Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:

such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any
certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know,
that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such Officer’s Certificate or opinion are based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual
matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the

Where (i) any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements,

Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document
or instrument, a clerical, typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may be substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if originally
filed in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the actual execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates required with
respect to the document or instrument for which it is substituted. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any such corrective document or instrument indicates that action has been taken by or at the request of the Company,
which could not have been taken had the original document or 

  
 11 

 
instrument not contained such error or omission, the action so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be and remain in full force and effect, except to the
extent that such action was a result of willful misconduct or bad faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Securities issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations
of the Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Securities, except as aforesaid. 
 SECTION 104.
Acts of Holders. 
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other action provided by
this Indenture to be made, 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 or, alternatively, may be
embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Thirteen, or a
combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record 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 of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to
Section 901) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1306. 

(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 or may be proved in any
other manner which the Trustee and the Company deem sufficient. 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. 

(c) The principal amount (except as otherwise contemplated in clause (y) of the first proviso to the definition of Outstanding) 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, election, waiver or other Act of a 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, the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 

(e) Until such time as written instruments shall have been delivered to the Trustee with respect to the requisite percentage of principal
amount of Securities for the action 

  
 12 

 
contemplated by such instruments, any such instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of a Holder may be revoked with respect to any or all of such Securities by written notice by such
Holder or any subsequent Holder, proven in the manner in which such instrument was proven. 
 (f) Securities of any series, or any Tranche
thereof, authenticated and delivered after any Act of Holders may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any action taken by such Act of Holders. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities
of any series, or any Tranche thereof, so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to such action may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding
Securities of such series or Tranche. 
 (g) If the Company shall solicit from Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by Company Order fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, but the Company shall have any obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of
record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of the record date. Any such Act, given as aforesaid, shall be effective whether or not the Holders which
authorized or agreed or consented to such Act remain Holders after such record date and whether or not the Securities held by such Holders remain Outstanding after such record date. 

  
 13 

 SECTION 105. Notices, etc. to Trustee, Company. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by
this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company, or 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 delivered personally to an officer or other responsible employee of the addressee, or transmitted by facsimile transmission or other direct written electronic means to such telephone number or other electronic
communications address as the parties hereto shall from time to time designate, or transmitted by registered mail, charges prepaid, to the applicable address set opposite such party’s name below or to such other address as such party hereto may

 Any
communication contemplated herein shall be deemed to have been made, given, furnished and filed if personally delivered, on the date of delivery, if transmitted by facsimile transmission or other direct written electronic means, on the date of
transmission, and if transmitted by registered mail, on the date of receipt. 
 The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or
directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that (a) the party providing such electronic instructions or directions,
subsequent to the transmission thereof, shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized
representative of the party providing such instructions or directions. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions or
directions notwithstanding such instructions or directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction or direction or if the subsequent written instruction or direction is never received. The party providing instructions or
directions by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, as aforesaid, agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee,
including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, as long as the Securities are in the form of a global security, notice to the
Holders may be made electronically in accordance with procedures of the depositary. 
 SECTION 106. Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver. 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given, and shall be deemed given, to Holders 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. 

  
 14 

 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 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 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. 

Any notice required by this Indenture may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event
otherwise to be specified therein, 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. 
 SECTION 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 

If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required or deemed to be included in
this Indenture by, or is otherwise governed by, any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such other provision shall control; and if any provision hereof otherwise conflicts with the Trust Indenture Act, the Trust Indenture Act shall
control.

The Article and Section headings in this Indenture and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction
hereof.

expressed or not. 
 SECTION 110. Separability Clause. 

In case any provision in this Indenture or the Securities shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 SECTION 111. Benefits of Indenture. 

Nothing in this Indenture or the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, their successors
hereunder, the Holders and, so long as the notice described in Section 1513 hereof has not been given, the holders of Senior Indebtedness, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to
conflict of laws principles thereunder, except to the extent that the law of any other jurisdiction shall be mandatorily applicable. 
 SECTION 113.

 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 other than a provision in Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, or in an indenture supplemental hereto, or in the
Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate which establishes the terms of the Securities of such series or Tranche, which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment of interest or principal and premium,

 With respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the indenture supplemental
hereto or the Board Resolution which establishes such series, or the Officer’s Certificate pursuant to such supplemental indenture or Board Resolution, as the case may be, may provide general terms or parameters for Securities of such series
and provide either that the specific terms of Securities of such series, or any Tranche thereof, shall be specified in a Company Order or that such terms shall be determined by the Company or its agents in accordance with procedures specified in a
Company Order as contemplated by clause (b) of Section 303. 
 All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical,
except as to principal amount and date of issue and except as may be set forth in the terms of such series as contemplated above. The Securities of each series shall be subordinated in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness of the Company as
provided in Article Fifteen. 
 Unless otherwise provided with respect to a series of Securities as contemplated in Section 301(b), the
aggregate principal amount of a series of Securities may be increased and additional Securities of such series may be issued up to the maximum aggregate principal amount authorized with respect to such series as increased. 

SECTION 302. Denominations. 
 Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, the Securities of each series shall be issuable in denominations of $25 and any integral multiple thereof. 

SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, the Securities
shall be executed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer of the Company and may have the corporate seal of the Company affixed thereto or reproduced thereon and attested by any other Authorized Officer of the Company. The signature of any
or all of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 
 Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at the time of execution Authorized 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. 
 The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities of a
series, for original issue, at one time or from time to time in accordance with the Company Order referred to below, upon receipt by the Trustee of: 

(a) the instrument or instruments establishing the form or forms and terms of the Securities of such series, as provided in Sections 201 and
301; 

  
 21 

 (b) a Company Order requesting the authentication and delivery of such Securities and to the
extent that the terms of such Securities shall not have been established in an indenture supplemental hereto or in a Board Resolution, or in an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to a supplemental indenture or Board Resolution, all as contemplated
by Sections 201 and 301, either (i) establishing such terms or (ii) in the case of Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, specifying procedures, acceptable to the Trustee, by which such terms are to be established (which
procedures may provide, to the extent acceptable to the Trustee, for authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or any agent or agents thereof, which oral instructions are to be promptly confirmed
electronically or in writing), in either case in accordance with the instrument or instruments delivered pursuant to clause (a) above; 

(c) Reserved; 
 (d) the
Securities of such series, each executed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer of the Company; 
 (e) an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that: 
 (i) (A) the form or forms of such Securities have been duly authorized by the Company and (B) the
form or forms of the Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(ii) (A) the terms of such Securities have been duly authorized by the Company and (B) the terms of the
Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
 (iii) such Securities, when
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued and delivered by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will have been duly issued under this Indenture and will constitute valid and
legally binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits provided by this Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of
creditors’ rights, including, without limitation, bankruptcy and insolvency laws and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); 

provided, however, that, with respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive such Opinion of
Counsel only once at or prior to the time of the first authentication and delivery of Securities of such series, and that in lieu of the opinions described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above such Opinion of Counsel may, alternatively, state,
respectively, 
 (x) that, when the terms of such Securities shall have been established pursuant to a Company Order or Orders (acceptable to
the Trustee) as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order or Orders, all as contemplated by and in accordance with the instrument or instruments delivered pursuant to clause (a) above, such terms will have been duly authorized by
the Company, and will have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

  
 22 

 (y) that such Securities, when (1) executed by the Company, (2) authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture, (3) issued and delivered by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel and (4) in the case of Securities, paid for, all as
contemplated by and in accordance with the aforesaid Company Order or Orders, will have been duly issued under this Indenture and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits provided by the
Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, including, without limitation, bankruptcy and insolvency laws and to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
 With respect to
Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities, the forms and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability
thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as applicable, at or prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series, unless and until such opinion or
other documents have been superseded or revoked or expire by their terms. In connection with the authentication and delivery of Securities of a series, pursuant to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that the Company’s
instructions to authenticate and deliver such Securities do not violate any applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Company. 

If the forms or terms of the Securities of any series have been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or an Officer’s
Certificate as permitted by Sections 201 or 301, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issuance of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will materially or adversely 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. 

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, each Security
shall each be dated the date of its authentication. 
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any
series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, 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 or an Authenticating Agent by manual signature of an authorized officer hereof, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder to the Company, or any Person acting on its behalf, but
shall never have 

  
 23 

 
been issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Security Registrar for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement
(which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and 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 hereof. 
 SECTION 304.
Temporary Securities. 
 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, 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, 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;
provided, however, that temporary Securities need not recite specific redemption, sinking fund, conversion or exchange provisions. 
 Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, after the preparation of definitive Securities of such series or Tranche, the temporary Securities of such series or
Tranche shall be exchangeable, without charge to the Holder thereof, for definitive Securities of such series or Tranche upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 602 in a
Place of Payment for such Securities. Upon such surrender of temporary Securities, the Company shall, except as aforesaid, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Securities of the same series and
Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 
 Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided,
temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and Tranche and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

The Company shall cause to be kept in each office designated pursuant to Section 602, with respect to the Securities of each series or any
Tranche thereof, a register (all registers kept in accordance with this Section being 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 of such series or Tranche and the registration of transfer thereof. The Company shall designate one Person to maintain the Security Register for the Securities of each series on a consolidated basis, and such Person is
referred to herein, with respect to such series, as the “Security Registrar.” Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may designate one or more of its offices or an office of any Affiliate as an office in which a
register with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche or Tranches thereof, shall be maintained, and the Company may designate itself or any Affiliate as the Security Registrar with respect to one or more of such series. The
Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and the Company at all reasonable times. 

  
 24 

 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities
of any series, or any Tranche thereof, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of such series or Tranche at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 602 in a Place of Payment for such series or
Tranche, 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 Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and
aggregate principal amount. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any
series, or any Tranche thereof, any Security of such series or Tranche may be exchanged at the option of the Holder, for one or more new Securities of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any 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 delivered upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities
shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligation, 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, the Trustee or the
Security Registrar) be duly endorsed or shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing. 
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series, or any
Tranche thereof, 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 304, 406 or 1206 not involving any transfer. 

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of transfer of or the exchange of (a) Securities of any
series, or any Tranche thereof, during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities of such series or Tranche called for redemption or (b) 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 Tranche, and of like tenor and principal amount, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

  
 25 

 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to their
satisfaction of the ownership of and the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (b) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably 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 is held by a Person purporting to be the owner of such Security, 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 Tranche, and of like tenor and principal amount, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in
connection 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 other than the Holder of such new Security, and any such new Security
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such 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. 

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, 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. 
 Subject to Section 312, 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 related 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 (a) or (b) below: 
 (a) 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) 

  
 26 

 
are registered at the close of business on a date (herein called 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 promptly 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 the address
of such Holder 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. 

(b) 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 and Section 305,
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 308. Persons Deemed Owners. 

Prior to the 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 absolute 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, if any, on such Security
and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company or Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

SECTION 309. Cancellation by Security Registrar. 

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Security Registrar, be delivered to the Security Registrar and, if not theretofore canceled, shall be 

  
 27 

 
promptly canceled by the Security Registrar. The Company may at any time deliver to the Security Registrar for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which
the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever or which the Company shall not have issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Security Registrar. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Security Registrar shall be disposed of in accordance with the customary procedures of the
Security Registrar as at the time of disposition shall be in effect, and the Security Registrar shall promptly deliver a certificate of disposition to the Trustee and the Company unless, by a Company Order delivered to the Security Registrar and the
Trustee, the Company shall direct that canceled Securities be returned to it. The Security Registrar shall promptly deliver evidence of any cancellation of a Security in accordance with this Section 309 to the Trustee and the Company. 

SECTION 310. Computation of Interest. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, interest on the
Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during such period. 

SECTION 311. Payment to Be in Proper Currency. 

In the case of the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, denominated in any currency other than Dollars or in a composite currency
(the “Required Currency”), except as otherwise specified with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section 301, the obligation of the Company to make any payment of the principal thereof, or the premium, if any, or interest,
if any, thereon, shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender by the Company, or recovery by the Trustee, in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the Trustee timely
holding the full amount of the Required Currency then due and payable. If any such tender or recovery is in a currency other than the Required Currency, the Trustee may take such actions as it considers appropriate to exchange such currency for the
Required Currency. The costs and risks of any such exchange, including without limitation the risks of delay and exchange rate fluctuation, shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall remain fully liable for any shortfall or delinquency in the
full amount of Required Currency then due and payable, and in no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable therefor except in the case of its negligence or willful misconduct. 

