payments of principal of or interest, if any, on the Securities of the Series are to be made in one or more currencies or currency
units other than that or those in which such Securities are denominated, the manner in which the exchange rate with respect to
such payments will be determined;

 

(w)         the
securities exchange(s) on which the Securities of the Series will be listed, if any;

 

(x)          additions
or deletions to or changes in the provisions relating to covenant defeasance and legal defeasance;

 

(y)          additions
or deletions to or changes in the provisions relating to satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture;

 

(z)          additions
or deletions to or changes in the provisions relating to the modification of the Indenture both with and without the consent of
holders of Securities of the Series issued under the Indenture; and

 

(aa)         any
other terms of the Securities of the Series (which terms may modify, supplement or delete any provision of this Indenture with
respect to such Series; provided, however, that no such term may modify or delete any provision hereof if imposed by the TIA; and
provided, further, that any modification or deletion of the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee hereunder shall have been
consented to in writing by the Trustee).

 

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, and the authorized
principal amount of any Series may be increased to provide for issuances of additional Securities of such Series, unless otherwise
provided in such Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate.

 

Section 2.3           Execution
and Authentication.

 

One 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 unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate.

 

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 2.9.

 

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 conclusively 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 11.4, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 11.4. Such
Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall also state that:

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

(A)       the
form of such Securities has been duly authorized by the Company and has been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture and the related Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture hereto;

 

(B)       the
terms of such Securities have been duly authorized by the Company and have been established in conformity with the provisions of
this Indenture and the related Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture hereto;

 

(C)       such
Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion
of Counsel, will have been duly issued under this Indenture and the related Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate or
supplemental indenture hereto, and will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits
provided by this Indenture and the related Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture hereto, and
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to customary exceptions; and

 

(D)       the
Officer’s Certificate shall also state that no Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities of any Series shall
have occurred and be continuing or would be caused by such additional issuance.

 

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 determines that such action would expose the Trustee to personal
liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities or if the issue of such Securities would affect the Trustee’s
own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee.

 

With respect to Securities of a Series offered
over a period of time, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities, the
form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and other
documents delivered pursuant to this Section in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such Series unless and
until such Opinion of Counsel or other documents have been superseded or revoked.

 

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”) and where Securities of
such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”).

 

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 or Paying Agent. If at any time the Company shall
fail to maintain any such required Registrar or Paying 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.

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

The Company may also from time to time designate
one or more co-registrars or additional paying 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 and Paying
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 or additional paying agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying
Agent” includes any additional paying agent.

 

The Company hereby appoints the Trustee the
initial Registrar and Paying Agent for each Series unless another Registrar or Paying 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 promptly notify the Trustee 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 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.

 

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,
or shall cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date, but in any event at
least once every six months, 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, upon receipt of a Company Order, 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).

 

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

 

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 days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for
redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities
of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected,
called or being called for redemption in part.

 

The Trustee shall authenticate any Securities
in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3.

 

    	 	9	 

     

    

 

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 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.

 

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, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and make available
for delivery 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 (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (b) such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon receipt
of a Company Order, 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 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.

 

Subject to Section 2.10, 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 in 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 as of 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the date of Maturity of Securities
of a Series or on any day thereafter (in the case money is deposited by the Company following the date of Maturity) money sufficient
to pay such Securities payable on such date of Maturity or on any such later date, as the case may be, then on and after such date
of Maturity or such later date, as the case may be, such Securities of the Series cease to be outstanding and interest on them
ceases to accrue.

 

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

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

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 an 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 knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing
and identifying all Notes, if any known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the Company or any Affiliate
of the Company, and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept and rely upon such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence
of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any determination.

 

Section 2.11         Temporary
Securities.

 

Until definitive Securities are ready for
delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon receipt of 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, replacement or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer,
exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and deliver such canceled Securities to the Company, unless the Company otherwise
directs; provided that the Trustee shall not be required to destroy such Securities. The Company may not issue new Securities to
replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

Section 2.13         Defaulted
Interest.

 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest
on 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 such special record date and the related payment date. At least 15 days before such special record date, the Company shall
mail to the Trustee and to each Securityholder of the Series a notice that states such special record date, the related payment
date and the amount of interest to be paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner.

