Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture detailing the adoption of the terms thereof pursuant to authority granted under a Board Resolution may provide for the method by which specified terms (such as interest rate, maturity date, record

obligation, if any, of the Company to redeem or purchase the Securities of the Series pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a Holder thereof and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and

2.2.22. any other terms of the Series (which may supplement, modify or delete any provision of this Indenture insofar as it applies to
such Series), including any terms that may be required under applicable law or regulations or advisable in connection with the marketing of Securities of that Series; and 

  
 9 

 2.2.23. whether any of the Company’s direct or indirect Subsidiaries will guarantee the
Securities of that Series, including the terms of subordination, if any, of such guarantees. 
 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 hereto or Officer’s Certificate referred to above. 

 

	 	Section 2.3.	Execution and Authentication. 

 An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by
manual or facsimile signature. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is
authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the
Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 

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 Officer’s Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

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 Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, except as provided in Section 2.8. 

Prior to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected
in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of
Securities within that Series, (b) an Officer’s Certificate complying with Section 10.4, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4. 

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised
by counsel, determines that such action may not be taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents or a committee of
Responsible Officers shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities. 

  
 10 

 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate
Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as
an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. 
  

	 	Section 2.4.	Registrar and Paying Agent. 

 The Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of
Securities, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.2, an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”), where
Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be delivered
(“Notice Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their transfer and exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change
in the name or address, of each Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address
thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional notice agents
and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent in each
place so specified pursuant to Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such
co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional notice agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Notice
Agent” includes any additional notice agent. The Company or any of its Affiliates may serve as Registrar or Paying Agent. 
 The
Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first
issued. 
  

	 	Section 2.5.	Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

 The Company shall require each Paying Agent other
than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the
Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company 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 Company
at any time 

  
 11 

 
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 Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no
further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying
Agent. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities. 
  

	 	Section 2.6.	Securityholder 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 Securityholders of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Securityholders
of each Series of Securities. 
  

	 	Section 2.7.	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 Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges
pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6 or 9.6). 
 Neither the Company 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 Business Days immediately preceding the sending of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the
close of business on the day such notice is sent, 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. 
 The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of
interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the
same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

  
 12 

	 	Section 2.8.	Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

 If any mutilated Security is
surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss
or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity bond as may be required by each of them to hold itself and any of its agents harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and 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 Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay all amounts due and payable with respect to such Security. 

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the 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 Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
  

	 	Section 2.9.	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 2.8, 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 the Paying Agent (other than the
Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to be
outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 

  
 13 

 The Company may purchase or otherwise acquire the Securities, whether by open market purchases,
negotiated transactions or otherwise. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security (but see Section 2.10 below). 

In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a 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 6.2. 
  

	 	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 Company or any Affiliate of the Company 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 a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so
owned shall be so disregarded. 
  

	 	Section 2.11.	Temporary Securities. 

 Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company
may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary
Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order 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 Company 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 dispose of such canceled Securities in accordance with its procedures for the disposition of canceled securities (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act and the Trustee) and deliver a
certificate of such cancellation to the Company upon written request of the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

  
 14 

	 	Section 2.13.	Defaulted Interest. 

 If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of
Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Securityholders of the Series on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix
the record date and payment date. At least 10 days before the special record date, the Company shall send to the Trustee and to each Securityholder of the Series a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of
interest to be paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner. 
  

	 	Section 2.14.	Global Securities. 

 2.14.1. Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a
supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s 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 the Depositary for such Global Security or
Securities. 
 2.14.2. Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of
this Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 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 Company 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 Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that
such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. 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 2.14.2, 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. 

2.14.3. Legends. Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

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

  
 15 

 
DEPOSITARY, BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH A
SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.” 
 In addition, so long as the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) is the Depositary, each Global
Security registered in the name of DTC or its nominee shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 “UNLESS THIS GLOBAL
NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”), TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY GLOBAL NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN
THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY
TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.” 

2.14.4. 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. 

2.14.5. Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.2, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof. 

2.14.6. Consents, Declaration and Directions. The Company, 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 or by the applicable procedures of such 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.	CUSIP Numbers. 

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

  
 16 

 ARTICLE III. 

REDEMPTION 
  

	 	Section 3.1.	Notice to Trustee. 

 The Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve
the right 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 as provided for in such Securities. If a Series
of Securities is redeemable and the Company 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 Series of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give such notice to the Trustee at least 10 days before the date the notice of redemption is to be given to the Holders, unless a shorter period is
satisfactory to the Trustee. 
  

	 	Section 3.2.	Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. 

