manner provided in this Section.

                      (c) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, fix any day as the record
date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Securities of any series entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on any action, authorized or permitted to be
given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series. If not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder of Securities of such series made by any Person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to
such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided pursuant to Section 7.1) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be.

Notice to Holders; Waiver.

sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if
any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular
Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. 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 reliance upon such
waiver.
           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 by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall

Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so
modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

Person, other than (a) the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, (b) the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and (c) the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of the Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision shall apply
in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, 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 for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

offered and sold as part of their initial distribution to Persons who are not QIBs shall be issued in the form of Restricted Certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, with such applicable legends as are
provided for in accordance with this Section 2.1 and Section 3.1. Restricted Certificated Securities may not be transferred or exchanged for interests in a Global Security except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant to Section 3.1.

Certificated Security, as applicable, shall have executed and delivered to the Company and the underwriter(s) or placement agent(s), if any, for the offering of such Securities a Purchaser Letter substantially in the form set forth in an annex to
such Restricted Global Security or Restricted Certificated Security, as the case may be, and the Company certifies to the Trustee in writing to that effect.

2.2

it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased or
reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of any Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the rights of Holders, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made in such
manner and by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 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 therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 3.3 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any

 instructions by the Company with respect to a Security in global form shall be in writing.
            The provisions of the last paragraph of Section 3.3 shall apply to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by
the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions.
            Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 3.7, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, payment of principal of and anypremium and interest on any Security in permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein.

            The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its

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, and, provided that the Board Resolution or Resolutions and Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture or indentures with respect to such Securities referred to in Section
3.1 and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, have been delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and subject to the provisions hereof shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.
In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be

Table of Contents

 entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon,
                      (a) an Opinion of Counsel stating, to the effect

	  
 	  (i)  that the form or forms and terms, or the manner of determining the terms, of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  (ii)  that all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery of such Securities have been complied with and that such Securities when completed by appropriate
insertion and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication pursuant to this Indenture, and 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 legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and will entitle the Holders thereof to the
benefits of the Indenture; such Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to the availability of equitable remedies;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	 (iii)  as to such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request; and
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	  (iv)  with respect to any Securities issued other than Restricted Securities or Securities issued in accordance with Regulation S, this Indenture has been qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act; and
 

                      (b) other than in
connection with the first issuance of any Securities under this Indenture, an Officers’ Certificate stating that, to the best knowledge of the Persons executing such certificate, no Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have
occurred and be continuing.
            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 of an Authorized Representative, 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

Table of Contents

 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 3.9, 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
3.4     
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 and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

           Except in the case of temporary Global Securities, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, 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 one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal amount and tenor. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor.
 Section 3.5     
Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.
            (a) General
            The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office being herein sometimes 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. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.
            The Company may appoint one or
more co-registrars. The term “Security Registrar” includes any co-registrars appointed by the Company. If any of the Securities are Restricted Securities and any of the Securities are Global Securities, the Company shall appoint a Security
Registrar or a co-registrar that shall be a member of or otherwise participate in the Depositary’s program for registering transfers of Restricted Securities. Such Security Registrar or co-registrar shall also be eligible to serve as a
Securities Custodian. So long as any Securities are Restricted Securities and any Securities are in global form, Holders shall effect the exchange, transfer and registration of Securities through the Security Registrar or co-registrar. The Company
may change any

Table of Contents

  Security Registrar or co-registrar and shall provide notice of any such change to any Holder.
           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, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor.