 

Section 2.14         Special
Record Dates.

 

(a)          The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, set a record date for the purpose of determining the identity of Holders entitled to
consent to any supplement, amendment or waiver permitted by this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, the Holders of such Series
and Securities outstanding on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to consent to such supplement, amendment
or waiver or revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No consent
shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of
such Series and Securities required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked
within such 90-day period.

 

    	 	11	 

     

    

 

(b)          The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of any Series
of Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of any notice of Default, any declaration of acceleration, any request to
institute proceedings or any other similar direction. If a record date is fixed, the Holders of such Series and Securities outstanding
on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether
or not such Holders remain Holders

after such record date; provided, however, that no such action
shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the date 90 days after such record date.

 

(c)          To
the extent reasonably practicable, the Company shall give the Trustee a 15-day advance written notice of any special record date
set in accordance with this Section 2.14.

 

Section 2.15         Global
Securities.

 

(a)          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 Depository
for such Global Security or Securities.

 

(b)          Transfer
and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in addition thereto,
any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders
other than the Depository for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depository registered as a clearing agency
under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable (subject to the procedures of the Depository) or (iii) an Event
of Default with respect to the Securities represented by such Global Security shall have happened and be continuing. Any Global
Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names
as the Depository 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 2.15(b),
a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository with respect to such Global Security to a nominee
of such Depository, by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by the Depository
or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.

 

(c)          Legend.
Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

 

“Unless this certificate is presented
by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), New York, New York,
to the issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name
of Cede & Co. or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede
& Co. or such other entity as 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.”

 

“Transfer of this Global Security shall
be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to DTC, to nominees of DTC or to a successor thereof or such successor’s
nominee and limited to transfers made in accordance with the restrictions set forth in the Indenture referred to herein.”

 

    	 	12	 

     

    

 

(d)          Acts
of Holders. The Depository, 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 the
Indenture.

 

(e)          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.

 

(f)          Consents,
Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.15(e), 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 Depository 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 2.16         CUSIP
Numbers.

 

The Company in issuing the Securities may
use “CUSIP” and/or other similar security identifying numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall
use “CUSIP” numbers (and/or any such other security identifying 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. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

 

Section 2.17         Persons
Deemed Owners.

 

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

 

No holder of any beneficial interest in any
Global Security held on its behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security,
and such Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such
Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests
of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

 

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 in the form
of an Officer’s Certificate, of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The
Company shall give the notice at least 45 days before the redemption date (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee).

 

    	 	13	 

     

    

 

Section 3.2           Selection
of Securities to be Redeemed.

 

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular
Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate, if less than all the Securities of a
Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of such Series for redemption in compliance with the requirements
of the Depository, or if the Securities of such Series are not held through the Depository or the Depository prescribes no method
of selection, on a pro rata basis or by lot, in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures, subject to adjustments
so that no Security in an unauthorized denomination remains outstanding after such redemption or purchase; provided, however, that
no Security of $2,000 in aggregate principal amount of less shall be redeemed in part.

 

In the event of partial redemption, the Trustee
shall make the selection from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select
for redemption a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such Series; provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal
amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination)
for such Security. 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 give a notice of redemption by first-class mail (or deliver electronically
in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository) to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed, except that
redemption notices may be given more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance
of the Series of Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles VIII or XI hereof.

  

The notice shall identify the Securities of
the Series to be redeemed and shall state:

 

(a)          the
redemption date;

 

(b)          the
redemption price (or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof);

 

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

 

(d)          that
Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

 

(e)          that
interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

 

(f)          the
CUSIP number, and that no representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such
notice or printed on the Securities; and

 

(g)          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 that the Company shall have delivered
to the Trustee, at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as the Trustee may agree) before notice of redemption is required
to be sent or caused to be sent to Holder pursuant to this Section 3.3 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee),
an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such
notice as provided in this Section 3.3.

 

    	 	14	 

     

    

 

Section 3.4           Effect
of Notice of Redemption.

 

Once notice of redemption is mailed or published
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 specified in such notice.