 Unless otherwise indicated for a particular
Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, if less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Securities of the Series to be redeemed will be selected as follows: (a) if the
Securities are in the form of Global Securities, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, (b) if the Securities are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities
exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed, or (c) if not otherwise provided for under clause (a) or (b) in the manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, including by lot or other method, unless otherwise required
by law or applicable stock exchange requirements, subject, in the case of Global Securities, to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Securities to be redeemed shall be selected from Securities of the Series outstanding not
previously called for redemption. Portions of the principal of Securities of the Series that have denominations larger than $2,000 may be selected for redemption. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selected for redemption shall be in
amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2.10, the minimum principal denomination for each Series and the authorized integral multiples
thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called for redemption. 
  

	 	Section 3.3.	Notice of Redemption. 

 Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board
Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall send or cause to be sent by first-class mail or electronically, in accordance with
the procedures of the Depositary, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed. 
 The notice shall identify
the Securities of the Series to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (a) the redemption date; 

  
 17 

 (b) the calculation of the redemption price, with the calculated redemption
price being set forth in an Officer’s Certificate no later than one Business Day prior to the redemption date; 

(c) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(d) if any Securities are being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed
and that, except in the case of Securities in the form of Global Securities, after the redemption date and upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Security
shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security; 
 (e) that Securities of
the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 
 (f) that
interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date unless the Company defaults in the deposit of the redemption price; 

(g) the CUSIP number, if any; and 

(h) any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Securities of a Series being
redeemed. 
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense;
provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 10 days (unless a shorter time shall be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the notice date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such
notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice. 
  

	 	Section 3.4.	Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

 Once notice of redemption is sent as provided in
Section 3.3, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price. Except as otherwise provided in the supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate for
a Series, a notice of redemption may be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date. 

 

	 	Section 3.5.	Deposit of Redemption Price. 

 On or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date. 

  
 18 

	 	Section 3.6.	Securities Redeemed in Part. 

 Except with respect to Securities in the form of Global
Securities, upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security of the same Series and the same maturity equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

 ARTICLE IV. 
 COVENANTS 

 

	 	Section 4.1.	Payment of Principal and Interest. 

 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of
the Holders of each Series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities of that Series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture. On or before 11:00 a.m., New

Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and to each Holder of Securities, within 15 days after it is or would have been required to file such with the SEC, annual and quarterly financial statements
substantially equivalent to financial statements that would have been included in reports filed with the SEC if the Company were subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, including, with respect to annual
information only, a report thereon by the certified independent public accountants of the Company, as such would be required in such reports to the SEC, and, in each case, together with a management’s discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations which would be so required. Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company will file a copy of all such information and reports with the SEC for public availability and will make such
information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA §314(a). Reports, information and documents filed with the SEC via the EDGAR system will be
deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the time of such filing via EDGAR for purposes of this Section 4.2. 
  

	 	Section 4.3.	Compliance Certificate. 

 To the extent any Securities of a Series are outstanding, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has
been made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to the Officer signing such certificate,
that to the best of his/her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions
hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which the Officer may have knowledge). 

  
 19 

	 	Section 4.4.	Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities; and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law,
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted. 

 

	 	Section 4.5.	Corporate Existence. 

 Subject to Article 5, the Company will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate (or other organizational) existence in accordance with its organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) and the
rights (charter and statutory), and corporate or other organizational and franchises of the Company, provided, however, that nothing in this section will prohibit the Company from engaging in any transactions permitted under the
Indenture, and the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, franchise or existence if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of Securities. 
  

	 	Section 4.6.	Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

 The Company shall maintain in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall
fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee and the Paying Agent, if different, with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the
Trustee set forth in Section 10.2. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to
maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, if different, of any such designation or rescission and of any
change in the location of any such other office or agency. The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent as such office.

 ARTICLE VI. 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
  

	 	Section 6.1.	Events of Default. 

 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with
respect to Securities of any Series, means any one of the following events, unless in the establishing Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate, it is provided that such Series shall not have the benefit of said Event
of Default: 
 (a) default in the payment of any interest on any Security of that Series when it becomes due and
payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of such payment is deposited by the Company with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the 30th day of such period); or 
 (b) default in the payment of principal of
any Security of that Series at its Maturity; or 
 (c) default in the performance or breach of any covenant or warranty
of the Company in this Indenture (other than defaults pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) above or pursuant to a covenant or warranty that has been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of Series of Securities other than that
Series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of that Series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or 

(d) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(i) commences a voluntary case, 

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 

(iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, 

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

(v) generally is unable to pay its debts as the same become due; or 

(e) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 

(i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case, 

  
 22 

 (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its
property, or 
 (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, 

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or 

(f) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that Series, which is specified in a Board
Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.2.18. 
 The term
“Bankruptcy Law” means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any
Bankruptcy Law. 
 The Company will provide the Trustee written of notice of any Default or Event of Default within 30 days of becoming
aware of the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. 

