	4.	SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN. 

 (a) MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE UNDER THE PLAN. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be granted pursuant to Awards under the Plan,
subject to Sections 4(b) and 4(c) of the Plan, shall be 11 million (11,000,000). Any shares of Common Stock that are subject to Awards of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against this limit as one (1) share
of Common Stock for every one (1) share of Common Stock granted. Any shares of Common Stock that are subject to Awards other than Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against this limit as 1.61 shares of Common Stock
for every one (1) share of Common Stock granted. The shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or issued shares reacquired by the Company. No fractional share of Common Stock shall be issued
under the Plan. Awards of fractional shares of Common Stock, if any, shall be settled in cash. 

  
 4 

 Notwithstanding the limitations imposed upon the vesting of Awards granted to Employees
elsewhere in the Plan, those vesting limitations shall not be applicable to up to a maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to Awards under the Plan of 550,000 shares. 

(b) CHARGING OF SHARES. Shares of Common Stock subject to an Award or a Prior Award (other than a Substitute Award) that
expires according to its terms or is forfeited, terminated, canceled or surrendered, in each case, without having been exercised or is settled, or can be paid only, in cash, and any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award or a Prior Award (other
than a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right) that is surrendered in payment of the taxes associated with the vesting or settlement of such Award or Prior Award, will be available again for grant under the Plan, without reducing the number of
shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Awards or that are available for the grant of Awards under the Plan and, with respect to Prior Awards under a Prior Plan, will become available for grant under the Plan, thereby increasing the number of
shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Awards or that are available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. In no event shall (i) any shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Option that is canceled upon the exercise of a tandem Stock
Appreciation Right granted under the Plan or a Prior Plan, (ii) any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award or a Prior Award that is surrendered in payment of the exercise price of a Stock Option or in payment of taxes associated with the
exercise of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan or a Prior Plan, (iii) any shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan or a Prior Plan that are not issued in connection with
the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right upon the exercise thereof, or (iv) any shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Company on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of Stock Options under the Plan
or a Prior Plan, become available for grant under the Plan pursuant to this paragraph. Any shares of Common Stock that become available for grant pursuant to this paragraph shall be added back (i) as one (1) share of Common Stock if such
shares were subject to Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan or were subject to stock options or stock appreciation rights granted under a Prior Plan, and (ii) as 1.61 shares of Common Stock if such shares were
subject to Awards other than Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan or were subject to Prior Awards other than stock options or stock appreciation rights granted under a Prior Plan. 

Any Substitute Awards granted by the Company will not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under the Plan and
will not count against the limits specified in Section 4(a) above. Available shares under a shareholder approved plan of an acquired company (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan (subject
to applicable stock exchange requirements) and do not reduce the maximum number of shares under the Plan. 
 Units that
represent deferred compensation, and shares of Common Stock issued in payment of deferred compensation, will not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Awards or that are available for the grant of Awards under the Plan,
except to the extent of matching or other related grants by the Company or any discount in the price used to convert the deferred compensation into Units or shares of Common Stock.

 (c) ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event of a
merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or shares, stock rights offering, liquidation, disaffiliation, or similar event affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Corporate Transaction”), the Committee or the Board
of Directors may in its discretion make such substitutions or adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants to (A) the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock
reserved for issuance and delivery under the Plan, (B) the various maximum share limitations applicable to certain types of Awards and upon the grants to individuals of certain types of Awards, (C) the number and kind of shares of Common
Stock subject to outstanding Awards; and (D) the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, separation, spinoff, reorganization, extraordinary
dividend of cash or other property, share combination, recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of the Company (each, a “Share Change”), the Committee or the Board of Directors shall make such equitable
substitutions or adjustments to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants to (A) the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance and delivery under the Plan, (B) the various maximum share
limitations applicable to certain types of Awards and upon the grants to individuals of certain types of Awards, (C) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Awards; and (D) the exercise price of outstanding
Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. In the case of Corporate Transactions, such adjustments may include, without limitation, the cancellation of outstanding Awards in exchange for payments of cash, property or a combination thereof having
an aggregate value equal to the value of such Awards, as determined by the Committee or the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. In no event shall any adjustment be required under this Section 4(c) if the Committee determines that such
action could cause an Award to fail to satisfy the conditions of an applicable exception from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or otherwise could subject a Participant to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A in respect
of an outstanding Award. 
 (d) LIMIT ON AWARDS TO DIRECTORS. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan
to the contrary, the aggregate grant date fair value (computed as of the Date of Grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of all Awards granted to any single Director during any single calendar year shall not exceed $250,000.