 

Notice of any redemption, whether in connection
with an equity offering, other transaction or otherwise, may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption
or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to,
completion of a transaction or an event such as an equity offering, debt offering or change of control of the Company. In addition,
if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s
discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption
may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the
redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the
redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another

person (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation) or (b) sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another person,

the Company shall be the continuing entity or (B) the successor person shall be a corporation, trust, limited liability company,
partnership or other entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District
of Columbia that expressly assumes, by an indenture supplemental hereto in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, executed
and delivered to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture and, for each Security
that by its terms provides for conversion, shall have provided for the right to convert such Security in accordance with its terms;

 

(ii)         immediately
after such transaction, no Event of Default exists and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event
of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and

 

(iii)        the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation,
merger, sale, lease, transfer or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction,

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; or

 

(b)          default
in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on any Security of that Series; or

 

(c)          default
in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due in respect of any Security of that Series; or

 

(d)          default
in the performance of any other covenant of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant that has been included in this
Indenture solely for the benefit of any Series of Securities other than that Series), which default continues uncured for the period
and after the notice specified below; or

 

(e)          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

 

(f)          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,

 

(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

 

(g)          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.

 

A Default under clause (d) above is not an
Event of Default with respect to a particular Series of Securities until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of more
than 50% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that Series notify the Company and the Trustee of the Default,
and the Company does not cure the Default within 60 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand
that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” Such notice shall be given by the Trustee if
so requested in writing by the Holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that Series.

 

Section 6.2           Acceleration.

 

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(e) or
(f)) then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of more than 50% 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(e) or (f) 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, 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 the rescission
would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest
or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent
Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section 6.3           Other
Remedies.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities
of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment
of principal of and, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Securities
or this Indenture.

 

The Trustee for such Securities may maintain
a proceeding even if it does not possess any of such Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission
by the Trustee or any Holder of Securities in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair
the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent
permitted by law.

 

Section 6.4           Waiver
of Past Defaults.

 

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee for such Securities may on behalf of
the Holders of all of such Securities waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to such Securities and its consequences
hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest
on, such Securities or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without
the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security of the Series affected; provided, however, that the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration of such Securities and
its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration, in accordance with Section 6.2. 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.

 

    	 	19	 

     

    

 

Section 6.5           Control
by Majority.

 

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
exercising any remedy available to the Trustee for such Securities or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the
Trustee for any Series of Securities may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that such Trustee
determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of such Securities or that may involve the Trustee in personal
liability.

 

Section 6.6           Limitation
on Suits.

 

A Holder of any Series of Securities may pursue
a remedy with respect to this Indenture or such Securities only if:

 

(a)          such
Holder gives to the Trustee for such Securities written notice that an Event of Default with respect to such Series is continuing;

 

(b)          Holders
of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such Series make a written request to the
Trustee for such Securities to pursue the remedy;

 

(c)          such
Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee for such Securities security or indemnity for any, loss, expense
or liability that may be incurred by bringing the action satisfactory to such Trustee;

 

(d)          such
Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of the request; and

 

(e)          Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such Series do not give such Trustee a direction
inconsistent with such request.

 

A Holder of any Series of Securities may not
use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of such Series of Securities or to obtain a preference or priority
over another Holder of Securities of such Series.

 

Section 6.7           Rights
of Holders of Securities to Receive Payment.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security of any Series to receive payment of principal of and, premium, if any, and interest
on such Securities, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Securities (including, if applicable, in connection
with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not
be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

 

Section 6.8           Collection
Suit by Trustee.

 

If an Event of Default specified in Section
6.1(a), (b) or (c) hereof with respect to Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee for such Securities is
authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal
of and, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, such Securities and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent
lawful, overdue interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel.

 

    	 	20	 

     

    

 

Section 6.9           Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim.

 

The Trustee for each Series of Securities
is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of such Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee,
its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Securities for which it acts as trustee allowed in any judicial proceedings relative
to the Company (or any other obligor upon such Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to
collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of such Securities to make such payments to such Trustee, and in the
event that such Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Holders, to pay to such Trustee any amount
due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due such Trustee under the Indenture. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due such Trustee out of the estate in any such proceeding,
shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions,
dividends, money, securities and other properties that such Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation
or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize such Trustee
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder for which it acts as trustee any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of such Holder, or to authorize such Trustee to vote
in respect of the claim of any such Holder in any such proceeding.