 

	 	Section 6.2.	Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

 If an Event of Default with respect
to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(d) or (e)) then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
the outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that Series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Securities of that Series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified
amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities 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. 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of
the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article VI provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and
annul such declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the principal and interest, if any, of Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent
Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

  
 23 

	 	Section 6.3.	Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

 The Company covenants
that if 
 (a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable
and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 
 (b) default is made in the payment of principal of any
Security at the Maturity thereof, or 
 (c) default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, if any, when and
as due by the terms of a Security, 
 then, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such
Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and any overdue interest at the rate or
rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such
Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or deemed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 

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

	 	Section 6.4.	Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

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

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities
and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel)
and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
 (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, 

  
 24 

 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

 

	 	Section 6.5.	Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 

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

	 	Section 6.6.	Application of Money Collected. 

 Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant
to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation
thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 First: To the payment of all amounts due the
Trustee under Section 7.7; and 
 Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the
Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

 Third: To the Company. 

  
 25 

	 	Section 6.7.	Limitation on Suits. 

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

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of that Series; 
 (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
that Series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by the Trustee in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series; 
 it being understood, intended and expressly covenanted by the
Holder of every Security with every other Holder and the Trustee that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the
rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of
all such Holders of the applicable Series. 
  

	 	Section 6.8.	Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest. 

 Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder
shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if, and to the extent, that the initiation or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment thereon would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment,
waiver or loss of the lien of the Indenture upon any property subject to such lien. 

  
 26 

	 	Section 6.9.	Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

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

	 	Section 6.10.	Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.8, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  

	 	Section 6.11.	Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

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

	 	Section 6.12.	Control by Holders. 

 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of any Series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of
such Series; provided that 
 (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture, 
 (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction, 
 (c) subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow
any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability, and 

(d) prior to taking any action as directed under this Section 6.12, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

  
 27 

	 	Section 6.13.	Waiver of Past Defaults. 

 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such Series waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of the principal of or
interest on any Security of such Series not yet cured (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any
related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

	 	Section 6.14.	Undertaking for Costs. 

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

ARTICLE VII. 
 TRUSTEE 

 

	 	Section 7.1.	Duties of Trustee. 

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

  
 28 

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

(i) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. 
 (ii) In the absence of bad faith on its
part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Indenture; however, in the case of any such Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officer’s Certificates
and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or not they conform to the form requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

own willful misconduct, except that:

with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

(g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if adequate indemnity against such risk is not assured to the Trustee to its satisfaction. 

(h) The Paying Agent, the Registrar and any authenticating agent shall be entitled to the protections and immunities as
are set forth in paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) of this Section and in Section 7.2, each with respect to the Trustee.

	 	Section 7.2.	Rights of Trustee. 

 (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on and
shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or
matter stated in the document. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

appointed with due care. No Depositary shall be deemed an agent of the Trustee and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission by any Depositary. 

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be
authorized or within its rights or powers, provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence. 

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall
be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder without willful misconduct or negligence, and in reliance thereon. 

(f) 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 of Securities unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated
in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such
further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit. 
 (h) The Trustee shall not be deemed to
have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities generally or the Securities of a particular Series and this Indenture. 

  
 30 

 (i) In no event shall the Trustee be liable to any person for special,
punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage. 

(j) The permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed as an
obligation or duty to do so. 
 (k) 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. 

(l) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, other than its right to be indemnified, are extended
to, and shall be enforceable by, each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 
  

	 	Section 7.3.	Individual Rights of Trustee. 

 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee is also subject to
Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
  

	 	Section 7.4.	Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

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

	 	Section 7.5.	Notice of Defaults. 

 If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with
respect to the Securities of any Series and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Securityholder of the Securities of that Series notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs
or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security of any Series, the Trustee may
withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate trust committee or a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders of that Series.

	 	Section 7.6.	Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

 Within 60 days after each anniversary of the date of
this Indenture, the Trustee shall send to all Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear on the register kept by the Registrar, a brief report dated as of such anniversary date, in accordance with, and to the extent required under, TIA
§ 313. 
 A copy of each report at the time of its sending to Securityholders of any Series shall be filed with the SEC and each
national securities exchange on which the Securities of that Series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when Securities of any Series are listed on any national securities exchange and any delisting thereof. 

 

	 	Section 7.7.	Compensation and Indemnity. 

 The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such
compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse
the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out of pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and hold them harmless against, any and all loss, liability
or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, or any Holder or other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the
provisions of this Section, except as set forth in the next paragraph. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its
obligations hereunder, unless and to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced thereby. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel and the Company shall pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders
and agents of the Trustee. 
 The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee
or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through willful misconduct or negligence. 
 To secure the
Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any Series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on
particular Securities of that Series. 

