunity to consult, with their respective legal counsel and to be advised concerning the reasonableness and propriety of such covenants.  Executive acknowledges that Executive’s observance of the covenants contained herein will not deprive Executive of the ability to earn a livelihood or to support Executive’s dependents.
(iii)    If any provision or portion of Section 3 of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration, territory or terms thereof, Executive agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to and shall reduce the scope, duration, territory and/or terms of such provision, so that the provision is enforceable by the court to afford the maximum protection to 

9

the Company under the law, and such provision as amended shall be enforced by the court.
(g)    Right to Injunction.  In recognition of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information, and in recognition of the necessity of the limited restrictions imposed by Section 3, Executive and the Company agree that it would be impossible to measure solely in money the damages which the Company would suffer if Executive were to breach any of Executive’s obligations hereunder.  Executive acknowledges that any breach of any provision of this Agreement would irreparably injure the Company.  Accordingly, Executive agrees that if Executive breaches any of the provisions of Section 3, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled under this Agreement or otherwise, to an injunction to be issued without bond by a court of competent jurisdiction, to restrain any breach, or threatened breach, of any provision of Section 3, and Executive hereby waives any right to assert any claim or defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law for any such breach or to require the Company to post bond or other security during the pendency of such injunction.
(h)    Assistance.  During the one (1) year period following a termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall from time to time provide the Company with such reasonable assistance and cooperation as the Company may reasonably from time to time request in connection with any financial and business issues, investigation, claim, dispute, judicial, legislative, administrative or arbitral proceeding, or litigation (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) arising out of matters within the knowledge of Executive and related to Executive’s position as an employee of the Company.  Such assistance and cooperation shall include providing information, declarations or statements to the Company, signing documents, meeting with attorneys or other representatives of the Company, and preparing for and giving truthful testimony in connection with any Proceeding or related deposition.  Executive shall agree to also make himself available to assist the Company with transition of Executive’s duties to his successor and addressing ongoing issues and problems.  In any such instance, Executive shall provide such assistance and cooperation at times and in places mutually convenient for the Company and Executive and which do not unreasonably interfere with Executive’s business or personal activities.  The Company shall reimburse Executive’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with such assistance and cooperation upon Executive’s written request in such form and containing such information as the Company shall reasonably request.
4.    Termination of Employment.  Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for any reason whatsoever or for no reason and with or without Cause.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive’s employment with the Company is terminable at the will of the Company without any obligation, except as may be expressly provided in Section 1 or Section 2.

10

(a)    Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) Executive’s indictment for, conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, any felony or a misdemeanor involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude; (ii) the willful or intentional material breach by Executive of Executive’s duties and responsibilities; (iii) the willful or intentional material misconduct by Executive in the performance of Executive’s duties, or (iv) the willful or intentional failure by Executive to comply with any lawful instruction or directive of the CEO.  
(b)    Good Reason.  Executive may terminate Executive’s employment for Good Reason or without Good Reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following occurring on or after the Effective Date:
(i)    A material diminution in Executive’s position, authority or duties (including the assignment to Executive of any duties materially and adversely inconsistent with Executive’s position, authority or duties hereunder), excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Executive;
(ii)    The Company shall materially reduce (other than pursuant to a uniform reduction applicable to other similarly situated executives of the Company) the Base Salary or annual target bonus opportunity of Executive;
(iii)    The Company shall require Executive to relocate Executive’s principal business office to any location more than thirty (30) miles from its location on the Effective Date; or
(iv)    The failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 7(c);
which, in each case, is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from Executive to the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to constitute Good Reason and affording an opportunity to cure.  Any termination of employment by Executive for Good Reason shall be communicated to the Company by written notice in accordance with this Agreement.  Executive must deliver to the Company the Notice of Termination (as defined below) not later than ninety (90) days after Executive has actual knowledge of an act or omission which constitutes Good Reason.  In the event that the Company fails to remedy the condition constituting Good Reason during the applicable cure period, the Separation from Service (as defined below) must occur, if at all, within six (6) months following the end of such cure period in order for such termination as a result of such condition to constitute a termination for Good Reason.
(c)    Notice of Termination.  Any termination by the Company for Cause or by Executive for Good Reason shall be communicated by notice (a “Notice of Termination”) given in accordance with this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, a Notice of 

11

Termination means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination by the Company (for Cause) or by Executive (with Good Reason) of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated, and (iii) specifies the intended termination date.  The failure by the Company or Executive to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Cause or Good Reason shall not waive any right of the Company or Executive, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Company or Executive, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing their respective rights hereunder.
(d)    Date of Termination.  “Date of Termination” means (i) if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination or (ii) if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, the date on which the Company notified Executive of such termination.  To the extent necessary to have payments and benefits under this Agreement be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code Section 409A”), or comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company and Executive agree to cooperate in a reasonable manner (including with regard to any post-termination services by Executive) such that the Date of Termination as defined in this Agreement shall constitute a “separation from service” pursuant to Code Section 409A (“Separation from Service”).  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the date on which a Separation from Service occurs shall be the “Date of Termination” or termination of employment for purposes of determining the timing of payments under this Agreement to the extent necessary to have such payments and benefits under this Agreement be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A or comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A. 
5.    Disputes.  Any dispute or controversy arising under, out of, or in connection with this Agreement shall, at the election and upon written demand of the Company, be finally determined and settled by binding arbitration in the City of Chicago, Illinois, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules and procedures of JAMS, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  Each party shall bear its own costs, legal fees and other expenses respecting such arbitration; provided, however, if one party shall prevail in the claims in such arbitration as determined by the arbitrator, the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party’s costs, legal fees and other expenses respecting such arbitration.  The parties agree that for any dispute for which the Company does not make the arbitration election and demand, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue will be in the federal or state courts located in Cook County, Illinois.
6.    Successors.
(a)    This Agreement is personal to Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by Executive otherwise than by will or 

12

the laws of descent and distribution.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s legal representatives.  
(b)    This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.  This Agreement shall not be terminated by the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the Company or by any merger or consolidation where the Company is not the surviving corporation, or upon any transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s stock or assets.  In the event of such merger, consolidation or transfer, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the surviving corporation or corporation to which such stock or assets of the Company shall be transferred.
(c)    The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, or any business of the Company for which Executive’s services are principally performed, to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as herein before defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.
7.    Other Severance Benefits.  Executive hereby agrees that in consideration for the payments to be received under Section 1 or Section 2 of this Agreement, Executive waives any and all rights to any payments or benefits under any plans, programs, contracts or arrangements of the Company or its affiliates that provide for severance payments or benefits upon a termination of employment.
8.    Payment Cutback.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payments or benefits to which Executive becomes entitled, whether pursuant to the terms of or by reason of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement, agreement, policy or program (including without limitation any restricted stock, stock option, stock appreciation right or similar right, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on the vesting or exercisability of any of the foregoing) with the Company, any successor to the Company or to all or a part of the business or assets of the Company (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, spin off, or otherwise and regardless of whether such payment is made by or on behalf of the Company or such successor) or any person whose actions result in a Change in Control or any person affiliated with the Company or such persons (in the aggregate, “Total Payments”), constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), and but for this Section 8, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive will be entitled to receive either (a) the full amount of the Total Payments or (b) a portion of the Total Payments having a value equal to $1 less than three (3) times such individual’s “base amount” (as such term is defined in Section 280G(b)(3)(A) of the Code), whichever of (a) and (b), after taking into account applicable federal, state, and local income and employment taxes and the excise tax imposed by 

13

Section 4999 of the Code or any successor provision of the Code or any similar state or local tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest portion of the Total Payments.
All determinations required to be made under this Section 8 shall be made by the accountant or tax counsel or other similar expert advisor selected by Executive (such advisor, the “Tax Advisor”), which shall, if requested, provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Company or Executive that there has been Total Payments, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company or Executive, and if requested, a written opinion.  All fees, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, the costs of retaining experts) of the Tax Advisor shall be borne by the Company.  The determination by the Tax Advisor shall be binding upon the Company and Executive.
9.    Withholding.  The Company may withhold all applicable required federal, state, local and other employment, income and other taxes from any and all payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement.
10.    No Mitigation.  Executive shall have no duty to mitigate Executive’s damages by seeking other employment and, should Executive actually receive compensation from any such other employment, the payments required hereunder shall not be reduced or offset by any such compensation, except that the medical benefits provided pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii) or Section 2(a)(ii) may be terminated as provided by Section 1(a)(ii) or Section 2(a)(ii) if Executive receives benefits from a subsequent employer.
11.    Notices.  Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and effective when delivered or sent by telephone facsimile transmission, personal or overnight couriers, or registered mail, in each case with confirmation of receipt, addressed as follows:
If to Executive: at the most recent address on file with the Company.
If to Company:
Ventas, Inc.
10350 Ormsby Park Place, Suite 300
Louisville, KY 40223
Attn.: General Counsel
Either party may change its specified address by giving notice in writing to the other in accordance with the foregoing method.
12.    Waiver of Breach and Severability.  The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by either party.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, which other 