  

	5.	ADMINISTRATION. 

(a) THE COMMITTEE. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee to be appointed from time to time by the Board of

and firms, including banks, consultants and insurance companies, in furtherance of the Plan’s activities; and (xv) make all other determinations and take all other actions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable for the
administration and operation of the Plan. 
 (c) COMMITTEE’S DECISIONS FINAL. Any determination, decision
or action of the Committee in connection with the construction, interpretation, administration or application of the Plan, and of any grant agreement, shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all Participants, and all persons claiming through
Participants, affected thereby. 
 (d) ADMINISTRATIVE ACCOUNTS. For the purpose of accounting for Awards
deferred as to payment, the Company shall establish bookkeeping accounts expressed in Units bearing the name of each Participant receiving such Awards. Each account shall be unfunded, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in accordance with
Section 16(e) of the Plan. 
 (e) CERTIFICATIONS. In respect of each grant under the Plan of a Qualified
Performance-Based Award, the provisions of the Plan and the related grant agreement shall be construed to confirm such intent, and to conform to the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, and the Committee shall certify in writing (which
writing may include approved minutes of a meeting of 

  
 7 

 
the Committee) that the applicable Performance Goal(s), determined using the Performance Measure specified in the related grant agreement, was attained during the relevant Performance Period at a
level that equaled or exceeded the level required for the payment of such Award in the amount proposed to be paid and that such Award does not exceed any applicable Plan limitation. 

(f) AUTHORITY OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The Board of Directors may reserve to itself any or all of the authority or
responsibility of the Committee under the Plan or may act as the administrator of the Plan for any and all purposes. To the extent the Board of Directors has reserved any such authority or responsibility or during any time that the Board of
Directors is acting as administrator of the Plan, the Board of Directors shall have all the powers of the Committee hereunder, and any reference herein to the Committee (other than in this Section 5(f)) shall include the Board of Directors. To
the extent that any action of the Board of Directors under the Plan conflicts with any action taken by the Committee, the action of the Board of Directors shall control. 

 

	6.	STOCK OPTIONS. 

(a) IN GENERAL. Options to purchase shares of Common Stock may be granted under the Plan and may be Incentive Stock
Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. All Stock Options shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, as the
Committee shall determine. Stock Options may be granted in addition to, or in tandem with or independent of, Stock Appreciation Rights or other Awards under the Plan. 
 (b) ELIGIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS. Any Employee or Director may be granted Stock Options. The Committee shall determine, in its discretion, the Employees and Directors to whom Stock Options
will be granted, the timing of such Awards, and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Stock Option granted; provided, that (i) the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued and delivered upon the
exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall be 11 million (11,000,000), (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which Stock Options may be granted to any single Participant during any calendar year shall be 1,000,000,
(iii) Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to Employees, and (iv) in respect of Incentive Stock Options, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the shares of Common Stock
with respect to which an Incentive Stock Option becomes exercisable for the first time by an Employee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000, or such other limit as may be required by the Code, except that, if authorized by the Committee
and provided for in the related grant agreement, any portion of any Incentive Stock Option that cannot be exercised as such because of this limitation will be converted into and exercised as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. In no event, without the
approval of the Company’s shareholders, shall any Stock Option (i) be granted to a Participant in exchange for the Participant’s agreement to the cancellation of one or more Stock Options then held by such Participant if the exercise
price of the new Award is lower than the exercise price of the Award to be cancelled, (ii) be amended to reduce the exercise price, or (iii) be cancelled in exchange for another Award or a cash payment. The immediately preceding sentence
is intended to prohibit the repricing of “underwater” Stock Options without shareholder approval and will not be construed to prohibit the adjustments provided for in Section 4(c) of the Plan. 

  
 8 

 (c) OPTION EXERCISE PRICE. The per share exercise price of each Stock
Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee prior to or at the time of grant, but in no event shall the per share exercise price of any Stock Option be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Date of
Grant of such Stock Option, except for Substitute Awards provided for in Section 16(b) of the Plan. 
 (d) OPTION
TERM. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee; except that in no event shall the term of any Stock Option exceed ten years from the Date of Grant. 

(e) EXERCISABILITY. A Stock Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions
as shall be determined by the Committee at the Date of Grant. Except for Substitute Awards, upon a Change in Control, and in certain limited situations (including the death, disability or retirement of the Participant) as designated by the Committee
in the applicable grant agreement, Stock Options granted to Employees that are subject solely to the continued service of the Participant shall become exercisable over a period of not less than three (3) years from the Date of Grant (and may,
as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, become exercisable in pro rata installments during such period). Stock Options granted to Employees that are subject to the achievement of one or more Performance Goals shall have a minimum
Performance Period of one year. No Stock Option may be exercised unless the holder thereof is at the time of such exercise an Employee or Director and has been continuously an Employee or Director since the Date of Grant, except that the Committee
may permit the exercise of any Stock Option for any period following the Participant’s termination of employment or service not in excess of the original term of the Stock Option on such terms and conditions as it shall deem appropriate and
specify in the related grant agreement. 
 (f) METHOD OF EXERCISE. A Stock Option may be exercised, in whole or
in part, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price in cash or, if permitted by the terms of the
related grant agreement or otherwise approved in advance by the Committee, in shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon exercise or already owned by the Participant, valued at the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise.

  

	7.	STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. 

(a) IN GENERAL. Stock Appreciation Rights in respect of shares of Common Stock may be granted under the Plan alone, in
tandem with, in addition to or independent of a Stock Option or other Award under the Plan. Except for Substitute Awards provided for in Section 16(b) of the Plan, a Stock Appreciation Right entitles a Participant to receive an amount equal to
the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant of the Stock Appreciation Right, or such other higher price as may be set by the
Committee, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised. 

