demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, or whether a quorum is present at a meeting of Holders of Securities, (a) the principal amount of an Original Issue
Discount Security that shall be deemed to be Outstanding for such purposes shall be the principal amount thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination if the Maturity
thereof were accelerated on such date pursuant to Section 502, (b) the principal amount of a Security denominated in a foreign currency shall be the U.S. dollar equivalent, determined by
the Company on the date of original issuance of such Security, of the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the U.S. dollar equivalent, determined on the date of

upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver or upon any such determination as to the presence of a quorum, only Securities which the Trustee knows to be so owned
shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so

provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any

SECTION
104. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one

SECTION
105. Acts of Holders; Record Dates.

        (a)   Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record thereof or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or
instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments and so
voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or the holding of any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities
shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1306. 

        The
Company may set in advance a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of Securities entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or
permitted under this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, those Persons who were Holders of Outstanding Securities at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons,
shall be entitled with respect to such Securities to take such action by vote or consent or to revoke any vote or consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after
such record date. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice thereof to be given to the Trustee in writing in the manner
provided in Section 106 and to the relevant Holders as set forth in Section 107. 

7

 

        (b)   The
fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a
notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where
such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the
execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 

        (c)   The
principal amount and serial numbers of Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register. 

        (d)   Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and
the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or
the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. Any Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent or other Act as to his Security or portion of his Security; provided, however, that such
revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the Act becomes effective. 

SECTION
106. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.

        Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to,

Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or 

        (2)   the
Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in
writing to the Trustee by the Company, Attention: Corporate Secretary. 

SECTION
107. Notice to Holders; Waiver of Notice.

        Where
this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and
mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than
the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 

        In
case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service, or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders of Securities by mail, then such
notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case in which notice to Holders of Securities is given by
mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Security, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders
of Securities. 

        Where
this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such
waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in

SECTION

        In
any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of principal and interest (and premium and Additional Amounts, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made
on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity,  provided that no
interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated

recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, against any incorporator, subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, officer, director or employee of the Company or the Trustee or

SECTION

        "This

	 	 	U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee
	

 	
 	

By	

 
	 	 	 	
Authorized Signatory."

SECTION 203. Securities in Global Form.

        If
Securities of a series are issuable in global form, as contemplated by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (10) of Section 301 and the provisions of
Section 302, any such Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of
Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any
endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and
upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified in such Security or in a Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or Section 304.
Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon
instructions given by the Person or Persons specified in such Security or in the applicable Company Order. With respect to the Securities of any series that are represented by a Security in global
form, the Company authorizes the execution and delivery by the Trustee of a letter of representations or other similar agreement or instrument in the form customarily provided for by the Depositary
appointed with respect to such global Security. Any Security in global form may be 

10

 

deposited
with the Depositary or its nominee, or may remain in the custody of the Security Custodian therefor pursuant to a FAST Balance Certificate Agreement or similar agreement between the Trustee
and the Depositary. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or
redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 103 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel. 

        Members
of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent Members") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Security issued in global form held on their behalf by the
Depositary, or the Security Custodian as its custodian, or under such global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Security Custodian and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee as the absolute owner of such global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the registered holder of a Security of any series issued in global form may
grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder of such series is entitled to take
under this Indenture or the Securities of such series and (ii) nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Security Custodian or any agent of the Company or the Security Custodian, from
giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary
practices governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Security. 

        Notwithstanding
Section 305, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this
paragraph. If the beneficial owners of interests in a permanent global Security are entitled to exchange such interest for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another
authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so
exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities of that series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such permanent global Security, executed by
the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global Security shall be surrendered from time to time in accordance with instructions given to
the Trustee and the Depositary (which instructions shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 103 or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) by the Depositary or such other
depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive Securities of
the same series without charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such permanent global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of other definitive
Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such permanent global Security to be exchanged; provided,
however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of that series is to be
redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such permanent global Security marked to evidence the partial exchange shall be returned by the
Trustee to the Depositary or such other depositary referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a definitive Security is issued in exchange for any
portion of a permanent global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such
office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of
Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Security,
but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such permanent global Security is
payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 

11

 

        Notwithstanding
Section 305, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, transfers of a Security issued in global form shall be limited to transfers of
such global Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Security issued in global form may be transferred in
accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary. Securities of any series shall be transferred to all beneficial owners of a global Security of such series in exchange for their beneficial
interests in that global Security if, and only if, either (1) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the global Security of such series
and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with respect to such series and is continuing and the
Security Registrar has received a request from the Depositary or the Trustee to issue Securities of such series in lieu of all or a portion of that global Security (in which case the Company shall
deliver Securities of such series within 30 days of such request) or (3) the Company determines not to have the Securities of such series represented by a global Security. 

