Change in Control Agreement between Northwest Pipe Company and Scott Montross

 Exhibit 10.1 
 Change in Control Agreement 
 July 6, 2011 

Northwest Pipe Company 
 5721 SE Columbia Way
Suite 200 
 Vancouver WA 98661 
 (360)
397-6250 
 Northwest Pipe Company, an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), considers the establishment and maintenance
of a sound and vital management to be essential to protecting and enhancing the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. In this connection, the Company recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility
of a Change in Control may exist and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its
shareholders. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s
management to their assigned duties without distraction in circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control of the Company. 
 In order to induce you to remain in the employ of the Company, this letter agreement, which has been approved by the Board, sets forth the severance benefits which the Company agrees will be provided to
you in the event your employment with the Company is terminated subsequent to a “Change in Control” of the Company under the circumstances described below. 
 1. Right to Terminate. The Company or you may terminate your employment at any time, subject to the Company’s obligations to provide the benefits hereinafter specified in accordance with the
terms hereof. 
 2. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue in effect
until July 19, 2012; provided, however, that commencing on July 19, 2012 and each July 19 thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one additional year unless at least 90 days prior to such
July 19, 2012 date, the Company or you shall have given notice that this Agreement shall not be extended; provided, however, that this Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of twenty-four (24) months beyond the term provided
herein if a Change in Control, as defined in Section 3 hereto shall have occurred during such term. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2 to the contrary, this Agreement shall terminate if you or the Company terminate your employment
prior to a Change in Control as defined in Section 3 hereof. 
 3. Change in Control; Person. 

3.1 For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: 

3.1.1 The approval by the shareholders of the Company of: 
 (a) any consolidation, merger or plan of share exchange involving the Company (a “Merger”) in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of
Common Stock of the Company (“Company Shares”) would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a Merger involving Company Shares in which the holders of Company Shares immediately prior to the Merger have the same
proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the Merger, 
 (b) any sale, lease,
exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, the assets of the Company; or 
 (c) the adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
 3.1.2 At any time during a period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board (“Incumbent Directors”) shall cease for any reason to constitute
at least a majority thereof unless each new director elected during such two-year period was nominated or elected by two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors then in office and voting (with new directors nominated or elected by two-thirds of the
Incumbent Directors also being deemed to be Incumbent Directors); or 

 3.1.3 Any Person (as hereinafter defined) shall, as a result of a tender or exchange offer,
open market purchases, or privately negotiated purchases from anyone other than the Company, have become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Company ordinarily having the right to vote for the election of directors (“Voting Securities”) representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding Voting Securities. 

Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, unless otherwise determined by the Board, no Change in Control shall be deemed
to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement if (1) you acquire (other than on the same basis as all other holders of the Company Shares) an equity interest in an entity that acquires the Company in a Change in Control otherwise described
under subparagraph 3.1.1 above, or (2) you are part of a group that constitutes a Person which becomes a beneficial owner of Voting Securities in a transaction that otherwise would have resulted in a Change in Control under subparagraph 3.1.3
above. 
 3.2 For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Person” shall mean and include any individual, corporation,
partnership, group, association or other “person,” as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), other than the Company or any employee benefit
plan(s) sponsored by the Company. 
 4. Termination Following Change In Control. If a Change in Control shall have
occurred, you shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Section 5.3 hereof upon the termination of your employment within twenty-four (24) months after such Change in Control unless such termination is (a) because of your death,
(b) by the Company for Cause or Disability or (c) by you other than for Good Reason (as all such capitalized terms are hereinafter defined). 
 4.1 Disability. Termination by the Company of your employment based on “Disability” shall mean termination because of your absence from your duties with the Company on a full-time basis
for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days as a result of your incapacity due to physical or mental illness, unless within thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination (as hereinafter defined) is given to you following such absence you
shall have returned to the full-time performance of your duties. 
 4.2 Cause. Termination by the Company of your
employment for “Cause” shall mean termination upon (a) the willful and continued failure by you to substantially perform your reasonably assigned duties with the Company consistent with those duties assigned to you prior to the Change
in Control (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which failure shall not have been corrected within thirty (30) days after a demand for substantial performance is delivered to you by the
Chairman of the Board or President of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which such executive believes that you have not substantially performed your duties, or (b) the willful engaging by you in illegal conduct which is
materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. For purposes of this paragraph 4.2, no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you in knowing bad faith and without
reasonable belief that your action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of
counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by you in good faith and in the best interests of the corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause
unless and until there shall have been delivered to you a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose (after
reasonable notice to you and an opportunity for you, together with your counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board you were guilty of the conduct set forth above in (a) or (b) of this
paragraph 4.2 and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. 
 4.3 Good Reason. Termination by you of your
employment for “Good Reason” shall mean termination based on: 
 4.3.1 a change in your status, title, position(s) or
responsibilities as an officer of the Company which, in your judgment (which shall be exercised in good faith), constitutes an adverse change from your status, title, position(s) and responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to the Change in
Control, or the assignment to you of any duties or responsibilities which, in your judgment (which shall be exercised in good faith), are inconsistent with such status, title or position(s), or any removal of you from or any failure to reappoint or
reelect you to such position(s), except in connection with the termination of your employment for Cause, Disability or as a result of your death or by you other than for Good Reason; 

4.3.2 a reduction by the Company in your base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; 

4.3.3 the failure by the Company to continue in effect any Plan (as hereinafter defined) in which you are participating at the time of
the Change in Control (or Plans providing you with at least substantially similar benefits) other than as a result of the normal expiration of any such Plan in accordance with its terms as in effect at the time of the Change in Control, or the
taking of any action, or the failure to act, by the Company which would adversely affect your continued participation in any of such Plans on at least as favorable a basis to you as is the case on the date of the Change in Control or which would
materially reduce your benefits in the future under any of such Plans or deprive you of any material benefit enjoyed by you at the time of the Change in Control; 