SECTION 312. Extension of Interest Payment. 

The Company shall have the right at any time, so long as no Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing with respect to the
Securities of any series, to extend interest payment periods (i.e. defer interest payments) from time to time on all Securities of such series, if so specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Securities and upon such terms
as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Securities. 

  
 28 

 SECTION 313. CUSIP Numbers. 

The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Company,
the Trustee or the Security Registrar may use “CUSIP” or such other numbers in notices or 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, in which case none of the Company or, as the case may be, the
Trustee or the Security Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall have any liability in respect of any CUSIP or such other numbers used on any such notice, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such
numbers. 
 ARTICLE FOUR 

Redemption of Securities 
 SECTION 401.
Applicability of Article. 
 Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, 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 such series or Tranche) in accordance with this Article. 

SECTION 402. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate of the Company.
The Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee, in writing of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of such
Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (b) pursuant to an election
of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or
condition. 
 SECTION 403. Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series or Tranche not previously called for redemption, by such method as shall be provided for any particular series or Tranche, or, in the absence of any such provision, by such
method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may, in any case, provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or Tranche or any integral multiple
thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series or Tranche of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or Tranche; provided, however, that if, as indicated in an Officer’s
Certificate, the Company shall have offered to purchase all or 

  
 29 

 
any principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding of any series, or any Tranche thereof, and less than all of such Securities as to which such offer was made shall have been tendered to the
Company for such purchase, the Trustee, if so directed by Company Order, shall select for redemption all or any principal amount of such Securities which have not been so tendered. 

Unless the Securities to be redeemed are in the form of global securities, 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 to be redeemed in part, 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. 

SECTION 404. Notice of Redemption. 

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106 to the Holders of the Securities to be redeemed and to the
Trustee not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 for Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, all notices of redemption shall state: 
 (a) the Redemption Date,

 (b) the Redemption Price, or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be determined if the Redemption Price cannot be
determined at the time the notice is given, 
 (c) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series or Tranche are to be redeemed,
the identification of the particular Securities to be redeemed and the portion of the principal amount of any Security to be redeemed in part, 

(d) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, 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, 

(e) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any,
unless it shall have been specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Securities that such surrender shall not be required, 

(f) that the redemption is for a sinking or other fund, if such is the case, 

(g) the CUSIP numbers, if any, assigned to such Securities; provided however, that such notice may state that no representation is made
as to the correctness of CUSIP numbers, and the redemption of such Securities shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers, and 

  
 30 

 (h) such other matters as the Company shall deem desirable or appropriate. 

Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities in accordance with Section 301, with respect to any notice of redemption of
Securities at the election of the Company, unless, upon the giving of such notice, such Securities shall be deemed to have been paid in accordance with Section 701, such notice may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the
receipt by the Paying Agent or Agents for such Securities, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities and that if such money shall not
have been so received such notice shall be of no force or effect and the Company shall not be required to redeem such Securities. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not so received, the redemption
shall not be made and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so received and such redemption was not required to be made, and the Paying Agent or
Agents for the Securities otherwise to have been redeemed shall promptly return to the Holders thereof any of such Securities which had been surrendered for payment upon such redemption. 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company, and any notice of non-satisfaction of a condition for
redemption as aforesaid, shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s written request delivered at least five (5) days before such notice is to be given (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), by the Trustee
in the name and at the expense of the Company. Notice of mandatory redemption of Securities shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 

SECTION 405. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the conditions, if any, set forth in such notice having been satisfied, the Securities
or portions thereof 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, in the case of an unconditional notice of redemption, the Company shall
default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities or portions thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with such notice,
such Security or portion thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that no such surrender shall be a condition to such payment if so specified as
contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Security; and provided, further, that except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Security, any installment of interest on any Security the Stated
Maturity of which installment is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holder of such Security, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the related Regular Record Date according to
the terms of such Security and subject to the provisions of Section 307. 
 SECTION 406. Securities Redeemed in Part. 

Upon the surrender of any Security which is to be redeemed only in part at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so
requires, due endorsement by, or a 

  
 31 

 
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and Tranche, of any authorized denomination requested by such Holder and of like tenor and in
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. 
 ARTICLE
FIVE 
 Sinking Funds 
 SECTION 501.
Applicability of Article. 
 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series or Tranche. 

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, is herein
referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund
payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 502. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to
the redemption of Securities of the series or Tranche in respect of which it was made as provided for by the terms of such Securities. 
 SECTION 502.
Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 
 The Company (a) may deliver to the Trustee Outstanding Securities
(other than any previously called for redemption) of a series or Tranche in respect of which a mandatory sinking fund payment is to be made and (b) may apply as a credit Securities of such series or Tranche which have been (i) redeemed
either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities or (ii) repurchased by the Company in the open
market, by tender offer or otherwise, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of such mandatory sinking fund payment; provided, however, that no Securities shall be applied in satisfaction of a mandatory sinking fund payment if such
Securities shall have been previously so applied. Securities so applied shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the
amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

  
 32 

 SECTION 503. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying: 
 (a) the amount of the next succeeding mandatory sinking fund payment for
such series or Tranche; 
 (b) the amount, if any, of the optional sinking fund payment to be made together with such mandatory sinking fund
payment; 
 (c) the aggregate sinking fund payment; 

(d) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment which is to be satisfied by the payment of cash; and 

(e) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of such series
or Tranche pursuant to Section 502 and stating the basis for such credit and that such Securities have not previously been so credited, and the Company shall also deliver to the Trustee not later than 45 days prior to such sinking fund payment
date, any Securities to be so delivered. 
 If the Company shall not deliver such Officer’s Certificate, the next succeeding sinking
fund payment for such series or Tranche shall be made entirely in cash in the amount of the mandatory sinking fund payment. Not less than 40 days before each such sinking fund payment date, unless the Securities are held in the form of global
securities (in which case, the Securities to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of the depository), the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in
Section 403 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 404. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made
upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 405 and 406. 
 ARTICLE SIX 

Covenants 
 SECTION 601. Payment of Principal,
Premium and Interest. 
 The Company shall pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of each
series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture. 
 SECTION 602. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for the Securities of each series, or any Tranche thereof, an office or agency where
payment of such Securities shall be made or such Securities shall be surrendered for payment, where the registration of transfer or exchange of such Securities may be effected and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of such
Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or agency and prompt notice to the Holders of any such change in the manner
specified in Section 106. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof,
payment of such Securities may be made, registration of transfer or 

  
 33 

 
exchange thereof may be effected and notices and demands in respect thereof may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and each of the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its
agent for all such purposes in any such event. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies
with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche thereof, for any or all of the foregoing purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such series or Tranche, no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes in each Place of Payment for
such Securities in accordance with the requirements set forth above. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, and prompt notice to the Holders in the manner specified in Section 106, of any such designation or rescission and
of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any office or agency
required by this Section may be maintained at an office of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, in which event the Company or such Affiliate, as the case may be, shall perform all functions to be performed at such office or agency. 

SECTION 603. 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 the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, it shall, on
or before each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on any of such Securities, 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 so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor on such Securities) to make any
payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Securities. 
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying
Agents for the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities, deposit with such Paying Agents sums sufficient (without
duplication) to pay the principal and premium or interest so becoming due, such sums 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 shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by it so to act. 
 The Company shall cause each Paying Agent for the Securities of any series,
or any Tranche thereof, other than the Company or 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 shall: 

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Securities 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; 

  
 34 

 (b) give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor upon such
Securities) to make any payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Securities; and 
 (c) at any time during
the continuance of any such failure, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent and furnish to the Trustee such information as it possesses regarding the names and addresses
of the Persons entitled to such sums. 
 The Company may at any time 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 such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent and, if so stated in a Company Order delivered to the
Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of Article Seven; 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, if any, on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and premium, if any, or interest, if any, 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, upon such payment or discharge, the Holder of such Security shall, as an unsecured general creditor and not as a Holder of an Outstanding Security, look only to the Company for payment of the
amount so due and payable and remaining unpaid, 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 payment to the Company, may at the expense of the Company cause to be mailed, on one occasion only, notice to such Holder 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 mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to the Company. 
  

	SECTION 604.	Corporate Existence. 

 Subject to Article Eleven and as conversion is permitted under the
applicable organizational law of the Company, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate, limited liability, partnership, or other legal existence. 

 

	SECTION 605.	Annual Officer’s Certificate as to Compliance. 

 Not later than 120 days after the
end of each of the Company’s fiscal years, commencing in 2015, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate which need not comply with Section 102, executed by its principal executive officer, principal financial
officer or the principal accounting officer, as to such officer’s knowledge of such obligor’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture, such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice under this Indenture. 

  
 35 

	SECTION 606.	Waiver of Certain Covenants. 

 The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply
with any term, provision or condition set forth in (a) Sections 602, 608 or any additional covenant or restriction specified with respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, as contemplated by Section 301 or by clause
(b) of Section 1201 if before the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series and Tranches with respect to which compliance with Section 602, 608 or such
additional covenant or restriction is to be omitted, considered as one class, shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition and
(b) Section 604, 605 or Article Eleven if before the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities Outstanding under this Indenture shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such
compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition; but, in the case of (a) or (b), 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 607.	Restrictions on Dividends and Debt Payments. 

 If the Company shall have elected to
extend any interest payment period as provided in Section 312, and any such period, or any extension thereof, shall be continuing, then the Company shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on its capital stock,
(ii) redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to any of its capital stock, (iii) pay any principal, interest or premium on, or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities that are equal or junior in right of
payment to the Securities, or (iv) make any payments with respect to any guarantee of debt securities if such guarantee is equal or junior in right of payment to the Securities. 

The foregoing provisions do not prevent or restrict the the Company from making: (1) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of its
capital stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors or agents or a stock purchase or dividend reinvestment plan, or the satisfaction of its
obligations pursuant to any contract or security outstanding on the date that the interest payment period is extended requiring it to purchase, redeem or acquire its capital stock, (2) any payment, repayment, redemption, purchase, acquisition
or declaration of dividend described in clauses (i) and (ii) above as a result of a reclassification of its capital stock, or the exchange or conversion of all or a portion of one class or series of its capital stock for another class or
series of its capital stock, (3) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of its capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of its capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, or in connection with the
settlement of stock purchase contracts, (4) dividends or distributions paid or made in its capital stock (or rights to acquire its capital stock), or repurchases, redemptions or acquisitions of capital stock in connection with the issuance or
exchange of capital stock (or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of its capital stock and distributions in connection with the settlement of stock purchase contracts), (5) redemptions, exchanges or repurchases of, or with
respect to, any rights outstanding under a

guarantee or guarantee of subordinated debentures, which guarantee is executed and delivered by the Company concurrently with the issuance by a trust of any preferred trust securities, so long as the amount of payments made on any preferred trust
securities or subordinated debentures (as the case may be) is paid on all preferred trust securities or subordinated debentures (as the case may be) then outstanding on a pro rata basis in proportion to the full distributions to which each series of
preferred trust securities or subordinated debentures (as the case may be) is then entitled, or (7) payments under any guarantee of junior subordinated debentures executed and delivered by the Company, so long as the amount of payments made on
any junior subordinated debentures is paid on all junior subordinated debentures then outstanding on a pro rata basis in proportion to the full payment to which each series of junior subordinated debentures is then entitled. 

ARTICLE SEVEN 
 Satisfaction and
Discharge 
  

	SECTION 701.	Satisfaction and Discharge of Securities. 