14

provision shall remain in full force and effect.  In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, it may be severed from the Agreement and the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall continue to be binding and effective.
13.    Entire Agreement; Amendment.  This instrument contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements (including the Employment Agreement), promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations and warranties between them, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.  No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by Executive and the Company.
14.    Agreement Does Not Grant Employment Rights.  This Agreement shall not be construed as granting to Executive any right to employment by the Company.  The right of the Company to terminate Executive’s employment at any time, with or without Cause, is specifically reserved.   
15.    Compliance with Code Section 409A.  All payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 16.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is intended to be interpreted and operated to the fullest extent possible so that the payments and benefits under this Agreement either shall be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A or shall comply with the requirements of such provision; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement in no event shall the Company be liable to Executive for or with respect to any taxes, penalties or interest which may be imposed upon Executive pursuant to Code Section 409A.
(a)    Payments to Specified Employees.  To the extent that any payment or benefit pursuant to this Agreement constitutes a “deferral of compensation” subject to Code Section 409A (after taking into account to the maximum extent possible any applicable exemptions) (a “409A Payment”) treated as payable upon a Separation from Service, then, if on the date of Executive’s Separation from Service, Executive is a Specified Employee, then to the extent required for Executive not to incur additional taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A, no such 409A Payment shall be made to Executive earlier than the earlier of (i) six (6) months after Executive’s Separation from Service; or (ii) the date of his death.  Should this Section 16 otherwise result in the delay of in-kind benefits (for example, health benefits), any such benefit shall be made available to Executive by the Company during such delay period at Executive’s expense.  Should this Section 16 result in payments or benefits to Executive at a later time than otherwise would have been made under this Agreement, on the first day any such payments or benefits may be made without incurring additional tax pursuant to Code Section 409A (the “409A Payment Date”), the Company shall make such payments and provide such benefits as provided for in this Agreement, provided that any amounts that would have been payable earlier but for the application of this Section 16, as well as reimbursement of the amount Executive paid for benefits pursuant to the preceding sentence, shall be paid in lump-sum on the 409A Payment Date along with accrued interest at the rate of 

15

interest published in the Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” (or equivalent) on the date that payments or benefits, as applicable, to Executive should have been made under this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 16, the term “Specified Employee” shall have the meaning set forth in Code Section 409A, as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company.  For purposes of determining whether a Separation from Service has occurred for purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A, subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company are those included by using a twenty percent (20%) standard to define the controlled group under Code Section 1563(a) in lieu of the fifty percent (50%) default rule.  In addition, for purposes of determining whether a Separation from Service has occurred for purposes of Code Section 409A, a Separation from Service is deemed to include a reasonably anticipated permanent reduction in the level of services performed by Executive to less than fifty percent (50%) of the average level of services performed by Executive during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period.
(b)    Reimbursements.  For purposes of complying with Code Section 409A and without extending the payment timing otherwise provided in this Agreement, taxable reimbursements under this Agreement, subject to the following sentence and to the extent required to comply with Code Section 409A, will be made no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred.  To the extent required to comply with Code Section 409A, any taxable reimbursements and any in-kind benefits under this Agreement will be subject to the following: (a) payment of such reimbursements or in-kind benefits during one calendar year will not affect the amount of such reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any other calendar year (other than for medical reimbursement arrangements as excepted under Treasury Regulations §1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv)(B) solely because the arrangement provides for a limit on the amount of expenses that may be reimbursed under such arrangement over some or all of the period the arrangement remains in effect); (b) such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another form of compensation to Executive and (c) the right to reimbursements under this Agreement will be in effect for the lesser of the time specified in this Agreement or ten (10) years plus the lifetime of Executive.  Any taxable reimbursements or in-kind benefits shall be treated as not subject to Code Section 409A to the maximum extent provided by Treasury Regulations §1.409A-1(b)(9)(v) or otherwise under Code Section 409A.
(c)    Release.  To the extent that Executive is required to execute and deliver a Release to receive a 409A Payment, and this Agreement provides for such 409A Payment to be provided prior to the 55th day following Executive’s Separation from Service, such 409A Payment will be provided upon the 55th day following Executive’s Separation from Service provided the Release in the form mutually agreed upon between Executive and the Company or in the form set forth in Appendix A has been executed, delivered and effective prior to such time.  To the extent a 409A Payment is made at a later time than otherwise would have been made under this Agreement because of the provisions of the preceding sentence of this Section 16(c), interest for the delay and the opportunity for Executive to pay for benefits in the interim with subsequent reimbursement from the 

16

Company shall be provided in a manner consistent with that set forth in Section 16(a).  To the extent that Executive is required to execute and deliver a Release to receive a 409A Payment and this Agreement provides for such 409A Payment to be provided in accordance with Section 16(a), such 409A Payment will be provided as set forth in Section 16(a) provided the Release in the form mutually agreed upon between Executive and the Company or in the form set forth in Appendix A has been executed, delivered and effective prior to such time.  If a Release is required for a 409A Payment and such Release is not executed, delivered and effective by the date six (6) months after Executive’s Separation from Service if such 409A Payment is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 16(a) or the 55th day following Executive’s Separation from Service if such 409A Payment is not subject to the limitations set forth in Section 16(a), such 409A Payment shall not be provided to Executive to the extent that providing such 409A Payment would cause such 409A Payment to fail to comply with Code Section 409A.  To the extent that any payments or benefits under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A as a short-term deferral pursuant to Treasury Regulations §1.409A-1(b)(4) or any successor thereto and require Executive to provide a Release to the Company to obtain such payments or benefits, any Release required for such payment or benefit must be provided in the form mutually agreed upon between Executive and the Company or in the form set forth in Appendix A no later than March 7th of the calendar year following the calendar year of Executive’s Separation from Service.
(d)    No Acceleration; Separate Payments; Termination of Employment.  No 409A Payment payable under this Agreement shall be subject to acceleration or to any change in the specified time or method of payment, except as otherwise provided under this Agreement and consistent with Code Section 409A.  If under this Agreement, a 409A Payment is to be paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Section 409A, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the date on which a Separation from Service occurs shall be treated as the termination of employment date for purposes of determining the timing of payments under this Agreement to the extent necessary to have such payments and benefits under this Agreement be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
(e)    Cooperation.  If the Company or Executive determines that any provision of this Agreement is or might be inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the parties shall attempt in good faith to agree on such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate to avoid subjecting Executive to the imposition of any additional tax under Code Section 409A without changing the basic economic terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with Code Section 409A from Executive or any other individual to the Company.  This Section 16 is not intended to impose any restrictions on payments or benefits to Executive other than those otherwise set forth in this Agreement or required for Executive not to incur additional tax under Code Section 409A and shall be interpreted and operated accordingly.  The Company to the extent reasonably requested by Executive 

17

shall modify this Agreement to effectuate the intention set forth in the preceding sentence.
16.    Recoupment.  Executive acknowledges that Executive will be subject to recoupment policies adopted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other law or the listing requirements of any national securities exchange on which the common stock of the Company is listed.
17.    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Illinois without regard to its choice of law principles.
18.    Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret or construe its provisions.
19.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

APPENDIX A
RELEASE AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS
This Release and Waiver of Claims (“Release”) is made as of this ____ day of _____________, _____, by and between Ventas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Todd W. Lillibridge (“Executive”).
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive entered into an Employee Protection and Noncompetition Agreement, effective as of July 1, 2015 (the “Agreement”);
WHEREAS, Executive’s employment with the Company has terminated; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the termination of Executive’s employment, under the Agreement, Executive is entitled to certain payments and other benefits.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the payments and other benefits, if any, due Executive under the Agreement (“Severance Payments”), the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:
1.    Except as specifically provided herein, Executive, for Executive and Executive’s heirs, agents, executors, successors, assigns, legal representatives, personal representatives, and administrators (collectively, the “Related Parties”), intending to be legally bound, does hereby RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE the Company, its agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, joint ventures, and its and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, predecessors, and partners, and its and their respective successors and assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators (collectively, “Releasees”) from all causes of action, suits, debts, claims obligations, and demands of every kind and nature whatsoever in law or in equity, known or unknown, which Executive ever had, now has, or hereafter may have, or which the Related Parties may have, by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, at any time prior to the execution of this Release and particularly, but without limitation of the foregoing general terms, any claims arising from or relating in any way to the Agreement, Executive’s employment relationship with Company, the terms and conditions of that employment relationship, and the termination of that employment relationship, including, but not limited to the following: claims or demands related to salary, bonuses, commissions, stock, stock options, any other ownership interests in the Company, paid time off, fringe benefits, expense reimbursements, sabbatical benefits, severance benefits, or any other form of compensation or equity; any claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq., the Older Worker’s Benefit Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. § 626(0(1), Title VII of The Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., the Civil Rights Act of 1871, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101-12213, the Rehabilitation Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (“FMLA”), 29 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq., the Fair Labor Standards Act; any other claims under any federal, state or local common law, statutory, or regulatory provision, now or hereafter recognized; claims for wrongful discharge, discrimination, fraud, defamation, harassment, emotional distress, or breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and any claims for attorneys’ fees and costs.  