 4.3.4 the failure by the Company to provide and credit you with the number of paid vacation
days to which you are then entitled in accordance with the Company’s normal vacation policy as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; 
 4.3.5 the Company’s requiring you to be based anywhere other than within ten (10) miles of where your office is located immediately prior to the Change in Control except for required travel on
the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the business travel obligations which you undertook on behalf of the Company prior to the Change in Control; 

4.3.6 the failure by the Company to obtain from any Successor (as hereinafter defined) the assumption or assent to this Agreement
contemplated by Section 6 hereof within thirty (30) days after a Change in Control; or 
 4.3.7 any purported
termination by the Company of your employment which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of paragraph 4.4 below (and, if applicable, paragraph 4.2 above); and for purposes of this Agreement no such
purported termination shall be effective. 
 For purpose of this Agreement, “Plan” shall mean any compensation plan
such as an incentive, stock option or restricted stock plan or any employee benefit plan such as a thrift, pension, profit sharing, medical, disability, accident, life insurance, or relocation plan or policy or any other plan, program or policy of
the Company intended to benefit employees. 
 4.4 Notice of Termination. Any purported termination by the Company or by
you following a Change in Control shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of your employment under the provision so indicated. 

4.5 Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean (a) if your employment is to be terminated for
Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that you shall not have returned to the performance of your duties on a full-time basis during such thirty (30) day period), (b) if your employment is to be
terminated by the Company for Cause, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given, and (c) if your employment is to be terminated by you or by the Company for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which shall
be a date no earlier than ninety (90) days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given, unless an earlier date has been agreed to by the party receiving the Notice of Termination either in advance of, or after, receiving such
Notice of Termination. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, if the party receiving the Notice of Termination has not previously agreed to the termination, then within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination is
given, the party receiving such Notice of Termination may notify the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, in which event the Date of Termination shall be the date set either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by
the arbitrators in a proceeding as provided in Section 12 hereof. 
 5. Compensation Upon Termination or During
Disability. 
 5.1 During any period following a Change in Control that you fail to perform your duties as a result of
incapacity due to physical or mental illness, you shall continue to receive your full base salary at the rate then in effect and any benefits or awards under any Plans shall continue to accrue during such period, to the extent not inconsistent with
such Plans, until your employment is terminated pursuant to and in accordance with paragraphs 4.1, 4.4 and 4.5 hereof. Thereafter, your benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Plans then in effect. 

5.2 If your employment shall be terminated for Cause or as a result of your death following a Change in Control of the Company, the
Company shall pay you your full base salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect just prior to the time a Notice of Termination is given plus any benefits or awards (including both the cash and stock components) which pursuant to
the terms of any Plans have been earned or become payable, but which have not yet been paid to you. Thereupon the Company shall have no further obligations to you under this Agreement. 

 5.3 If within twenty-four (24) months after a Change in Control shall have occurred, as
defined in Section 3 above, your employment by the Company shall be terminated (a) by the Company other than for Cause or Disability or (b) by you for Good Reason, then, by no later than the fifth day following the Date of Termination
(except as otherwise provided), you shall be entitled to, and shall be paid, without regard to any contrary provisions of any Plan, a severance benefit (the “Severance Benefit”) equal to either (x) the Specified Benefits (as defined
in subsection 5.3.1 below), or (y) the Capped Benefit (as defined in subsection 5.3.2 below). You shall be entitled, in your sole discretion, to elect to receive either the Specified Benefits or the Capped Benefit. 

5.3.1 The “Specified Benefits” are as follows: 
 (a) the Company shall pay your full base salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect just prior to the time a Notice of Termination is given plus any benefits or awards (including both
cash and stock components) which pursuant to the terms of any Plans have been earned or become payable, but which have not yet been paid to you (including amounts which previously had been deferred at your request); 

(b) as severance pay and in lieu of any further salary for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay to you
in a single payment an amount in cash equal to (i) an amount equal to two (2) times the higher of (A) your annual base salary at the rate in effect just prior to the time a Notice of Termination is given, or (B) your annual base
salary in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control of the Company, plus (ii) an amount equal to two (2) times the average of the cash bonuses paid to you during the previous three years; 

(c) for a twenty-four (24) month period after the Date of Termination, the Company shall arrange to provide you and your dependents
with life, accident, medical and dental insurance benefits substantially similar to those which you were receiving immediately prior to the Change in Control of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not provide any benefit
otherwise receivable by you pursuant to this paragraph 5.3.1(c) to the extent that a similar benefit is actually received by you from a subsequent employer during such twenty-four (24) month period, and any such benefit actually received by you
shall be reported to the Company; 
 (d) any and all outstanding options to purchase stock of the Company (or any Successor)
held by you shall immediately vest and become exercisable in full; and 
 (e) the Company shall pay you for any vacation time
earned but not taken at the Date of Termination, at an hourly rate equal to your annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the time a Notice of Termination is given divided by 2080. 

5.3.2 The “Capped Benefit” equals the Specified Benefits, reduced by the minimum amount necessary to prevent any portion of
the Specified Benefits from being a “parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), or any successor provision. The amount of the Capped Benefit shall therefore
equal (1) three times the “base amount” as defined in IRC, Section 280G(b)(3)(A) reduced by $1 (One Dollar), and further reduced by (2) the present value of all other payments and benefits you are entitled to receive
from the Company that are contingent upon a Change in Control of the Company within the meaning of IRC Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i), including accelerated vesting of options and other awards under the Company’s stock option plans, and
increased by (3) all Specified Benefits that are not contingent upon a Change in Control within the meaning of IRC Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i). If you receive the Capped Benefit, you may determine the extent to which each of the Specified
Benefits shall be reduced. The parties recognize that there is some uncertainty regarding the computations under IRC Section 280G which must be applied to determine the Capped Benefit. Accordingly, the parties agree that, after the Severance
Benefit is paid, the amount of the Capped Benefit may be retroactively adjusted to the extent any subsequent Internal Revenue Service regulations, rulings, audits or other pronouncements establish that the original calculation of the Capped Benefit
was incorrect. In that case, amounts shall be paid or reimbursed between the parties so that you will have received the Severance Benefit you would have received if the Capped Benefit had originally been calculated correctly. 