 Any Security or Securities, or any portion of
the principal amount thereof, shall be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture, and the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof shall be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged, if there shall have been
irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust: 
 (a) money in an amount which shall be
sufficient, or 
 (b) in the case of a deposit made prior to the Maturity of such Securities or portions thereof, Eligible Obligations,
which shall not contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment thereof at the option of the issuer thereof, the principal of and the interest on which when due, without any regard to reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which,
together with the money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, shall be sufficient, or 
 (c) a combination of
(a) or (b) which shall be sufficient, 
 to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, due and to become due on such
Securities or portions thereof on or prior to Maturity; provided, however, that in the case of the provision for payment or redemption of less than all the Securities of any series or Tranche, such Securities or portions thereof shall have been
selected as provided herein and, in the case of a redemption, the notice requisite to the validity of such redemption shall have been given or irrevocable authority shall have been given by the Company to the Trustee to give such notice, under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee; and provided, further, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee and such Paying Agent: 

(x) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of such Securities, a Company Order stating that the money and Eligible
Obligations deposited in accordance with this Section shall be held in trust, as provided in Section 703; 

  
 37 

 (y) if Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited, (i) an Opinion of Counsel that
(A) the obligations so deposited constitute Eligible Obligations and do not contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment at the option of the issuer thereof, and (B) that all conditions precedent provided for under this
Indenture to the satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s indebtedness in respect of such Securities or portions thereof have been complied with and (ii) an opinion of an independent public accountant of nationally recognized standing,
selected by the Company, to the effect that the requirements set forth in clause (b) above have been satisfied; and 
 (z) if such
deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of such Securities, an Officer’s Certificate stating the Company’s intention that, upon delivery of such Officer’s Certificate, its indebtedness in respect of such Securities or
portions thereof will have been satisfied and discharged as contemplated in this Section. 
 Upon the deposit of money or Eligible
Obligations, or both, in accordance with this Section, together with the documents required by clauses (x), (y) and (z) above, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Request, acknowledge in writing that the Security or Securities or
portions thereof with respect to which such deposit was made are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture and that the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof have been satisfied and discharged as contemplated in
this Section. In the event that all of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph shall have been satisfied in respect of any Securities or portions thereof except that, for any reason, the Officer’s Certificate specified in clause
(z) (if otherwise required) shall not have been delivered, such Securities or portions thereof shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture, and the Holders of such Securities or portions thereof shall
nevertheless be no longer entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or of any of the covenants of the Company under Article Six (except the covenants contained in Sections 602 and 603) or any other covenants made in respect of such Securities or
portions thereof as contemplated by Section 301 or Section 1201(b), but the indebtedness of the Company in respect of such Securities or portions thereof shall not be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged prior to Maturity for any
other purpose, and the Holders of such Securities or portions thereof shall continue to be entitled to look to the Company for payment of the indebtedness represented thereby; and, upon Company Request, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that
such Securities or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture. 
 If payment at Stated Maturity of
less than all of the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, is to be provided for in the manner and with the effect provided in this Section, such Securities, or portions of principal amount thereof, shall be selected in the manner
specified by Section 403 for selection for redemption of less than all the Securities of a series or Tranche. 
 In the event that
Securities which shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture, and, if such is the case, in respect of which the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof shall have been satisfied and discharged, all as provided in this
Section do not mature and are not to be redeemed within the 60 day period commencing with the date of the deposit of moneys or Eligible Obligations, as aforesaid, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, give a notice, in the same manner as a
notice of redemption with respect to such Securities, to the Holders of such Securities to the effect that such deposit has been made and the effect thereof. 

  
 38 

 Notwithstanding that any Securities shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this
Indenture, as aforesaid, the obligations of the Company and the Trustee in respect of such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 403, 404, 406, 503 (as to notice of redemption), 602, 603, 907, 909, 910 and 915 and this Article Seven shall
survive. 
 The Company shall pay, and shall indemnify the Trustee or any Paying Agent with which Eligible Obligations shall have been
deposited as provided in this Section against, any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against such Eligible Obligations or the principal or interest received in respect of such Eligible Obligations, including, but not limited to, any
such tax payable by any entity deemed, for tax purposes, to have been created as a result of such deposit. 
 Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, (a) if, at any time after a Security would be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture, and, if such is the case, the Company’s indebtedness would be deemed to have been satisfied or discharged,
pursuant to this Section (without regard to the provisions of this paragraph), the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be, (i) shall be required to return the money or Eligible Obligations, or combination thereof, deposited with it as
aforesaid to the Company or its representative under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or (ii) are unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of
any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, such Security shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been paid and any satisfaction and discharge of the
Company’s indebtedness shall retroactively be deemed not to have been effected, and such Security shall be deemed to remain Outstanding and (b) any satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s indebtedness in respect of any Security
shall be subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 603. 
  

	SECTION 702.	Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

 This Indenture shall upon Company Request be
delivered to the Trustee, together with an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with, cease to be of further effect
(except as hereinafter expressly provided), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when 

(a) no Securities remain Outstanding hereunder; and 

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

provided, however, that if, in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 701, any Security, previously deemed to have been paid for purposes of this
Indenture, shall be deemed retroactively not to have been so paid, this Indenture shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been satisfied and discharged, as aforesaid, and to remain in full force and effect, and the Company shall execute
and deliver such instruments as the Trustee shall reasonably request to evidence and acknowledge the same. 

  
 39 

 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as aforesaid, the obligations of
the Company and the Trustee under Sections 304, 305, 306, 403, 404, 406, 503 (as to notice of redemption), 602, 603, 907, 909, 910 and 915 and this Article Seven shall survive. 

Upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in this Section, the Trustee shall upon receipt of a Company Request assign,
transfer and turn over to the Company or to the order of the Company, subject to the lien provided by Section 907, any and all money, securities and other property then held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities other
than money and Eligible Obligations held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 703 and shall execute and deliver to the Company such instruments as, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, shall be necessary, to effect or evidence the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
  

	SECTION 703.	Application of Trust Money. 

 Neither the Eligible Obligations nor the money deposited
pursuant to Section 701, nor the principal or interest payments on any such Eligible Obligations, shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and such Eligible Obligations and money deposited and the principal and interest payments
on any such Eligible Obligations shall be held in trust for, the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities or portions of principal amount thereof in respect of which such deposit was made, all subject,
however, to the provisions of Section 603; provided, however, that, so long as there shall not have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, any cash received from such principal or interest payments on such Eligible Obligations, if not
then needed for such purpose, shall, to the extent practicable, be invested at the written direction of the Company in Eligible Obligations of the type described in clause (b) in the first paragraph of Section 701 maturing at such times
and in such amounts as shall be sufficient, as determined by the Company, together with any other moneys and the proceeds of any other Eligible Obligations then held by the Trustee, to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest,
if any, due and to become due on such Securities or portions thereof on and prior to the Maturity thereof, and interest earned from such reinvestment shall upon receipt of a Company Request be paid over to the Company or to the order of the Company
as received, free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge under this Indenture except the lien provided by Section 907; and provided, further, that, so long as there shall not have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, any moneys held
in accordance with this Section on the Maturity of all such Securities in excess of the amount required to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due on such Securities, as determined by the Company, shall upon receipt
of a Company Request be paid over to the Company or to the order of the Company free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge under this Indenture except the lien provided by Section 907; and provided, further, that if an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, moneys to be paid over to the Company or to the order of the Company pursuant to this Section shall be held until such Event of Default shall have been waived or cured. 

For the avoidance of doubt, any moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Section 703 shall be invested by the Trustee only at
the written direction of the Company (such direction to specify the particular investment to be made), if and to the extent then permitted by law, in Eligible Obligations. In the event of a loss on the sale of such investments (after giving

  
 40 

 
effect to any interest or other income thereon except to the extent theretofore paid to the Company), the Trustee shall have no responsibility in respect of such loss except that the Trustee
shall notify the Company of the amount of such loss and the Company shall promptly pay such amount to the Trustee to be credited as part of the moneys originally invested. The Trustee shall have no liability whatsoever for any loss, fee, tax or
other charge incurred in connection with any investment, reinvestment or liquidation of an investment hereunder.

Events of Default; Remedies 
  

	SECTION 801.	Events of Default. 

 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to
Securities of any series, means any one of the following events, subject to such additions and exceptions as may be provided pursuant to Section 301: 

(a) failure to pay interest, on any Security of such series within 30 days after the same becomes due and payable (whether or not payment is
prohibited by the subordination provisions of Article Fourteen or Article Fifteen hereof); provided, however, that a valid extension of the interest payment period or deferral of interest payment by the Company as contemplated in Section 312 of
this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose; or 
 (b) failure
to pay the principal of or premium, if any, on any Security of such series when it becomes due and payable (whether or not payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions of Article Fourteen or Article Fifteen hereof); or 

(c) failure to perform, or breach of, any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default
in the performance of which or breach of which 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 such series) and the
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 33% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, unless the Trustee, or the Trustee and the Holders
of a principal amount of Securities of such series not less than the principal amount of Securities the Holders of which gave such notice, as the case may be, shall agree in writing to an extension of such period prior to its expiration; provided,
however, that the Trustee, or the Trustee and the Holders of such principal amount of Securities of such series, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have agreed to an extension of such period if corrective action is initiated by the Company
within such period and is being diligently pursued in good faith; or 
 (d) Reserved; or 

(e) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (1) 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 (2) a decree or 

  
 41 

 
order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition by one or more Persons other than the Company 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 for the Company or for any substantial part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order shall have remained unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or 

(f) 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 other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Company to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in a 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 the Company, or the filing by the Company of a petition or answer or consent
seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by the Company 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 the Company of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Company in writing of its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, or the authorization of such action by the Board of Directors of the Company; or 
 (g) any other Event of
Default specified with respect to Securities of such series. 
  

	SECTION 802.	Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

 If an Event of Default applicable
to the Securities of one or more series, but not applicable to all Outstanding Securities, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each such
series may then declare the principal amount of all Securities of such series (or, if any of the Securities of such series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof as
contemplated by Section 301) and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately (provided that the payment of principal and interest on such Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in this Indenture), by a notice
in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such declaration of acceleration, such principal amount (or specified amount) and interest accrued thereon shall become immediately due
and payable. If an Event of Default applicable to all Outstanding Securities shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in principal amount of all Securities then Outstanding (considered as one
class), and not the Holders of the Securities of any one of such series, may declare the principal of all Securities (or, if any of the Securities of such series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may
be specified in the terms thereof as contemplated by Section 301) and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately (provided that the payment of principal and interest on such Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent
provided in this Indenture), by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such declaration of acceleration, such principal amount (or specified amount) and interest
accrued thereon shall become immediately due and payable. 

  
 42 

 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series
shall have been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due shall have been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Event or Events of Default giving rise to such declaration of acceleration shall,
without further act, be deemed to have been waived, and such declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if 

(a) the Company shall have paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 

(1) all overdue interest, if any, on all Securities of such series then Outstanding; 

(2) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Securities of such series then Outstanding which have become due otherwise
than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities; 

(3) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed
therefor in such Securities; 
 (4) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907; and 

(b) if, after application of money paid or deposited in accordance with clause (a) of this Section 802, Securities of such series
would remain Outstanding, any other Event or Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of such series which shall have become due solely by such declaration of
acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 813. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

	SECTION 803.	Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

 If an Event of Default
described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 801 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of the series with respect to which such
Event of Default shall have occurred, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on premium, if any, and on any overdue principal
and interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, the rate or rates at which Securities shall bear interest on overdue principal, premium, interest, if any, shall be, to the extent permitted by law, the same rate or rates at which such
Securities shall bear interest prior to Maturity. 

  
 43 

 If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other
obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or 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 shall have occurred and be 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 804.	Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

 In case of the pendency of any receivership,
insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for
the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (a) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, 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 amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

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

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 amounts due it under Section 907. 

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

 

	SECTION 805.	Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 

 All rights of action and
claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production 

  
 44 

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

 

	SECTION 806.	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, or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Securities in respect
of which or for the benefit of which such money shall have been collected 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 907; 

Second: Subject to the provisions of Articles Fourteen and Fifteen, the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for
principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, 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, premium, if any, and interest, if any, respectively; and 
 Third: To the Company. 

 

	SECTION 807.	Limitation on Suits. 

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

(a) such Holder shall have previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of
such series; 
 (b) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, considered as one class, shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 

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

  
 45 

 (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee
during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, considered as one class; 

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 (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly
prejudicial to 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 808.	Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 307 and 312) interest, if any, on 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 without the consent of such Holder. 
  

	SECTION 809.	Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

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

	SECTION 810.	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 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 811.	Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder 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. 

  
 46 

	SECTION 812.	Control by Holders of Securities. 