           At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and
of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, 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 exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 9.6 or 11.7 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 that series selected for redemption under Section 11.3 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, 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.
           Notwithstanding
the foregoing and except as otherwise specified or contemplated by Section 3.1, if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for the Securities of such
series or if at any time the Depositary for Securities of a series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a
successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition,
the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon Company Request, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Global
Securities

Table of Contents

  representing Securities of such series in exchange for such Global Security or Global Securities.
           In the event that (i) the Company at any time and in its sole discretion determines that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global
Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Global Securities or (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an
Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon Company Request, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of the Global Security or Global Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Global Securities.
            Upon the occurrence in respect of any Global Security of any series of any one or more of the conditions specified in the preceding two paragraphs or such other
conditions as may be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such series, such Global Security may be exchanged for Securities registered in the names of, and the transfer of such Global Security may be registered to, such Persons (including
Persons other than the Depositary with respect to such series and its nominees) as such Depositary shall direct. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, any Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in
exchange for, or in lieu of, any Global Security shall also be a Global Security and shall bear the legend specified in Section 2.4 except for any Security authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or upon registration of transfer of, a Global
Security pursuant to the preceding sentence.
           (b) Restricted Securities.
            Restricted Securities of each series shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer (the “Transfer Restrictions”) provided in the applicable legend(s)
(the “Restrictive Legends”) required to be set forth on the face of each Security as contemplated by Sections 2.1 and 3.1 for the Restricted Securities of such series, and each Holder of a Security, by its acceptance thereof, agrees to be
bound by, and to comply with, the Transfer Restrictions, in each case unless compliance with the Transfer Restrictions shall be waived by the Company in writing delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee will not be responsible for determining whether
any transfer complies with the registration provisions or exemptions under the Securities Act or any applicable State securities laws.
            Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for the Securities of any series, the Transfer Restrictions shall cease and terminate with respect to any
particular Security upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it (which may include an opinion of independent counsel experienced in matters of United States federal securities law) that, as of the date of determination, such Security
(a) could be transferred by the Holder thereof pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, (b) has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (c) has been transferred (i) in a transaction
satisfying all the requirements of Rule 903 or 904 (as applicable) of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and receipt by the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate certifying
that the Company has received such evidence and that the Transfer Restrictions have

Table of Contents

 ceased and terminated with respect to such Security. All references in the preceding sentence to any Regulation, Rule or provision thereof shall be deemed also to refer to any
successor provisions thereof. In addition, the Company may terminate the Transfer Restrictions with respect to any particular Security in such other circumstances as it determines are appropriate for this purpose and shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Transfer Restrictions have ceased and terminated with respect to such Security.
            At the
request of the Holder and upon the surrender of such Security to the Trustee or Security Registrar for exchange in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.5, any Security as to which the Transfer Restrictions shall have terminated in
accordance with the preceding paragraph shall be exchanged for a new Security, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, but without the Restrictive Legends. Any Security as to which the Restrictive Legends shall have been removed pursuant to
this paragraph (and any Securities issued upon registration of transfer of, exchange for or in lieu of such Security) shall thereupon cease to be “Restricted Securities” for all purposes of this Indenture.
            The Company shall notify the Trustee of the effective date of any registration statement registering any Restricted Securities under the Securities Act and shall
ensure that any opinion of counsel received by it in connection with the removal of any Restrictive Legend is also addressed to the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and without
negligence on its part in accordance with such notice or any opinion of counsel.
          As used in this Section 3.5(b), the term “transfer”
encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition of any Securities referred to herein.
  Section 3.6     
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 the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.
           In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.
            Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, 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

Table of Contents

 expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
            Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of
that series duly issued hereunder.
            The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights
and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.
  Section 3.7    
Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.
            Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with
respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities)
is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.
           Any interest on any Security of any series which is
payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder 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 in this Clause provided. 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. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record 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 or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were
carried by such other Security.
  Section 3.8    
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 any premium and (subject to Section 3.7) any
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.
 
          No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to
such Global Security, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial
interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of any Security.
 Section 3.9    
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 and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, 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 or as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order.

            If an
Event of Default specified in Sections 5.1(5) or 5.1(6) with respect to 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

            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

to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys 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 the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 6.7.

on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding;
provided, however, the Trustee may vote on behalf of the Holders for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and may be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit
of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

 	       (1)   such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of
that series;
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	       (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;

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;
 

  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.