  
 32 

 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.1(d) or (e) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation and/or removal of the Trustee and the termination of this Indenture. 

 

	 	Section 7.8.	Replacement of Trustee. 

 A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. 

The Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of
the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect
to Securities of one or more Series if: 
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under
any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (c) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

 If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring
Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.
Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7, 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 with respect to each 

  
 33 

 
Series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall send a notice of its succession to each Securityholder of each such Series. Notwithstanding
replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it for actions
taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with its rights, powers and duties under this Indenture prior to such replacement. 
  

	 	Section 7.9.	Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. 

 If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts
into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee, subject to Section 7.10. 

 

	 	Section 7.10.	Eligibility; Disqualification. 

 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies
the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall always have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA
§ 310(b). 
  

	 	Section 7.11.	Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

 The Trustee is subject to TIA §
311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated. 

ARTICLE VIII. 
 SATISFACTION AND
DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE 
  

	 	Section 8.1.	Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

 This Indenture shall upon Company Order be
discharged with respect to the Securities of any Series and cease to be of further effect as to all Securities of such Series (except as hereinafter provided in this Section 8.1), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such Series, when

(i) all Securities of such Series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Securities that have been destroyed, lost
or stolen and that have been replaced or paid) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (ii) all such
Securities of such Series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation 
 (1) have become due and payable by

 34 

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

 (3) have been called for redemption or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, or 
 (4)

 and the Company, in the case of (1), (2) or (3) above, shall have
irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust an amount of money or U.S. Government Obligations, which amount shall be sufficient for the purpose of paying and discharging each installment of principal
(including mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments) of and interest on all the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments of principal or interest are due; 

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

(c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge contemplated by this Section have been complied with. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.7, and,
if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.7, 2.8, 7.1, 8.2 and 8.5 shall survive. 

 

	 	Section 8.2.	Application of Trust Funds; Indemnification.

either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the persons entitled thereto, of the principal and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with or
received by the Trustee or to make mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments as contemplated by Sections 8.1, 8.3 or 8.4. 

(b) The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed
against U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.3 or 8.4 or the interest and principal received in respect of such obligations other than any payable by or on behalf of Holders. 

  
 35 

 (c) The Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon
Company Order any U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations or money held by it as provided in Sections 8.3 or 8.4 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants or investment
bank expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are then in excess of the amount thereof which then would have been required to be deposited for the purpose for which such U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government
Obligations or money were deposited or received. This provision shall not authorize the sale by the Trustee of any U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations held under this Indenture. 

 

	 	Section 8.3.	Legal Defeasance of Securities of any Series. 

 Unless this Section 8.3 is otherwise
specified, pursuant to Section 2.2, to be inapplicable to Securities of any Series, the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the outstanding Securities of any Series on the 91st day after the date
of the deposit referred to in subparagraph (d) hereof, and the provisions of this Indenture, as it relates to such outstanding Securities of such Series, shall no longer be in effect (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall, upon
receipt of a Company Order, execute instruments acknowledging the same), except as to: 
 (a) the rights of Holders of
Securities of such Series to receive, from the trust funds described in subparagraph (d) hereof, (i) payment of the principal of and each installment of principal of and interest on the outstanding Securities of such Series on the Maturity
of such principal or installment of principal or interest and (ii) the benefit of any mandatory sinking fund payments applicable to the Securities of such Series on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms
of this Indenture and the Securities of such Series; 
 (b) the provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.7, 2.8, 7.7, 8.2,
8.3, 8.5 and 8.6; and

Obligations, or (ii) in the case of Securities of such Series denominated in a Foreign Currency (other than a composite currency), money and/or Foreign Government Obligations, which through the payment of interest and principal in respect
thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide (and without reinvestment), not later than one day before the due date of any payment of money, an amount in cash, sufficient, in the 

  
 36 

 
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each
installment of principal of and interest, on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of all the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments of principal or interest and such sinking fund payments are due; 

(e) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other
agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; 
 (f) no Default or Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of such Series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period ending on the 91st day after such date;

either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit,
defeasance and discharge and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred;

Section 2.2 to be inapplicable to Securities of any Series, the Company may omit to comply with respect to the Securities of any Series with any term, provision or condition set forth under Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 5.1 and, unless
otherwise specified therein, any additional covenants specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 (and the failure to comply with
any such covenants shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series under Section 6.1) and the occurrence of any event specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an
Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2.18 and designated as an Event of Default shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder, with respect to the Securities of such Series, but, except as specified above,
the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities will be unaffected thereby; provided that the following conditions shall have been satisfied: 

  
 37 

 (a) with reference to this Section 8.4, the Company has irrevocably

Currency (other than a composite currency), money and/or Foreign Government Obligations, which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide (and without reinvestment), not later than
one day before the due date of any payment of money, an amount in cash, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants or investment bank expressed in a written certification thereof delivered
to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal (including mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments) of and interest on all the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments of principal or interest are due;

	 	Section 8.5.	Repayment to Company. 