 If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing in respect of a series of Securities, 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, with respect to the Securities of such series; provided, however, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to more than one
series of Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all such series, considered as one class, shall have the right to make such direction, and not the Holders of the Securities of any one of
such series; and provided, further, that 
 (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and
could not involve the Trustee in personal liability in circumstances where indemnity would not, in the Trustee’s sole discretion, be adequate, and 

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

 

	SECTION 813.	Waiver of Past Defaults. 

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

(a) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security of such series, or 

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 1202 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder
of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any and all Events 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 814.	Undertaking for Costs. 

 The Company and the Trustee agree, and each Holder by his
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party
litigant in such suit, 

  
 47 

 
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 aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which such suit may be
brought, considered as one class, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on 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 815.	Waiver of Usury, 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 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. 

ARTICLE NINE 
 The Trustee 

 

	SECTION 901.	Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 

 (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of
Default with respect to Securities of any series, 
 (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform, with respect to Securities of
such series, 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 

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may, with respect to Securities of such series, 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 provisions 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 (but need not confirm or
investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (b) In case an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of any series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall exercise, with respect to the Securities of such series, 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 or her own affairs. 

  
 48 

 (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: 
 (i) this
subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section; 
 (ii) 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; 

(iii) 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 one or more series, as provided herein, 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 

(iv) 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. 
 (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 902.	Notice of Defaults. 

 The Trustee shall give notice of any default hereunder with respect
to the Securities of any series to the Holders of Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent required to do so by the Trust Indenture Act, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that in the case of any
default of the character specified in Section 801(c), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 45 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 the Securities of such series. 
  

	SECTION 903.	Certain Rights of Trustee. 

 Subject to the provisions of Section 901 and to the
applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act: 
 (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining

have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate of the Company; 

(d) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 

(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 Holder pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in 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, 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 (subject to applicable legal requirements) with prior notice to the Company be
entitled to examine, during normal business hours, the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such
inquiry or investigation;

(h) except as otherwise provided in Section 801, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of any series for which it is acting as Trustee unless either (1) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of the Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Event of Default shall have been given
to the Trustee by the Company or any other obligor on such Securities or by any Holder of such Securities; 
 (i) the Trustee shall not be
liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; 

  
 50 

 (j) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including,
without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder; 

(k) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized
at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture; 
 (l) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for
special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of
action; and 
 (m) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations
hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or
acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the
banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 
  

	SECTION 904.	Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 

 The recitals contained herein
and in the Securities (except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 

 

	SECTION 905.	May Hold Securities. 

 Each of the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent,
any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 908 and 913, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same
rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 
  

	SECTION 906.	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 or investment of any money received by it hereunder except as expressly provided herein or otherwise agreed with, and for the
sole benefit of, the Company. 

  
 51 

	SECTION 907.	Compensation and Reimbursement. 

 The Company agrees 

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

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except to the extent that any such expense,
disbursement or advance may be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; and 
 (c) to indemnify each
of the Trustee and its agents for and hold them harmless from and against, any loss, liability claims, damage or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee, incurred without
negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder or the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any
claim (whether accepted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section 907,
except to the extent any such loss, liability claim, damage or expense is due to its own negligence or bad faith. 
 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 other than property and funds held in trust under
Section 703 (except as otherwise provided in Section 703). “Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not
affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of
Default specified in Section 801(d) or Section 801(e), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 
 The provisions of this Section 907 shall survive the
termination of this Indenture. 
  

	SECTION 908.	Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. 

 If the Trustee shall have or acquire any
conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, it shall either eliminate such conflicting interest or resign to the extent, in the manner and with the effect, and subject to the conditions, provided in the Trust Indenture Act
and this Indenture. 

  
 52 

	SECTION 909.	Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 

 There shall at all times be a Trustee
hereunder which shall be 
 (a) a Corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any State or Territory
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 authority, or 

(b) if and to the extent permitted by the Commission by rule, regulation or order upon application, a Corporation or other Person organized
and doing business under the laws of a foreign government, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or the Dollar equivalent of the applicable foreign currency and
subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a political subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees, 

and, in either case, qualified and eligible under this Article and the Trust Indenture Act. If such Corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such 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 and the Trust Indenture Act, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the

	SECTION 910.	Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

 (a) No resignation or removal of the
Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 911. 

(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 911 shall not have been delivered to the 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, the Company. 

(d) If at any time: 

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 908 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who
has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months, or 

  
 53 

 (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 909 or
Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, 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, 

then, in any such case, (x) the Company by Board Resolutions may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or (y) subject to
Section 814, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder 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 (other than as contemplated in clause (y) in subsection (d) of this Section), with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by Board
Resolutions, 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 (subject to Section 914) there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 911. If, within one year after
such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 911, become the successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or
the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 911, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of itself 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) So long as
no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and except with respect to a Trustee appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, if the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (i) Board Resolutions appointing a successor Trustee, effective as of a date specified therein, and (ii) an
instrument of acceptance of such appointment, effective as of such date, by such successor Trustee in accordance with Section 911, the Trustee shall be deemed to have resigned as contemplated in subsection (b) of this Section, the
successor Trustee shall be deemed to have been appointed by the Company pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section and such appointment shall be deemed to have been accepted as contemplated in Section 911, all as of such date, and all
other provisions of this Section and Section 911 shall be applicable to such resignation, appointment and acceptance except to the extent inconsistent with this subsection (f). 

  
 54 

 (g) 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 911.	Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

 (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of all series, 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, 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 all sums owed to it, 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 such 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 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, 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, upon payment of all sums owed to it, 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. 

  
 55 

 (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee and the Company shall execute any instruments
which fully vest in and confirm to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in subsection (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 912.	Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 

 Any Corporation or other
Person 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 913.	Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

 If the Trustee shall be or become a
creditor of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities (other than by reason of a relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), the Trustee shall be subject to any and all applicable provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company or such other obligor. 
  

	SECTION 914.	Co-trustees and Separate Trustees. 

 At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the
legal requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, the
Company shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee,
or to act as separate trustee, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable,
subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Company does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall
have power to make such appointment. 
 Should any written instrument or instruments from the Company be required by any co-trustee or
separate trustee to more fully confirm to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company. 

  
 56 

 Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent
only, be appointed subject to the following conditions: 
 (a) the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered, and all rights,
powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised solely, by the Trustee; 

(b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by such
appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed either by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee,
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be
exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee. 
 (c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it,
with the concurrence of the Company, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept
the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Company. Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Company shall join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and
agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section; 

(d) no co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee, or any other such
trustee hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any such co-trustee or separate trustee; and 

(e) any Act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee. 

 

	SECTION 915.	Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 

 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or
Agents acceptable to the Company with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche thereof, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series or Tranche, issued upon original
issuance, exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof 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

  
 57 

 
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, any State or Territory thereof or the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such 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, the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent, 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. 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 Company agrees to pay to each
Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 
 The provisions of Sections 308, 904
and 905 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent. 
 If an appointment with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any
Tranche thereof, shall be made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series or Tranche may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication substantially
in the following form: 

  
 58 

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

  

							
	Dated:	 		 	                    , as Trustee
				
		 		 	By:	 	 
		 		 		 	As Authenticating Agent
				
		 		 	By:	 	 
		 		 		 	 Authorized Signatory

 If all of the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does not
have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in
writing (which writing need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint, in accordance with this Section and in accordance with such procedures as shall be acceptable to the Trustee, an
Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such series of Securities.

created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 901) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental
indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, immunities or liabilities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
  

	SECTION 1204.	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. Any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article may restate this Indenture in its entirety, and, upon the execution and delivery thereof, any such restatement shall supersede this Indenture as theretofore in
effect for all purposes. 
  

	SECTION 1205.	Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. 

 Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to
this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 
  

	SECTION 1206.	Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures. 

 Securities of any series, or any
Tranche thereof, 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, or any Tranche thereof, 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 or Tranche. 

  
 64 

	SECTION 1207.	Modification Without Supplemental Indenture. 

 If the terms of any particular series of
Securities shall have been established in a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to a Board Resolution as contemplated by Section 301, and not in an indenture supplemental hereto, additions to, changes in or the
elimination of any of such terms may be effected by means of a supplemental Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate, as the case may be, delivered to, and accepted in writing by, the Trustee; provided, however, that such supplemental Board
Resolution or Officer’s Certificate shall not be accepted by the Trustee or otherwise be effective unless all conditions set forth in this Indenture which would be required to be satisfied if such additions, changes or elimination were
contained in a supplemental indenture shall have been appropriately satisfied. Upon the acceptance thereof by the Trustee, any such supplemental Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate shall be deemed to be a “supplemental
indenture” for purposes of Sections 1204 and 1206.

 65 

 
or in such other place as shall be determined or approved by the Company for such meeting and may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in subsection

	SECTION 1304.	Quorum; Action. 

 The Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to which a meeting shall have been called as hereinbefore provided, considered as one class, shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders of Securities of such series and
Tranches; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at such meeting which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as one class, the Persons entitled to vote such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as one class, shall constitute a
quorum. In the absence of a quorum within one hour of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities of such series and Tranches, be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be
adjourned for such period as may be determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for such period as may
be determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Except as provided by Section 1305(e), notice of the reconvening of any meeting adjourned for more than 30 days shall be given as provided in
Section 1302(a) not less than 10 days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of the principal amount of

 66 

 Except as limited by Section 1202, any resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned
meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to which
such meeting shall have been called, considered as one class; provided, however, that, except as so limited, any resolution with respect to any action which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage,
which is less than a majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as one class, may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid
by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as one class. 

Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Securities duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on
all the Holders of Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to which such meeting shall have been held, whether or not present or represented at the meeting. 
  

	SECTION 1305.	Attendance at Meetings; Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings. 

(a) Attendance at meetings of Holders of Securities may be in person or by proxy; and, to the extent permitted by law, any such proxy shall
remain in effect and be binding upon any future Holder of the Securities with respect to which it was given unless and until specifically revoked by the Holder or future Holder of such Securities before being voted. 

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any
meeting of Holders of Securities in regard to proof of the holding of such Securities and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and
other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the
manner specified in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid
and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or other proof. 
 (c) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a
temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 1302(b), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series and Tranches calling the meeting, as
the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of all series and Tranches represented at the meeting, considered as one class. 
 (d) At any meeting each Holder or proxy shall
be entitled to one vote for each $1 principal amount of Securities held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall 

  
 67 

 
be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have
no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security or proxy. 
 (e) Any meeting duly called pursuant to Section 1302 at which a quorum
is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series and Tranches represented at the meeting, considered as one class; and the meeting may be
held as so adjourned without further notice. 
  

	SECTION 1306.	Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings. 

 The vote upon any resolution submitted
to any meeting of Holders shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities, of the series and
Tranches with respect to which the meeting shall have been called, held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution
and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in triplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and
there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and
showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1302 and, if applicable, Section 1304. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be
delivered to each of the Company and the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated. 

 

	SECTION 1307.	Action Without Meeting. 

 In lieu of a vote of Holders at a meeting as hereinbefore
contemplated in this Article, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be made, given or taken by Holders by written instruments as provided in Section 104. 

ARTICLE FOURTEEN 
 RESERVED 

ARTICLE FIFTEEN 
 Subordination of
Securities 
  

	SECTION 1501.	Securities Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness of the Company. 

 The Company, for itself,
its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of the Securities of each series, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on each and
all of the Securities is hereby expressly subordinated and junior in right of payment, and subject, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the
Company. However, the Securities of each series will rank equally in right of payment with any Pari Passu Securities of the Company. 

  
 68 

 Each Holder of the Securities of each series, by its acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs
the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article, and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 

 

	SECTION 1502.	Payment Over of Proceeds of Securities. 