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 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder,
or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
 Section 5.11   
Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
          No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be

 	      (3)  subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in
good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

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 5.14 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

will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, 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.

Table of Contents

            The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if
it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 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 6.2     
Notice of Defaults.

the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such default as to which the Trustee has received written notice as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of the occurrence of any event which,
with the passage of time, would constitute a default of the character specified in Section 5.1(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 any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

Table of Contents

  Section 10.2     
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, and the Company hereby
appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
            The Company may also from time to
time designate one or more 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 offer office or agency.
 Section 10.3     
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 or any premium or interest on 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 any premium and interest 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 to act.

           Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any
premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will
promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure 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 (i) comply with the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, and
upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series.
           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

Table of Contents

  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 such 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 or any premium
or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall 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 a
newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, 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 be repaid to the Company.
 Section 10.4    
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, an Officers’ Certificate (one of the signers of which shall be the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company), stating
whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice
provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.
  Section
10.5     
Existence.
            Subject to Article VIII, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not and is not reasonably likely to be disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.
  Section 10.6    
Maintenance of Properties.
           The Company will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business
of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as
in the judgment of the Company may

 be necessary  so that the business  carried on in  connection  therewith  may be properly and  advantageously  conducted at all times; 
provided,  however,  that nothing in this  Section  shall  prevent  the  Company  from  discontinuing  the operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the 
judgment of the  Company,  desirable  in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary and not  disadvantageous  in any material  respect to the Holders.
  Section 10.7     
Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. 
            The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the
same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful claims for labor,
materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate provision is made.
  Section 10.8
   
Waiver of Certain Covenants.
            The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or
condition set forth in Sections 10.5 to 10.7, inclusive, with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by act of
such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly
waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.
 Section 10.9     
Delivery of Certain Information. 
            At any time when the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act and is not exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Holder of a Security or a beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Security, the Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be
furnished “Rule 144A Information” (as defined below) to such Holder or beneficial owner of a Security, or to a prospective purchaser of such Security or beneficial interest in a Global Security designated by such Holder or beneficial owner
in order to permit compliance by such Holder or beneficial owner with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of such Security by such Holder or beneficial owner; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to
furnish such information in connection with any request made on or after the date which is three years from the later of (i) the date such Security or Global Security (or any predecessor Security) was acquired from the Company or (ii) the date such
Security or Global Security (or any predecessor Security) was last acquired from an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and provided, further, the Company shall not be required to furnish such
information at any time to a prospective purchaser located outside the United States who is not a “U.S. person” within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act if such

  Security or interest, as the case may be, may then be sold to such prospective purchaser in accordance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision
thereto), as the same may be amended from time to time. “Rule 144A Information” shall be such information as is specified pursuant to paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A (or any successor provision thereto), as such provisions (or successor
provisions) may be amended from time to time.

the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Indebtedness, or provision shall be made for such payment in money or money’s worth, before the
Holders of the Securities of any series are entitled to receive any payment on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series, and to that end the holders of Senior

Table of Contents

 Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment hereof, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Securities of any series in any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up or event.
            In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Trustee or the holder of any Security of any series shall have received any payment

consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to another Person
upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article VIII shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company for the purposes of
this Section if the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease such properties and assets substantially as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part

or provision shall be made for such payment in cash, before the Holders of the Securities of such series are entitled to receive any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of such series or on account of the
purchase or other acquisition of Securities of such series.
           In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make any payment
to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security of any series prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment, have been made known to the Trustee or,

payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Indebtedness beyond any applicable grace period with respect thereto, or in the event that any event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and be
continuing  permitting the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of the holders thereof) to declare such Senior Indebtedness due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, unless

liabilities of the Company referred to in Section 13.2 or under the conditions described in Section 13.3 or 13.4, from making payments at any time of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of any series, or (b) the

Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness.
            Subject to the payment in full of all Senior

Table of Contents

  provisions of this Article to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the
Senior Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of such series shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any
cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities of a series or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the holders of Senior

the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness.
  Section  13.7     
Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.
            The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities of a series on the one hand and the holders of Senior Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities of
any series is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities of any series, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional (and
which, subject to the rights under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, is intended to rank equally with all other obligations of the Company), to pay to the Holders of the Securities of a series the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest on the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of the Securities of a series and creditors of the
Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security of any series from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the
rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.
 Section 13.8
   
Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.
            Each holder of a Security of any series by his acceptance thereof authorizes
and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
  Section 13.9     
No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.
            No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to
enforce  subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any non-compliance by
the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.
           Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph,

Table of Contents

  the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities of any series,
without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities of any series and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness or any
instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person
liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person.
 Section 13.10    
Notice to Trustee.
            The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company
which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities of any series. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge
of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities of a series, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of
Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee therefor; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however,
that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment
of the principal (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for
which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date.
            Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a
holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required
with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee
as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and if such
evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.
 Section
13.11     
Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

Table of Contents

            Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.1, and the Holders of the Securities of any series shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation,
reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such
payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities of such series, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other
indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.
  Section
13.12     
Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness.
            The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary
duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders or creditors if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities of any series or to the Company or to any other Person cash,
property or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.
 Section  13.13     
Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior U\Indebtedness; Preservation of Trustee’s Rights.
            The Trustee in its
individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness and nothing in this Indenture
shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.
            Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the
Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.7.
  Section 13.14     
Article Applicable to Paying Agents.
            In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been
appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as
fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Section 13.13 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such
Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.
 
 ARTICLE XIV

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
  Section 14.1     
Applicability of Article; Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
           If pursuant to Section
3.1 provision is made for either or both of (a)

Table of Contents

  defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 14.2 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 14.3, then the provisions of such Section or
Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article XIV, shall be applicable to the Securities of such series, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Securities of such
series, elect to have either Section 14.2 (if applicable) or Section 14.3 (if applicable) be applied to the Outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article XIV.
  Section 14.2     
Defeasance and Discharge.
            Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section, the
Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series on and after the date the conditions precedent set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For
this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities of such series and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities
and this Indenture, including the provisions of Article XIII hereof, insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which
shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of such series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 14.4 as more fully set forth in such Section, payments
of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.3 and such obligations as shall be
ancillary thereto, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, immunities and other provisions in respect of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article XIV. Subject to compliance with this Article XIV, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section 14.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 14.3 with respect to the Securities of such series. Following a defeasance, payment of the Securities of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event of
Default.
 Section 14.3    
Covenant Defeasance. 
            Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section and after
the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), the Company shall be released from its obligations under any covenant applicable to such Securities that is determined pursuant to Section 3.1 to
be subject to this provision, and the occurrence of an event specified in Section 5.1(4) (with respect to any Section applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 3.1 to be subject to this provision) shall not be deemed to
be an Event of Default with respect to the outstanding Securities of such series. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series, 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 whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other
provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

of such series shall have occurred and be continuing (A) on the date of such deposit or (B) insofar as subsections 5.1(5) and (6) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 123rd day after the date of such deposit or, if longer,

 	      (5)  Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause any Securities of such series then listed on any registered national securities
exchange under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be delisted.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	       (6)  In the case of an election under Section 14.2, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (x)
the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and
based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax
on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	       (7)  In the case of an election under Section 14.3, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	      (8)  At the time of such deposit; (A) no default in the payment of all or a portion of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any
Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing, and no event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing and shall have resulted in such Senior Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and

Table of Contents

	  
 	       (9)  Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional terms, conditions or limitations which may
be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.1.
 
	  
 	  
 
	  
 	      (10)  The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent provided for relating to either the defeasance under Section 14.2 or the covenant defeasance under Section 14.3 (as the case may be) have been complied with.
 