 Subject to applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the
Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal and interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After that, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment
as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person. 
  

	 	Section 8.6.	Reinstatement. 

 If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money
deposited with respect to Securities of any Series in accordance with Article VIII by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such Series and under the Securities of such Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Article VIII until
such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on or any Additional Amounts
with respect to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee
or Paying Agent after payment in full to the Holders. 
 ARTICLE IX. 

AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS 
  

	 	Section 9.1.	Without Consent of Holders. 

 The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this
Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series without the consent of any Securityholder: 
 (a) to cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 
 (b) to comply with Article V; 

(c) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; 

(d) to add guarantees with respect to Securities of any Series or secure Securities of any Series; 

(e) to surrender any of the Company’s rights or powers under this Indenture; 

(f) to add covenants or events of default for the benefit of the holders of Securities of any Series;

 39 

 (h) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any
Securityholder; 
 (i) to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Securities of
any Series as permitted by this Indenture; 
 (j) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by
a successor 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 the trusts hereunder by more than one
Trustee; 
 (k) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this
Indenture under the TIA; or 
 (l) to conform the text of this Indenture, any Board Resolution, supplemental indenture,
Officer’s Certificate or the Securities to any provision set forth in the description of debt securities or description of notes sections of any prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to the relevant Series of Securities. 

 

	 	Section 9.2.	With Consent of Holders. 

 The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental
indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender
offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner
the rights of the Securityholders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained
in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities with respect to such Series. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any
proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After a supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall send to the Holders of Securities
affected thereby, a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to send or publish such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
supplemental indenture or waiver. 
  

	 	Section 9.3.	Limitations. 

 Without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or
waiver may not: 
 (a) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement
or waiver; 

  
 40 

 (b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including
default interest) on any Security; 
 (c) reduce the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce
the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation; 
 (d) reduce
the principal amount of Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof; 
 (e) waive a Default or
Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
such Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 
 (f) make the principal of or
interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency other than that stated in the Security; 
 (g) make any change
in Sections 6.8, 6.13 or this Section 9.3; or 
 (h) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security,
provided that such redemption is made at the Company’s option. 
  

	 	Section 9.4.	Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

 Every amendment to this Indenture or the
Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 
  

	 	Section 9.5.	Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

 Until an amendment is set forth in a supplemental
indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s
Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date
of the supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective. 
 Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every
Securityholder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has
consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security. 

The Company 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 

  
 41 

 
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 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. 

 

	 	Section 9.6.	Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 

 The Company or the Trustee may place an
appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon receipt of a Company Order in
accordance with Section 2.3 new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver. 
  

	 	Section 9.7.	Trustee Protected. 

 In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both complying with Section 10.4. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures upon delivery of such an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel or both, except that the
Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

	 	Section 10.15.	Securities in a Foreign Currency. 

 Unless otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a
supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders
of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series or all Series affected by a particular action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in more
than one currency, then the principal amount of Securities of such Series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be determined by converting any such other currency into a currency that is designated upon
issuance of any particular Series of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Indenture with respect to a particular
Series of Securities, such conversion shall be at the spot rate for the purchase of the designated currency as published in The Financial Times in the “Currency Rates” section (or, if The Financial Times is no longer published, or if such
information is no longer available in The Financial Times, such source as may be selected in good faith by the Company) on any date of determination. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in
respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency other than Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

All decisions and determinations provided for in the preceding paragraph shall, in the absence of manifest error, to the extent permitted by
law, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Trustee and all Holders. 
  

	 	Section 10.16.	Judgment Currency. 

 The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do
so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest or other amount on the Securities of any Series (the “Required
Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The
City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with
normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations
under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than
the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be
enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be
payable, and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For 

  
 46 

 
purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York on which banking institutions are authorized
or required by law, regulation or executive order to close. 
  

	 	Section 10.17.	Force Majeure.

or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military
disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable best efforts
which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 
  

	 	Section 10.18.	Waiver of Jury Trial. 

 EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE, THE PAYING AGENT AND THE
REGISTRAR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY. 
  

	 	Section 10.19.	Jurisdiction. 

 EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE, THE PAYING AGENT AND THE
REGISTRAR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN

OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE, THE PAYING AGENT AND THE REGISTRAR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING
OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

 ARTICLE XI. 

SINKING FUNDS 
  

	 	Section 11.1.	Applicability of Article. 