        In
connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a global Security of any series to beneficial owners pursuant to this Section 203, the Security
Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the global Security of that series in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial
interest in the global Security of that series to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Securities of
that series shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Securities of the same series of like tenor and amount. 

        In
connection with the transfer of all the beneficial interests in a global Security of any series to beneficial owners pursuant to this Section 203, the global Security shall be
deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in
exchange for its beneficial interest in the global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Securities of that series of authorized denominations. 

        Neither
the Company nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, Securities of any series by the
Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to such Securities. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay by the related
global Security Holder or the Depositary in identifying the beneficial owners, and each such Person may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, instructions from such global
Security Holder or the Depositary for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Securities to be issued). 

        The
provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to any Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to

SECTION
302. Denominations. 

        The

SECTION
303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

        The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its President, its Treasurer or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced
thereon or affixed thereto attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 

        Securities
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals
or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 

        At
any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities as provided in this Indenture and not otherwise. 

        If
the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or any other method permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to
Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, 

        (a)   if
the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

        (b)   if
the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

15

 

        (c)   that
such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of
Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as such enforcement is subject to the effect of (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization or other laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or
at law). 

If
such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's
own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

        Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

        No
Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security, a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the
Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 103
and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never
to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

SECTION
304. Temporary Securities.

        Pending
the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are
printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in
registered form and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their
execution of such Securities. 

        Except
in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraphs), if temporary Securities of any series
are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary
Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of
Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 

        All
Outstanding temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like
tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

16

 

SECTION
305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

        The
Company shall cause to be kept for each series of Securities at one of the offices or agencies maintained pursuant to Section 1002 a register (the register maintained in such
office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities of such series. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed "Security
Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. 

        Except
as set forth in Section 203 or as may be provided pursuant to Section 301, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or
agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount. 

        At
the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

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

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

        No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchange pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer. 

        The
Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of
redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

SECTION
306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

        If
any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series
and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

        If
there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or
indemnity as may be 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 its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same
series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

17

 

        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 any 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
307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

        Interest
on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of any series, payment of
interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed or delivered to the address of any Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. 

        Any
interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 

        (1)   The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities)
are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an
amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the
proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this Clause. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than
10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of
the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such
series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the
Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date.
Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record 

18

 

Date
therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at
the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 

        (2)   The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment
pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

        Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture, upon registration of transfer of, in exchange for or in lieu of, any other Security,
shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

SECTION
308. 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 as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any)
and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of
the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

SECTION
309. Cancellation.

        All
Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the
Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities
shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee
shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order, and the Trustee shall maintain a record of their disposal; provided that the Trustee shall not be
required to destroy such Securities in contravention of record retention requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

SECTION
310. Computation of Interest.

        Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a year of
twelve 30-day months. 

SECTION
311. CUSIP Numbers. 

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

Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and
thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

        (B)  with
respect to all Outstanding Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited
with the Trustee as trust funds, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, money or U.S. Government Obligations maturing as to principal and
interest in such amounts and at such times as will (together with the income to accrue thereon and without consideration of any reinvestment thereof) be sufficient to pay and discharge (with such
delivery in trust to be for the stated purpose of paying and discharging) the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation
for principal (and premium and Additional Amounts, if any) and interest to the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date contemplated by the penultimate paragraph of this Section, as the case may be; or

Company has properly fulfilled such other means of satisfaction and discharge as is specified, as contemplated by Section 301, to be applicable to the
Securities of such series; 

        (2)   the
Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series;

the conditions set forth in Section 401(1)(A) have not been satisfied, and unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such
series, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal
income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, satisfaction and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same time as
would have been the case if such deposit, satisfaction and discharge had not occurred; and 

        (6)   no
Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such issue shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as clauses
(5) or (6) of Section 501 are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such

Company has complied with the provisions of Section 401 (other than any additional conditions specified pursuant to Sections 301 and 401(3) and except that
the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 401(5) shall state that it is based on a ruling by the Internal Revenue Service or other change since the date hereof under applicable Federal
income tax law) with respect to all Outstanding Securities of such series; 

        (2)   the
Company has delivered to the Trustee a Company Request requesting such satisfaction and discharge; 

        (3)   the
Company has complied with any other conditions specified pursuant to Section 301 to be applicable to the discharge of Securities of such series pursuant to
this Section 403; and 

        (4)   the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to
the discharge of the indebtedness on the Outstanding Securities of such series have been complied with. 