 

Section 6.10         Priorities.

 

If the Trustee of any Series of Securities
collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

 

First: to the Trustee, the Agents,
and their respective agents and attorneys for amounts due under the Indenture, including payment of all compensation, expenses
and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

 

Second: to Holders of such Securities
for amounts due and unpaid on such Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority
of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium, if any and interest, respectively;
and

 

Third: to the Company or to such party
as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

 

Subject to Section 2.14 hereof, the Trustee
may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Securities pursuant to this Section 6.10.

 

Section 6.11         Undertaking
for Costs.

 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right
or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against any Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a trustee, a court in
its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the
court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in
the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11
does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Security pursuant to Section 6.6 hereof, or a suit by Holders
of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series.

the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs; provided that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction

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

confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts contained therein).

(j)          In

(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, and each agent, custodian and other

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

Sections 7.10 and 7.11. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the Company; provided, however,
that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest the Trustee must (i) eliminate such conflict within 90 days of acquiring
such conflicting interest, (ii) apply to the SEC for permission to continue acting as Trustee or (iii) resign.

 

Section 7.4           Trustee’s
Disclaimer.

 

The Trustee makes no representation as to
the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds
from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture, in the Securities or in
any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities other than its authentication of such Securities.

 

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 actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
(as provided in Section 7.2(h) hereof), the Trustee shall send to each Securityholder of the Securities of that Series in the manner
provided by in TIA § 313(c), notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. 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 the Trustee 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 May 15 in each year following
the issuance of a Series of Securities under this Indenture, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders, as their

to the extent required under, TIA § 313(a).

 

    	 	24	 

     

    

 

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing

that Series are listed, if any. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when Securities of any Series are listed on any stock
exchange.

 

Section 7.7           Compensation
and Indemnity.

 

The Company shall pay to the Trustee and the
Agents from time to time such compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall 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 and the Agents upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable
compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

 

The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee,
the Agents, any predecessor Trustee and each of their officers, directors, employees, counsel and agents against any loss, liability
or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined
by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it except as set forth in the next paragraph in the performance of its duties under this
Indenture as Trustee or Agent and in connection with its acceptance of the trust under this Indenture (including the costs and
expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.7) and including the costs and expenses of defending
itself or themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person)). 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 the Company is prejudiced or forfeits rights or defenses by such failure to be
notified. 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 shall 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 negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and un-appealable
decision.

 

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 pursuant to Section 8.4, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities of
that Series.

 

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

 

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

 

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 at least 30 days prior to such removal. 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;

 

    	 	25	 

     

    

 

(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 with
respect to the Securities of a Series or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event
being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such Series. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
then outstanding Securities of such Series may appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series 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 10% 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 Series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. The retiring Trustee
shall have no liability or responsibility for the action or inaction of any successor Trustee. 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 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.

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.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

 

Section 8.1           Option
to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

The Company may at any time elect to have
either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof be applied to all outstanding Securities of any Series upon compliance with the conditions set
forth below in this Article VIII.

 

    	 	26	 

     

    

 

Section 8.2           Legal
Defeasance and Discharge.

 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section
8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.2, the Company will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 8.4 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Securities of such
Series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose,
Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding
Securities of such Series, which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.5
hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations
under such Securities and this Indenture (and the Trustee for such Securities, on demand of and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder:

 

(a)          the
rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of such Series to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium,
if any, on, such Securities when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.4 hereof;

 

(b)          the
Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Article II hereof;

 

(c)          the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee for such Securities hereunder and the Company’s obligations
in connection therewith; and

 

(d)          this
Article VIII.

 

Subject to compliance with this Article VIII,
the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.3 hereof.

 

Section 8.3           Covenant
Defeasance.

 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section
8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, the Company will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 8.4 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.3 and 4.5, Section 5.1, and
covenants specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, in accordance with
Section 2.2, with respect to the outstanding Securities of the applicable Series on and after the date the conditions set forth
in Section 8.4 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and such Securities will thereafter be deemed
not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders of such Securities
(and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding”
for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).
For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of such Series, the Company may omit
to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether
directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an
Event of Default under Section 6.1 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities
will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to
this Section 8.3, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, Sections 6.1(d) or 6.1(g) hereof
will not constitute Events of Default.