5.4 Except as specifically provided above, the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 5 shall not be reduced, offset or
subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by you as the result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise. Your entitlements under Section 5.3 are in addition to, and not in lieu
of any rights, benefits or entitlements you may have under the terms or provisions of any Plan. 
 6. Successors; Binding
Agreement. 
 6.1 The Company will seek to have any Successor (as hereinafter defined), by agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to you, assume the Company’s obligations under this Agreement or assent to the fulfillment by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption or assent prior to or at the time a
Person becomes a Successor shall constitute Good Reason for termination by you of your employment and, if a Change in Control of the Company has occurred, shall entitle you immediately to the benefits provided in Section 5.3 hereof upon
delivery by you of a Notice of Termination which the Company, by executing this Agreement, hereby assents to. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any Successor (and such Successor shall thereafter be
deemed the “Company” for purposes of this Agreement), but will not otherwise be assignable, transferable or delegable by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Successor” shall mean any Person that succeeds to, or has the
practical ability to control (either immediately or with the passage of time), the Company’s business directly, by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets, or indirectly, by purchase of the Company’s Voting Securities or otherwise.

 6.2 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by your personal or
legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If you should die while any amount would still be payable to you hereunder if you had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise
provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to your devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to your estate. 
 7. Fees and Expenses. The Company shall pay all legal fees and related legal expenses incurred by you as a result of (i) your termination following a Change in Control of the Company
(including all such fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or disputing any such termination) or (ii) your seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement. 

8. Survival. The respective obligations of, and benefits afforded to, the Company and you as provided in Section 5, 6, 7 and
12 of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 9. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement,
notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed to
the address of the respective party set forth on the first page of this Agreement, provided that all notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Chairman of the Board or President of the Company, with a copy to the Secretary of
the Company, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing. In accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt. 

10. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such modification, waiver or
discharge is agreed to in a writing signed by you and the Chairman of the Board or President of the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision
of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied,
with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Oregon. 
 11. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 12.
Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Portland, Oregon by three arbitrators in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators’ award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that you shall be entitled to seek specific performance of your right to be paid until the Date of Termination
during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement. The Company shall bear all costs and expenses arising in connection with any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 12. 

13. Related Agreements. To the extent that any provision of any other agreement between the Company or any of its subsidiaries and
you shall limit, qualify or be inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement, then for purposes of this Agreement, while the same shall remain in force, the provision of this Agreement shall control and such provision of such other agreement
shall be deemed to have been superseded, and to be of no force or effect, as if such other agreement had been formally amended to the extent necessary to accomplish such purpose. 

14. Counterparts. This Agreement 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. 

 If this letter correctly sets forth our agreement on the subject matter hereof, kindly sign
and return to the Company the enclosed copy of this letter which will then constitute our agreement on this subject.

(x) the subordination, if any, of the Securities of the Series pursuant to this Indenture and any changes or additions to the provisions
of this Indenture then in effect; 
 (y) with regard to Securities of the Series that do not bear interest, the dates for
certain required reports to the Trustee; and 
 (z) any other terms of Securities of the Series (which terms shall not be
prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture). 
 All Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and may
be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate referred to above, and the authorized principal amount of any
Series may not be increased to provide for issuances of additional Securities of such Series, unless otherwise provided in such Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate. 

SECTION 2.03. Execution and Authentication. One or more Officers of the Issuer for a Series shall sign the Securities of such
Series on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer
holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Security shall not
be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. A Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication, unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate. 

The Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the
Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of an Issuer Order. Such Issuer Order may 

  
 9 

 
authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Issuer or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in
writing. 
 The aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the
maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02, except as provided in Section 2.08. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Securities. Any such appointment
shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuer. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so.
Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 

SECTION 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or
places specified with respect to such Series pursuant to this Section, an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where
Securities of such Series may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars
and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. The Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as
Registrar and Paying Agent for each Series of Securities unless another Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued. 

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall
incorporate the terms of the Trust Indenture Act. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuer fails to
maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Issuer or any of its domestically organized Significant Subsidiaries may act as Paying
Agent or Registrar. 
 The Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent
and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (1) acceptance of any appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor
Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (2) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause
(1) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Registrar or Paying Agent only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with
Section 7.08.

 SECTION 2.05. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Issuer of a Series of
Securities shall require each Paying Agent with respect to such Series other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Holders of such Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by
the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or premium or interest on such Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a
Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer, at any time, may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or any of its
domestically organized Significant Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or any of its domestically organized Significant Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent for a Series of Securities, it shall segregate and hold
in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Holders of such Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent for such Series of Securities. 
 SECTION 2.06. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of each Series of
Securities and shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the
Trustee may reasonably request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Holders of each Series of Securities. 

SECTION 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. Where Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request
to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of
transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Issuer may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.06 or
9.05). 
 Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange
Securities of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day
of such mailing or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected, called or being called for
redemption in part. 
 SECTION 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security is
surrendered to the Trustee, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. 

  
 11 

 If there shall be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee (i) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the
Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon the Issuer’s request the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, 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 Issuer, in its discretion, may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or
not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder.

 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
 SECTION 2.09. Outstanding
Securities. The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the
Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding. 
 If a Security is
replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 

If, at the Maturity of Securities of a Series, the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then,
on and after that date, such Securities of the Series shall cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue. 

A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Security. 

In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities of any Series have given any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be
due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02. 