21

 

        Upon
the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section with respect to all the Outstanding Securities of any series, the terms and conditions of such series, including the
terms and conditions with respect thereto set forth in this Indenture, shall no longer be binding upon, or applicable to, the Company; provided that,
the Company shall not be discharged from any payment obligations in respect of Securities of such series which are deemed not to be Outstanding under clause (iii) of the definition thereof if
such obligations continue to be valid obligations of the Company under applicable law or pursuant to Section 305 or 306. 

SECTION
404. Applicability of Defeasance Provisions; Company's Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

        Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities of any series, the provisions of Sections 404 through 410 inclusive, with such modifications
thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, shall be applicable to the Securities. 

SECTION
405. Defeasance and Discharge.

        On
and after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 407 are satisfied with respect to the Securities of any series, the Company shall be deemed to have paid and
been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Securities (hereinafter "defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 408 and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in clause (ii) of this Section, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee,
upon payment of all amounts due it under Section 607, at the
expense of the Company, shall on a Company Order execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(i) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust funds described in Section 407(a) and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due; (ii) the Company's obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 305, 309, 1002
and 1003 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, payable with respect to such Securities as specified pursuant to clause (13) of Section 301; (iii) the
Company's obligations with respect to a conversion or exchange of such Securities; (iv) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder; and (v) this Article
Four. Subject to compliance with this Article Four, the Company may defease the Securities of any series under this Section 405 notwithstanding a prior covenant defeasance (as defined herein)
under Section 406 with respect to such Securities. Following a defeasance, payment of such Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. 

SECTION
406. Covenant Defeasance.

        On
and after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 407 (other than Section 407(c)) are satisfied with respect to the Securities of or within any series,
(i) the Company shall be released from its obligations under Sections 801 and 1004 and, if specified pursuant to Section 301, its obligations under any other covenant, with respect to
such Securities and (ii) the occurrence of any event specified in clauses (4) and (7) of Section 501 (with respect to any of the obligations described in clause (i)
above) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not "Outstanding" for the purposes of any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with Section 801 or Section 1004,
such other covenant specified pursuant to Section 301, but shall continue to be deemed "Outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that,
with respect to such Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or such other covenant,
whether directly or 

22

 

indirectly,
by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or
in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under clauses (4) and (7) of Section 501 or otherwise, as the case may be,
but, except as specified above the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and any interest coupons appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby. 

SECTION
407. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

        The
following shall be the conditions to application of Section 405 or Section 406 to any Securities of any series: 

        (a)   the
Company shall have deposited or caused to be deposited irrevocably with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 609 who shall
agree to comply with, and shall be entitled to the benefits of, the provisions of Sections 404 through 410 inclusive and the last paragraph of Section 1003 applicable to the Trustee, for
purposes of such Sections also a "Trustee") as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the payments referred to in clauses (x) and (y) of this Section 407(a), specifically
pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of Holders of such Securities, with written instructions to the Trustee as to the application thereof, (i) money in an amount (in
such currency, currencies or currency unit or units in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity), or (ii) if Securities of such series are not subject to repayment
at the option of Holders, Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the
due date of any payment referred to in clause (x) or (y) of this Section 407(a), money in an amount or (iii) a combination thereof in an amount, sufficient, in the opinion
of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants or a nationally recognized investment banking firm expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to
pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, (x) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities on the Stated Maturity of such
principal or installment of principal or interest and (y) any mandatory sinking fund payments applicable to such Securities on the date on which such payments are due and payable in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities. Before such a deposit the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date or dates in
accordance with Article Eleven which shall be given effect in applying the foregoing; 

        (b)   no
Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series shall have occurred or be continuing on the date of such a deposit or shall occur as a
result of such a deposit or, insofar as clauses (5) and (6) of Section 501 are concerned, shall occur at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such
deposit; 