 In the event (a) of any insolvency or
bankruptcy proceedings or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in respect of the Company or a substantial part of its property and assets, or of any proceedings for liquidation, dissolution or other winding up
of the Company, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (b) subject to the provisions of Section 1503, that (i) a default shall have occurred with respect to the payment of principal of or interest on or other monetary
amounts due and payable on any Senior Indebtedness of the Company, or (ii) there shall have occurred a default (other than a default in the payment of principal or interest or other monetary amounts due and payable) in respect of any Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, as defined therein or in the instrument under which the same is outstanding, permitting the holder or holders thereof, or any other Person on its or their behalf to accelerate the maturity thereof (with notice or lapse
of time, or both), and such default shall have continued beyond the period of grace, if any, in respect thereof, and, in the cases of subclauses (i) and (ii) of this clause (b), such default shall not have been cured or waived or shall not
have ceased to exist, or (c) that the principal of and/or premium, if any, and/or accrued interest, if any, on the Securities of any series shall have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 801 and such declaration shall not
have been rescinded and annulled as provided in Section 802, then: 
 (1) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness of the
Company shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon, or provision shall be made for such payment in money or money’s worth, before the Holders of any of the Securities are entitled to receive a payment on account
of the principal of, premium if any, or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, including, without limitation, any payments made pursuant to Articles Four and Five; 

(2) any payment by, or distribution of property or assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property
or securities, to which any Holder or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating
trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior
Indebtedness of the Company may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness of the Company remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior 

  
 69 

 
Indebtedness of the Company, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities or to the Trustee under this Indenture; and 

(3) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or distribution of property or assets of, the Company of
any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, in respect of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities or in connection with any repurchase by the Company of the Securities, shall be received by the Trustee or
any Holder before all Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, or provision is made for such payment in money or money’s worth, such payment or distribution in respect of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the
Securities or in connection with any repurchase by the Company of the Securities shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture under which any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness of the Company may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company remaining unpaid until all such Senior
Indebtedness of the Company shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the 123rd day following the date of deposit of cash or Eligible Obligations pursuant to
Section 701 or 702 (provided all conditions set out in such Section shall have been satisfied), the funds so deposited and any interest thereon will not be subject to any rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company including,
without limitation, those arising under this Article Fifteen; provided that no event described in clauses (e) and (f) of Section 801 with respect to the Company has occurred during such 123-day period. 

For purposes of this Article only, the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the
Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other Person provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which are subordinate in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness of the Company which may at the time
be outstanding to the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article. The 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 property and assets as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another Person upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article Eleven hereof shall not be deemed a
dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 1502 if such other Person shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article Eleven
hereof. Nothing in Section 1501 or in this Section 1502 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 907. 

  
 70 

	SECTION 1503.	Disputes with Holders of Certain Senior Indebtedness of the Company. 

 Any failure by the
Company to make any payment on or perform any other obligation in respect of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, other than any indebtedness incurred by the Company or assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the Company for money borrowed
(or any deferral, renewal, extension or refunding thereof) or any other obligation as to which the provisions of this Section shall have been waived by the Company in the instrument or instruments by which the Company incurred, assumed, guaranteed
or otherwise created such indebtedness or obligation, shall not be deemed a default under clause (b) of Section 1502 if (i) the Company shall be disputing its obligation to make such payment or perform such obligation and
(ii) either (A) no final judgment relating to such dispute shall have been issued against the Company which is in full force and effect and is not subject to further review, including a judgment that has become final by reason of the
expiration of the time within which a party may seek further appeal or review, or (B) in the event that a judgment that is subject to further review or appeal has been issued, the Company shall in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or other
proceeding for review and a stay or execution shall have been obtained pending such appeal or review. 
  

	SECTION 1504.	Subrogation. 

 Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall not be deemed to have been paid
in full unless the holders thereof shall have received cash (or securities or other property satisfactory to such holders) in full payment of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company then outstanding. Upon the payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, the rights of the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to receive any further payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the
Company applicable to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company until all amounts owing on the Securities shall be paid in full; and such payments or distributions of cash, property or securities received by the Holders of the
Securities, by reason of such subrogation, which otherwise would be paid or distributed to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company, and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, it being understood that the provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative
rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company, on the other hand. 
  

	SECTION 1505.	Obligation of the Company Unconditional. 

 Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere
in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the
Holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by

  
 71 

 
applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company in respect of cash, property or securities
of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy. 
 Upon any payment or distribution of assets, cash or property or securities
of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization
proceedings are pending for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company 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. 
 The Trustee shall be entitled to
conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company (or a representative of such holder or a trustee under any indenture under which any instruments
evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness of the Company may have been issued) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such representative or trustee on behalf of such holder. 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, or its representative or representatives or trustee or trustees under any indenture under which
any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness of the Company may have been issued, 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 of the Company 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 right 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 or distribution. 

 

	SECTION 1506.	Priority of Senior Indebtedness of the Company Upon Maturity. 

 Upon the maturity of the
principal of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, all matured principal of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and interest, premium and other payment obligation, if any, thereon shall first be paid in
full before any payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest, if any, is made upon the Securities or before any Securities can be acquired by the Company or any sinking fund payment is made with respect to the Securities (except that
required sinking fund payments may be reduced by Securities acquired before such maturity of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company). 
  

	SECTION 1507.	Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company; Preservation of Trustee’ Rights. 

The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of the
Company at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company. Nothing in this Article shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 

  
 72 

 Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant
to Section 907. 
  

	SECTION 1508.	Notice to Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. 

 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. Failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Securities to Senior
Indebtedness. 
 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 of moneys to or by the Trustee unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at the address specified in Section 105 from the
Company, from a Holder or from a holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or from any representative or representatives of such holder or any trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any such Senior
Indebtedness of the Company may have been issued and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled, subject to Section 901, in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that, if a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall not have received, at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such money may become payable for any purpose, with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this
Section, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and/or apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary, which may be received by it within three Business Days prior to such date; provided, however, that no such application shall affect the obligations under this Article of the persons receiving such moneys from the Trustee.

  

	SECTION 1509.	Modification, Extension, etc. of Senior Indebtedness of the Company. 

 The holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Company or their representative or representatives or the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness of the Company may have been issued may, without
affecting in any manner the subordination of the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities, at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, agree with the Company to change the
manner, place or terms of payment, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any Senior Indebtedness of the Company, or amend or supplement any instrument pursuant to which any Senior Indebtedness of the Company is issued, or
exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness of the Company including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, all without notice to or assent from the Holders or the Trustee. 

  
 73 

	SECTION 1510.	Trustee Has No Fiduciary Duty to Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company. 

 With
respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and objectives as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations with
respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and shall not be
liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or deliver to the Holders or the Company or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or
otherwise. 
  

	SECTION 1511.	Paying Agents Other Than the Trustee. 

 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 shall otherwise require) 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 Sections 1507, 1508 and 1510 shall not apply to the Company
if it acts as Paying Agent. 
  

	SECTION 1512.	Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company Not Impaired. 

 No right of any
present or future holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any noncompliance 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. 
  

	SECTION 1513.	Effect of Subordination Provisions; Termination. 

 Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, other than as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, all the provisions of this Indenture shall be subject to the provisions of this Article, so far as the same may be applicable thereto. 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Article Fifteen shall be of no further effect, and the
Securities shall no longer be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, if, and to the extent, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee a notice to such effect. Any such notice delivered by
the Company shall not be deemed to be a supplemental indenture for purposes of Article Twelve. 

  
 74 

 ARTICLE SIXTEEN 

Immunity of Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers, Directors, Members and Partners 

 

	SECTION 1601.	Liability Solely To Company. 

 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal
of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Securities, or any part thereof, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, or of the indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under this
Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, partner or other interest holder as such, past, present or future of the Company or of any predecessor or successor Person of the Company (either directly or through the

of this Section 2.01. 
 Section 2.02 Stated Maturity. The “Stated Maturity” of the Notes is,
initially, June 1, 2024; provided, however, such date may be changed as set forth in Section 9.04. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Notes, the term “Stated Maturity” refers only to the date on which
principal is due and payable as set forth in this Section 2.02 and Section 9.04. 

  
 3 

 Section 2.03 Form and Payment; Minimum Transfer Restriction. 

(a) Except as provided in Section 2.04, the Notes shall be issued in fully registered definitive form without coupons. All Notes shall
have identical terms. Notes corresponding to Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are components of Corporate Units shall be registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent. Principal of the Notes will be payable (subject to the last
sentence of this Section 2.03(a)), the transfer of such Notes will be registrable, and such Notes will be exchangeable for Notes of a like aggregate principal amount bearing identical terms and provisions, at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in the form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, payment of interest will be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in
the Security Register or, if such Person so requests and designates an account in writing to the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, by wire transfer to such account, and provided, further, that the
Company, in its discretion may remove the Paying Agent and may appoint one or more additional Paying Agents (including the Company or any of its affiliates). Payments with respect to any Global Note or any Note corresponding to Applicable Ownership
Interests in Notes that are components of Corporate Units will be made by wire transfer to the Depository or in accordance with any other applicable procedures of the Depository. 

(b) The Notes shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that
upon the release by the Collateral Agent of Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes in accordance with Section 3.15 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, if any Holder or Beneficial Owner shall be entitled
to receive Notes in an aggregate principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $1,000, the Purchase Contract Agent may request, on behalf of such Holder or Beneficial Owner, that the Company issue Notes in denominations of $50, or integral
multiples thereof, in exchange for Notes in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. Section 302 of the Base Indenture shall not apply with respect to the Notes, and any reference in the Base Indenture to such provision shall, for
purposes of the Notes, be deemed to refer instead to this Section 2.03(b). 
 Section 2.04 Exchange and Registration of
Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfers; Depositary. Notes corresponding to Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are no longer a component of the Corporate Units and are released from the Collateral Account will be initially
issued in permanent global form (a “Global Note”), and if issued as one or more Global Notes, the Depository shall be The Depository Trust Company or such other depository that is a clearing agency registered under Section 17A
of the Exchange Act as any officer of the Company may from time to time designate. On the date on which the Notes registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent pursuant to Section 2.03 are issued, the Company shall also issue one or
more Global Notes, registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee, each having a zero principal balance. Upon the creation of Treasury Units, or the re-creation of Corporate Units or in any other case where the Collateral Agent releases
Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, an appropriate annotation shall be made on the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Notes on the Global Notes held by the Depository and on the Pledged Note held by the
Collateral Agent. Except upon recreation of Corporate Units, Notes represented by the Global Notes will be exchangeable for Notes in certificated form only (x) if the Depository (A) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable
to continue as depository for the Global Notes or (B) has ceased to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor depository that is a clearing agency registered under Section 17A of
the Exchange Act is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after such notice or cessation, or (y) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or any other event that after notice or lapse of time, would constitute
an Event of Default with respect to the Notes and any beneficial owner of a Global Note requests that its beneficial interest be exchanged for a Note in certificated form; provided, subject to Section 2.03, that the Notes in certificated form
so issued in exchange for the Global Notes shall be in denominations of $1,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000 above that amount and shall be of like aggregate principal amount and tenor as the portion of the Global Note to be exchanged. Except as
provided above, owners of beneficial interest in a Global Note will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture. Any Global Note that
is exchangeable pursuant to clause (x) of the fourth sentence of this Section 2.04 shall be exchangeable for Notes in certificated form registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. 

  
 4 

 Section 2.05 Interest. 