A-1

This Release does not apply to any claims that cannot be released or waived by law or to claims for the following: payments and benefits to Executive provided for under the Agreement or any employee benefit plan or equity plan of the Company in which Executive is a participant, including, without limitation, any options, stock or other equity awards that are vested (including those that vested as a result of Executive’s termination of employment), or payment of any benefits to which Executive may be entitled under a Company sponsored tax qualified retirement or savings plan; any rights of Executive to indemnification under the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Company, the Agreement or other agreement between Executive and the Company; or any rights of Executive under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by the Company.  Except as specifically provided herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that this Release shall operate as a clear and unequivocal waiver by Executive of any claim for accrued or unpaid wages, benefits or any other type of payment other than as provided to Executive under the Agreement or any employee benefit plan or equity plan of the Company in which Executive is a participant.  It is the intention of the parties to make this Release as broad and as general as the law permits as to the claims released hereunder.
2.    Executive further agrees and recognizes that Executive has permanently and irrevocably severed Executive’s employment relationship with the Company, that Executive shall not seek employment at any time in the future with the Company or any entity with which the Company is consolidated for financial reporting purposes, and that the Company has no obligation to employ Executive in the future.
3.    Executive agrees that no promise or inducement to enter into this Release has been offered or made except as set forth herein and that Executive is entering into this Release without any threat or coercion and without reliance on any statement or representation made on behalf of the Company or by any person employed by or representing the Company, except for the written provisions and promises contained in this Release.
4.    The parties agree that damages incurred as a result of a breach of this Release will be difficult to measure.  It is, therefore, further agreed that, in addition to the remedy set forth in Section 6(h) or any other remedies, equitable relief will be available in the case of a breach of this Release.  It also is agreed that, in the event Executive files a claim against the Company (other than a charge before the EEOC) with respect to a claim released by Executive herein, the Company may withhold, retain, or require reimbursement of the Severance Payments.
5.    The parties agree and acknowledge that this Release, and the settlement and termination of any asserted or unasserted claims against the Releasees pursuant to the Release, are not and shall not be construed to be an admission of any violation of any federal, state or local statute or regulation, or of any duty owed by any of the Releasees to Executive.
6.    Executive certifies and acknowledges:
(a)    Executive has read the terms of this Release, and Executive understands its terms and effects, including the fact that Executive has agreed to RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE all Releasees from any legal action or other liability of any type related in any 

A-2

way to the matters released pursuant to this Release other than as provided in the Agreement and in this Release;
(b)    Executive has signed this Release voluntarily and knowingly in exchange for the Severance Payments and other consideration described herein, which Executive acknowledges is adequate and satisfactory to Executive and which Executive acknowledges is in addition to any other benefits to which Executive is otherwise entitled;
(c)    Executive has been and is hereby advised in writing to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Release and Executive has had the opportunity to seek legal counsel in connection with this Release;
(d)    Executive does not waive rights or claims that may arise after the date this Release is executed;
(e)    Executive has been informed that Executive has the right to consider this Release for a period of [21] [45] days from receipt, and Executive has signed on the date indicated below after concluding that this Release is satisfactory to Executive;
(f)    Neither the Company, nor any of its directors, employees, or attorneys, has made any representations to Executive concerning the terms or effects of this Release other than those contained herein;
(g)    Executive has not filed a charge, lawsuit or any other claim (and will not hereafter file a charge, lawsuit or any other claim (other than a charge before the EEOC)) against the Company relating to Executive’s employment and/or cessation of employment with the Company or otherwise involving facts that occurred on or prior to the date that Executive has signed this Release, other than a lawsuit or claim that the Company has failed to pay Executive the Severance Payments or benefits due under any employee benefit plan or equity plan of the Company in which Executive is a participant; and
(h)    If Executive commences, continues, joins in, or in any other manner attempts to pursue a recovery for any claim released herein against any of the Releasees, or otherwise violates the terms of this Release, (i) Executive will cease to have any further rights to Severance Payments from the Company, and (ii) Executive shall be required to return any Severance Payments made to Executive by the Company (together with interest thereon).  A claim that would be expressly permitted by the terms of this Release were it successful will not be deemed a violation of this Release even if such claim is unsuccessful, provided that such claim is made in good faith.  In addition, this Release is not intended and does not limit Executive’s right to file a charge with or participate in an investigative proceeding of the EEOC.
7.    Executive acknowledges that Executive may later discover facts different from or in addition to those which Executive knows or believes to be true now, and Executive agrees that, in such event, this Release shall nevertheless remain effective in all respects, notwithstanding such different or additional facts or the discovery of those facts.

A-3

8.    This Release may not be introduced in any legal or administrative proceeding, or other similar forum, except one concerning a breach of this Release.
9.    If all or any part of this Release is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any other portion of this Release.  Any section or a part of a section declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of the section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.
10.    This Release shall not be altered, amended, or modified except by written instrument executed by the Company and Executive.  A waiver of any portion of this Release shall not be deemed a waiver of any other portion of this Release.
11.    This Release may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
12.    This Release shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois without regard to its choice of law principles.
13.    Executive also understands that Executive has the right to revoke this Release within seven (7) days after execution, and that this Release will not become effective or enforceable until the revocation period has expired, by giving written notice by regular mail and facsimile to the following:

	2.04	Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities 

 If the Company shall establish, pursuant to
or as contemplated by Section 3.01, that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with
Section 3.03, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of such series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered, if in registered form, in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Global Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall
be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction, and (iv) shall bear a legend to substantially the following effect: 

“THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A
DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE AND, UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS
EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE REGISTERED FORM, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO THE NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER
NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE 

  
 14 

 
DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR TO A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.” 

Each Depositary designated pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 3.01 for a Global Security to be delivered in the United
States must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation. 

If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for
the Securities of such series, or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of such series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives
such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company’s election pursuant to Section 3.01(N) shall no longer be effective with respect to the Securities of such series and the Company shall execute and the Trustee, upon
receipt of a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, shall authenticate and deliver as specified in such written order(s), Securities of such series in definitive form and in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 

The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global
Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event, the Company shall execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of
such series, shall authenticate and deliver as specified in such written order(s), Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such
series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. 
 If specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a series of
Securities, the Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company
and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, 
 (A) to
each Person specified by such Depositary, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person, in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, such Person’s beneficial
interest in the Global Security; and 
 (B) to such Depositary, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any,
between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities so delivered to Holders thereof. 

  
 15 

 In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, Securities in definitive registered form in authorized denominations. 
 Upon the exchange
of a Global Security for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to Section 3.05 shall be registered in such names and in such
authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Security Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Depositary Custodian with respect
to the Global Securities. The Company has entered into a letter of representations with the Depositary in the form provided by the Depositary and the Trustee and each agent of the Company or the Trustee are hereby authorized to act in accordance
with such letter and Applicable Procedures.

acceptable to the Trustee and such recipients, without any further action by the 

  
 19 

 
Company. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall
be fully protected in relying upon the documents specified in Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act, and in addition: 
 (A) the
instrument or instruments establishing the form or forms and terms of the Securities of such series, as provided in Sections 2.01 and 3.01; 

(B) an Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section 1.02, to the following effect, which Opinion of Counsel may contain
such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as such counsel shall deem appropriate: 
 (i) the forms and terms of such Securities have
been established in conformity with Section 2.01 and Section 3.01 of this Indenture; 
 (ii) all conditions
precedent set forth in Sections 2.01, 3.01 and 3.03 of this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of such Securities have been complied with; and 

(iii) 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 entitled to the benefits provided by this Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series if the Trustee reasonably determines
that such action may not lawfully be taken, would expose the Trustee to personal liability or would add to the obligations and duties of the Trustee hereunder in any material respect. In addition, prior to the authentication upon original issuance
of the first Security of a series to be issued which is denominated in a Foreign Currency or currency unit the Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such series if the Trustee determines in its
reasonable discretion that it would not be able to properly fulfill its obligations hereunder in respect of such Securities or to do so would be unduly burdensome to the Trustee. 

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of this Section 3.03, if all Securities of a series are not to be
originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate(s) otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the written order of the Company and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to
this Section 3.03 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 

  
 20 

	3.04	Temporary Securities. 

 Pending the preparation of a permanent Global Security or
definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon compliance with Section 3.03, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, or engraved or produced
by any combination of these methods, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the
Authorized Officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary securities may be in global form, representing all or a portion of the
Outstanding Securities of such series. 
 If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of
that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the
temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for such series. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor. 

Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities of such series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the payment of interest on Securities in temporary form. Such exchanges shall be made by the Company at its expense and
without any charge therefor. 
  

	3.05	Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

 The Company shall cause to be kept
for each series of Securities at one of the offices or agencies maintained in accordance with Section 5.02 a register or registers herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register” in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of such Securities and of transfers of such Securities. Said office or agency is hereby appointed the “Security Registrar” for the
purpose of registering such Securities and transfers of such Securities as herein provided. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer
of any Security of any series at an office or agency maintained in accordance with Section 5.02, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity. In no case shall there be more than one Security Register for a series of Securities. 

At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series (except a Global Security) may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series and
of like tenor, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity upon surrender of 

  
 21 

 
the Securities to be exchanged at an office or agency maintained in accordance with Section 5.02. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.05, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities 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 Depositary to the nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary
or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or to a nominee of such successor Depositary. 

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

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be
duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities. 

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any particular series during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection of Securities of such series to be redeemed under Section 4.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of the sending of a notice of redemption of Securities
of such series selected for redemption or (ii) 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. 

Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or
assignment of such Holder’s Security in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States Federal or state securities law. 

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under
this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require
delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with
the express requirements hereof. 

  
 22 

 None of the Trustee nor any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, nor the Company, shall have any
responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. 
  

	3.06	Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

 If any mutilated Security is
surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss
or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be requested by them to hold each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon request, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security
has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.06, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section 3.06
are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

 

	3.07	Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 

 Interest on any Security which is
payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for
such interest. 
 Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder at the close of business on the relevant Regular 

  
 23 

 
Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in either clause (A) or (B) below: 

(A) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
respective predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which Special Record Date shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing as to the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount
proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of
the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon, the Company shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the
date of the proposed payment and, unless otherwise agreed to by the Trustee, not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such Special Record Date and,
in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at such
Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register or sent pursuant to Applicable Procedures, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date. 

(B) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with
the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such
manner of payment shall be reasonably deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 3.07, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by
such other Security. 
  