 

Section 8.4           Conditions
to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof with respect to Securities of any Series:

 

(a)          the
Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee for such Securities, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities,
cash in Dollars, non-callable Government Securities (or, in the case of Securities denominated in a single currency other than
U.S. dollars, foreign government obligations), or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion
of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of,
and premium, if any, and interest on, and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the outstanding Securities of such
Series on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify
whether such Securities are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

 

    	 	27	 

     

    

 

(b)          in
the case of an election under Section 8.2 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee for such Securities an Opinion of Counsel
confirming that:

 

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

  

(2)         since
the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law,

 

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon
such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders and beneficial owners of the outstanding Securities of such Series will
not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will
be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

 

(c)          in
the case of an election under Section 8.3 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee for such Securities an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the Holders and beneficial owners of such Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States
federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on
the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

 

(d)          no
Default or Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other
than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not
result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which
the Company is bound;

 

(e)          such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material
agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;

 

(f)          the
Company must deliver to the Trustee for such Securities an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by
the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of such Securities over the other creditors of the Company with the intent
of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and

 

(g)          the
Company must deliver to the Trustee for such Securities an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

 

Section 8.5           Deposited
Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

Subject to Section 8.6 hereof, all money and
non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively
for purposes of this Section 8.5, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof in respect of the outstanding Securities
of any Series will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture,
to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine,
to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest,
but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

  

    	 	28	 

     

    

 

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee
against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant
to Section 8.4 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which
by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities of the applicable Series.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII
to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or
non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.4 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered
to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.4 hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then
be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

Section 8.6           Repayment
to Company.

 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any
Series of Securities and remaining unclaimed for one year after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and
payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the
Holders of such Securities will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon
cease.

 

Section 8.7           Reinstatement.

 

If, in connection with a Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance, the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any Dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance
with Section 8.5, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the applicable Securities will be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying
Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.5; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment
of principal of or interest on any such Securities following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated
to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

After a supplemental indenture or waiver under
this section becomes effective, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holders of Securities affected thereby a notice briefly
describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail 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.

Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

 

(f)          make
the principal or premium, if any, of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency other than that stated in the
Security;

with Trust Indenture Act.

 

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

 

Section 9.5           Revocation
and Effect of Consents.

 

(a)          Until
an amendment, supplement or 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 subject to
Section 9.5(d) may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation
before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.

 

(b)          An
amendment, supplement or waiver effective in accordance with its terms will thereafter bind every Holder.

 

    	 	31	 

     

    

 

(c)          For
purposes of this Indenture, the consent of the Holder of a Global Security shall be deemed to include any consent delivered by
any member of, or participant in, any Depository, any nominees thereof and their respective successors and assigns, or such other
depository institution hereinafter appointed by the Company (“Depository Entity”) by electronic means in accordance
with the Automated Tender Offer Procedures system or other customary procedures of, and pursuant to authorization by, such Depository
Entity.

  

(d)          The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to
any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of 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 revoke any consent previously given, 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. The Company shall inform the Trustee
of the fixed record date, if applicable.

 

(e)          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.

 

Section 9.6           Notation
on or Exchange of Securities.

 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation
about an amendment, supplement 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, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate 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 IX 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 conclusively
relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture
is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. The Trustee may,
but shall not be obligated to, enter into any supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, obligations
or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

 

Section 10.1         Satisfaction
and Discharge.

 

This Indenture will be discharged and will
cease to be of further effect as to a Series of Securities issued hereunder, when:

 

(a)          either:

 

(i)          all
such Securities that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities that have been replaced or paid and Securities
for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation; or

 

    	 	32	 

     

    

 

(ii)         all
such Securities that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing
of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company has irrevocably deposited
or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, cash
in Dollars, non-callable Government Securities (or, in the case of Securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S.
dollars, foreign government obligations), or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration
of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

 

(b)          no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default
resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;

 

(c)          the
Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

 

(d)          the
Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee for such Securities under this Indenture to apply the deposited money
toward the payment of such Securities at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

 

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officer’s Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee for such Securities stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge
have been satisfied, and all fees and expenses of the Trustee shall have been paid.