        (c)   in
the case of an election under Section 405, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that (i) the Company has received from or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a
change in the applicable U.S. Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities and any interest coupons
appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amount and
in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred; 

        (d)   in
the case of an election under Section 406, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the Holders of such 

23

 

Securities
and any interest coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to
U.S. Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred; 

        (e)   the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance under
Section 405 or the covenant defeasance under Section 406 (as the case may be) have been complied with; 

        (f)    Such
defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the
Company in connection therewith as contemplated by Section 301; and 

        (g)   At
the time of such deposit: (i) no Default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Debt shall have occurred and be
continuing or (ii) no other Event of Default with respect to any Senior Debt shall have occurred and be continuing and shall have resulted in such Senior Debt becoming or being declared due and
payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, or, in the case of either clause (i) or clause (ii) above, each such Default or Event of Default shall
have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist. 

SECTION
408. Deposited Money and Government Obligations to be Held in Trust.

        Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301)
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 407 in respect of any Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance
with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other
funds except as provided herein and except to the extent required by law. 

SECTION
409. Repayment to Company.

        The
Trustee (and any Paying Agent) shall promptly pay to the Company upon Company Request any excess money or U.S. Government Obligations (or proceeds therefrom), or any other securities
held by them at any time. 

        The
provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall apply to any money or securities held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent under this Article Four that remain unclaimed
for two years after the Maturity of any series of Securities for which money or securities have been deposited pursuant to Section 407(a). 

SECTION
410. Indemnity for Government Obligations.

        The
Company shall pay, and shall indemnify the Trustee against, any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Article or
the principal and interest and any other amount received on such Government Obligations. 

SECTION
411. Reinstatement. 

        If
the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with respect to Securities of any series in accordance with Section 401 or
Section 407 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 with respect to the Securities of such series and the Securities of such series shall 

24

 

be
revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 401 or Section 407 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 401 or Section 407; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of
principal of (or premium, if any), or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

 
 

ARTICLE FIVE    
    
    REMEDIES    
    

SECTION
501. Events of Default.

        "Event
of Default," wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it
shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body), unless it is either inapplicable to a particular series or it is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution establishing such series of
Securities or in the form of Security for such series: 

        (1)   default
in the payment of any interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of that series when such interest or Additional Amounts become due and
payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or 

        (2)   default
in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that series at its Maturity; or 

        (3)   default
in the deposit of any mandatory sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Security of that series and continuance of such default for a period of
30 days; or 

        (4)   default
in the performance or breach of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or
whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than that
series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the
Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice
is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or 

        (5)   the
entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under
any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly
filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a custodian, receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the
continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or 

        (6)   the
commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of
any 

25

 

other
case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding
under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by
it, of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or
taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in
furtherance of any such action; or 

        (7)   any
other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 

        Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 501, if the principal of (and premium, if any) or any interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security
is payable in a currency or currencies (including a composite currency) other than Dollars and such currency (or currencies) is (or are) not available to the Company for making payment thereof due to
the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company (a "Conversion Event"), the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders of the
Securities by making such payment in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar equivalent of the amount payable in such other currency, as determined by the Company by reference to the noon buying rate
in The City of New York for cable transfers for such currency ("Exchange Rate"), as such Exchange Rate is certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the date of such
payment, or, if such rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 501, any payment made under
such circumstances in Dollars where the required payment is in a currency other than Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture. 

        Promptly
after the occurrence of a Conversion Event with respect to Securities of any series, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee; and the Trustee, promptly
after receipt of such notice, shall give notice thereof in the manner provided in Section 107 to the Holders of such series. Promptly after the making of any payment in Dollars as a result of a
Conversion Event with respect to Securities of any series, the Company shall give notice in the manner provided in Section 107 to the Holders of such series, setting forth the applicable
Exchange Rate and describing the calculation of such payments. 