	3.08	Persons Deemed Owners. 

 The Company and the Trustee, and their respective agents, shall
treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07) interest, if any, on such Security and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company nor the Trustee, nor their respective agents, shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

  
 24 

 None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests. 
  

	3.09	Cancellation. 

 All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking fund or analogous obligation shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company
may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the
Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 3.09, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be
disposed of by the Trustee pursuant to its standing procedures, and the Trustee shall, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Company a certificate of cancellation in respect thereof. 

 

	3.10	Computation of Interest; Calculations. 

 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, any interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

The Company shall be responsible for making calculations called for under the Securities and this Indenture, including but not limited to
determination of interest, additional amounts, redemption price, premium, if any, and any other amounts payable on the Securities. The Company will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and
binding on the Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when requested by the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent
verification. 
  

	3.11	CUSIP Numbers. 

 The Company in issuing any Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers
(if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall as a convenience use “CUSIP” numbers in notices to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as
printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

 IV. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS 
  

	4.01	Applicability of Right of Redemption. 

 Redemption of Securities (other than pursuant to
a sinking fund or analogous provision) permitted by the terms of any series of Securities shall be made in accordance with such terms 

  
 25 

 
and Sections 4.02, 4.03 and 4.04; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IV, if any such terms of a series of Securities
shall conflict with any provisions of this Article IV, the terms of such series shall govern. 
  

	4.02	Election to Redeem; Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemption. 

 The election of the
Company to redeem any Securities of any series shall be evidenced by, or pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate at the time notice of redemption is sent to the Holders of the Securities. In case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to
redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of the Securities of any series in accordance with the right reserved so to do, it shall give notice of such redemption to Holders of the Securities to be redeemed as hereinafter provided in this
Section 4.02. 
 Any notice of redemption to be given to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part shall be
given in the manner provided in Section 1.05 not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. 

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price (or manner of calculation if not then
known) at which Securities are to be redeemed, shall state the Section of this Indenture and the Securities authorizing redemption and that the conditions precedent to such redemption, if any, have occurred and describe the same, and shall state
that payment of the redemption price of the Securities to be redeemed, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption (except that if such redemption date is an Interest Payment Date such interest due on such
date with respect to a particular Security shall instead be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date), will be made at the office or agency to be
maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 5.02 (or, if desired by the Company, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee) upon presentation and surrender of such securities and that from and after said date fixed for
redemption any interest thereon will cease to accrue, such Securities subject to such redemption shall cease to be outstanding and the Holder(s) thereof shall have no rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the redemption price
upon such presentation and surrender. The notice shall state the CUSIP number and that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities. If less than all the
Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed shall identify such Holder’s securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only
(which part shall be an authorized denomination of the Securities of such series as set forth pursuant to Section 3.01), the notice which relates to such Securities shall state the portion of the principal amount to be redeemed, and that
on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of the same series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued (or transferred by book entry). No Security whose
denomination is the minimum denomination, as set forth pursuant to Section 3.01, of principal amount may be redeemed in part. 

If less than all of the Securities of a series are to be redeemed at any time, and the Securities of such series are Global Securities, they
will be selected for redemption in accordance 

  
 26 

 
with Applicable Procedures. If the Securities of such series are not Global Securities, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed among the Holders of the Notes (1) in
compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed or (2) if the Securities are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. 
 To the extent that the Securities of any series have different terms, the Company shall
designate the Securities to be redeemed if less than all of a series are to be redeemed (“Company Designation”). If less than all the Securities of a series having the same terms are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the
Trustee, not less than 10 days (or such lesser number of days as the Trustee shall approve) prior to the date such notice of redemption is to be sent to the Holders of the Securities, written notice of the aggregate amount of the Securities to be
redeemed. If the Securities of such series are Global Securities, they will be selected for redemption in accordance with Applicable Procedures. If the Securities of such series are not Global Securities, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as
is described in the immediately prior paragraph, the Securities of such series or portions thereof to be redeemed (“Trustee Selection”), and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company and any Paying Agent in writing of the
Securities of such series or portions thereof to be redeemed. Except in the event of a Company Designation or a Trustee Selection, notice of redemption sent as contemplated by Section 1.05 need not identify particular Securities to be
redeemed. 
 Any notice of redemption may be given by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.02 or may be given, at the
Company’s written direction, which direction together with the notice to be given is delivered to the Trustee at least 10 days (or such lesser number of days as the Trustee shall approve) prior to the date such notice is to be given, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 
  

	4.03	Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. 

 If notice of redemption shall have been
given in the manner provided in Section 4.02, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together
with interest accrued thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, and on and after such date of redemption (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities or portions thereof at the redemption price,
together with interest accrued thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption) any interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and such Securities and portions of Securities
shall be deemed not to be outstanding hereunder and shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture except for the right of the Holder(s) thereof to receive, in accordance with the next sentence, payment of the redemption price, together,
if applicable, with accrued interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities, on or after the redemption date at the Place of Payment specified in the notice of redemption,
such Securities or specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price together with interest accrued thereon, if any, to, but, excluding, the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that
unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, installments of interest that mature on Securities on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more

  
 27 

 
predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07. 

Upon presentation and surrender of any Security which is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder or transfer by book entry, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so
surrendered. 
  

	4.04	Deposit of Funds for Redemption of Securities. 

 On or prior to12:00 noon Eastern Time on
the date fixed for redemption of any Securities as hereinbefore provided in this Article IV, the Company shall deposit in trust with the Trustee or with any Paying Agent (or if and to the extent that the Company shall be acting as its
own Paying Agent, the Company shall set aside, segregate and hold in trust) funds sufficient to redeem the Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such redemption date, at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued
thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. 
  

	4.05	Applicability of Sinking Fund. 

 Redemption of Securities permitted or required pursuant
to a sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series by the terms of such series of Securities established pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be made in accordance with such terms of such series of Securities established pursuant
to Section 3.01 and this Article IV; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IV, if any such terms of a series of Securities shall conflict with any provision of this Article
IV, the terms of such series shall govern. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of
any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking
fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 4.06. 

 

	4.06	Satisfaction of Mandatory Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

 Subject to
Section 4.07, in lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option (i) deliver to the Trustee Securities of that series theretofore
purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, or (ii) receive credit for the principal amount of Securities of that series which have been previously delivered to the Trustee by the Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company
pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities; provided, that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be
received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for 

  
 28 

 
redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

 

	4.07	Redemption of Securities for Sinking Funds. 

 Not less than 10 days prior to each sinking
fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied through delivery and/or crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to Section 4.06 and whether the Company
intends to exercise its right to make a permitted optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series. Such certificate shall be irrevocable, and upon its delivery, the Company shall be obligated to make the payment, delivery, and/or crediting
therein referred to, if any, on or prior to such sinking fund payment date. In the case of the failure of the Company to deliver such certificate, the sinking fund payment due with respect to the next sinking fund payment date for that series of
Securities shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be made in an amount sufficient to redeem the principal amount of such Securities subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the option to deliver or credit Securities as provided in
Section 4.06 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series. 
 Any sinking fund
payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash, plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash, which shall equal or exceed $100,000 (or the equivalent in Foreign Currency or currency units in which Securities
of the series are payable if applicable), or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request, with respect to the Securities of any particular series, shall be applied by the Trustee, a Paying Agent or the Company, if it acts as its own Paying Agent,
on the sinking fund payment date next following the date of such payment, to the redemption of such Securities at the redemption price specified in such Securities for operation of the sinking fund together with accrued interest, if any, to the
sinking fund payment date. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee or such Paying Agent or set aside and segregated by the
Company for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.07. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Securities of any particular series held by the
Trustee, such Paying Agent or the Company on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Securities of such series and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities shall be applied by the Trustee, such Paying Agent or the
Company, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of principal of such Securities at maturity. 

Not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days prior to each sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be
redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in accordance with Section 4.02. The Company shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the sinking fund payment date in the
manner provided in Section 4.02, except that the notice of redemption shall also state that the Securities of such series are being redeemed by operation of the sinking fund and the sinking fund payment date. Such notice having been duly
given, the redemption of such Securities shall 

  
 29 

 
be made on the sinking fund payment date upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 4.03. 

Prior to each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee or to a Paying Agent in cash (or, if the Company is acting as
its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.07(b)) a sum equal to any interest accrued to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption of Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund
payment date pursuant to this Section 4.07. 
 V. PARTICULAR COVENANTS 

 

	5.01	Payments of Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest, if any. 

 The Company covenants and
agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of that series at the times and places and in the manner provided
herein and in the Securities of that series. 
  

	5.02	Office or Agency for Certain Purposes.

Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency.

 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside The City of New York) where the
Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of
its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements sat forth above. 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. 
  

	5.03	Maintenance of Corporate Existence and Payment of Taxes. 

 The Company will preserve its
corporate existence, but this covenant shall not require the Company to continue its corporate existence in the event of a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation in accordance with the provision of Article
XII hereof as a result of which the Company shall lose its corporate identity, or in the event of a sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property of the Company in accordance with the provisions of said Article XII. The
Company will punctually pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon or assessed against it which are material to it; provided, however, that nothing herein contained
shall require the Company to pay any such tax, assessment, charge or levy so long as it shall in 

  
 30 

 
good faith contest the validity or the amount of the same by appropriate legal proceedings and stay any execution thereof. 