 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of clause (a) of this Section 10.1,
the provisions of Sections 10.2 and 8.6 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 10.1 will be deemed to discharge
those provisions of Section 7.7 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 

Section 10.2         Application
of Trust Money.

 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.6 hereof,
all money or Government Securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof shall be held in trust and applied
by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities with respect to with such deposit was made and this Indenture, to the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as such Trustee may
determine, to the persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has
been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to
apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.1 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason
of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application,
the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the applicable Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, or premium,
if any, or interest on, 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 Government Securities held by the Trustee or
Paying Agent.

Section 11.15         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 a coin or currency other
than Dollars, 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 that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate at such time.
For purposes of this Section 11.15, “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in New York City
for cable transfers of that currency as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. If such Market Exchange Rate is not
available for any reason with respect to such currency, the Company shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability on
its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of the most recent available date, or quotations from one or
more major banks in The City of New York or in the country of issue of the currency in question or such other quotations as the
Company shall deem appropriate. 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 of the Company
regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any alternative determination provided for in the preceding paragraph shall be in its sole
discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, to the extent permitted by law, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably
binding upon all Holders.

Originals.

 

The parties may sign any number of copies
of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy
is enough to prove this Indenture. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or “pdf”
transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu
of the original Indenture and signature pages for all purposes.

  

Section 11.17         Force
Majeure.

 

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible
or liable for any failure 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 that are consistent
with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

 

Section 11.18         U.S.A.
Patriot Act.

with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding
of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity

the Trustee with such information as it may request in order to satisfy the requirements of the USA Patriot Act.

 

ARTICLE
XII.

SINKING FUNDS

 

Section 12.1         Applicability
of Article.

 

The provisions of this Article XII shall be
applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series, except as otherwise permitted or required by any
form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this Indenture.

 

    	 	37	 

     

    

 

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 12.2. 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 12.2         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 (a) 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 (b) apply as a 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 Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption, 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 12.2, 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.

 

Section 12.3         Redemption
of Securities for Sinking Fund.

 

Not less than 45 days (unless otherwise indicated
in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture 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 12.2, 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 15 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 Trustee shall select
the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.2 and cause notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 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.

 EXHIBIT 10.4 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO 

NEWELL RUBBERMAID INC. 2013 INCENTIVE PLAN 

Newell Brands Inc. (the “Company”) hereby adopts this First Amendment (this “Amendment”) to the Newell
Rubbermaid Inc. 2013 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), effective as February 14, 2018 (the “Amendment Effective Date”). This Amendment will be effective as described herein. 

WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Company to amend the Plan, effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, to specify that the Board has
the discretion to accelerate the date as of which restrictions on Stock Units lapse in the event of termination of employment or service with the Company for Good Reason; and 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) may amend the Plan for this purpose pursuant to
Section 16 of the Plan without obtaining the approval of the Company’s stockholders. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of the
Amendment Effective Date, the Board hereby amends the Plan as follows: 
 I. 

Section 8.2(a) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

“The restrictions to which the Stock Units awarded hereunder are subject shall lapse as set forth in the Stock Unit Agreement; provided that in the case
of Stock Units granted to Participants who are Employees (other than Employees granted Stock Units in connection with their commencement of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary): (i) none of the restrictions that are based solely on the
elapse of time shall lapse earlier than with respect to one-third (1/3) of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Award on each of the three succeeding anniversaries of the date of the grant of
the Award and (ii) none of the restrictions that are based on the attainment of Performance Goals as described in Section 3.3 of the Plan shall lapse earlier than the first anniversary of the date of the grant of the Award. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, the Board shall have the discretion to accelerate the date as of which the restrictions lapse in the event of an Employee’s termination of employment with the Company, or a
Non-Employee Director’s termination of service on the Board, in each case, without Good Cause or for Good Reason, after giving consideration to Section 162(m) and Section 409A.” 

II. 
 Except as amended by this
Amendment, the Plan shall remain in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan.