(a) Subject to Article IV and Section 9.04, interest on the Notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year (each, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.05(b), an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing September 1, 2014 and at
maturity, whether Stated Maturity or otherwise, to the Person in whose name the relevant Notes are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date except that interest payable at the Stated Maturity
shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and with respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed during the period. If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, the Stated Maturity or the date (if any) on which the Company is required to purchase the Notes pursuant to Section 9.05 is not a Business Day, then the applicable
payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue or be paid in respect of such delay. Section 113 of the Base Indenture is hereby superseded in its entirety, with respect to the Notes, by the
immediately preceding sentence. 
 (b) The Notes will bear interest initially at the rate of 2.50% per year (the “Coupon
Rate”) from and including June 17, 2014 to, but excluding, the date the principal amount thereof is paid or made available for payment, or in the event of a Successful Remarketing, the Remarketing Settlement Date. In the event of a
Successful Remarketing of the Notes, the interest rate applicable to the Notes may be reset by the Remarketing Agent(s) to the applicable Reset Rate with effect from the Remarketing Settlement Date, as set forth in Section 9.03. If the interest
rate is so reset, the Notes will bear interest at the applicable Reset Rate from, and including, the Remarketing Settlement Date to, but excluding, the date the principal amount thereof is paid or made available for payment. In the event of a
Successful Remarketing, following the applicable Remarketing Settlement Date, interest on Notes will be payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 and, if the Notes are remarketed as floating-rate notes, interest on the Notes will be
payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the next following Business Day. If the Company remarkets the Notes as
floating-rate notes, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Company may modify the Interest Payment Dates to provide that if any March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 is not a Business Day, the relevant
Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day. If there is no Successful Remarketing, the interest rate will not be reset, the Interest Payment Dates shall remain the same and the Notes shall continue to bear interest at the
Coupon Rate. The Notes shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue principal and interest at the Coupon Rate, unless a Successful Remarketing shall have occurred, in which case on and after the Remarketing Settlement Date the
Notes shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue principal and interest at the Reset Rate. Section 307 of the Base Indenture shall not apply with respect to the Notes, and any reference in the Base Indenture to such
provision shall, for purposes of the Notes, be deemed to refer instead to this Section 2.05. 
 Section 2.06 Events of
Default. 
 Any Event of Default as defined in the Base Indenture shall be an Event of Default with respect to the Notes;
provided that the nonpayment of interest for so long as and to the extent that interest is permitted to be deferred pursuant to Article IV herein shall not be deemed to be a default in the payment of interest for the purposes of Article VIII
of the Base Indenture and shall not otherwise be deemed an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. 
 In addition, an Event of Default
with respect to the Notes will occur if the Company fails to pay the Put Price of any Note on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date after a Holder’s Put Right has been exercised pursuant to Section 9.05 (“Put Right
Default”). For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to any other remedies that may be available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, no breach by the Company of any covenant or obligation under the Base Indenture or the
terms of the Notes shall be an Event of Default except those that are specifically identified as an Event of Default under the Base Indenture (including, for the avoidance of doubt in Section 801(c) of the Base Indenture) or a Put Right
Default. 
 Section 2.07 No Defeasance. Prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the provisions of
Section 701 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. 

  
 5 

 Section 2.08 No Sinking Fund or Repayment at Option of the Holder. The Notes
shall not be subject to any sinking fund or analogous provision and, except in the case of the Put Right, shall not be repayable at the option of a Holder thereof prior to the Stated Maturity. 

Section 2.09 Increase and Decrease in Pledged Notes. In the event that any Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership
Interests in Notes with respect to any Corporate Units in global form are to be released from the Pledge following a Termination Event, Collateral Substitution, Cash Settlement, Successful Remarketing, Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early
Settlement pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (a “Released Note”), such release and delivery shall be evidenced by an endorsement by the Collateral Agent on the Note held by the Collateral Agent (the
“Pledged Note”) reflecting a reduction in the principal amount of such Pledged Note equal in amount (the “Reduced Principal Amount”) to the principal amount of the Released Note. The Collateral Agent shall confirm
any such Reduced Principal Amount by telecopying or otherwise delivering a photocopy of such endorsement made on the Pledged Note evidencing such Reduced Principal Amount to the Trustee at the telecopier number or address of the Trustee provided for
notices to the Trustee Section 12.06 (or at such other telecopier or address as the Trustee shall provide to the Collateral Agent). Upon receipt of such confirmation, the Trustee shall increase the principal amount of a Global Note held by the
Trustee in an amount equal to the Reduced Principal Amount by an endorsement made by the Trustee on such Global Note to reflect such increase. In the event that a Note is transferred to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 3.14 of the
Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (a “Subjected Note”) in connection with the re-creation of Corporate Units, such transfer shall be evidenced by an endorsement by the Collateral Agent on the Pledged Note held by the Collateral
Agent reflecting an increase in the principal amount of such Pledged Note equal in amount (the “Increased Principal Amount”) to the principal amount of such Subjected Note. The Collateral Agent shall confirm any such Increased
Principal Amount by telecopying or otherwise delivering a photocopy of such endorsement made on the Pledged Note evidencing such Increased Principal Amount to the Trustee at the telecopier number or address of the Trustee provided for notices to the
Trustee in Section 12.06 (or at such other telecopier or address as the Trustee shall provide to the Collateral Agent). Upon receipt of such confirmation, the Trustee shall decrease the principal amount of the Global Note held by the Trustee in
an amount equal to the Increased Principal Amount by an endorsement made by the Trustee on such Global Note to reflect such decrease. 

Section 2.10 No Additional Amounts. The Company will not pay any additional amounts to any Holder in respect of any tax,
assessment or governmental charge. 
 Section 2.11 Reserved. 

Section 2.12 Waiver of Defaults. The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes, at the time
Outstanding 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 under the Indenture with respect to the Notes;
provided, however, that, subject to Section 901 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by Opinion of Counsel determines that the action so directed may not
lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of
Holders of the Notes not parties to such direction; and provided, further, that nothing in the Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by the
Holders of the Notes. The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, may waive any past default under the Indenture with respect to the Notes, except a default in the payment of the principal of or
interest on any of the Notes or in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture which under Article XII of the Base Indenture (as amended hereby) cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note so 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 the Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any
right consequent thereon. Any such waiver shall be deemed to be on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes. 
 Section 812 of the Base
Indenture shall not apply to the Notes, and any reference in the Base Indenture to such provision shall, for purposes of the Notes, be deemed to refer instead to the applicable provision in this Section 2.12.

 Section 2.13 Waiver of Covenants. The Company may omit in any particular
instance to comply with any covenant or condition specifically contained in the Indenture for the benefit of the Notes, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding shall
waive such compliance in such instance, 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 607 of the Base Indenture
shall not apply to the Notes, and any reference in the Base Indenture to such provision shall, for purposes of the Notes, be deemed to refer instead to the applicable provision in this Section 2.13. 

Section 2.14 Conveyance by Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1102 of the Base Indenture, the
Company shall not be discharged from its obligations and covenants (with respect to the Notes) under the Indenture or the Notes, and may not be dissolved or liquidated, in connection with any conveyance by the Company of all or substantially all of
its assets to any other Person by way of a lease. 
 Section 2.15 Ranking; Subordination. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Notes shall rank on a parity with all Securities of other series issued under the Base Indenture, as well as the CAP Obligations. 
 ARTICLE

 REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES 

Section 3.01 Optional Redemption by Company in event of Failed Final Remarketing. The Company may redeem the Notes at its
option only if there has been a Failed Final Remarketing. In the event of a Failed Final Remarketing, any Notes that remain outstanding after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date will be redeemable on or after June 1, 2020 at the
Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a price per Note equal to the Redemption Price, payable on the date of redemption (such date, the “Redemption Date”). If the Company redeems fewer
than all of the outstanding Notes, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected pursuant to Section 403 of the Base Indenture. The Company may at any time irrevocably waive the right to redeem the Notes for any specified period (including the
remaining term of the Notes). The Company shall not redeem the Notes if the Notes have been accelerated and such acceleration has not been rescinded or unless all accrued and unpaid interest has been paid in full on all outstanding Notes for all
Interest Periods terminating on or prior to the Redemption Date. The Company may block the transfer or exchange of (i) all Notes during a period of 15 days prior to the date on which notice of selection of the Notes for redemption is given, or
(ii) any Note being redeemed, except with respect to the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed solely in part. Following a Successful Remarketing of the Notes, the Notes will cease to be redeemable at the Company’s option. The last
paragraph of Section 305 of the Base Indenture shall not apply with respect to the Notes. 
 Section 3.02 Effect of
Redemption. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, once notice of Redemption is given and sufficient funds are irrevocably deposited by the Company, in each case, in accordance
with Sections 404 and 405 of the Base Indenture, (i) interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes to be redeemed on and after the Redemption Date (unless there is a default in payment of the Redemption Price), (ii) the Notes to be redeemed
shall no longer be outstanding and (iii) all rights of the Holders in respect of the Notes to be redeemed shall terminate and lapse (other than the right to receive any amount owed in connection with a Redemption but without interest on such
amount). 
 Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. Subject to Article IV of the Base Indenture, notice of any Redemption
pursuant to this Article III will be mailed not less than 20 days and not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address and, subject to Article IV of the Base Indenture,
such notice of Redemption shall at least specify: 
 (a) the Redemption Date; 

(b) the Redemption Price; and 

  
 7 

 (c) that, on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall become due and payable upon each of
the Notes to be redeemed and that such Notes shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Redemption Date, unless there is a default in payment of the Redemption Price. 

Section 3.04 Amendments to Article IV of Base Indenture. Solely for purposes of the Notes, (i) Sections 404 and 405 of the
Base Indenture are hereby deemed amended by removing any reference therein to accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption being payable on any Notes upon Redemption (in addition to the applicable redemption price). 

ARTICLE IV 
 OPTION TO DEFER
INTEREST PAYMENTS 
 Section 4.01 Option to Defer Interest Payments. 

(a) The Company may elect at one or more times to defer payment of interest on the Notes (such unpaid interest, the “Deferred
Interest”) for one or more consecutive Interest Periods; provided that the interest payable on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Stated Maturity may not be deferred, and no Interest Payment may be deferred beyond the Purchase
Contract Settlement Date, in the case of a Deferral Period that begins prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or the Stated Maturity, in the case of a Deferral Period that begins after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Furthermore, in
the event of a Successful Remarketing, following the applicable Remarketing Settlement Date, the Company shall have no right to defer the payment of interest on the Notes. If all Deferred Interest has been paid (including compounded interest
thereon) and the Company still has the right to defer the payment of interest, the Company may again defer Interest Payments subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.01. 

(b) Deferred Interest on the Notes will bear interest at the interest rate applicable to the Notes, and subject to applicable law, such
interest will be compounded on each Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date on which such Deferred Interest is paid. 

(c) If a Deferral Period is continuing with respect to the Notes or the Company has given notice of a Deferral Period but such Deferral Period
has not yet commenced, then until all Deferred Interest (including compounded interest thereon) has been paid, the Company will not: 

(i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect
to, any shares of its Capital Stock; or 
 (ii) make any payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, or
repay, repurchase or redeem any of its debt securities ranking on a parity with, or ranking junior to, the Notes (including debt securities of other series issued under the Base Indenture); or 

(iii) make any guarantee payments on any guarantee of debt securities if the guarantee ranks on a parity with or junior to the
Notes. 
 (d) However, the foregoing provisions of Section 4.01(c) shall not prevent or restrict the Company from making: 

(i) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of its Capital Stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan
or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors, agents or consultants or a stock purchase or dividend reinvestment plan, or the satisfaction of its obligations pursuant to any contract or security outstanding
on the date that the payment of interest is deferred requiring it to purchase, redeem or acquire its Capital Stock; 
 (ii)
any payment, repayment, redemption, purchase, acquisition or declaration of dividends described in clause (c)(i) above as a result of a reclassification of its Capital Stock, or the exchange or conversion of all or a portion of one class or series
of its Capital Stock for another class or series of its Capital Stock; 

  
 8 

 (iii) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of its Capital Stock
pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of its Capital Stock or the security being converted or exchanged, or in connection with the settlement of stock purchase contracts outstanding on the date that the payment of interest is deferred;

 (iv) dividends or distributions paid or made in its Capital Stock (or rights to acquire its Capital Stock), or
repurchases, redemptions or acquisitions of Capital Stock in connection with the issuance or exchange of Capital Stock (or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of its Capital Stock) and distributions in connection with the
settlement of stock purchase contracts outstanding on the date that the payment of interest is deferred; 
 (v) redemptions,
exchanges or repurchases of, or with respect to, any rights outstanding under a shareholder rights plan outstanding on the date that the payment of interest is deferred or the declaration or payment thereunder of a dividend or distribution of or
with respect to rights in the future; 
 (vi) payments on the Notes, any trust preferred securities, subordinated debentures,
junior subordinated debentures or junior subordinated notes, or any guarantees of any of the foregoing, in each case ranking on a parity with the Notes, so long as the amount of payments made on account of such securities or guarantees is paid on
all such securities and guarantees then outstanding on a pro rata basis in proportion to the full payment to which each series of such securities and guarantees is then entitled if paid in full; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company
will not be permitted under the Indenture to make interest payments on the Notes in part; or 
 (vii) any payment of deferred
interest or principal on, or repayment, redemption or repurchase of, securities ranking on a parity with or ranking junior to the Notes that, if not made, would cause the Company to breach the terms of the instrument governing such parity or junior
securities. 
 (e) In the event that the Company elects to defer any Interest Payment, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Holders
in writing of such election at least one Business Day prior to the Regular Record Date for the Interest Payment Date on which the Company intends to begin a Deferral Period; provided, however, that the Company’s failure to pay the interest owed
on a particular Interest Payment Date shall also constitute the commencement of a Deferral Period, unless such interest is paid within five Business Days after such Interest Payment Date, whether or not the Company provides a notice of deferral.