  
 12 

 SECTION 2.10. Treasury Securities. In determining whether the Holders of the required
principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Issuer and its Affiliates shall be disregarded, except that, for the purposes
of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities of a Series that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 

SECTION 2.11. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare, and the Trustee
shall authenticate, temporary Securities upon an Issuer Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without
unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare, and the Trustee upon request shall authenticate, definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary Securities shall have
the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive Securities. 
 SECTION 2.12. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time
may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities
surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy such canceled Securities (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act) and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Issuer upon
the Issuer’s request, unless the Issuer otherwise directs. The Issuer may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

SECTION 2.13. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities on the applicable
Interest Payment Date, such interest shall cease to be payable to the applicable Holders on the relevant Record Date for such Interest Payment Date. In such case, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any
interest payable on the defaulted interest to but excluding the date scheduled for payment of such defaulted interest to Holders, pursuant to clause (1) or (2) below, as the Issuer shall elect: 

(1) The Issuer may elect to make such payment to the persons who are Holders of the Series on a subsequent special record date. The
Issuer shall fix the payment date for such defaulted interest and the special record date therefor, which shall not be more than 15 days nor less than 10 days prior to such payment date. At least 10 days before the special record
date, the Issuer shall mail to the Trustee and to each Holder of the Series a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid. 

(2) The Issuer may elect to make such payment in any other lawful manner. 

Payment of defaulted interest and any interest thereon to the Trustee shall be deemed to satisfy the Issuer’s obligation to pay such
defaulted interest and any interest thereon for all purposes of this Indenture. 

  
 13 

 SECTION 2.14. Global Securities. 

(a) Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate shall establish
whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and, if they are so issued, the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities. 

(b) Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.07 of this Indenture and in
addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.07 of this Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary
notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or, if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Issuer fails to
appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days following such event, (ii) the Issuer executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable or (iii) an Event of
Default with respect to the Securities represented by such Global Security shall have occurred and be continuing and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security in an amount not less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of such Global Security have delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee a notice indicating that the continuation of the book-entry system through such Depositary is no longer in the best interests of the holders of the beneficial interests in
such Global Security. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms. 
 Except as provided in this Section 2.14(b), a Global
Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary
or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary. 
 (c) Legend. Any Global
Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 “THIS GLOBAL SECURITY IS HELD BY THE
DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS SECURITY) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (I) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH
NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THE INDENTURE, (II) THIS GLOBAL SECURITY MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.07 OF THE INDENTURE, (III) THIS GLOBAL SECURITY MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION
PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.12 OF THE INDENTURE AND (IV) THIS GLOBAL SECURITY MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE ISSUER (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS SECURITY).” 

  
 14 

 (d) Acts of Holders. The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise
authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under this Indenture. 

(e) Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.02, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof. 
 (f) Consents, Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.14(e), the Issuer, any Securities Guarantor, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such
principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations,
waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.15. Terms of Payment.
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 is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest
at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.04; provided, however, that each installment of interest on any Security may at the Issuer’s option be paid by mailing a check for such interest,
payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto, to the address of such Person as it appears on the register for such Series of Securities or by wire transfer to an account of the Person entitled thereto as such account shall be
provided to the Registrar for such Series of Securities and shall appear on the applicable register. Payments of principal of a Security shall be made against surrender of such Security at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such
purpose pursuant to Section 2.04 at the Issuer’s option by check payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto or by wire transfer to an account of the Person entitled thereto as such account shall be provided to the
Registrar for such Series of Securities. 
 SECTION 2.16. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security
for registration of transfer, the Issuer, any applicable Securities Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, any applicable Securities Guarantor, or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner
of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Issuer, any applicable
Securities Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer, any applicable Securities Guarantor, or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 None of the Issuer, any applicable Securities Guarantor, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar shall 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. The Issuer, any applicable Securities Guarantor, the Trustee and the
Registrar shall be entitled to deal with any Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the Holder of any such Global Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if
any, and interest and the giving of instructions or directions by 

  
 15 

 
or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole Holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof.
None of the Issuer, any applicable Securities Guarantor, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of any such Depositary (or its nominee) with respect to such Global
Security, for the records of any such Depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any transactions between such Depositary and any participant in such Depositary or between
or among any such Depositary, any such participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Security. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, any applicable Securities
Guarantor, the Trustee, or any agent of the Issuer, any applicable Securities Guarantor, or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with
respect to such Global Security or impair, as between such Depositary (or its nominee) and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its
nominee) as Holder of such Global Security. 
 SECTION 2.17. CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use
“CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of
such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or
omission of such numbers. 
 ARTICLE III  
 Redemption 
 SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee. The Issuer with
respect to any Series of Securities may elect to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms provided for
in such Series of Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Issuer wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Securities of the Series to be redeemed and the redemption price. The Issuer shall give such notice to the Trustee at least 45 days before the redemption date
unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. 
 SECTION 3.02. Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed. Unless
otherwise provided for in a particular Series of Securities by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, if fewer than all the Securities of a particular Series are to be redeemed, subject to Depositary
requirements, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by a method that complies with applicable legal and securities exchange 

  
 16 

 
requirements, if any, and that the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate and in accordance with methods generally used at the time of selection by fiduciaries in
similar circumstances. The Trustee shall make the selection at least 30 days but no more than 60 days before the redemption date from outstanding Securities of a Series not previously called for redemption. Securities and portions thereof that the
Trustee selects shall be in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Issuer of the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption.
Unless otherwise provided for a particular Series of Securities by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Securities, the Issuer shall
mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address. 
 The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (1) the
redemption date; 
 (2) the redemption price; 
 (3) if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or
Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Security; 

(4) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
 (5) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 
 (6) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Securities (or
portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 
 (7) the paragraph of the Securities
and/or provision of this Indenture pursuant to which the Securities called for redemption are being redeemed; 
 (8) the CUSIP
or ISIN number, if any, printed on the Securities being redeemed; and 
 (9) that no representation is made as to the
correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities. 
 At the
Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption as provided to it in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section.