 

	5.04	Restriction on the Creation of Secured Debt. 

 After the date hereof, the Company will
not at any time create, incur, assume or guarantee, and will not cause or permit a Restricted Subsidiary to create, incur, assume or guarantee, any Secured Debt (including the creation of Secured Debt by the securing of existing indebtedness)
without first making effective provision (and the Company covenants that in such case it will first make or cause to be made effective provision) whereby the Securities then Outstanding and any other indebtedness of or guaranteed by the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary then entitled thereto shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) any and all other obligations and indebtedness thereby secured, so long as any such other obligations and indebtedness shall be so secured;

a Restricted Subsidiary; or (5) any Security Interest on property of a corporation or firm existing at the time such corporation or firm is merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease
or other disposition of the properties of a corporation or firm as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, in each case that any such Security Interest described in clauses (2),
(3), (4) or (5) does not attach to or affect property owned by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary prior to the event referred to in such clauses; 

(B) any Security Interest to secure indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary;

 (E) Security Interests for taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies not yet delinquent or Security Interests for
taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies already delinquent but the validity of which is being contested in good faith; 
 (F)

(G) landlords’ liens on fixtures located on premises leased by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;

 (H) Security Interests arising in connection with contracts and subcontracts with or made at the request of the United States, any state

an obligation issued by the United States or any state, territory or possession of the United States or any political subdivision of any of the foregoing or the District of Columbia, in connection with the financing of the cost of construction,
acquisition or development of Principal Facility or a part thereof; 
 (J) any Security Interest arising by reason of deposits to qualify
the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to conduct business, to maintain self-insurance, or to obtain the benefit of, or comply with, laws; 

(K) the extension of any Security Interest existing as of the date of this Indenture on a Principal Facility to additions, extensions or
improvements thereto and not as a result of borrowing money or the securing of indebtedness incurred after that date; or 
 (L) any
extension, renewal or refunding (or successive extensions, renewals or refundings) in whole or in part of any Secured Debt secured by any Security Interest referred to in the foregoing subparagraphs (A) through (K), inclusive,
provided that the principal amount of such Secured Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount outstanding immediately prior to such extension, renewal or refunding, and that the Security Interest securing such Secured Debt shall be

covenants applicable to the Securities of such series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by act of such Holders, either shall waive
such compliance in such instance or generally shall have waived compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until

 VI. REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND HOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT 

 

	6.01	Events of Default. 

 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with
respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) unless such event is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate establishing the terms
of such series pursuant to Section 3.01 of this Indenture: 
 (A) default in the payment of any interest on any of the
Securities of such series when such interest becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; 
 (B)
default in the payment of any principal of or premium, if any, on, any of the Securities of such series when due (whether at maturity or otherwise and whether payable in cash or securities); 

(C) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment or payment under any analogous provision when due with respect to any of the Securities
of such series; 
 (D) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture or any Security
of such series (other than a covenant or warranty for which the consequences of breach or nonperformance are addressed elsewhere in this Section 6.01 or a covenant or warranty which has expressly been included in this Indenture, whether
or not by means of a supplemental indenture, solely for the benefit of Securities of a series other 

  
 34 

 
than such series), and continuance of such default or breach (without such default or breach having been cured or waived in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture) for a period of 90
days after the Company has received written notice, by registered or certified mail or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, delivered by the Trustee or after the Company and the Trustee have received written notice, by registered or
certified mail or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, delivered by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be
remedied and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” hereunder; 
 (E) the entry by a court having jurisdiction
in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the
Company bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, conservator,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of substantially all of the property of the Company, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Company, and the continuance of any such
decree or order for relief unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; 
 (F) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary
case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Company to the entry of a decree or order for
relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Company, or
the filing by the Company of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable law, or the consent by the Company to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian,
receiver, conservator, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or of substantially all of the property of the Company, or the making by the Company of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking
of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or 
 (G) any other Event of Default provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture with respect to Securities of such series. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, if the
principal or any premium or interest on any Security is payable in a currency other than the currency of the United States of America and such currency is not available to the Company for making payment thereof due to the imposition of exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders of the Securities by making such payment in the currency of the United States of America in an amount equal to the
currency of the United States of America equivalent of the amount payable in such other currency, as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent by reference to the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for such currency
(“Exchange Rate”), as such Exchange Rate is reported or otherwise made available by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the 

  
 35 

 
date of such payment, or, if such rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01,
any payment made under such circumstances in the currency of the United States of America where the required payment is in a currency other than the currency of the United States of America will not constitute an Event of Default under this
Indenture. 
  

	6.02	Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

 If an Event of Default (other than
an Event of Default specified in clause (E) or (F) of Section 6.01) with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the principal of all the Securities of such series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
thereon to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or such lesser amount, as the case may be, and such accrued and unpaid
interest shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (E) or (F) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Securities of any series occurs, then the principal of all of the
Securities of such series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or
other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Securities of such series. 
 At any time after Securities of any series have been
accelerated (whether by declaration of the Trustee or the Holders or automatically) and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article VI provided, the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with
any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default with respect to that series have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.07 and amounts owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 have been paid, except
nonpayment of principal (or such lesser amount) or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

The Company and the Trustee may, to the extent provided in Section 11.01, enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto
with respect to any series of the Securities which may provide for additional, different or fewer Events of Default with respect to such series of Securities. Additional, different or fewer Events of Default with respect to such series of Securities
may also be set forth pursuant to Section 3.01. 
  

	6.03	Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt. 

 The Company covenants
that (i) in case a default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period in excess of 30 days, or
(ii) in case a default shall be made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the 

  
 36 

 
Securities when and as the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee,
the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, if any, interest, if any, with interest upon the
overdue principal and premium, if any, of each such Security and (to the extent legally enforceable under applicable law) upon any installments of interest, at the rate borne by such Security; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall
be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence
or willful misconduct. 
 All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities of any series,
may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such series, or the production thereof on any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in
its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series. In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the
interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities of a series, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Securities of
such series parties to any such proceedings. 
 In case of an Event of Default hereunder with respect to Securities of a particular series,
the Trustee may, but, unless first requested so to do by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and furnished with indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against all costs,
expenses and liabilities, shall not be under any obligation to, proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of
such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceedings in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in
this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to
have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Securities allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the
Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be unpaid 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, 

  
 37 

 
money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. 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’ committee or other similar committee. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of the Holder of any Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of any Security in any such proceeding. 
  

	6.04	Application of Proceeds. 

 Any money or property collected by the Trustee with respect to
a series of Securities pursuant to Section 6.03, and after an Event of Default any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, shall be applied in the following order, at the
date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys or property: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all costs and expenses in
connection with the collection of such moneys, and all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07; and 
 SECOND: To the
payment of the entire amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such moneys shall have been collected, without any preference or priority, ratably according to the amounts due and payable upon
such Securities upon presentation of the several Securities and notation of such payment thereon, if partly paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid. 

Any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Company or to such other person as shall be entitled to receive it. 

 

	6.05	Limitations on Suits by Holders. 

 Except as set forth in Section 316(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act, no Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to
this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the
Securities of the series, and unless also the Holders of no less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its
own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of security or indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07;
it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security of such series with every other Holder of Securities of such series and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of such series shall have

  
 38 

 
any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of Securities or to
obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of such series. 

 

	6.06	Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

 All powers and remedies
given by this Article VI to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities of any series shall, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6.05, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other such powers and remedies
or of any other powers or remedies available to the Trustee or such Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the
Trustee or of any Holder of the Securities of any series to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid, shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default
or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 6.05, every power and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to such Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient,
by the Trustee or by such Holders. 
  

	6.07	Control by Holders; Waiver of Default. 

 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect
to Securities of such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture, involve the Trustee in personal liability or have been determined by the Trustee to be
unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders); provided further, that
nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by such Holders. The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to the securities of such series and its consequences, except (i) a default in the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the Securities of such series or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Section 11.02, cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. In the case of any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this
Indenture, and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any
right consequent thereon. 

  
 39 

	6.08	Undertaking for Costs. 

 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in
its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant;
provided, however, that this Section 6.08 shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee or the Company, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then
Outstanding Securities of any series. 
 VII. CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 

 

	7.01	Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 

 (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of
Default, 
 (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part,
the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case
of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (b) In case an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 
 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) this
Section 7.01(c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a); 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be
liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with a
direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.07; and 

  
 40 

 (iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01. 

(e) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers or duties hereunder. The
permissive rights or powers of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty of the Trustee. 
  

	7.02	Notice of Defaults. 

 Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with
respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series notice of such default hereunder actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such default shall have been
cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), or interest, if any, on any Security of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and
so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of
such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 6.01(D) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the
occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section 7.02, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

  

	7.03	Certain Rights of Trustee. 

 Except as otherwise provided in Section 315 of the
Trust Indenture Act: 
 (A) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting, or refraining from acting, upon any

(D) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or

	7.04	Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, Etc. 

 The recitals contained herein and in the
Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and the representation as to the power of the Trustee to enter into this Indenture and perform its duties, shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of
the Securities or of the proceeds of such Securities or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received
by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions, or agreements on the part of the Company but the Trustee may require full
information and advice as to the performance of the aforementioned covenants. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any statement in any document in connection with the sale of the Securities other than information provided by the Trustee to the
Company for incorporation or use in any such documents. 
  

	7.05	Trustee and Others May Hold Securities. 

 The Trustee or any Paying Agent or Security
Registrar or any other agent of the Company or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 
  

	7.06	Moneys Held by Trustee or Paying Agent. 

 Subject to Sections 13.04 and
13.05, all moneys received by the Trustee or any Paying Agent, need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys
received by it hereunder except such as it may agree in writing with the Company. So long as no Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest

  
 43 

 
allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time pursuant to, and upon, the written order of the Company, signed by an Authorized Officer thereof. The provisions of this
Section 7.06 shall not apply to the Company acting as its own Paying Agent pursuant to Section 5.07(b). 
  