 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any
sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series if so provided by the terms of such Securities pursuant to Section 2.2 and except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this
Indenture. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to
as a “mandatory sinking fund payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of
Securities of any Series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms
of the Securities of such Series. 
  

	 	Section 11.2.	Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

 The Company may, in satisfaction
of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable
(other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased by the Company or
redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions
pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officer’s Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days
prior to the date on which the process of selecting Securities for redemption in the manner specified in Section 3.2 has begun, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified in such Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2, the principal amount
of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such action be
taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a
Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount
equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Company. 

  
 48 

	 	Section 11.3.	Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

 Not less than 45 days (unless otherwise
indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate in respect of a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the
portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 11.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and
the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of
Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date will be selected in the manner specified in Section 3.2 and the Company shall send or cause to be sent a notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in and in accordance with Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and
in the manner stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.

 ARTICLE 3  

The covenants set forth in this Section 3 shall apply to the Series E Notes. Except as otherwise expressly provided below, the covenants
set forth in the Indenture are in all respects ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect. 
 Section 3.01
Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness. (a) Aggregate Debt Test. The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Indebtedness, including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness,
if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of that Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all of the Company’s outstanding Indebtedness and all of the
outstanding Indebtedness of its Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, is greater than 65% of the sum of, without duplication: 

(1) the Total Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter; and 

(2) the aggregate purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the aggregate amount of any securities
offering proceeds received, to the extent the proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Indebtedness, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of that fiscal quarter, including the
proceeds obtained from the incurrence of that additional Indebtedness, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. 
 (b)
Debt Service Test. The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Indebtedness, including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness, if the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to the Interest Expense for
the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which the additional Indebtedness is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5:1 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of
that Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds therefrom (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP), and calculated on the assumption that: 

(1) the Indebtedness and any other Indebtedness, including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness, incurred by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries since the first day of the relevant four-quarter period had been incurred, and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to repay or retire other Indebtedness, had occurred, on the first day of the period; 

(2) the repayment or retirement of any of the Company’s other Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness repaid or retired with the proceeds
of any other Indebtedness, which repayment or retirement shall be calculated pursuant to clause (1) of this Section) or any other Indebtedness of the Company’s Subsidiaries since the first day of the relevant four-quarter period had
occurred on the first day of the period; and 
 (3) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
of any asset or group of assets, in any such case with a fair market value in excess of $1 million, since the first day of the relevant four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale 

  
 6 

 
or asset purchase or sale or otherwise, that acquisition or disposition had occurred as of the first day of the period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to the acquisition or
disposition being included in the pro forma calculation. 
 If the Indebtedness giving rise to the need to make the calculation set forth in this
Section 3.01(b) or any other Indebtedness incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating rate then, for purposes of calculating the Interest Expense, the interest rate on that Indebtedness shall be
computed on a pro forma basis as if the average rate which would have been in effect during the entire relevant four-quarter period had been the applicable rate for the entire period. 

(c) Secured Debt Test. The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur Secured Indebtedness, if,
immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of the Secured Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds from the Secured Indebtedness on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance
with GAAP, of all of the Company’s outstanding Secured Indebtedness and all outstanding Secured Indebtedness of its Subsidiaries is greater than 40% of the sum of, without duplication: 

(1) the Total Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter; and 

(2) the aggregate purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the aggregate amount of any securities
offering proceeds received, to the extent those proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Indebtedness, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of the relevant fiscal quarter,
including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of that additional Indebtedness, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. 

(d) Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets. The Company will have at all times Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the
aggregate principal amount of all of its outstanding Unsecured Debt and the outstanding Unsecured Debt of the Company’s Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. 

The calculation of the ratios set forth in this Section 3.01 shall be undertaken by the Company. 

Section 3.02 Future Guarantees. The Company shall cause each Subsidiary (including each Subsidiary that the Company
acquires or creates after the date hereof) that subsequent to the date hereof guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company (hereinafter such Subsidiary, a “Future Subsidiary Guarantor” and such guarantees, the “Guaranteed
Indebtedness”) to fully and unconditionally guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture with respect to payment and performance of the Series E Notes to the same extent that such
Guaranteed Indebtedness is guaranteed by the Future Subsidiary Guarantors. Within 60 days of the date of such occurrence, such Future Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute or deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture making such Future Subsidiary
Guarantor a party to the Indenture for such purpose. If the Guaranteed Indebtedness is (A) pari passu in right of payment with the Series E Notes, then the guarantee 