  
 17 

 SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed,
Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice.

 Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other
Holder. 
 SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the redemption date,
the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or any domestically organized Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued
interest on, all Securities to be redeemed on that date, other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. The Paying Agent (if the Issuer or any
domestically organized Significant Subsidiary is not the Paying Agent) shall as promptly as practicable return to the Issuer any money deposited with it by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued
interest on, all Securities to be redeemed. If such money is then held by the Issuer in trust and is not required for such purpose it shall be discharged from such trust. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it
to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. 

SECTION 3.06. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Issuer’s expense), a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 Covenants 

SECTION 4.01. Payment of Securities. The Issuer with respect to an outstanding Series of Securities shall promptly make all
payments in respect of such Series of Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in such Series of Securities and in this Indenture. Such payments shall be considered made on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds
prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time), in accordance with this Indenture, money sufficient to make all payments with respect to such Securities then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such
money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. All amounts payable under this Indenture by the Issuer shall be in U.S. dollars. 
 SECTION 4.02. SEC Reports. Unless otherwise provided for a particular Series of Securities in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, the Issuer with respect
to each outstanding Series of Securities shall file with the Trustee within 30 days after it files them with the SEC, copies of its annual report and the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as
the SEC may by rules and 

  
 18 

 
regulations prescribe) that such Issuer is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee
is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with
any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Issuer also shall comply with the other provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 314(a). 

SECTION 4.03. Compliance Certificate. The Issuer with respect to an outstanding Series of Securities shall deliver to the Trustee
within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of such Issuer an Officers’ Certificate (signed by any one of the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer and another Officer) stating
whether or not the signers know of any Default with respect to such Series of Securities that occurred during such period. If the signers know of any Default, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action such Issuer is
taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Issuer also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 314(a) (4). 

SECTION 4.04. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article V, the Issuer with respect to each outstanding Series of Securities
will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence. 

ARTICLE V 

Successor Companies 
 SECTION 5.01. Merger and Consolidation. Unless otherwise provided for in a particular Series of Securities in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, the
Issuer with respect to an outstanding Series of Securities shall not consolidate with or merge into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its properties and assets to, any Person unless: 

(i) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) shall be a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor Company (if not such Issuer) shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in
form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Issuer under the applicable Securities and this Indenture; 
 (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default with respect to any Series of Securities of such Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing; and 

(iii) such Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that
such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture. 
 The Successor
Company shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the applicable Issuer under this Indenture (as modified or supplemented by a 

  
 19 

 
Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate), but the predecessor Issuer, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of its assets, shall not be released
from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on any Securities of which it was the Issuer. 
 ARTICLE VI 

Defaults And Remedies 
 SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. Unless otherwise provided for in a particular Series of Securities by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, in the case of
any Series of Securities, each of the following constitutes an “Event of Default” with respect to such Series of Securities: 
 (1) default in any payment of the principal amount or premium, if any, on any Security of that Series when such amount becomes due and payable at Stated Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or
otherwise; 
 (2) failure to pay interest on any Security of that Series when such interest becomes due and payable, and such
failure continues for a period of 30 days; 
 (3) failure to comply with any of the covenants or agreements applicable to
Securities of that Series (other than those referred to in (1) or (2) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after the notice specified below; 
 (4) the Issuer with respect to such Series of Securities pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 
 (A) commences a voluntary case; 
 (B) consents to the entry of an
order for relief against it in an involuntary case; 
 (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or
for all or substantially all of its property; or 
 (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
creditors or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; or 
 (5) a court of competent
jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law, which remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days, that: 
 (A) is for relief against the Issuer with respect to such Series of Securities in an involuntary case; 
 (B) appoints a Custodian of the Issuer with respect to such Series of Securities or all or substantially all of its property; or 

(C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Issuer with respect to such Series of Securities or any similar relief is
granted under any foreign laws. 

  
 20 

 The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of
Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is 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. 

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors.
The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 A Default under clause (3) above is not an Event of Default with respect to any Series of Securities until the Trustee notifies the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of that Series notify the Issuer and the Trustee of the Default (such notice being a “Notice of Default”) and the Issuer does not cure such Default within the time specified in clause (3) after receipt of such
notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” 
 SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default with respect to any Series of Securities at the time outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(4) or
(5) with respect to the applicable Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series by notice to the applicable Issuer (and to the Trustee if such
notice is given by the Holders), may declare the principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), and accrued and unpaid interest on all the
Securities of that Series to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such amounts shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(4) or (5) with respect to the Issuer of a Series of Securities
occurs, the principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of such Series shall ipso
facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee may rescind an
acceleration of that Series of Securities and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default with respect to such Series of Securities have been cured or waived except
nonpayment of the principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), and accrued and unpaid interest on all Securities of that Series that has
become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to any Series of Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the
principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities of that Series or to enforce
the performance of any provision of the Securities of that Series or this Indenture. 

  
 21 

 The Trustee may institute and maintain a suit or legal proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Securities of a Series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default with respect to any Series of
Securities shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. 