	7.07	Compensation of Trustee and Its Lien. 

 The Company jointly and severally covenants and
agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall be agreed to from time to time by the Company and the Trustee and which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard
to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or
advance as may arise from its negligence or willful misconduct. If any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of
competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to make advances from funds collected or held in trust by the Trustee as such for the purpose of preserving
such property or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon. The Company also jointly and severally covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee or their agents for, and to hold them harmless
against, any loss, liability claim, damage or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and
expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee’s powers or duties hereunder, or in
connection with the enforcement of the provisions of this Section 7.07, except to the extent that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense is due to their own negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that the Company
need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnification. The failure of the Trustee to provide such
notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 7.07 except to the extent actually prejudiced. All indemnifications and releases from liability granted hereunder to the Trustee shall extend to its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys, custodians, successors and permitted assigns. 
 The obligations of the Company under this
Section 7.07 shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds
held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection
with an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(E) or Section 6.01(F), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses
of administration under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law. 

  
 44 

 The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Trustee and the termination of this Indenture. 
 “Trustee” for the purposes of this Section 7.07 shall include any
predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the negligence or willful misconduct of any Trustee hereunder shall
not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. 
  

	7.08	Right of Trustee to Rely on Certificate of Certain Officers. 

 Except as otherwise
provided in Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any
action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect hereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an
Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions
of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. 
  

	7.09	Persons Eligible for Appointment As Trustee. 

 There shall at all times be a Trustee
hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of
at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section 7.09, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with this Section 7.09 or the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10. Neither the Company nor any
Affiliate of the Company shall serve as Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting
interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series or any other indenture of the Company. 
  

	7.10	Resignation and Removal of Trustee; Appointment of Successor. 

 (a) The Trustee, or any
Trustee or Trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to any one or more or all series of Securities by giving thirty days prior written notice to the Company and by giving notice of such resignation to the Holders of
Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.05. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the 

  
 45 

 
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the applicable series by written instrument executed by order of the
Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to a particular series and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the sending of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least 6 months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if
any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee. 
 (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur: 

(A) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Company or by any such Holder, or 
 (B) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 

then, in any such case, the Company upon thirty days prior written notice may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities and
appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee, or any Holder who has been
a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of any such series for at least 6 months may, an behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition, any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such series. 

(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may at any time upon thirty days prior
written notice remove the Trustee with respect to that series and appoint with respect to such series a successor Trustee by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor Trustee so appointed and to the Company, the evidence provided for in
Section 9.01 of the action taken by the Holders. 
 (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.10 shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 7.11. 

 

	7.11	Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. 

 Any successor Trustee appointed under
Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the predecessor Trustee with respect to any and all applicable series an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or

  
 46 

 
removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties
and obligations with respect of such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act
shall, upon payment of any such amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.07, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts with respect to such series of the
Trustee so ceasing to act. Upon the reasonable request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights and
powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to Section 7.07. 

In the 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 predecessor Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or
desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee,
and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such
supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-Trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such
Trustee. 
 No successor Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall with respect to such series be eligible under Section 7.09. 
 Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, the Company shall give notice of the succession of such Trustee hereunder to the Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.05.
If the Company fails to give such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company. 

 

	7.12	Merger, Conversion or Consolidation of Trustee. 

 Any corporation into which the Trustee
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate
trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 7.09 hereof and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. 

  
 47 

	7.13	Authenticating Agents. 

 There may be an Authenticating Agent or Authenticating Agents
with respect to one or more series of Securities appointed by the Trustee from time to time with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in connection with the authentication and delivery of Securities of such series issued upon
exchange, transfer or redemption thereof as fully to all intents and purposes as though such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized to authenticate and deliver Securities, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits
of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as though authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. For all purposes of this Indenture (except in the case of original issuance of Securities and the issuance of Securities in
replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Securities), the authentication and delivery of Securities by an Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.13 shall be deemed to be the authentication
and delivery of such Securities “by the Trustee,” and whenever this Indenture provides (except in the case of original issuance of the Securities and the issuance of Securities in replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed
Securities) that “the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver” Securities, such authentication and delivery by any Authenticating Agent shall be deemed be authentication and delivery by the Trustee. Any such Authenticating Agent shall at
all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any State or the District of Columbia, with a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and authorized under such laws to act as an
authenticating agent, duly registered to act as such, if and to the extent required by applicable law and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of its
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.13 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13, it shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect herein specified in this Section 7.13. 
 Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of
any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of the Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation. 
 Any
Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice or resignation or upon a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 7.13, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent. Upon the appointment, at any time after the original issuance of any of the Securities, of any successor, additional or new authenticating agent, the Trustee shall
give written notice of such appointment 

  
 48 

 
to the Company and shall at the expense of the Company give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the
manner provided in Section 1.05. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.13 shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of
its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if initially appointed as an Authenticating Agent. No successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13.

 Any Authenticating Agent by the acceptance of its appointment shall be deemed to have represented to the Trustee that it is eligible for
appointment as Authenticating Agent under this Section 7.13 and to have agreed with the Trustee that: 
 (A) it will perform and
carry out the duties of an Authenticating Agent as herein set forth, including, among other things, the duties to authenticate and deliver Securities when presented to it in connection with exchanges, registrations of transfer or redemptions
thereof; 
 (B) it will keep and maintain, and furnish to the Trustee from time to time as requested by the Trustee, appropriate records of
all transactions carried out by it as Authenticating Agent and will furnish the Trustee such other information and reports as the Trustee may reasonably require; and 

(C) it will notify the Trustee promptly if it shall cease to be eligible to act as Authenticating Agent in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 7.13. 
 Any Authenticating Agent, by the acceptance of its appointment, shall be deemed to have agreed with the
Trustee to indemnify the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee and to defend any claim asserted against the Trustee by reason of any acts or failures to act of such Authenticating Agent, but such Authenticating Agent
shall have no liability for any action taken by it in accordance with the specific written direction of the Trustee. 
 The Trustee agrees
to pay to each Authenticated Agent from time to time reasonable compensation and expenses for its services (to the extent such compensation is not paid by the Company), and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments subject to
the provisions of Section 7.07. 
 The provisions of Sections 7.04, 7.05 and 7.08 shall inure to the
benefit of each Authenticating Agent to the same extent that they inure to the benefit of the Trustee. 
 If an appointment with respect to
one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 7.13, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in
substantially the following form: 
 This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein issued under the within-mentioned
Indenture.

 If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Securities of any series any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Securities entitled to give such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the discretion of the Company. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other act may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of Securities of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be the Holders of Securities for the purpose of
determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Securities of such series outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, and for that purpose the
Securities of such series outstanding shall be computed as of such record date. 
 Whenever any act is to be taken hereunder by the Holders
of two or more series of Securities denominated in different currencies or currency units, then, for the purpose of determining the principal amount of Securities held by such Holders, the aggregate principal amount of the Securities denominated in
a Foreign Currency (or any currency units) shall be deemed to be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such principal amount on the basis of the spot rate of exchange for such Foreign Currency or such currency unit as determined by the
Company or by an authorized Exchange Rate Agent and evidenced to the Trustee by an Officers’ Certificate, as of the date the taking of such act by the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the Securities is evidenced to the
Trustee. An “Exchange Rate Agent” may be appointed in advance or from time to time by the Company. Any such determination by the Company or by any such Exchange Rate Agent shall be conclusive and binding on all Holders, the Company
and the Trustee, and neither the Company nor any such Exchange Rate Agent shall be liable therefor in the absence of bad faith. 
 The
Trustee may require such additional proof, if any, of any matter referred to in this Section 9.02 as it shall deem necessary. 

The record of any Holders meeting shall be proved as provided in Section 10.06. 

 

	9.03	Right of Revocation of Action Taken. 

 At any time prior to (but not after) the
evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 9.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities or of any series of Securities specified in this Indenture in connection
with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown, by evidence, to be included in the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its principal office
and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 9.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and
upon all future holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security or any Security issued in exchange
therefor or in place thereof. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this 

  
 53 

 
Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities. 

X. HOLDERS’ MEETINGS 
  

	10.01	Purposes for Which Holders’ Meetings May be Called. 

 A meeting of Holders may be
called at any time and from time to time pursuant to this Article X for any of the following purposes: 
 (A) to give any notice to
the Company or to the Trustee, or to give any directions to the Trustee, or to waive or to consent to the waiving of any default hereunder and its consequences, or to take any other action authorized to be taken by Holders pursuant to Article
VI; 
 (B) to remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee pursuant to Article VII; 

(C) to consent to the execution of an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto pursuant to Section 11.02; or 

(D) to take any other action authorized to be taken by or on behalf of the Holders of any specified aggregate principal amount of the
Securities under any other provision of this Indenture or under applicable law. 
  

	10.02	Call of Meetings by Trustee. 

 The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of
any series to be held at such time and at such place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Trustee shall determine or, with the approval of the Company, at any other place. Notice of every meeting of Holders, setting forth the
time and the place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given by the Trustee, in the manner provided in Section 1.05, not less than 20 nor more than 180 days prior to the date
fixed for the meeting, to the Holders of Securities of such series. 
  