SECTION
502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

        If
an Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than
25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of (i) the series affected by such default (in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (1), (2), (3) or
(7) of Section 501) or (ii) all series of Securities (subject to the immediately following sentence, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (4) of
Section 501) may declare the principal amount (or, if any such Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that
series) of all of the Securities of the series affected by such default or all series, as the case may be, 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) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clause (5) or
(6) of Section 501 shall occur, the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series ipso facto shall become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 

26

 

        At
any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series (or of all series, as the case may be) has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series (or of all
series, as the case may be), by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if 

        (1)   the
Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 

        (A)  all
overdue interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, all Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be), 

        (B)  the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be) which have become due otherwise than by such declaration
of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the Securities' Yield to Maturity), 

        (C)  to
the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest and any Additional Amounts at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such
Securities (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the Securities' Yield to Maturity), and 

        (D)  all
sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; 

and

        (2)   all
Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be), other than the non-payment of the principal of
Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be) which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 512. 

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

SECTION
503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

        The
Company covenants that if 

        (1)   default
is made in the payment of any installment of interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of any series when such interest or Additional
Amounts shall have become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 

        (2)   default
is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, 

the
Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if
any) and interest and Additional Amounts and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue
interest and Additional Amounts, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities (or in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the Securities' Yield to Maturity), and, in addition
thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel. 

        If
the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the
collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect
the moneys 

27

 

adjudged
or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 

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

SECTION
504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

          (i)  to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or lesser amount in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) (and premium, if any) and interest and
any Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including
any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

         (ii)  to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

and
any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. 

        Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceedings;  provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official. 

SECTION
505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities or Coupons.

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

28

 

SECTION
506. Application of Money Collected.

        Any
money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such
money on account of principal (or premium, if any), interest or any Additional Amounts, upon presentation of the Securities, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon
surrender thereof if fully paid: 

        FIRST:
To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; 

        SECOND:
To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities in respect of
which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and
premium, if any), interest and Additional Amounts, respectively; and 

        THIRD:
The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. 

        To
the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, if for the purpose of obtaining judgment against the Company in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of any series (the "Required Currency") into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered
(the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency
with the Judgment Currency on the New York Business Day next preceding that on which final judgment is given. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable for any shortfall nor shall it benefit
from any windfall in payments to Holders of Securities under this Section caused by a change in exchange rates between the time the amount of a judgment against it is calculated as above and the time
the Trustee converts the Judgment Currency into the Required Currency to make payments under this Section to Holders of Securities, but payment of such judgment shall discharge all amounts owed by the
Company on the claim or claims underlying such judgment. 

SECTION
507. Limitation on Suits.

        Subject
to Section 508, no Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 

        (1)   an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing and such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of
such continuing Event of Default; 

        (2)   the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings
in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 

        (3)   such
Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

        (4)   the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 

        (5)   no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of that series; 

29

 

it
being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. 

SECTION
508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal Premium and Interest.

        Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, Holder of a Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the
case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

SECTION
509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

SECTION
510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

        Except
as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative
and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

SECTION
511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

SECTION
512. Control by Holders.

        With
respect to Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, relating to or arising under an Event of Default described in
clause (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Section 501, and with respect to all Securities the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities shall have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, not relating to or arising under such an Event
of Default, provided that in each such case 

        (1)   such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and 

        (2)   the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 

30

 

SECTION
513. Waiver of Past Defaults.

        Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with
respect to such series and its consequences, and Holders of a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities may on behalf of Holders of all Securities waive any other past default
hereunder and its consequences, except in each case a default 

        (1)   in
the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security, or 

        (2)   in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of a Holder of each Outstanding Security
affected. 

        Upon
any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

SECTION
514. Undertaking for Costs.

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

SECTION
515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

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

SECTION
601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

        (a)   Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series, 

        (1)   the
Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

31

 

        (2)   in
the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 

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

        (c)   No
provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that 

        (1)   this
Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section; 

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

        (3)   the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series or of all series, determined as provided in Section 511, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and 

        (4)   no
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or
liability is not assured to it. 

        (d)   Whether
or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the
Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 

SECTION
602. Notice of Defaults.

        Within
90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give notice of such default hereunder known to the
Trustee to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 107, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided,
however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security
of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of
directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the
Holders of Securities of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(4) with
respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means

        (e)   the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders

compliance with such request or direction; 

        (f)    the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or
investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and

rights
it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 

SECTION
606. Money Held in Trust.

        Money
held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any
money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. 

SECTION
607. Compensation and Reimbursement.

        The
Company agrees 

        (1)   to
pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard
to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

        (2)   except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and 

        (3)   to
indemnify the Trustee and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents and/or representatives for, and to hold each of them harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on each of their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including
the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee's powers or duties hereunder. 