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any Series
then outstanding may by notice to the Trustee waive an existing Default and its consequences except (i) a Default in the payment of the principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the portion
thereby specified in the terms of such Security), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on a Security of that Series, (ii) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Security of that Series when required pursuant to
the terms of this Indenture or (iii) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder of that Series affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. 
 SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee with respect to that Series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other
Holder of that Series or that would subject the Trustee to personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any
action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of the principal amount of (or, in the case of
Original Issue Discount Securities, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on a Security of any Series when due, no Holder of a Security of that Series may pursue any remedy
with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of that Series unless: 
 (1) the Holder previously gave the Trustee written
notice stating that an Event of Default with respect to that Series is continuing; 
 (2) the Holders of at least 25%, in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3)
such Holder or Holders of that Series offer to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 

  
 22 

 (5) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that
Series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period. 
 A Holder of Securities of
any Series may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of that Series or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of that Series. 
 SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal amount of (or, in the case of
Original Issue Discount Securities, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities held by such Holder, on or after their Maturity, or to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after their Maturity, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing with respect to a Series of Securities, the Trustee may
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the applicable Issuer or Securities Guarantor for the whole amount then due and owing by such Issuer or Securities Guarantor (together with interest on any unpaid interest
to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07. 
 SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of
Claim. The Trustee may 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 and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the applicable Issuer or
Securities Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, their creditors or their property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person
performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If any money or property is collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI with respect to any
Series of Securities, or while an Event of Default is continuing, any moneys or properties are distributable in respect of the Issuer’s or any Securities Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, such moneys or properties shall be paid
out or distributed in the following order: 
 FIRST: to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for amounts due under
Section 7.07; 
 SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities of that Series for the principal amount of
(or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to
the amounts due and payable on the Securities of that Series for the principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), premium, if any, and
accrued and unpaid interest, respectively; and 

  
 23 

 THIRD: to the Issuer. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such
record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Issuer a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 
 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee,
a court in its discretion may require the filing, by any party litigant in the suit, of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees 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. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a
suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities of any Series. 
 SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or
Extension Laws. The Issuer (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law, wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or
impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 Trustee 

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Series of
Securities, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such

 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may, with respect to Securities of that Series, conclusively rely,
as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of 

  
 24 

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

misconduct, except that: 
 (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section; 

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

takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05. 
 (d) Every
provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (g) of this Section.

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 and to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act.

have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

 25

(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document. 
 (g)
The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any Series unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact
such a Default or Event of Default given by an Issuer or by the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities of that Series then outstanding is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such
notice references such Securities and this Indenture. 
 (h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given
to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to and shall be enforceable by the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each Agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

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

catastrophes or acts of God, and 

  
 26 

 
interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are
consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 
 SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with each Issuer or its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity
or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities or Securities Guarantees, it shall not be accountable for an Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, it shall not be accountable for funds received and disbursed in accordance with the
Indenture, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in this Indenture, in the Securities, or in any document executed or used in connection with the sale of the Securities, other than those set forth in the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication. 
 SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default with respect to Securities of any Series occurs and is
continuing and if it is actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of that Series notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default with respect to Securities of any
Series in payment of the principal amount of (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities of that Series, the portion thereby specified in the terms of such Security), premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on any Security of
that Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders. 

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holder. As promptly as practicable after each
[                    ] beginning with the
[                    ] for so long as Securities remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such reporting
date that complies with Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee shall also comply with Section 313 (b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Securities are listed. The applicable Issuer of Securities agrees to
notify promptly the Trustee whenever such Securities become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. Each Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its
services as such Issuer and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer with respect to a Series shall reimburse
the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with such Series, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable
compensation and expenses, disbursements 

  
 27 

 
and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts in connection with such Series. The Issuer with respect to a Series shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all
loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by or in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties or exercise of its rights or powers hereunder in connection with such Series.
The Trustee shall notify each Issuer of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify an Issuer shall not relieve such Issuer of its
indemnity obligations hereunder. An Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence. 

To secure the payment obligations pursuant to this Section of the Issuer with respect to a Series, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to
the Securities of such Series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee in connection with such Series other than money or property held in trust to pay the principal of and interest and any liquidated damages on particular
Securities. 
 Each Issuer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of
this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(4) or
(5) with respect to an Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law. 
 “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. 

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of any Series by so
notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such Series of Securities. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if:

 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 
 (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 
 (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns,
is removed by the Issuer or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the
Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. 

  
 28 

 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall
mail a notice of its succession to Holders of that Series of Securities. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07. 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the
Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Securities of that Series may petition, at the expense of the Issuer, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of that Series of Securities may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the replacement of
the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate-trust business or assets to, another
corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 
 In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and if at that time any of the Securities shall not have been
authenticated, any such successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which
it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 
 SECTION 7.10.
Eligibility; Disqualification. At all times, the Trustee shall satisfy the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent
published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b)(1) any indenture
or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b)(1) are met.

 SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act
Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or has been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 Legal Defeasance And Covenant Defeasance; Satisfaction And Discharge 

SECTION 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. At the option of the applicable Issuer’s Board of
Directors evidenced by resolutions set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, such Issuer may elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Securities of any Series issued by such Issuer upon
compliance with the conditions set forth below in Section 8.04. 
 SECTION 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.
Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02 with respect to any Series of Securities, the Issuer (and any Securities Guarantor with respect to such Series) shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Securities of that Series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities of that Series, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such
Securities and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: 
 (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of that Series to receive solely from the funds deposited in
trust with the Trustee described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities when such payment are due; 

(b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Securities of that Series under Article II; 

(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith;
and 
 (d) this Article VIII. 
 Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 

SECTION 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.03 with respect to any Series of Securities, the Issuer (and any Securities Guarantor with respect to such Series) shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its
obligations under the covenants contained in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate with respect to the outstanding Securities of that Series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of that Series shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, 

  
 30 

 
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other
purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of that Series, the Issuer may omit
to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference
in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to such Securities under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified
above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 
 SECTION 8.04. Conditions to Legal
or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Securities of any Series: 
 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to any Series of Securities: 
 (1) the applicable Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of that Series of Securities, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a
combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Securities of that Series
on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be; 
 (2) in the case of an
election under Section 8.02 hereof, such Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: 

(a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 

(b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to
the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities of that Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and
will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (3) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, such Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming
that the Holders of the outstanding Securities of that Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to 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; 

  
 31 

 (4) no Event of Default with respect to that Series of Securities shall have occurred and be
continuing either: 
 (x) on the date of such deposit (other than an Event of Default with respect to that Series
of Securities resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit); or 
 (y) insofar as Sections
6.01(4) or 6.01(5) hereof are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; 
 (5) such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound;

 (6) such Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by
the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of that Series of Securities over any other creditors of the Issuer or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Issuer or others; and 

(7) such Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

SECTION 8.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to
Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”)
pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of any outstanding Series of Securities 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 (including the Issuer acting as 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, premium, if any, and interest, but such money
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The applicable Issuer shall pay and indemnify
the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any
such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities of that Series. 

Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the applicable Issuer from time to
time upon the request of such Issuer any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance. 

  
 32 

 SECTION 8.06. Repayment to the Issuer. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer with respect to any Series of Securities, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security of such Series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal,
and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to such Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter look only to such Issuer
for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of such Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying
Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of such Issuer cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a
date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to such Issuer. 

SECTION 8.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government
Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 thereof, as the case may be, with respect to any Series of Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
such application, then the obligations of the Issuer of such Series under this Indenture and the Securities of such Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time
as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

SECTION 8.08. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Except as set forth below, upon request of the applicable Issuer, this
Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any Series of Securities specified in such request (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of such Series expressly provided for herein or
pursuant hereto) and the Trustee, at the expense of such Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such Series when 

(1) either 
 (A) all Securities of such Series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in
Section 2.08 and Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust by the Issuer with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from
such trust as provided in Section 8.06) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (B) all
Securities of such Series 

  
 33 

 (i) have become due and payable, or 

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

(iii) if redeemable at the option of the Issuer, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, 
 and the Issuer, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose, solely for the benefit of
the Holders, an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, to the date of such deposit (in
the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be; 
 (2) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer; and 
 (3) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture as to such Series have been complied with. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee under Section 7.07 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under
Section 8.09 and Section 8.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 8.09.
Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant Section 8.08 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any,
for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Money so held in trust is subject to the Trustee’s rights under
Section 7.07. 
 ARTICLE IX  
 Amendments 
 SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Issuer
and Securities Guarantor of any Series of Securities and the Trustee may amend this Indenture as it applies to such Series or any of the other terms of such Series without notice to or consent of any Holder: 

(1) to evidence the succession of another Person to such Issuer pursuant to Article V and the assumption by such successor of such
Issuer’s covenants, agreements and obligations in this Indenture and with respect to the Securities; 

  
 34 

 (2) to surrender any right or power conferred upon such Issuer, to add to the covenants such
further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the Holders of such Series of Securities and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in respect of any such additional covenants,
restrictions, conditions or provisions a Default or an Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to such Series; provided, however, that with respect to any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision, such
amendment may provide for a period of grace after default, which may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other Defaults, may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such Default, may limit the remedies available to the Trustee
upon such Default or may limit the right of Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any Series to waive such default; 
 (3) to cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision contained in this Indenture, in any supplemental indenture, Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or in any Securities that may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained therein; 
 (4) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any
property to or with the Trustee, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture as shall not adversely affect the interests of any Holders of Securities of such Series; 

(5) to modify or amend this Indenture in such a manner as to permit the qualification of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture
under the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect; 
 (6) to add to or to change any of the provisions of this Indenture to
provide that Securities in bearer form may be registrable as to principal, to change or eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal, premium or interest with respect to Securities in bearer form, to permit Securities in registered form to
be exchanged for Securities in bearer form, or to permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities of such Series in uncertificated form, provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities or any
coupons of any Series in any material respect; 
 (7) in the case of subordinated Securities, to make any change in the
provisions of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate relating to subordination that would limit or terminate the benefits available to any holder of senior indebtedness under such provisions,
subject to any consent required under the terms of such senior indebtedness; 
 (8) to add Securities Guarantees with respect to
the Securities or to secure the Securities; 
 (9) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of
Securities of such Series; 

  
 35 

 (10) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor or separate
Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of this Indenture by more than one Trustee; or

 (11) to establish the form or terms of Securities and coupons of such Series pursuant to Article II. 

UAL, United, Continental and the Trustee may amend this Indenture without notice to or consent of any Holder to add to, change, or
eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture, so long as any such addition, change or elimination not otherwise permitted under this Indenture shall (A) neither apply to any Security of any Series outstanding at the time of the execution
of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor modify the rights of the Holders of any such Security with respect to the benefit of such provision or (B) become effective only when there is no such Security
outstanding. 
 SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. The Issuer and the Securities Guarantor of any Series of
Securities and the Trustee may amend this Indenture as it applies to such Series or any of the other terms of such Series without notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Securities of such Series then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Securities). However, without the consent of each Holder of an affected Security, an amendment may not: 

(1) make any change to the percentage of principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the applicable Series, the consent of whose
Holders is required for any amendment, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture;

 (2) reduce the principal amount of, premium, if any, or interest on, or extend the Stated Maturity or interest payment
periods of such Security; 
 (3) make such Security payable in money or securities other than that stated in such Security;

 (4) make any change that adversely affects such Holder’s right to require the applicable Issuer to purchase such
Security in accordance with the terms thereof and this Indenture; 
 (5) impair the right of such Holder to institute suit for
the enforcement of any payment with respect to such Security; 
 (6) in the case of any subordinated Securities, or coupons
appertaining thereto, make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to subordination that adversely affects the rights of such Holder under such provisions; 

  
 36 

 (7) except as provided under Article VIII hereof or in accordance with the terms of any
Securities Guarantee, release any Securities Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Securities Guarantee or make any change in a Securities Guarantee that would adversely affect such Holder; or 

(8) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 or the second sentence of this Section 9.02. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to all affected Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice
to all such Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section. 

SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the Trust
Indenture Act as then in effect. 
 SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an
amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or
waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the
amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective once both (i) the requisite number of consents have been received by the Issuer or the
Trustee and (ii) such amendment or waiver has been executed by the Issuer and the Trustee. 
 The Issuer may, but shall not
be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then
notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or
to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date, unless the amendment or waiver for which such consent was
given becomes effective within such 120 day period. 
 SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an
amendment changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder.
Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a
new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment. 