 (f) The Company may pay Deferred Interest (including compounded interest thereon) in cash on any scheduled Interest Payment Date
occurring on or prior to (i) the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in the case of a Deferral Period that begins prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or (ii) the Stated Maturity, in the case of a Deferral Period that begins
after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date; provided that in order to end a Deferral Period on any scheduled Interest Payment Date other than the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Stated Maturity, the Company must deliver written notice
thereof to Holders of the Notes and the Trustee on or before the relevant Regular Record Date. Deferred Interest paid on any Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Person in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date. 
 (g) In the event there is any Deferred Interest outstanding, the Company
may not elect to conduct an Optional Remarketing. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any Successful
Final Remarketing of the Notes, all accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest (including compounded interest thereon), calculated to, but excluding, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date at the Coupon Rate, shall be paid to the Holders of Notes (whether
or not such Notes were remarketed in such Remarketing), as of the applicable Regular Record Date, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in cash.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 

Section 8.01 Supplemental Indenture without Consent of Holders. Without the consent of any Holders, the Company and the
Trustee may from time to time, and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto to amend the Indenture and the Notes, in form satisfactory to the Trustee (which shall comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as
then in effect), for one or more of the following purposes: 
 (a) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company, or
successive successions, and the assumption by the successor Person of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company pursuant to Article X hereof; 

(b) to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants, restrictions or conditions as the Company and the Trustee shall consider to
be for the protection of the Holders and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions or conditions a default or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any
of the several remedies provided in the Indenture; provided, however, that in respect to any such additional covenant, restriction or condition such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may
be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such default; 

(c) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture; provided, however, that any such change or elimination shall become
effective only when there are no Notes outstanding created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision; 

(d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective
or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to make such other provision in regard to matters or questions arising under the Indenture or any supplemental indenture; provided, however, that such
action shall not adversely affect the interest of the Holders in any material respect. 
 (e) to mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as
security for the Notes any property or assets which the Company may desire to mortgage or pledge as security for the Notes; 
 (f) to
qualify, or maintain the qualification of, the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; 

  
 10 

 (g) following the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, to supplement any of the provisions of the
Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Notes pursuant to Section 701 of the Base Indenture, provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of any Holder
in any material respect; 
 (h) to modify Section 2.15 hereof in a manner not materially adverse to the rights of the Holders, it being
understood that any modification of the terms of the Notes permitted pursuant to Section 9.04 in connection with a Remarketing that is made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture may be made without the consent of any Holders of the
Notes; 
 (i) to amend the Notes, the Base Indenture (insofar as it relates to the Notes) and the Indenture to conform the provisions
thereof or hereof to the descriptions thereof or hereof contained in the preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 10, 2014 for the Equity Units, as supplemented by any free writing prospectus used in connection with the offering of the
Equity Units, under the sections entitled “Description of the Equity Units,” “Description of the Purchase Contracts,” “Certain Provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement” and “Description of the
Junior Subordinated Notes.” 
 The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental
indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, mortgage, pledge or assignment of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter
into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise. 

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of
the Holders of any of the Notes at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 1202 of the Base Indenture. 

Section 1201 of the Base Indenture shall not apply with respect to the Notes, and any reference in the Base Indenture to such provision
shall, for purposes of the Notes, be deemed to refer instead to the applicable provision in this Section 8.01. 
 Section 8.02
Supplemental Indenture with Consent of Holders. With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in the principal amount of Notes then outstanding (except as otherwise provided in Section 1202 of the Base Indenture), the
Company, when authorized by a Resolution of the Company, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto or to the Base Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing
in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Base Indenture or this First Supplemental Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that, in addition to the restrictions set forth in
the proviso contained in Section 1202 of the Base Indenture (which shall apply to this Section 8.02, mutatis mutandis), no supplemental indenture may without the consent of the Holders of each outstanding Note directly affected thereby:
(i) modify the Put Right of Holders of the Notes upon a Failed Remarketing in a manner materially adverse to the rights of the Holders or, (ii) modify the Remarketing provisions of the Notes in a manner materially adverse to the rights of
the Holders or (iii) modify Section 2.15 hereof in a manner adverse to the rights of the Holders, it being understood that any modification of the terms of the Notes permitted pursuant to Section 9.04 in connection with a Remarketing
that is made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture may be made without the consent of any Holders of the Notes. Section 1202 of the Base Indenture shall not apply with respect to the Notes (other than the proviso therein, which shall
apply as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence), and any reference in the Base Indenture to such provision shall, for purposes of the Notes, be deemed to refer instead to the applicable provision in this Section 8.02.

REMARKETING 
 Section 9.01
Remarketing Procedures. 
 (a) In the case of an Optional Remarketing, unless a Termination Event has occurred prior to the
Optional Remarketing Period, or in the case of a Final Remarketing, unless a Successful Optional Remarketing or Termination Event has occurred prior to the Final Remarketing Period, the Company shall engage the Remarketing Agent(s) pursuant to the
Remarketing Agreement for the Remarketing of the Notes as set forth under Section 9.02. The Company shall, no later than (a) in the case of an Optional Remarketing, five Business Days prior to the first day of the Optional Remarketing
Period or (b) in the case of a Final Remarketing, seven days prior to the first day of the Final Remarketing Period, request that the Depository or its nominee notify the Beneficial Owners or Depository Participants holding Separate Notes,
Corporate Units and Treasury Units, and shall provide a copy of such request to the Collateral Agent and the Purchase Contract Agent, in the case of an Optional Remarketing, of the Company’s intent to attempt an Optional Remarketing in the
Applicable Remarketing Period, and in all cases, of the proposed Remarketing Dates and the procedures to be followed in each Remarketing, including the procedures to be followed by Holders of Separate Notes to participate in a Remarketing, the
applicable procedures for Holders of Corporate Units to create Treasury Units or Holders of Treasury Units to recreate Corporate Units, as the case may be, the applicable procedures for Holders of Corporate Units to effect an Early Settlement and,
in the case of a Final Remarketing, applicable procedures to effect a Cash Settlement and the applicable procedures that must be followed by a Holder of Separate Notes if such Holder wishes to exercise its Put Right or by a Holder of Corporate Units
if such Holder elects not to exercise its Put Right. 
 (b) At any time after notice is given by the Company in accordance with
Section 9.01(a), other than during a Blackout Period, each Holder of Separate Notes may elect to have Separate Notes held by such Holder remarketed in the applicable Remarketing for which notice was given. A Holder making such an election must
notify the Custodial Agent and deliver such Separate Notes to the Custodial Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Any such notice and delivery may not be conditioned upon the level at which
the Reset Rate is established in the Remarketing. Any such notice and delivery may be withdrawn, other than during a Blackout Period, by notifying the Custodial Agent on or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day
immediately preceding the first day of the Applicable Remarketing Period in accordance with the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Any such notice and delivery not withdrawn in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence will be
irrevocable with respect to each Remarketing to occur during the Applicable Remarketing Period. Pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time on the Business Day immediately preceding
the first day of the Applicable Remarketing Period, the Custodial Agent, based on the notices and deliveries received by it prior to such time, shall notify the Remarketing Agent of the aggregate principal amount of Separate Notes surrendered for
Remarketing. Pursuant and subject to Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, Notes that underlie Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes included in Corporate Units will be deemed surrendered for Remarketing (unless in the
case of a final Remarketing, the Holder thereof has duly notified the Purchase Contract Agent of its intent to effect a Cash Settlement and timely paid the Purchase Price) and will be remarketed in accordance with the terms of the Remarketing
Agreement and the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. 
 (c) The right of each Holder of Remarketed Notes to have such Notes remarketed
on any Remarketing Date and sold on any Optional Remarketing Date or Final Remarketing Date, as the case may be, shall be subject to the conditions that (i)(A) the Remarketing Agent conducts any Optional Remarketing or (i)(B) in the case of a Final
Remarketing, that no Successful Optional Remarketing has occurred pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement and the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, (ii) a Termination Event has not occurred prior to the Optional Remarketing
Date or Final Remarketing Date, as the case may be, (iii) the Remarketing Agent(s) are able to find a purchaser or purchasers for Remarketed Notes at the Remarketing Price based on the Reset Rate and (iv) each condition precedent to
settlement of the Remarketed Notes set forth in the Remarketing Agreement is satisfied or waived. 
 (d) Neither the Trustee, the Company,
nor the Remarketing Agent(s) shall be obligated in any case to provide funds to make payment upon surrender of Notes for remarketing. 

Section 9.02 Remarketing. 

(a) Unless a Termination Event has occurred prior to such date, if the Company elects to conduct an Optional Remarketing during an Optional
Remarketing Period selected by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Remarketing Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed Notes at the applicable Remarketing Price as provided
in the Remarketing Agreement. 

  
 12 

 (b) In the case there is no Successful Optional Remarketing during the Optional Remarketing
Period, either because the Remarketing Agent is unable to remarket the Notes at the applicable Remarketing Price or because a condition precedent to the Remarketing has not been satisfied, and unless a Termination Event has occurred prior to such
date, during the Final Remarketing Period, the Remarketing Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed Notes at the applicable Remarketing Price as provided in the Remarketing Agreement. The Remarketing on any
Remarketing Date will be considered successful if the resulting proceeds are at least equal to the applicable Remarketing Price. The Company has the right to postpone any Optional Remarketing for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion. The
Company has the right to postpone the Final Remarketing in its sole and absolute discretion on any day prior to the last three Business Days of the Final Remarketing Period. 

Section 9.03 Reset Rate. 

(a) In connection with each Remarketing, in order to remarket the Notes, the Remarketing Agent, in consultation with the Company, may reset the
interest rate on the Notes either upward or downward, or if any Notes are remarketed as floating-rate notes, may determine the index selected by the Company and the reset spread applicable to such Notes (the new interest rate in the case of
fixed-rate Notes, and the index plus the reset spread, in the case of floating-rate notes, referred to as the “Reset Rate”), as provided in the Remarketing Agreement. 

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Reset Rate shall in any event exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

 (c) In the event of a Successful Remarketing, the interest rate for the Notes may be reset on the Remarketing Settlement Date to the
applicable Reset Rate as determined by the Remarketing Agent, in consultation with the Company, under the Remarketing Agreement, and the Company shall (1) notify the Trustee by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and
(2) request the Depository to notify its Depository Participants holding Notes, in each case, of the maturity date, the Reset Rate, the Interest Payment Dates and any other modified terms established for the Notes during the Remarketing no
later than 9:00 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the date of such Successful Remarketing. Upon a Successful Remarketing, if the interest rate for the Notes is reset, the Reset Rate shall apply to all outstanding Notes, whether or not
the Holders of all outstanding Notes participated in such Remarketing. 
 (d) If a reset of the interest rate on the Notes occurs pursuant
to a Successful Optional Remarketing, the Reset Rate of the Notes shall be the interest rate or reset spread determined by the Remarketing Agent(s), in consultation with the Company, pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, as the interest rate or
reset spread the Notes should bear in order for the Remarketing proceeds to equal at least 100% of the sum of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price and the Separate Notes Purchase Price (if any). 

(e) If a reset of the interest rate on the Notes occurs pursuant to a Successful Final Remarketing, the Reset Rate shall be the interest rate
determined by the Remarketing Agent(s), in consultation with the Company, pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, as the rate the Notes should bear in order for the Remarketing proceeds to equal at least 100% of the aggregate principal amount of
Notes to be remarketed. 
 (f) In the event of a Failed Final Remarketing, or if no Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes are included in
Corporate Units (or the Holder of each such Corporate Unit has duly notified the Purchase Contract Agent of its intent to effect a Cash Settlement and timely paid the Purchase Price) and none of the Holders of the Separate Notes elect to have their
Notes remarketed in any Remarketing, the applicable interest rate on the Notes will not be reset and will continue to be the Coupon Rate. 

(g) If there is a Failed Remarketing, the Company shall cause a notice of the unsuccessful Remarketing to be published not later than 9:00
a.m., New York City time on the Business Day following the Applicable Remarketing Period. This notice shall be validly published by making a timely release to any appropriate news agency, including Bloomberg Business News and the Dow Jones News
Service. 