  
 9 

 (b) ELIGIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS. Any Employee or Director may be granted
Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee shall determine, in its discretion, the Employees and Directors to whom Stock Appreciation Rights will be granted, the timing of such Awards and the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which each
Stock Appreciation Right is granted; provided that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to any single Participant during any calendar year shall be 1,000,000. In no event, without
the approval of the Company’s shareholders, shall any Stock Appreciation Right (i) be granted to a Participant in exchange for the Participant’s agreement to the cancellation of one or more Stock Appreciation Rights then held by such
Participant if the exercise price of the new Award is lower than the exercise price of the Award to be cancelled, (ii) be amended to reduce the exercise price, or (iii) be cancelled in exchange for another Award or a cash payment. The
immediately preceding sentence is intended to prohibit the repricing of “underwater” Stock Appreciation Rights without shareholder approval and will not be construed to prohibit the adjustments provided for in Section 4(c) of the
Plan. 
 (c) TERM; EXERCISABILITY; EXERCISE; FORM OF PAYMENT. The term of each Stock Appreciation Right
shall be fixed by the Committee; except that in no event shall the term of any Stock Appreciation Right exceed ten years from the Date of Grant. A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by a Participant at such time or times and in such manner as
shall be authorized by the Committee and set forth in the related grant agreement. Except for Substitute Awards, upon a Change in Control, and in certain limited situations (including the death, disability or retirement of the Participant) as
designated by the Committee in the applicable grant agreement, Stock Appreciation Rights granted to Employees that are subject solely to the continued service of the Participant shall become exercisable over a period of not less than three
(3) years from the Date of Grant (and may, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, become exercisable in pro rata installments during such period). Stock Appreciation Rights granted to Employees that are subject to the
achievement of one or more Performance Goals shall have a minimum Performance Period of one year. The Committee may provide that a Stock Appreciation Right shall be automatically exercised on one or more specified dates. No Stock Appreciation Right
may be exercised unless the holder thereof is at the time of exercise an Employee or Director and has been continuously an Employee or Director since the Date of Grant, except that the Committee may permit the exercise of any Stock Appreciation
Right for any period following the Participant’s termination of employment or service not in excess of the original term of the Stock Appreciation Right on such terms and conditions as it shall deem appropriate and specify in the related grant
agreement. A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving the Company a written notice specifying the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right is to be exercised. Stock
Appreciation Rights may be paid upon exercise in cash, in shares of Common Stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock as determined by the Committee. With respect to any Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with a Stock
Option, the tandem Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised only at a time when the related Stock Option is also exercisable and at a time when the “spread” is positive, and by surrender of the related Stock Option for cancellation.

	8.	RESTRICTED STOCK GRANTS. 

(a) IN GENERAL. A Restricted Stock Grant is the issue of shares of Common Stock or Units in the name of an Employee or
Director, which issuance is subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, restrictions on the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of such shares or Units and the requirement
that the Employee or Director forfeit such shares or Units back to the Company (i) upon termination of employment or service for specified reasons within a specified period of time, (ii) if any specified Performance Goals are not achieved
during a specified Performance Period, or (iii) if such other conditions as the Committee may specify are not satisfied. 

(b) ELIGIBILITY AND TERMS. Any Employee or Director may receive a Restricted Stock Grant. The Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall determine whether a Restricted Stock Grant shall be made, the Employee or Director to receive the Restricted Stock Grant, whether the Restricted Stock Grant will consist of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or both, and
the conditions and restrictions imposed on the Restricted Stock Grant. 
 (c) RESTRICTION PERIOD. Restricted
Stock Grants shall provide that in order for a Participant to receive shares of Common Stock or Units free of restrictions, the Participant must remain an Employee or Director of the Company or its Subsidiaries for a period of time specified by the
Committee (the “Restriction Period”). The Committee may also establish one or more Performance Goals that are required to be achieved during one or more Performance Periods within the Restriction Period as a condition to the lapse of the
restrictions. Except for Substitute Awards, upon a Change in Control, and in certain limited situations (including the death, disability or retirement of the Participant) as designated by the Committee in the applicable grant agreement, Restricted
Stock Grants to Employees that are subject solely to the continued service of the Participant shall have a Restriction Period of not less than three (3) years from the Date of Grant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the
pro rata lapse of restrictions in installments during the Restriction Period. Restricted Stock Grants to Employees that are subject to the achievement of one or more Performance Goals shall have a minimum Restriction Period of one year. 

(d) RESTRICTIONS. The following restrictions and conditions shall apply to each Restricted Stock Grant during the
Restriction Period: (i) the Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of or realize on the shares of Common Stock or Units subject to the Restricted Stock Grant; and (ii) the shares of
the Common Stock issued as Restricted Stock or the Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited to the Company if the Participant for any reason ceases to be an Employee or Director prior to the end of the Restriction Period, except due to
circumstances specified in the related grant agreement or otherwise approved by the Committee. Unless otherwise directed by the Committee, (i) all certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock will be held in custody by the Company until
all restrictions thereon have lapsed, together with a stock power or powers executed by the Participant in whose name such certificates are registered, endorsed in blank and covering such shares of Common Stock, or (ii) all uncertificated
shares of Restricted Stock will be held at the Company’s transfer agent in book entry form with appropriate restrictions relating to the transfer of such shares of Restricted Stock. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, include such other
restrictions and conditions as it may deem appropriate. 