  
 7 

 
of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be pari passu in right of payment with, or subordinated in right of payment to, the guarantee of the Series E Notes required hereby or
(B) subordinated in right of payment to the Series E Notes, then the guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to the guarantee of the Series E Notes required hereby at least to the extent that the
Guaranteed Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Series E Notes. Upon the complete and unconditional release of the Future Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, such Future Subsidiary
Guarantor’s guarantee of the Series E Notes shall be automatically released. 
 Section 3.03 Limitation on Liens.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall secure any Indebtedness under the Credit Facility or the Existing Senior Notes by a Lien or suffer to exist any Lien on their respective properties or assets securing Indebtedness under the Credit
Facility or the Existing Senior Notes unless effective provision is made to secure the Series E Notes equally and ratably with the Lien securing such Indebtedness for so long as Indebtedness under the Credit Facility or Existing Senior Notes is
secured by such Lien. 
 Section 3.04 Events of Default. For purposes of the Series E Notes, the following clause shall
be added as Section 6.1(g) of the Indenture: 
 “(g) a default in (a) Secured Indebtedness of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries with an aggregate principal amount in excess of 5% of Total Assets, or (b) other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $150 million, in either case,
(A) resulting from the failure to pay principal or interest when due (after giving effect to any applicable extensions or grace or cure periods) or (B) as a result of which the maturity of such Indebtedness has been accelerated prior to
its final stated maturity.” 
 ARTICLE 4 

Section 4.01 For purposes of the Series E Notes, Section 2.7 of the Indenture is hereby supplemented with, and where inconsistent
replaced by, the following provisions: 
 (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole
except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor
Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Certificated Notes if: 
 (1) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice
from the Depositary (A) that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary or (B) that it is no longer
a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; 

(2) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Certificated Notes; or 

(3) upon request of the Trustee or Holders of a majority of the principal amount of outstanding Series E Notes if there shall have occurred
and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Series E Notes. 

  
 8 

 Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (1), (2) or
(3) above, Certificated Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.8 and 2.11 of the Indenture. A Global Note
may not be exchanged for another Series E Note other than as provided in this Section 4.01(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 4.01(b) or (c) hereof. 

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global
Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth
herein. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable: 

(1) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be transferred to persons who
take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 4.01(b)(1). 

(2) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of
beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 4.01(b)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either: (A)(1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary
in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and
(2) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase; or (B)(1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the
Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Certificated Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and (2) instructions given by the
Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the person in whose name such Certificated Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (B)(1) above; 

(c) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes for Certificated Notes. If any holder of a beneficial interest in a
Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Certificated Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Certificated Note, then, if the exchange or transfer complies with the
requirements of Section 4.01(a) of this First Supplemental Indenture and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01(b)(2) of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the
applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly

pursuant to Section 4.01(f) hereof, and the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the person designated in the instructions a Certificated Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Certificated Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 4.01(c) shall be registered in such name
or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee shall
deliver such Certificated Notes to the persons in whose names such Series E Notes are so registered. 
 (d) Transfer and Exchange of
Certificated Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. A Holder of a Certificated Note may exchange such Certificated Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Certificated Notes to a person who takes delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or registration of transfer, the Trustee shall cancel the applicable Certificated Note and increase or cause to be increased
the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes. If any such exchange or registration of transfer from a Certificated Note to a beneficial interest in a Global Note is effected pursuant to this Section 4.01(d) at a time when a Global
Note has not yet been issued, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section 2.3 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of Certificated Notes so transferred. 
 (e) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes for Certificated Notes. A
Holder of Certificated Notes may transfer such Certificated Notes to a person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Certificated Note. Upon request by a Holder of Certificated Notes and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this
Section 4.01(e), the Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Certificated Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder must present or surrender to the Registrar the Certificated Notes duly
endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Registrar
shall register the Certificated Notes pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof. 
 (f) Global Note Legend. To the extent
required by the Depositary, each Global Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 “THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY
(AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) 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 (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS

MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.”

 (g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been
exchanged for Certificated Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.12
of the Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for
Certificated Notes, the principal amount of Series E Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to
reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased
accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.2 
  

	1.	Interest. 

 Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successors under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate of 4.000% per annum
from May 15, 2015 until maturity. To the extent it is lawful, the Company promises to pay interest on any interest payment due but unpaid on such principal amount at a rate of 4.000% per annum compounded semi-annually. 

 

	2 	To be included only on Global Notes deposited with DTC as Depositary. 

  
 A-4 

 The Company will pay interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year
(each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing June 15, 2015. Interest on the Series E Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid on the Securities, from the date
of the original issuance. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment. 

 The Company shall pay interest on
the Series E Securities (except defaulted interest) to the persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to
collect principal payments. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series E Securities will be payable in United States Dollars at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York or at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Series E Securities at the addresses set forth upon the registry books of the Company; provided,
however, Holders of Global Securities will be entitled to receive interest payments (other than at maturity) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in
writing by the Trustee not fewer than 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Such wire instructions, upon receipt by the Trustee, shall remain in effect until revoked by such Holder. No service charge will be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

 

	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar. 