	10.03	Company and Holders May Call Meeting. 

 In case the Company, pursuant to a resolution of
its Board of Directors, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of Holders of such series, by written request setting forth in
general terms the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have given the notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request, then the Company or the Holders of such Securities in the amount above
specified may determine the time and the place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (or, with the approval of the Company, such other place), for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action authorized in
Section 10.01, by giving notice thereof as provided in Section 10.02. 

  
 54 

	10.04	Persons Entitled to Vote at Meeting. 

 To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders,
a Person shall be (i) the Holder of one or more Securities with respect to which such meeting is being held or (ii) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for the Holder or Holders of such Securities by a Holder of one or
more such Securities. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Holders shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any
representatives of the Company and its counsel. 
  

	10.05	Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meeting. 

 Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for a meeting of Holders, in regard to proof of the holding of Securities and of the appointment of proxies, and in regard to the
appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think fit. Such regulations may
provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 9.02 or other proof. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations,
the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 9.02 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in said Section 9.02 or by having the signature of the person
executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any bank, banker, trust company or firm satisfactory to the Trustee. 
 The Trustee shall, by
an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 10.03, in which case the Company or the Holders calling the meeting, as
the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting
and entitled to vote. 
 Each Holder of a Security of the applicable series or related proxy shall be entitled to vote with respect to the
Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be
not Outstanding. 
 The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of Securities of such series held by him or
instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating him as the person to vote on behalf of other Holders of such series. Any meeting of Holders duly called pursuant to Section 10.02 or 10.03 may be adjourned from time to time,
and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice. 
 At any meeting, the presence of persons holding or representing
Securities with respect to which such meeting is being held in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to take action upon the business for the transaction of which such meeting was called shall be necessary to constitute a quorum; but, if less
than a quorum be present, the persons holding or representing a majority of 

  
 55 

 
the Securities represented at the meeting may adjourn such meeting with the same effect, for all intents and purposes, as though a quorum had been present. 

 

	10.06	Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meeting. 

 The vote upon any resolution submitted
to any meeting of Holders of a series of Securities shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the serial numbers and principal amounts
of the Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with
the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting, and there shall be
attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said
notice was given as provided in Section 10.02 or 10.03. The record shall show the serial numbers of the securities voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the
permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting, and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. 

Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated. 

XI. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 
  

	11.01	Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders. 

 The Company, when authorized by a
Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall, but only to the extent applicable, conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as it shall be in
force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture or indentures) for one or more of the following purposes: 
 (A) to convey,
transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities any property or assets which the Company may desire or to comply with Section 5.04; 

(B) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor
corporation of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company, pursuant to Article XII; 
 (C) to add to the covenants and
agreements of the Company such further covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions for the protection of the Holders of the Securities of all or any series as its Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of
the Holders of Securities of such series (and if such covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, specifying the series to which such covenants, agreements, restrictions or
conditions are applicable), and to make the occurrence, or 

  
 56 

 
the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions a default or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of
the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, however, that, in respect of any such additional covenant, agreement, restriction or condition, such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace
after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such default or may limit the
right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series to waive such default; 
 (D) to
add, delete or modify any Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the Securities, the form and terms of which are being established pursuant to such supplemental indenture as permitted in Sections 2.01, 3.01 and
3.03 (and, if any such Event of Default is applicable to fewer than all such series of the Securities, specifying the series to which such Event of Default is applicable) and to specify the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders
of such Securities in connection therewith; 
 (E) to prohibit the authentication and delivery of additional series of Securities; 

(F) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or in any supplemental indenture; 
 (G) to make such other provisions in regard to
matters or questions arising under this Indenture as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture and shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Securities in any material respect;

 (H) to establish the form and terms of the Securities of any series as permitted in Sections 2.01, 3.01 and 3.03, or
to authorize the issuance of additional Securities of a series previously authorized or to add to the conditions, limitations or restrictions on the authorized amount, terms or purposes of issue, authentication or delivery of the Securities of any
series, as herein set forth, or other conditions, limitations or restrictions thereafter to be observed; and 
 (I) to evidence and provide
for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series or to 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, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.11. 
 Upon request
of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution, the Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein
contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage, or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. In addition, the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any supplemental indenture which provides for the 

  
 57 

 
issuance of Securities of any series denominated in a Foreign Currency or currency unit, if the Trustee determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not be able to properly fulfill its
obligations hereunder and thereunder in respect of such Securities or to do so would be unduly burdensome to the Trustee. 
 Any
supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 11.01 shall be executed by the Company and the Trustee and shall not require the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding
Section 11.02. 
  

	11.02	Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. 

 With the consent (evidenced as
provided in Section 9.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series affected by such supplemental indenture, the Company, when authorized by or pursuant to a
resolution of its Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall, but only to the extent applicable, conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act as shall be in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture or indentures) for the purpose, with respect to Securities of such series, of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture with respect to Securities of such series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without
the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected: 
 (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or premium, if any, or any
installment of interest, if any, on any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the premium, if any, thereon or the rate (or modify the calculation of such rate) of interest thereon, or reduce the amount payable upon redemption thereof
at the option of the Company or repayment thereof at the option of the Holder, or reduce the amount of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof
pursuant to Section 6.02 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 6.03, or adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of any Holder with respect to any Security, or change the Place of
Payment where or the currency in which the principal of, any premium or interest on, any Security is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the redemption date or, in the case of repayment at the option of the Holder, on or after the date for repayment) in each case as such Stated Maturity, redemption date or date for repayment may, if applicable, be extended in
accordance with the terms of such Security, or, in the case of any Security which is convertible into or exchangeable for other securities, impair the right to institute suit to enforce the right to convert or exchange such Security in accordance
with its terms; 
 (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series required to consent to any such
supplemental indenture or waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in Section 5.05 or Section 6.07 of this Indenture; 

  
 58 

 (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section 11.02 or Section 5.05 or
Section 6.07, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; or 

(4) make any change that adversely affects the right, if any, to convert or exchange any Security for common stock or other securities in
accordance with its terms. 
 Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of the Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of
any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture
affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture. 

A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any provision of this Indenture or of any series of Securities which has expressly been
included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such provisions, 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 11.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. 

Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture under this Section 11.02, the Company
shall give notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.05. Any failure of the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. 
  

	11.03	Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 

 Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture
of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of Securities shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental
indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 
  

	11.04	Notation on Securities in Respect of Supplemental Indentures. 

 Securities authenticated
and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI or after any action taken at a Holders meeting pursuant to the provisions of Article X may, and if required by the Trustee
shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture or 

  
 59 

 
as to any such action. If the Company and the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Company and the Trustee, to any
modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of such series then outstanding. 

 

	11.05	Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate to Be Given to Trustee. 

 The Trustee,
subject to Section 7.03 and, to the extent applicable, Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, shall receive an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence that any such supplemental indenture is
authorized by the terms of this Indenture and that is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article XI to join in the execution thereof. 

XII. CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALE 
  

	12.01	Company May Consolidate or Merge, Etc. 

 Subject to the provisions of
Section 12.02, nothing contained in this Indenture shall prevent any consolidation of the Company with or the merger of the Company into any other Person, or any merger of any other Person into the Company or successive consolidations or
mergers to which the Company or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to any other Person lawfully entitled to
acquire the same. 
  

	12.02	Conditions to Consolidation or Merger, Etc. 

 (A) The Company shall not consolidate with
or merge into any other Person or sell, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to another Person unless (i) in the case of a merger, the Company shall be the continuing Person, or (ii) in case the Company
shall consolidate with or merge into another Person (and the Company shall not be the continuing Person) or sell, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to another Person, the Person formed by such consolidation or
into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by sale or transfer, or which leases, all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company shall assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto executed and delivered to the
Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities, and the Company’s other obligations under this Indenture; 

(B) Every such successor Person, upon executing such indenture supplemental hereto, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, shall
succeed to (and, except in the case of a lease, be substituted for) the Company, as the case may be, with the same effect as if it had been an original party hereto (which succession shall, except in the case of a lease, relieve the Company of all
liabilities hereunder), and such successor Person shall possess and from time to time may exercise each and every power hereunder of the Company and may execute and deliver Securities hereunder, either in the name of the Company or of such successor
Person, and any act or proceeding required by this Indenture to be done or performed by any board or officer of the 

  
 60 

 
Company may be done or performed with like force and effect by the like board or officer of such successor Person. 
  

	12.03	Documents and Opinion to Be Furnished to the Trustee. 

 The Company covenants and agrees
that if it shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person or if it shall sell, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets, it will promptly furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that its covenants contained in Section 12.02 have been complied with. 
 XIII. SATISFACTION AND
DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; 
 DEFEASANCE; UNCLAIMED MONEYS 
  

	13.01	Satisfaction and Discharge. 

 Unless pursuant to Section 3.01 this
Section 13.01 is declared not applicable with respect to the Securities of any series, upon the direction of the Company by a written order, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities
specified in such written order, and the Trustee, on receipt of such written order, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when 

(A) either 
 (i)
all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (1) Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and
(2) Securities of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in
Section 13.05) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (ii) all Securities of such series not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 
 (1) have become due and payable, 

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

(3) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, 
 and
the Company, in the case of (1), (2) or (3) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose, money in the currency in which such Securities are payable or Government

  
 61 

 
Obligations (determined on the basis of the currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity) in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including the principal of, any premium and interest on such Securities, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and
payable) or to the maturity thereof, as the case may be; 
 (B) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder
by the Company with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series; and 
 (C) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with. 