  
 11 

 (e) PAYMENT. Upon expiration of the Restriction Period and if all
conditions have been satisfied and any applicable Performance Goals attained, the shares of the Restricted Stock will be made available to the Participant or the Restricted Stock Units will be vested in the account of the Participant, free of all
restrictions; provided, that the Committee may, in its discretion, require (i) the further deferral of any Restricted Stock Units beyond the initially specified Restriction Period, and (ii) that the Participant receive a cash payment in
lieu of delivery of shares of Common Stock under Restricted Stock Units. 
 (f) RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. A
Participant shall have, with respect to shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, receive any cash dividends paid thereon.
A Participant shall not have, with respect to Restricted Stock Units, any voting or other rights of a shareholder of the Company, but unless otherwise determined by the Committee shall have the right to receive Dividend Equivalents. Stock dividends
distributed with respect to shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be treated as additional shares or Units, as the case may be, under the Restricted Stock Grant and shall be subject to the restrictions and other terms and
conditions set forth therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Restricted Stock Grants that are subject to the attainment of Performance Goals, any dividends or Dividend Equivalents with respect to such Awards shall be accumulated
until the applicable Award is earned, and such dividends or Dividend Equivalents shall not be paid if the Performance Goals are not satisfied. 
  

	9.	PERFORMANCE GRANTS. 

(a) ELIGIBILITY AND TERMS. The Committee may grant to Employees the prospective contingent right, expressed in Units, to
receive payments of shares of Common Stock, cash or any combination thereof, with each Unit equivalent in value to one share of Common Stock, or equivalent to such other value or monetary amount as may be designated or established by the Committee
(“Performance Grants”), based upon the achievement of Performance Goals over a specified Performance Period. The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the Employees eligible to receive a Performance Grant and establish the
applicable Performance Periods, the Performance Measures and the Performance Goals in respect of such Performance Grant. The number of shares of Common Stock and/or the amount of cash earned and payable in settlement of a Performance Grant shall be
determined at the end of the Performance Period (a “Performance Award”). The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for the payment of Dividend Equivalents with respect to Performance Grants; provided that any such Dividend
Equivalents shall be accumulated until the applicable Award is earned, and such Dividend Equivalents shall not be paid if the Performance Goals are not satisfied. 
 (b) FORM OF GRANTS. Performance Grants may be made on such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, and in such form or forms, as the Committee may from time to time
approve. Performance Grants may be made alone, in addition to, in tandem with, or independent of other Awards under the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall, in its discretion, determine the number of Units subject to each
Performance Grant made to a Participant and the Committee may impose different terms and conditions on any particular Performance Grant made to any Participant. The Performance Goals, the Performance Period or Periods, and the Performance Measures
applicable to a Performance Grant shall be set forth in the relevant grant agreement. 

  
 12 

 (c) PAYMENT OF AWARDS. Each Participant shall be entitled to receive
payment in an amount equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value (if the Unit is equivalent to a share of Common Stock), or such other value as the Committee shall specify, of the Units earned in respect of such Performance Award. Payment in settlement
of a Performance Award may be made in shares of Common Stock, in cash, or in any combination of Common Stock and cash, and at such time or times, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine. 

 

	10.	OTHER STOCK-BASED GRANTS. 

(a) IN GENERAL. The Committee may grant other Awards pursuant to which Common Stock is, or in the future may be, acquired
by Participants, and other Awards to Participants denominated in Common Stock Equivalents or other Units (“Stock-Based Grants”). Such Stock-Based Grants may be made alone, in addition to, in tandem with, or independent of other Awards
under the Plan, including, without limitation, unrestricted shares of Common Stock. The Committee may make Stock-Based Grants as a bonus or in lieu of other compensation to a Participant, or may make Stock-Based Grants in lieu of obligations of the
Company or a Subsidiary to pay cash or deliver other property (including Common Stock) under a deferred compensation plan or under other plans or compensatory arrangements, subject to such terms as shall be determined by the Committee in a manner
that complies with Section 409A of the Code. 
 (b) ELIGIBILITY AND TERMS. The Committee may make
Stock-Based Grants to Employees or Directors. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority to determine the Employees and Directors to whom, and the time or times at which, Stock-Based Grants will be made, the number of
shares of Common Stock, if any, to be subject to or covered by each Stock-Based Grant, and any and all other terms and conditions of each Stock-Based Grant. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for the payment of Dividend Equivalents
with respect to Stock-Based Grants; provided that any Dividend Equivalents with respect to Stock-Based Grants that are subject to the attainment of Performance Goals shall be accumulated until the applicable Award is earned, and such Dividend
Equivalents shall not be paid if the Performance Goals are not satisfied. 
 (c) FORM OF GRANTS; PAYMENT OF
AWARDS. Stock-Based Grants may be made in such form or forms and on such terms and conditions, including the attainment of specific Performance Goals, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall approve. Payment of Stock-Based Awards may be
made in cash, in shares of Common Stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, and at such time or times, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine. 