  
 13 

 Section 9.04 Modification of Terms in Connection with a Successful
Remarketing. 
 (a) In consultation with the Remarketing Agent and without the consent of any Holders of the Notes, the Company may
(but will not be required to) elect to: 
 (i) move up the Stated Maturity of the Notes to a date earlier than June 1,
2024 but not earlier than June 1, 2020; 
 (ii) cause the Notes to cease to be redeemable at the Company’s option,
and the provisions under Article III and Article IV of the Base Indenture to no longer apply to the Notes; and 
 (iii)
pursuant to Section 9.03, remarket any Notes as fixed-rate notes or floating-rate notes and, in the case of floating-rate notes, provide that the interest rate on the Notes shall be equal to an index selected by the Company plus the reset
spread (as determined by the Remarketing Agent), in consultation with the Company, in which case interest on the Notes may be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed (or such other basis as is customarily used
for floating-rate Notes bearing interest at a rate based on such index rate). 
 (b) All the modifications listed in Section 9.04(a)
shall take effect only if the Remarketing is successful. All such modifications, without the consent of the Holders, shall be effective upon the earlier of the applicable Remarketing Settlement Date and the Purchase Contract Settlement Date and
shall apply to all of the Notes, regardless of whether the Notes were included in the Remarketing; provided, however, that if the Company makes any such elections in connection with an Optional Remarketing and no Successful Remarketing occurs
during the Optional Remarketing Period, such elections shall cease to apply and the Company may make new elections in connection with the Final Remarketing. 

Section 9.05 Put Right. 

(a) If there has not been a Successful Remarketing on or prior to the last day of the Final Remarketing Period, Holders of Notes will, subject
to this Section 9.05, have the right (the “Put Right”) to require the Company to purchase such Notes for cash on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a price per Note to be purchased equal to the principal amount of the
applicable Note (the “Put Price”). 
 (b) The Put Right of a Holder of a Separate Note shall only be exercisable upon
delivery of a notice substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (or, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depository), together with such Holder’s Separate Notes, to the Trustee by such
Holder at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Such Put Right for a Holder of a Separate Note may be exercised with respect to all or a portion of such
Holder’s Separate Notes (so long as such portion is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount). Prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee immediately available funds in an amount sufficient
to pay, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the aggregate Put Price of all Separate Notes with respect to which a Holder has exercised a Put Right. In exchange for any Separate Notes surrendered pursuant to the Put Right, the Trustee shall
then distribute such amount to the Holders of such Separate Notes. 
 (c) If there has not been a Successful Remarketing on or prior to the
last day of the Final Remarketing Period, the Put Right of Holders with respect to Notes relating to Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes included in Corporate Units will be deemed to be automatically exercised in accordance with
Section 5.02(b) of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (unless any such Holder has duly notified the Purchase Contract Agent of its intent to effect a Cash Settlement and timely paid the Purchase Price). 

(d) Notes purchased pursuant to the Put Right shall be cancelled by the Trustee.

The Company covenants that it will not merge or consolidate with any other Person or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to
any Person unless 
 (a) (x) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Person”), if not the Company, is

America or a U.S. state or the District of Columbia, and (y) the Successor Person, if not the Company, expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of
the obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Indenture; 
 (b) the obligor under the Indenture will not, immediately after the
relevant transaction, be in default in the performance of its covenants and conditions under the Units or the Notes; and 
 (c) the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, subject to customary qualifications and assumptions, each stating that such transaction and such modifications to the Indenture, if any, comply with the
requirements therefor under this Article X. 
 Section 10.02 Successor Person to Be Substituted. 

In case of any such, consolidation, merger or conveyance and upon the assumption by the Successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed
and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be
performed by the Company under the Indenture, such Successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Indenture, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the
Company, and, the Company will be relieved of any further obligation under the Indenture and the Notes and, upon such assumption by the Successor Person by such supplemental indenture, the terms hereof shall no longer apply to the Company. Such
Successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the
Trustee; and, upon the order of such Successor Person instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in the Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and
delivered, any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such Successor Person thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for
that purpose. All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Notes had been
issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger or conveyance the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of the Indenture or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in
the manner prescribed in this Article X may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its obligations under the Indenture. 

In case of any such amalgamation, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in
substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. 
 Article XI of the Base Indenture shall not apply to
the Notes, and any reference in the Base Indenture to Article XI of the Base Indenture shall, for purposes of the Notes only be deemed to refer instead to the applicable provisions in this Article X.

TAX TREATMENT 

Section 11.01 Tax Treatment. The Company agrees, and by acceptance of a Corporate Unit or a Separate Note, each Holder (or
beneficial owner) will be deemed to have agreed for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes (unless otherwise required by any taxing authority) (a) to treat each beneficial owner of a Corporate Unit as the owner of each of the
applicable stock purchase contract and the applicable interests in the Collateral, including the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes constituting a part of such Corporate Unit, (b) to treat the Notes as indebtedness that
are contingent payment debt instruments (as that term is used in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4), (c) with respect to Holders who purchase Corporate Units upon issuance, to allocate, as of the Original Issue Date, 100.0 %
of a Holder’s purchase price for a Corporate Unit to the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes and 0.0% to each Purchase Contract, which will establish each Holder’s initial tax basis in each Purchase Contract as $0.00 and each
Holder’s initial tax basis in each Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes as $50.00, and (d) in all events, not to take any position for U.S. federal, state or local income tax purposes that is inconsistent with or contrary to the above
covenants.

 EXELON CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania (herein referred to as the “Company,” which term includes any successor person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Holder named above, the principal
sum [of [—] Dollars]*** [specified in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Notes annexed hereto]* on June 1, 2024, or at the Company’s option following a Successful Remarketing, at a
date earlier than June 1, 2024 but not earlier than June 1, 2020 (the “Stated Maturity”), and to pay (subject to deferral as set forth herein) interest thereon at the rate of 2.50% per annum, such interest to accrue
from June 17, 2014, subject to any reset of such interest rate in connection with a Successful Remarketing, as described below. Subject to the Company’s right to defer interest payments as set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture (as
defined on the reverse hereof) and to changes in the interest payment dates as set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture in connection with a Successful Remarketing, interest is payable quarterly in arrears on each
March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, commencing on September 1, 2014 (the “Interest Payment Dates”), until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. On and after the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date or, if earlier, the Optional Remarketing Settlement Date, interest on this Note will be payable at the relevant Reset Rate or, if the interest rate has not been reset, at the Coupon Rate of 2.50% per year. The
Reset Rate, if any, shall be established pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Remarketing Agreement. If Interest Payments are deferred or otherwise not paid, they will accrue and compound on each Interest Payment Date until paid at the
annual rate of 6.50% per annum, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
 The amount of interest payable for any period will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and with respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the period. The interest so payable on an Interest Payment Date
will be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered, at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided that interest payable at Stated Maturity will be paid to the Person to whom
principal is payable. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for, and that is not deferred as described below, will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid (i) to
the Person in whose name this Note (or any Note issued upon registration of transfer or exchange thereof) is registered at the close of business on the record date for the payment of such defaulted interest established in accordance with
Section 307 of the Base Indenture or (ii) at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of the securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange. The “Regular Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date for the Notes, will be the fifteenth day of the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Interest Payment Date
falls (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day); provided that if any of the Notes or the related Corporate Units are held by a securities depository in book-entry form, the Regular Record Date for such Notes will be
the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date. 
 If an Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes or the date (if any) on which the Company is required to purchase the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the applicable payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and
no interest shall accrue or be paid in respect of such delay.

 This Note may be presented for payment of principal and interest at the office of the Paying
Agent, in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York; provided, however, that payment of interest will be made by the Company (i) by check mailed to such address of the person entitled thereto as the address shall appear on the
Register of the Notes or (ii) if such Person so requests and designates an account in writing to the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, by wire transfer to such account. Payment of the principal and
interest on this Note shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by this Note, including the principal hereof and interest hereon, is, to the extent and in the
manner set forth in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Company’s obligations to Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and each Holder of this Note, by acceptance hereof, agrees to and shall be bound by such
provisions of the Indenture and all other provisions of the Indenture. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note
set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 In
the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Note and the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and control. 

This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of
authentication hereon shall have been manually signed by an authorized signatory of the Trustee under the Indenture.

 REVERSE OF NOTE 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to
be issued pursuant to the Unsecured Subordinated Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of June 17, 2014, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as supplemented and amended by the First
Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 17, 2014 by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee of the Securities established thereby (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes
any successor trustee for the Notes under the Indenture) (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, as it may be hereafter supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Indenture”).
Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders (the word “Holder” or “Holders”
meaning the registered holder or registered holders) of the Notes. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof (the “Notes”) which is limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,150,000,000. 

Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions in the Indenture, if there has been a Failed Final Remarketing, the Company may, at its option,
redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, from time to time on or after June 1, 2020, at a price equal to the Redemption Price, in accordance with Article IV of the Base Indenture and Article III of the First Supplemental Indenture. 

The Notes shall be remarketed as provided in the First Supplemental Indenture. In connection with a Successful Remarketing, the Remarketing
Agent, in consultation with the Company, may move the Stated Maturity of the Notes to a date earlier than June 1, 2024 but not earlier than June 1, 2020, remarket the Notes as fixed- or floating-rate Notes, and reset the interest rate of
the Notes. Furthermore, in connection with a Successful Remarketing, the Notes will cease to be redeemable at the Company’s option and the Company will cease to have the ability to defer interest payments on the Notes. Following any Successful
Remarketing of the Notes, if the Notes are remarketed as fixed-rate notes, interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year or, if the Notes are remarketed as floating-rate notes, interest on the
Notes will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year. 

Pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture, if there has not been a Successful Remarketing prior to the end of the Final Remarketing Period,
Holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase such Notes for cash on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date at a price per Note to be purchased equal to the principal amount of the applicable Note. 

The Notes are not subject to the operation of any sinking fund and, except as set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture, are not repayable
at the option of a Holder thereof prior to the Stated Maturity. 
 In the case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have
occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Notes may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. 

Prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the provisions of Section 701 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. 

The Company will not pay any additional amounts to any Holder in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the
Holders of specified percentages in 

  
 A-6 

 
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all outstanding Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture, and contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount in certain instances of the outstanding Notes, to waive on behalf of all of the Holders of Notes, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any
such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture,
no Holder of Notes shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of the Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as provided in the Indenture, and unless also the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of all the Securities at the time outstanding (considered as one class) shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee under the Indenture
and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 812 of the Base Indenture; it being
understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by
availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under
the Indenture, except in the manner therein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of Section 807 of the Base Indenture, each and every Holder
and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 
 Nothing contained in the Indenture is
intended to or shall impair, as between the Company and the Holders of the Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Holders the principal of and interest on such Notes when, where and as the same
shall become due and payable, all in accordance with the terms of the Notes, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of such Holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company, nor
shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under the Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under Article XV of the Base
Indenture of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company in respect of cash, property, or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Register
of the Notes upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the offices maintained by the Company or its agent for such purpose, duly endorsed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, but without payment of any charge other than a sum sufficient to reimburse the
Company for any tax or other governmental charge incident thereto. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Note or Notes of authorized denomination or denominations for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in
exchange herefor. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. 
 Pursuant to the First
Supplemental Indenture, Notes corresponding to Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are no longer a component of the Corporate Units and are released from the Collateral Account will be initially issued as Global Notes. Except upon
recreation of Corporate Units and except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, Notes represented by Global Notes will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be issuable as, Notes in certificated form. Unless and until such Global Notes
are exchanged for Notes in certificated form, Global 

  
 A-7 

 
Notes may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Notes shall be made, only to the Depository or a nominee of the Depository, or to a successor Depository selected or
approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depository. 
 By acceptance of this Note or a beneficial interest in this Note,
each Holder hereof and any Person acquiring a beneficial interest herein, for United States federal, state and local tax purposes, agrees to treat this Note as indebtedness that is a contingent payment debt instrument and to take other positions for
such tax purposes as set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture. 
 Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Note shall be registered upon the Register of the Notes of this series as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this
Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and, subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest due hereon and for
all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 No
recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any stockholder, officer, director or employee, as
such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor person, either directly or through the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all
such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as a part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. 

This Note shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of said State.