        As
security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected
by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, particular Securities. 

        Any
expenses and compensation for any services rendered by the Trustee after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 501
shall constitute expenses and compensation for services of administration under all applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws. 

        The
provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture. 

SECTION
608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

        (a)   If
the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in this Section, with respect to the Securities of any series, it shall, within 90 days

hereinafter specified in this Article. 

        (b)   In
the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Subsection (a) of this Section with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee

Register, notice of such failure. 

34

  

        (c)   For
the purposes of this Section, the term "conflicting interest" shall have the meaning specified in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act and the Trustee
shall comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act; provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1)
of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of
the Company are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act are met. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the optional
provision permitted by the second sentence of Section 310(b)(9) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable. 

SECTION
609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

        There
shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal
or State or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter
specified in this Article. 

        The
Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of Sections 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5) of the Trust Indenture Act. 

SECTION
610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

        (a)   No

the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611. 

        (b)   The
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance
by a successor Trustee required
by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the resigning Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

        (c)   The
Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 

        (d)   If
at any time: 

        (1)   the
Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608(a) after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security
for at least six months, or 

        (2)   the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder of
Securities, or 

        (3)   the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any
public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 

35

 

then,
in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 513, any Holder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect
to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 

        (e)   If
the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities
of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any
such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
particular series) and such successor Trustee or Trustees shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
shall have been so appointed by the Company and accepted
appointment in the manner required by Section 611, subject to Section 513, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

        (f)    The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

SECTION
611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

        (a)   In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor
Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee
and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 

        (b)   In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and
each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and
which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to
all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities
of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this
Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being 

36

 

understood
that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or
trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the
Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to
the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 

        (c)   Upon
request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. 

        (d)   No
successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 

SECTION
612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

        Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any
Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Securities. 

SECTION
613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

        The
Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A
Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent indicated therein. 

SECTION
614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

        The
Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon original issue and upon
exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and
obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on
behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of
the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 or equivalent amount expressed in a foreign currency and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State or District of Columbia authority or authority of such country. If such 

37

 

Authenticating
Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
this Section. 

        Any
corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent,
provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 

        An
Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating
Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and
shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No
successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 

        The
Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed
for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607. 

        If
an appointment is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of
authentication in the following form: 

        "This
is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. 

	 	 	U.S. Bank National Association,
 as Trustee
	

 	
 	

By	

 
	 	 	 	,

	 	 	as Authenticating Agent
	

 	
 	

By	

 
	 	 	 	
Authorized Signatory."

        Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 614 to the contrary, if at any time any Authenticating Agent appointed hereunder with respect to any series
of Securities shall not also be acting as the Security Registrar hereunder with respect to any series of Securities, then, in addition to all other duties of an Authenticating Agent hereunder, such
Authenticating Agent shall also be obligated: (i) to furnish to the Security Registrar promptly all information necessary to enable the Security Registrar to 

38

 

maintain
at all times an accurate and current Security Register; and (ii) prior to authenticating any Security denominated in a foreign currency, to ascertain from the Company the units of such
foreign currency that are required to be determined by the Company pursuant to Section 302.

provision; or 

        (5)   to
establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 201 and 301; or 

        (6)   to

        (8)   to
cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other

        (9)   to
comply with any requirement in order to effect or maintain qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. 

41

 

SECTION
902. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders.

        With
the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such supplemental indenture (acting as one class), by Act of
said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose
of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under
this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected
thereby, 

        (1)   change
the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of
interest thereon, any Additional Amounts with respect thereto or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change any obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts (except as
contemplated by Section 801(1) and permitted by Section 901(1)), or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a
declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502, or change any Place of Payment where, or the coin or currency or currencies (including composite currencies) in
which, any Security or any premium or any interest thereon or Additional Amounts with respect thereto is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or
after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or 

        (2)   reduce
the percentage in principal amount of Outstanding Securities, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of
whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or 

        (3)   modify
any of the provisions of this Section, Section 512 or Section 1006, except to increase any such percentage or to provide with respect to any
particular series the right to condition the effectiveness of any supplemental indenture as to that series on the consent of the Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of such series (which provision may be made pursuant to Section 301 without the consent of any Holder) or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture
cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, provided, however, that this clause shall
not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to "the Trustee" and concomitant changes in this Section and Section 1006, or the deletion of this
proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 611(b) and 901(7). 