 

	11.	AWARDS SUBJECT TO THE ATTAINMENT OF PERFORMANCE GOALS. 

 (a) PERFORMANCE GOALS, PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND PERFORMANCE PERIODS. Each Performance Grant and each other Award subject to the attainment of Performance Goals shall specify the Performance
Goals, Performance Period (which shall have a minimum duration of one year) and Performance Measures to which such Award is subject. The 

  
 13 

 
Performance Goals and Performance Period shall be established by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee shall establish one or more Performance Measures for each Performance Period
for determining the portion of the Award which will be earned or forfeited based on the extent to which the Performance Goals are achieved or exceeded. The term Performance Measures includes one or more of the criteria established pursuant to the
Plan for Participants who have received Performance Grants or other Awards subject to the attainment of Performance Goals. The Performance Measures applicable to any Qualified Performance-Based Award will be based on specified levels of or growth in
one or more of the following criteria: (i) net income per share; (ii) net income; (iii) return on sales; (iv) total shareholder return; (v) return on assets; (vi) economic value added; (vii) cash flow;
(viii) return on equity; (ix) operating income (which shall equal consolidated sales minus cost of goods sold and selling, administrative and general expense); and (x) return on invested capital. The Performance Measures may be
calculated before or after taxes, interest, depreciation, amortization, discontinued operations, effect of accounting changes, acquisition expenses, restructuring expenses, extraordinary items, non-operating items or unusual charges, as determined
by the Committee at the time the Performance Measures are established. Performance Goals may be established on a corporate-wide basis, with respect to one or more business units, divisions, subsidiaries or business segments and in either absolute
terms or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies or an index covering multiple companies. Performance Goals may include minimum, maximum and target levels of performance, with the size of the Performance Award or other payout
of the Award based on the level attained. Once established by the Committee and specified in the grant agreement, and if and to the extent provided in or required by the grant agreement, the Performance Goals and the Performance Measure in respect
of any Qualified Performance-Based Award (including any Performance Grant or other Award subject to the attainment of Performance Goals) shall not be changed. The Committee may, in its discretion, eliminate or reduce (but not increase) the amount of
any Qualified Performance-Based Award that otherwise would be payable to a Participant upon attainment of the Performance Goals. 
 (b) INDIVIDUAL LIMITS. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be the subject of Awards (other than Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) subject to the attainment
of Performance Goals that are granted to any single Participant during any calendar year shall be 500,000. The maximum aggregate amount of cash that may be paid to any single Participant during any calendar year pursuant to Awards that can be paid
only in cash subject to the attainment of Performance Goals shall be $20,000,000. 
  

	12.	DEFERRALS. 

 To the extent
permitted by Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may, whether at the time of grant or at anytime thereafter prior to payment or settlement, require a Participant to defer, or permit (subject to such conditions as the Committee may from time
to time establish) a Participant to elect to defer, receipt of all or any portion of any payment of cash or shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be due to such Participant in payment or settlement of any Award under the Plan. If any such
deferral is required by the Committee (or is elected by the Participant with the permission of the Committee), the Committee shall establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals. The Committee may provide for the payment or crediting of
interest, at such rate or rates as it shall in its discretion deem appropriate, on such deferred 

  
 14 

 
amounts credited in cash and the payment or crediting of Dividend Equivalents in respect of deferred amounts credited in Common Stock Equivalents or Restricted Stock Units. Deferred amounts may
be paid in a lump sum or in installments in the manner and to the extent permitted, and in accordance with rules and procedures established, by the Committee. This Section 12 shall not apply to any grant of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights that are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code. 
  

	13.	NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS. 

 No Award under the Plan, and no right or interest therein, shall be (i) assignable, alienable or transferable by a Participant, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or
(ii) subject to any obligation, or the lien or claims of any creditor, of any Participant, or (iii) subject to any lien, encumbrance or claim of any party made in respect of or through any Participant, however arising. During the lifetime
of a Participant, Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights are exercisable only by, and shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights or in settlement of other Awards will be issued only to, and
other payments in settlement of any Award will be payable only to, the Participant or his or her legal representative. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, authorize written designations of beneficiaries and authorize Participants to designate
beneficiaries with the authority to exercise Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to a Participant in the event of his or her death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and on and subject to such
terms and conditions as it shall deem appropriate, which terms and conditions shall be set forth in the related grant agreement: (i) authorize a Participant to transfer all or a portion of any Award made to such Participant; provided, that in
no event shall any transfer be made to any person or persons other than such Participant’s spouse, children or grandchildren, or a trust or partnership (or other legal entity which the Committee may approve) for the exclusive benefit of one or
more such persons, which transfer must be made as a gift and without any consideration; and (ii) provide for the transferability of a particular Award pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. All other transfers and any retransfer by
any permitted transferee are prohibited and any such purported transfer shall be null and void. Each Award which becomes the subject of a permitted transfer (and the Participant to whom it was granted by the Company) shall continue to be subject to
the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to such permitted transfer. The Participant shall remain responsible to the Company for the payment of all withholding taxes incurred as a result of any exercise of such Award. In no
event shall any permitted transfer of an Award create any right in any party in respect of any Award, other than the rights of the qualified transferee in respect of such Award specified in the related grant agreement. 