 Initially, The Bank of New
York Mellon will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may, subject to certain exceptions, act as Paying Agent,
Registrar or co-Registrar. 
  

	4.	Indenture. 

 The Company issued the Series E Securities
under an Indenture, dated as of May 15, 2015, as supplemented (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The Series E
Securities are unlimited in aggregate principal amount. The terms of the Series E Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the
Indenture. The Series E Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of the Series E Securities are referred to the Indenture and said Act for a statement of them. The Securities are senior, general obligations of the Company. Each Holder
of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions of the Indenture, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be provided in the Indenture and
(c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purpose. 

  
 A-5 

	5.	Redemption. 

 Prior to 90 days before their Stated
Maturity, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice, the Company may redeem the Series E Securities in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Make-Whole Premium,
together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or
prior to the applicable redemption date). Notice of a redemption of the Series E Securities made pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be given in the manner set forth in Section 3.3 of the Indenture; provided
however, that any such notice need not set forth the redemption price but need only set forth the calculation thereof as described in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph 5. The redemption price, calculated as
aforesaid, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Company to the Trustee no later than one Business Day prior to the redemption date. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, within the period beginning on or after 90 days prior to their Stated Maturity, upon not less than 15 nor
more than 60 days’ notice, the Company may redeem the Series E Securities in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not
including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the applicable redemption date). 

The Company is not prohibited from acquiring the Series E Securities by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to an issuer
tender offer, in open market transactions, or otherwise, assuming such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture. 

The Series E Securities will not have the benefit of a sinking fund. 

 

	6.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

 The Series E
Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may register the transfer of, or exchange Series E Securities in accordance with, the Indenture. The Registrar may require a
Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Series E Securities
(a) selected for redemption except the unredeemed portion of any Series E Security being redeemed in part or (b) for a period beginning 15 Business Days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redemption and ending at
the close of business on the day of such mailing. 
  

	7.	Persons Deemed Owners. 

 The registered Holder of a
Series E Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

	8.	Unclaimed Money. 

 If money for the payment of principal
or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent(s) will pay the money back to the Company at its written request. After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent(s) with respect to such money shall cease.

  

	9.	Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity. 

 Except as
set forth in the Indenture, if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, U.S. legal tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Series E Securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the redemption date of such principal or
installment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Series E Securities, the Company will be discharged from certain provisions of the Indenture and the Series E Securities (including the restrictive covenants described in paragraph 11
below, but excluding its obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series E Securities). Upon satisfaction of certain additional conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company may elect to have its obligations and
the obligations of any Subsidiary that becomes a guarantor, if applicable, discharged with respect to outstanding Series E Securities. 
  

	10.	Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. 

 The Company, any
Subsidiary that becomes a guarantor, if applicable, and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture for certain limited purposes without the consent of the Holders. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Series E Securities may
be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Series E Securities then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision
may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Series E Securities then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may under certain circumstances amend or
supplement the Indenture or the Series E Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Series E Security. 

 

	11.	Restrictive Covenants. 

 The Indenture imposes certain
limitations on the ability of the Company and any Subsidiary to, among other things, incur additional Indebtedness, incur Liens, merge or consolidate with any other person or transfer (by lease, assignment or otherwise) substantially all of the
properties and assets of the Company. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must periodically report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations. 

  
 A-7 

	12.	Successor. 

 When a successor assumes all the obligations
of its predecessor under the Series E Securities and the Indenture, the predecessor will be released from those obligations. 
  

	13.	Defaults and Remedies. 

 If an Event of Default with
respect to the Series E Securities occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company), then either the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Series E Securities then outstanding may declare all Series E Securities to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of the Series E Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Series E
Securities, except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Series E Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Series E Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power with respect to such Series E Securities. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Series E Securities notice of any continuing Default or Event of
Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 
  

	14.	Trustee and Agent Dealings with Company. 

 The Trustee
and each Agent under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or any Subsidiary that becomes a guarantor of the Series E Notes, if applicable, or any of
their Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with such persons as if it were not the Trustee or such agent. 
  

	15.	No Recourse Against Others. 

 No recourse for the payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Series E Securities or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary that
becomes a guarantor of the Series E Notes, if applicable, in the Indenture, or in the Series E Securities or because of the creation of any Indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, partner, stockholder, officer,
director, employee or controlling person of the Company or any Subsidiary that becomes a guarantor of the Series E Notes, if applicable, or of any successor person thereof, except as an obligor or guarantor of the Series E Securities pursuant to the
Indenture. Each Holder, by accepting the Series E Securities, waives and releases all such liability. 
  

	16.	Authentication. 

 This Series E Security shall not be
valid until the Trustee or authenticating agent signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Series E Security.