  Section 14.5     
Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.
            Subject to
the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 14.4 in respect of the Outstanding Securities of such 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 (but not including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law. Money so held in trust shall not be subject to the provisions of Article XIII.
           The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any
tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 14.4 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof. Such obligation of the Company shall survive the
termination of this Indenture, the redemption or other retirement of the related Securities and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
           Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government
Obligations held by it as provided in Section 14.4 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof
which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance.
  Section 14.6    
Reinstatement. 
            If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 14.5 by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XIV until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 14.5; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of
(and premium, if any) or interest on any such Security following 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 held by the Trustee or the
Paying Agent.
            This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of

  which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

this document constitutes the governing instrument of the Trust.  The Trustees are hereby authorized and directed to execute and file a certificate of trust with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of the Business
Trust Act.
           3.  The Depositor and the Trustees will enter into an amended and restated Declaration of Trust, satisfactory to each
such party and having substantially the terms described in the offering circular (as referred to below), to provide for the contemplated operation of the Trust created hereby and the issuance of the Capital Securities and Common Securities referred
to therein.  Prior to the execution and delivery of such amended and restated Declaration of Trust, the Trustees shall not have any duty or obligation hereunder or with respect to the trust estate, except as otherwise required by applicable law
or as may be necessary to obtain prior to such execution and delivery any licenses, consents or approvals required by applicable law or otherwise.
            4.  The Depositor and the Administrative Trustees hereby authorize and direct the Depositor, as the sponsor of the Trust, (i) to prepare and distribute one
or more offering circulars on behalf of the Trust, including any necessary or desirable amendments thereto (including any exhibits contained therein or forming a part thereof), relating to the Capital Securities of the Trust and certain other
securities; (ii) to file with the Private Offering, Resales and Trading through Automatic Linkages (PORTAL) Market (“PORTAL”) and execute on behalf of the Trust a listing application or applications and all other applications, statements,
certificates, agreements and other instruments as shall be necessary or desirable to cause the Capital Securities to be listed on PORTAL; (iii) to file and execute on behalf of the Trust such applications, reports, surety bonds, irrevocable
consents, appointments of attorney for service of process and other papers and documents as the Depositor, on behalf of the Trust, may deem necessary or desirable to register the Capital Securities under, or obtain for the Capital Securities an
exemption from, the securities or “Blue Sky” laws; (iv) to execute on behalf of the Trust such underwriting or purchase agreements with one or more underwriters, purchasers or agents relating to the offering of the Capital Securities as
the Depositor, on behalf of the Trust, may deem necessary or desirable; and (v) to execute on behalf of the Trust any and all documents, papers and instruments as may be desirable in

  connection with any of the foregoing.  If any filing referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above is required by law or by the rules and regulations of any applicable
governmental agency, self-regulatory organization or other person or organization to be executed on behalf of the Trust by one of the Trustees, the Depositor and any of the Trustee of the Trust appointed pursuant to Section 6 hereof are hereby
authorized to join any such filing and to execute on behalf of the Trust any and all of the foregoing.
            5.  This Declaration of
Trust may be executed in one or more counterparts. 
            6.  The Trustees shall initially be the trustees of the Trust. 
Thereafter, the Depositor may increase or decrease (but not below one) the number of trustees of the Trust by executing a written instrument fixing such number; provided, however, that so long as it is required by the Business Trust Act, one trustee
of the Trust shall be either a natural person who is a resident of the State of Delaware or an entity other than a natural person that has its principal place of business in the State of Delaware and that, in either case, otherwise meets the
requirements of applicable Delaware law.  Subject to the foregoing, the Depositor is entitled to appoint or remove without cause any trustee at any time.  The Trustees may resign upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the
Depositor. 
            7.  This Declaration of Trust shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Delaware (without regard to conflict of laws principles that would call for the application of the substantive law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware). 
           IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Declaration of Trust to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.