  
 15 

	14.	CHANGE IN CONTROL. 

 (a) EFFECT ON
GRANTS. The Committee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Participants, either by the terms of the applicable grant agreement or by resolution adopted prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control, determine whether and to
what extent outstanding Awards under the Plan shall be assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity in connection with a Change in Control (or, if the Company is the resulting entity, whether such Awards shall be continued by the Company),
in each case subject to equitable adjustments in accordance with Section 4(c) of the Plan. 
  

	 	(1)	To the extent outstanding Awards granted under this Plan are not assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity in connection with a Change in Control (or, if
the Company is the resulting entity, to the extent such Awards are not continued by the Company) in accordance with this Section 14(a), then effective immediately prior to the Change in Control: (i) all Stock Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights then outstanding shall become fully exercisable as of the date of the Change in Control, whether or not then exercisable; (ii) all restrictions and conditions in respect of all Restricted Stock Grants then outstanding shall be deemed
satisfied as of the date of the Change in Control; and (iii) all Performance Grants and Stock-Based Grants shall be deemed to have been fully earned, at the target amount of the award opportunity specified in the grant agreement, as of the date
of the Change in Control. 

  

	 	(2)	To the extent outstanding Awards granted under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity in connection with a Change in Control (or, if the
Company is the resulting entity, to the extent such Awards are continued by the Company) in accordance with this Section 14(a), then all Awards shall continue to vest during the applicable vesting period, if any, in accordance with their terms,
subject to the immediately following sentence. In the event of a Severance (as defined below) of a Participant, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or a grant agreement to the contrary (unless the grant agreement provides otherwise
with specific reference to this Section): (i) all Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then outstanding shall become fully exercisable as of the date of the Severance, whether or not then exercisable; (ii) all restrictions and
conditions in respect of all Restricted Stock Grants then outstanding shall be deemed satisfied as of the date of the Severance; and (iii) all Performance Grants and Stock-Based Grants shall be deemed to have been fully earned, at the target
amount of the award opportunity specified in the grant agreement, as of the date of the Severance. 

(b) DEFINITIONS. As used in the Plan, the following terms shall have the following meanings (unless otherwise prescribed
by the Committee in a grant agreement): 
  

	 	(1)	“Affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. 

 

	 	(2)	“Beneficial Owner” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. 

  
 16 

	 	(3)	“Cause” means (1) the continued failure by the Participant to substantially perform the Participant’s duties with the Company or a Subsidiary
(other than any such failure resulting from the Participant’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness), (2) the engaging by the Participant in conduct which is demonstrably injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise,
(3) the Participant committing any felony or any crime involving fraud, breach of trust or misappropriation or (4) any breach or violation of any agreement relating to the Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary
where the Company or a Subsidiary, in its discretion, determines that such breach or violation materially and adversely affects the Company. 

  

	 	(4)	A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if the event set forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred:

  

	 	(i)	any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person
any securities acquired directly from the Company other than securities acquired by virtue of the exercise of a conversion or similar privilege or right unless the security being so converted or pursuant to which such right was exercised was itself
acquired directly from the Company) representing 20% or more of (A) the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company or (B) the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors; or 

  

	 	(ii)	the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving on the Board of Directors (the “Incumbent
Board”): individuals who, on the Effective Date, constitute the Board of Directors and any new director (other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including, without
limitation, a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved or recommended by a vote of
at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors on the Effective Date or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended; or 

 

	 	(iii)	 there is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation, other
than a merger or consolidation pursuant to which (A) the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into
voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock, and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors, as the case may be, of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, (B) no Person will become the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of
the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof representing 20% or 

  
 17 

	 	
more of the outstanding shares of common stock or the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (except to the extent that
such ownership existed prior to such merger or consolidation) and (C) individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation (or any parent thereof)
resulting from such merger or consolidation; or 

  

	 	(iv)	the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or there is consummated a sale or disposition by the Company of all
or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, (A) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock, and the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of which (or of any parent of such entity) is owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale, (B) in which (or in any parent of such entity) no Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or
more of the outstanding shares of common stock resulting from such sale or disposition or the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (except to the extent that such
ownership existed prior to such sale or disposition) and (C) in which (or in any parent of such entity) individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors.

  

	 	(5)	“Effective Date” means the date set forth in Section 3(a) hereof. 

 

	 	(6)	“Good Reason” as a reason for a Participant’s termination of employment shall have the meaning assigned such term, if any, under (i) The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Executive Severance and Change in Control Plan, as amended from time to time, or any successor plan, but only if he or she participates in that plan immediately prior to the Severance, or (ii) under The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Continuity Plan for Salaried Employees, as amended from time to time, or any successor plan, but only if he or she participates in that plan (and that plan defines “Good Reason” for purposes of his
or her termination of employment) immediately prior to the Severance. 

  

	 	(7)	“Person” shall have the meaning given in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act, as modified and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof,
except that such term shall not include (1) the Company or any of its Affiliates, (2) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (3) an underwriter
temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities or (4) a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company.

  
 18 

	 	(8)	“Severance” means from the date of a Change in Control until the second anniversary of the Change in Control, the termination of a Participant’s
employment with the Company or a Subsidiary (A) by the Company or a Subsidiary, other than for Cause or pursuant to mandatory retirement policies of the Company or a Subsidiary that existed prior to the Change in Control or (B) by the
Participant for Good Reason, but only if he or she either participates in The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Executive Severance and Change in Control Plan, as amended from time to time, or any successor plan, or participates in The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Continuity Plan for Salaried Employees, as amended from time to time, or any successor plan (and that plan defines “Good Reason” for purposes of his or her termination of employment), immediately
prior to the date of termination. 