A
supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of
Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of
the Holders of Securities of any other series. 

        It
shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall
approve the substance thereof. 

SECTION
903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

        In
executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture,

is authorized or permitted by this 

42

 

Indenture.

otherwise. 

SECTION
904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

        Upon
the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of
this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. 

SECTION

        Securities
of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation
in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion
of the Trustee and
the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. 

 
 

ARTICLE TEN    
    
    COVENANTS    
    

SECTION
1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

        The
Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any), interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. 

SECTION
1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

        The
Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where
Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this
Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to
maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee. 

        The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such
purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the
Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment 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 location of any such other office or agency. 

43

 

SECTION
1003. Money for Securities Payments to be Held in Trust.

        If
the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the
principal (and premium, if any) or interest or any Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify
the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

        Whenever
the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, the Company will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest
on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of
the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

        The
Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree
with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 

        (1)   hold
all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of that series in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 

        (2)   give
the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium,
if any), interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of that series; and 

        (3)   at
any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying
Agent. 

        The
Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to
pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which sums were held by the Company or such
Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

        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 (and premium, if any) or interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for three years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts have become due and payable
shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat, or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company)
shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, 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, shall thereupon cease; provided, however,
that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in The Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York and in such other Authorized Newspapers as the Trustee shall deem appropriate, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which
shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will, unless otherwise required 

44

 

by
mandatory provisions of applicable escheat, or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Company. 

SECTION
1004. Existence.

        Subject
to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence. 

SECTION
1005. Statement by Officers as to Default.

        The
Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof so long as any Security is outstanding
hereunder, an Officers' Certificate complying with Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, stating that a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of performance under
this Indenture has been made under the supervision of the signers thereof and whether or not to the best of their knowledge, based upon such review, the Company is in default in the performance,
observance or fulfillment of any of its covenants and other obligations under this Indenture, and if the Company shall be in default, specifying each such default known to them and the nature and
status thereof. One of the officers signing the Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 1005 shall be the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Company. 

        For
purposes of this Section, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture. 

SECTION
1006. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

        The
Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in Section 1004, or any covenant added for the benefit of any series of
Securities as contemplated by Section 301 (unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301) if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such omission (acting as one class) shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become
effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

SECTION
1007. Additional Amounts.

        If
the Securities of a series expressly provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series Additional Amounts as expressly
provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or the net
proceeds received from the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Section to the
extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts
(if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 

        If
the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities
(or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of
payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate, the Company shall furnish the Trustee
and the Company's principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers' Certificate instructing the Trustee and 

45

 

such
Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series who are
United States Aliens without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding shall be required,
then such Officers' Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities and the Company will pay to such Paying Agent the
Additional Amounts required by this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against any loss, liability or expense reasonably
incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this
Section 1007. 

 
 

ARTICLE ELEVEN    
    
    REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES    
    

SECTION
1101. Applicability of Article.

        Securities
of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. 

SECTION
1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

        Unless
otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of a series as contemplated by Section 301, the election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a
Board Resolution. In case of
any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, a reasonable period prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter
notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of
Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an
Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. Any notice may be cancelled at any time prior to the mailing of that notice of redemption to any Holder of the Securities of that
series and shall thereupon be void and of no effect. 

SECTION
1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.

        If
less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection
for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a
denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or of the principal amount of global Securities of such series. 

        The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

        For
all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or
to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 

46

 

SECTION
1104. Notice of Redemption.

        Notice
of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 107 to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date. 

        All
notices of redemption shall state: 

        (1)   the
Redemption Date; 

        (2)   the
Redemption Price; 

        (3)   if
less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the
particular Securities to be redeemed; 

        (4)   that
on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease
to accrue on and after said date; 

        (5)   the
place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; 

        (6)   that
the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case; and 

        (7)   the
"CUSIP" number, if applicable. 

        A
notice of redemption as contemplated by Section 107 need not identify particular Securities to be redeemed. Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of
the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 

SECTION
1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.

        On
or before any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, and any
Additional Amounts with respect to, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 

SECTION
1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

        Notice
of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and
from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such
Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (and any Additional Amounts) to the
Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the
Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of
Section 307. 

        If
any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption
Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the Securities' Yield to Maturity. 

47

 

SECTION
1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

        Any