In the event there are Securities of two or more series Outstanding hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to Securities of such series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities, the obligations of the Company to
the Trustee under Section 7.07 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of clause (A) of this Section 13.01, the obligations of the Company and the Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 5.02, 5.07, 13.03 and 13.06, any rights of Holders of the Securities of such series (unless otherwise provided pursuant to
Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of such series) to require the Company to repurchase or repay, and the obligations of the Company to repurchase or repay, such Securities at the option of the Holders pursuant to
Section 3.01 hereof, and any rights of Holders of the Securities of such series (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of such series) to convert or exchange, and the obligation of
the Company to convert or exchange, such Securities into common stock or other securities, shall survive; provided, however, that following the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities whose Holders have
the right to require the Company to repurchase or repay such Securities or to convert or exchange such Securities into common stock or other securities, the right of the Holder to require repurchase, repayment, conversion or exchange, as the case
may be, of any such Security and the Company’s obligation to repurchase, repay, convert or exchange, as the case may be, any such Security shall (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of
such series) terminate immediately following the close of business on the final Stated Maturity of such Security or immediately following the close of business on any earlier redemption date of such Security (so long as the Company does not default
in the payment of the redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, due on such redemption date), as the case may be. 

  
 62 

	13.02	Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. 

 (a) Unless pursuant to Section 3.01,
either or both of (i) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under clause (b) of this Section 13.02 or (ii) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under clause (c) of
this Section 13.02 shall not be applicable with respect to the Securities of such series, then such provisions, together with the other provisions of this Section 13.02 (with such modifications thereto as may be specified
pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Securities of or within such series, elect to have
Section 13.02(b) or Section 13.02(c) be applied to such Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Section 13.02. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of any series, defeasance under clause (b) of this Section 13.02 and covenant defeasance under clause (c) of this Section 13.02 may be effected
only with respect to all, and not less than all, of the Outstanding Securities of any series. To the extent that the terms of any Security established in or pursuant to this Indenture permit the Company or any Holder thereof to extend the date on
which any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on with respect to such Security is due and payable, then unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01, the right to extend such date shall terminate upon
defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be. 
 (b) Upon the Company’s exercise of the option applicable to this
Section 13.02(b) with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities, on the date the conditions set forth in
clause (d) of this Section 13.02 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
represented by such Outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of clause (e) of this Section 13.02 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to
in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities to receive, solely
(except as provided in clause (ii) below) from the trust fund described in clause (d)(A) of this Section 13.02 and as more fully set forth in this Section 13.02 and Section 13.03, payments in
respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due, (ii) the obligations of the Company and the Trustee with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.05, 3.06,
5.02 and 5.07, with respect to any rights of Holders of such Securities (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of such series) to require the Company to repurchase or repay, and
the obligations of the Company to repurchase or repay, such Securities at the option of the Holders pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, and with respect to any rights of Holders of such Securities (unless otherwise provided pursuant to
Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of such series) to convert or exchange, and the obligations of the Company to convert or exchange, such Securities into common stock or other securities, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts,
duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this Section 13.02 and Sections 13.03 and 13.06; provided, however, that following defeasance with respect to any series of Securities whose Holders have the
right to require the Company to repurchase or repay 

  
 63 

 
such Securities or to convert or exchange such Securities into common stock or other securities, the right of the Holder to require repurchase, repayment, conversion or exchange, as the case may
be, of any such Security and the Company’s obligation to repurchase, repay, convert or exchange, as the case may be, any such Security shall (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of such
series) terminate immediately following the close of business on the final Stated Maturity of such Security or immediately following the close of business on any earlier redemption date of such Security (so long as the Company does not default in
the payment of the redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, due on such redemption date), as the case may be. 
 (c) Upon
the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 13.02(c) with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be released from its obligations under Sections 5.03 and 5.04 and,
to the extent specified pursuant to Section 3.01, any other covenant applicable to such Securities with respect to such Securities shall cease to be applicable to such Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in
clause (c) of this Section 13.02 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver,
consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with any such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance
means that with respect to such Outstanding Securities, the Company may omit to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or any such other covenant, whether directly or
indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to
comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under Sections 6.01(D) or 6.01(G), as the case may be. 
 (d) The
following shall be the conditions to application of clause (b) or (c) of this Section 13.02 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series: 

(A) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of
Section 7.09 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Section 13.02 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated
solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (i) an amount in Dollars or in such Foreign Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity or, if such defeasance or covenant defeasance is to be
effected in compliance with subsection (F) below, on the relevant redemption date, as the case may be, (ii) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities (determined on the basis of the currency in which such Securities are
then specified as payable at Stated Maturity or, if such defeasance or covenant defeasance is to be effected in compliance with subsection (F) below, on the relevant redemption date, as the case may be) which through the scheduled
payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities, money in an
amount, or (iii) a combination thereof, in any case, sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, 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 

  
 64 

 
discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (y) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Stated
Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest or the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and (z) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities on the day on
which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities. 
 (B) Such defeasance or
covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

 (C) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such
Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit, and, solely in the case of defeasance under Section 13.02(b), no Event of Default with respect to such Securities under clause (E) or
(F) of Section 6.01 or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities under clause (E) or (F) of Section 6.01 shall have
occurred and be continuing at any time during the period ending on and including the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition to defeasance under Section 13.02(b) shall not be deemed satisfied
until the expiration of such period). 
 (D) In the case of defeasance pursuant to Section 13.02(b), the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has been a
change in applicable United States Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of independent counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or
loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance
had not occurred; or, in the case of covenant defeasance pursuant to Section 13.02(c), the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will
not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would
have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred. 
 (E) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, under this Indenture have been complied with. 

(F) If the monies or Government Obligations or combination thereof, as the case may be, deposited under clause (A) above are
sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on and, to the extent provided in such clause (A) with respect to a particular redemption date, the Company shall have given the Trustee irrevocable
instructions to redeem such Securities on such date and to provide notice of such redemption to Holders as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture. 

  
 65 

 (G) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 13.02(d), such defeasance or
covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.01. 

(e) Subject to Section 13.05, all money and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to
Section 3.01) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 13.02(e) and Section 13.03, the “Trustee”)
pursuant to clause (d)(A) of Section 13.02 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (other than the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Securities, if, after a deposit referred to in
Section 13.02(d)(A) has been made, (i) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 3.01 or the terms of such Security to receive payment in a
currency other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 13.02(d)(A) has been made in respect of such Security, or (ii) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the Foreign Currency in which the deposit pursuant to
Section 13.02(d)(A) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest, if
any, on, with respect to, such Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security into
the Currency in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based on (x) in the case of payments made pursuant to clause (i) above, the applicable market exchange rate for such currency in
effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date, or (y) with respect to a Conversion Event, the applicable market exchange rate for such Foreign currency in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event. 

The Company shall pay and the Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge, imposed on or assessed against the
Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Section 13.02 or the principal or 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 such Outstanding
Securities. 
 Anything in this Section 13.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company
from time to time upon written order any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in clause (d)(A) of this Section 13.02 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as
applicable, in accordance with this Section 13.02. 

  
 66 

	13.03	Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment of Securities. 

 All money
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 13.01 and 13.02, or received by the Trustee in respect of obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 13.01, or 13.02, shall be held in trust until such
time as such money is to be applied by it to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders of the particular Securities, for the payment of which such moneys have been
deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for the principal thereof, premium, if any, and interest, if any, thereon. Moneys held under this Section 13.03 need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law, and the Trustee shall be under no liability with respect to interest on any such moneys. 
  

	13.04	Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent. 

 In connection with the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent, other than the Trustee, under this Indenture shall, upon and in accordance with demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such moneys. 
  

	13.05	Return of Unclaimed Moneys. 

 Any moneys deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent
not applied but remaining unclaimed by the Holders of Securities for two years after the date upon which the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Securities shall have become due and payable shall be repaid to the Company by
the Trustee or such agent on written demand; and the Holder of any of the Securities entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter look only to the Company for the payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or any Paying Agent with
respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once a week for two consecutive weeks (in each
case on any day of the week) in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan The City of New York, and once in an authorized newspaper in London, notice that said moneys have not been so applied and that after a date named therein, which
shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of said moneys then remaining will be returned to the Company. 
  

	13.06	Reinstatement. 

 If the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee appointed pursuant to
Section 13.02(d)(A)) or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any moneys or Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.01 or Section 13.02(d)(A) to pay any principal of or premium, if any, or interest,
if any, on, with respect to the Securities of any series by reason of any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s
obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no such deposit had occurred, until such time as the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such
moneys and Government Obligations to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of such series as contemplated by Section 13.01 or Section

  
 67 

 
13.02 as the case may be, and Section 13.03; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, in
respect of the Securities of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations as aforesaid, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such payment from the funds held by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) or
Paying Agent. 
 XIV. IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, STOCKHOLDERS, 

OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS 
  

	14.01	Personal Immunity from Liability of Incorporators, Stockholders, Etc. 

 No recourse under
or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, or of any Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator or against any past,
present or future stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by
the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability and any and all such claims being hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and issue of the
Securities. 
 XV. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION 
  

	15.01	Agent for Service: Submission to Jurisdiction. 

 By the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably designated and appointed CT Corporation System, 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011, as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit or proceeding

including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be reasonably necessary to continue such designation and appointment of CT Corporation System in full force and effect so long as this Indenture shall be in
full force and effect. 
 The Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any such court or any appellate court with respect thereto. The Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action, suit or proceeding in any such court. 

  
 68 

	15.02	Waiver of Immunities. 

 To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any
immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Company hereby
irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of their obligations under this Indenture and the Securities, to the extent permitted by law.