 A Participant will not be considered to have incurred a Severance if his or
her employment is discontinued by reason of the Participant’s death or a physical or mental condition causing such Participant’s inability to substantially perform his or her duties with the Company or a Subsidiary, including, without
limitation, such condition entitling him or her to benefits under any sick pay or disability income policy or program of the Company or a Subsidiary. 
  

	15.	AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. 

The Board of Directors may terminate the Plan at any time, except with respect to grants then outstanding. The Board of Directors may
amend the Plan at any time and from time to time in such respects as the Board of Directors may deem necessary or appropriate without approval of the shareholders, unless such approval is necessary in order to comply with applicable laws, including
the Exchange Act and the Code, or the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. In no event may the Board of Directors amend the Plan without the approval of the shareholders to (i) increase the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Plan, (ii) increase any limitation set forth in the Plan on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued, or the aggregate value of Awards which may be
made, in respect of any type of grant to any single Participant during any specified period, (iii) reduce the minimum exercise price for Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, (iv) change the restrictions on the repricing of Stock
Options or Stock Appreciation Rights contained in the penultimate sentence of Sections 6(b) or 7(b) of the Plan, or (v) change the Performance Measure criteria applicable to any Qualified Performance-Based Award identified in
Section 11(a) of the Plan. 
 Subject to Sections 6(b) and 7(b) hereof, the Committee may amend the terms of any Award
granted under the Plan prospectively or retroactively, except in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of such Award under Section 162(m) of the Code.
Subject to Section 4(c) above, no amendment shall materially impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent; provided, however, that the Committee may modify an Incentive Stock Option held by a Participant to disqualify such
Stock Option from treatment as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code without the Participant’s consent. 

  
 19 

	16.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

(a) WITHHOLDING TAXES. All Awards under the Plan will be made subject to any applicable withholding for taxes of any
kind. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any amount payable under the Plan, including delivery of shares of Common Stock to be made under the Plan, all federal, state, city, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld with respect to such payment and to take such other actions as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. If shares of Common Stock are used to satisfy withholding taxes, such
shares shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value thereof on the date when the withholding for taxes is required to be made and shall be withheld only up to the minimum required tax withholding rates or such other rate that will not trigger a
negative accounting impact on the Company. The Company shall have the right to require a Participant to pay cash to satisfy withholding taxes as a condition to the payment of any amount (whether in cash or shares of Common Stock) under the Plan.

 (b) SUBSTITUTE AWARDS FOR AWARDS GRANTED BY OTHER ENTITIES. Substitute Awards may be granted under the Plan
for grants or awards held by employees of a company or entity who become Employees as a result of the acquisition, merger or consolidation of the employer company by or with the Company or a Subsidiary. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law
and notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the terms, provisions and benefits of the Substitute Awards so granted may vary from those set forth in or required or authorized by this Plan to such extent as the Committee at the time of
the grant may deem appropriate to conform, in whole or part, to the terms, provisions and benefits of the grants or awards in substitution for which they are granted. 
 (c) NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of any Award shall confer upon any Employee any right to continued employment with the Company or any
Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Employee at any time, with or without cause. 
 (d) UNFUNDED PLAN. The Plan shall be unfunded and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards under the Plan. Any liability of
the Company to any person with respect to any Award under the Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be effected pursuant to the Plan. No such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or
other encumbrance on, any property of the Company. 
 (e) PAYMENTS TO TRUST. The Committee is authorized to
cause to be established a trust agreement or several trust agreements whereunder the Committee may make payments of amounts due or to become due to Participants in the Plan. 
 (f) ENGAGING IN COMPETITION WITH COMPANY. In the event a Participant terminates his or her employment with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason whatsoever, and within eighteen
(18) months after the date thereof accepts employment with any competitor of, or otherwise engages in competition with, the Company, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Participant to return, or (if not received) to forfeit,
to the Company the economic value of any Award which is realized or obtained (measured at the date of exercise, 

  
 20 

 
vesting or payment) by such Participant (i) at any time after the date which is six months prior to the date of such Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or
(ii) during such other period as the Committee may determine. 
 (g) COMPENSATION RECOVERY POLICY. Any Award granted
to a Participant shall be subject to forfeiture or repayment pursuant to the terms of any applicable compensation recovery policy maintained by the Company from time to time, including any such policy that may be adopted or amended to comply with
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any rules or regulations issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or applicable securities exchange. 
 (h) OTHER COMPANY BENEFIT AND COMPENSATION PROGRAMS. Payments and other benefits received by a Participant under an Award made pursuant to the Plan shall not be deemed a part of a
Participant’s regular, recurring compensation for purposes of any termination indemnity or severance pay law of any country and shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of benefits under any pension or other employee
benefit plan or similar arrangement provided by the Company or any Subsidiary, unless (i) expressly so provided by such other plan or arrangement or (ii) the Committee expressly determines that an Award or a portion thereof should be
included as recurring compensation. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prohibit the Company or any Subsidiary from establishing other special awards, incentive compensation plans, compensation programs and other similar arrangements providing for
the payment of performance, incentive or other compensation to Employees or Directors. Payments and benefits provided to any Employee or Director under any other plan, including, without limitation, any stock option, stock award, restricted stock,
deferred compensation, savings, retirement or other benefit plan or arrangement, shall be governed solely by the terms of such other plan. 
 (i) SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS. In no event shall the Company be obligated to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock if such issuance or delivery shall constitute a violation of any
provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued under the Plan unless counsel for the Company shall be satisfied that such
issuance will be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations and all requirements of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. 