  
 37 

 SECTION 9.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment
authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive indemnity satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture and that such amendment is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and any Securities Guarantor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof
(including Section 9.03). 
 SECTION 9.07. Payment for Consent. Neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer
shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder of Securities of a Series for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or
provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders of Securities of such Series, ratably, that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents
relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 
 ARTICLE X  

Securities Guarantees 
 SECTION 10.01. Securities Guarantees. If Securities of or within a Series are specified, as contemplated by Section 2.02(w), to be guaranteed by a specified Securities Guarantor, then such
Securities Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of any such Security which is authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to each Holder of any coupon appertaining to any such Security, if any, and to the Trustee
for itself and on behalf of each such Holder, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including, in case of default, interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on overdue
interest and including any additional interest required to be paid according to the terms of any such Security or any coupon appertaining thereto), if any, on each such Security, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at Stated
Maturity, upon redemption, upon acceleration, upon tender for repayment at the option of any Holder or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of this Indenture and all other obligations of the Issuer with respect to such Security to the
Holder or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (the “Securities Guarantor Obligations”). In case of the failure of the Issuer with respect to such Securities or any successor thereto punctually to pay any such principal, premium, or
interest, the Securities Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon declaration of acceleration, upon tender for
repayment at the option of any Holder or otherwise, as if such payment were made by the Issuer with respect to such Securities. 

The Securities Guarantor hereby agrees that its Securities Guarantor Obligations hereunder with respect to any Securities shall be as if
it were principal debtor and not merely surety and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the identity of the Issuer, the validity, regularity or enforceability of any such Security or coupon appertaining thereto or this Indenture, the
absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by the Holder of 

  
 38 

 
any such Security or coupon appertaining thereto with respect to any provisions thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer or any action to enforce the same, or any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. The Securities Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency
or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Securities Guarantees will not be discharged except by complete performance of its obligations
contained in any such Security or coupon appertaining thereto and in this Securities Guarantee. 
 If the Trustee or the Holder
of any Security or any coupon appertaining thereto is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or the Securities Guarantor, or any custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official acting in
relation to the Issuer or the Securities Guarantor, any amount paid to the Trustee or such Holder in respect of a Security or any coupons appertaining thereto included in such Securities Guarantor’s Securities Guarantor Obligations, the
applicable Securities Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The Securities Guarantor further agrees, to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so, that, as between the Securities
Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, the maturity of the obligations included in such Securities Guarantor’s Securities Guarantor Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the
purposes of the applicable Securities Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition extant under any applicable bankruptcy law preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby. 

The Securities Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Securities of a Series (and of any coupons appertaining
thereto) included in such Securities Guarantor’s Securities Guarantor Obligations against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by the Securities Guarantor on account of such Securities or any coupons appertaining thereto or this Indenture;
provided, however, that the Securities Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on all
Securities of such Series shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. 
 SECTION 10.02. Execution and Delivery of Securities
Guarantees. To evidence its Securities Guarantees with respect to Securities of or within any Series that are specified, as contemplated by Section 2.02(w) to be guaranteed by the Securities Guarantor, the Securities Guarantor hereby
agrees to execute such Securities Guarantees, in a form established pursuant to Section 2.02(w), to be endorsed on each Security of such Series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each such Securities Guarantee shall be executed on
behalf of the Securities Guarantor by the Chairman of the Board, the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the president, any vice president, the treasurer, the controller or the secretary of such Securities Guarantor. The
signature of any of these officers on the Securities Guarantees may be manual or facsimile. 
 Securities Guarantees bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of the individuals who were the proper officers of the Securities Guarantor shall bind the Securities Guarantor, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to or after
the authentication and delivery of the Securities upon which such Securities Guarantees are endorsed or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 

  
 39 

 The delivery of any Securities by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder,
shall constitute due delivery of the Securities Guarantees endorsed thereon on behalf of the Securities Guarantor. The Securities Guarantor hereby agrees that its Securities Guarantees made pursuant to this Article X shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each such Security a notation of such Securities Guarantee. 
 SECTION
10.03. Limitation of Securities Guarantor’s Liability. The Securities Guarantor and, by its acceptance of a Security guaranteed by such Securities Guarantor, each Holder of such Security hereby confirms that it is the intention of
all such parties that in no event shall any Securities Guarantor Obligations under the Securities Guarantees constitute or result in a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of, or result in a violation of, any United States federal, or
applicable United States state, fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, in the event that the Securities Guarantor Obligations, if any, in respect of the Securities of any Series would, but for
this sentence, constitute or result in such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or violation, then the liability of the Securities Guarantor under its Securities Guarantees in respect of the Securities of such Series shall be reduced to the extent
necessary to eliminate such fraudulent transfer or conveyance or violation under the applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law. 
 SECTION 10.04. Merger and Consolidation. Unless otherwise provided for in a particular Series of Securities in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, the
Securities Guarantor with respect to an outstanding Series of Securities shall not consolidate with or merge into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its properties and assets to, any Person unless: 

(i) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Guarantor”) shall be a corporation organized
and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor Guarantor (if not such Securities Guarantor) shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to
the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Securities Guarantor under the applicable Securities Guarantee of such Securities and this Indenture; 

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction no Event of Default with respect to any Series guaranteed by such
Securities Guarantor shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (iii) the Issuer with respect to each Series
of Securities guaranteed by such Securities Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture.

 The Successor Guarantor shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the applicable
Securities Guarantor under this Indenture (as modified or 

  
 40 

 
supplemented by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate), but the predecessor Securities Guarantor, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of its
assets, shall not be released from any of its Securities Guarantees of Securities. 
 ARTICLE XI

 SECTION
11.06. Severability. If any provision in this Indenture is deemed unenforceable, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision set forth herein, or of the Indenture as a whole.