(j) GRANT AGREEMENTS. Each grant of an Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by a grant agreement, in a form specified
by the Committee, which shall set forth the terms and conditions of the Award and such related matters as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine consistent with this Plan. A grant agreement may be in an electronic medium, may be
limited to a notation on the books and records of the Company and, unless determined otherwise by the Committee, need not be signed by a representative of the Company or a Participant. 

(k) FOREIGN EMPLOYEES. Without amending the Plan, the Committee may grant Awards to Participants who are foreign nationals, or who
are subject to applicable laws of one or more non-United States jurisdictions, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may in the judgment of the Committee be necessary or desirable to foster and promote
achievement of the purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes, the 

  
 21 

 
Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, and the like as may be necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of applicable laws of other countries in which the Company
or its Subsidiaries operate or have employees. 
 (l) SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of the Plan
shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan. 
 (m) GOVERNING LAW. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without references to principles of conflicts of laws. 

(n) COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE. Awards granted under the Plan shall be designed and administered in
such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A
of the Code, the grant agreement shall incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code upon a Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any grant
agreement (unless the grant agreement provides otherwise with specific reference to this Section), an Award shall not be granted, deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out, settled, substituted or modified under this Plan in a manner that would
result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code upon a Participant. Although the Company intends to administer the Plan so that Awards will be exempt from, or will comply with, the requirements of Section 409A
of the Code, the Company does not warrant that any Award under the Plan will qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 409A of the Code or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. Neither the Company, its
Subsidiaries, nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to any Participant (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Participant) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Participant might owe as a
result of the grant, holding, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award under the Plan.

	Section 2.3.	Execution and Authentication. 

 Any Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. 

A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall
be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee shall at any time, and from
time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Such Company Order may
authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate. 
 The aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution,
supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, except as provided in Section 2.8. 
 Prior to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental
indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officers’
Certificate complying with Section 10.4, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4. 
 The
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not be taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by
its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities.

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

	Section 2.4.	Registrar and Paying Agent. 

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

  
 - 7 -

 
purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying
agent or additional service agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Service Agent” includes any additional service agent.

 The Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent for each Series unless another
Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued. 
  

	Section 2.5.	Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

 The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities, or the
Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues,
the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the
Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Securityholders of any
Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent. 
  

	Section 2.6.	Securityholder Lists. 

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

 

	Section 2.7.	Transfer and Exchange. 

Where Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co- registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them
for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall
authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6 or 9.6). 

Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series
for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or
(b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part.

  

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

 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor
and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 If there shall be delivered to the Company and
the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (b) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each 

  
 - 8 -

 
of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of written notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company
shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is
about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or
not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder.

 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
  

	Section 2.9.	Outstanding Securities. 

The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those
delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding. 

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company of any thereof) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay all amounts payable in respect of such Securities on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series
cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
 The Company may purchase or otherwise acquire the Securities,
whether by open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security. 

In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the
date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2. 
  

	Section 2.10.	Treasury Securities. 

 In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver Securities of a Series owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the
Company shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver only Securities of a Series that a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 

  
 - 9 -

	Section 2.11.	Temporary Securities. 

Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a
Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. 

Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon request shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same
Series and date of Maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary Securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive Securities. 

 

	Section 2.12	Cancellation. 

 The
Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall
cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange
Act) and deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company upon the Company’s written request. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

 

	Section 2.13	Defaulted Interest. 

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

	Section 2.14.	Global Securities. 

2.14.1. Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate shall establish
whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depository for such Global Security or Securities. 
 2.14.2 Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable
pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depository for such Security or its nominee only if (a) such Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depository for such Global Security or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depository registered as a clearing
agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (b) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is
exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depository shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like
tenor and terms. 
 Except as provided in this Section 2.14.2, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole
by the Depository with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depository, by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a
nominee of such a successor Depository. 
 2.14.3 Legend. Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form: 
 “THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS
REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE DEPOSITORY OR A 

  
 - 10 -

 
NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITORY. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITORY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN
THE INDENTURE, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITORY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITORY, BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITORY TO THE DEPOSITORY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITORY OR BY THE DEPOSITORY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A
SUCCESSOR DEPOSITORY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITORY” 
 2.14.4 Acts of Holders. The Depository, as a
Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture. 

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

2.14.6 Consents, Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.14.5, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent
shall treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depository with respect to such Global Security, for purposes
of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture. 
 2.15. CUSIP
Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such
notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification
printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of the Series that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000
or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2.10, the minimum principal denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of

	Section 6.2.	Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f)) then in every
such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that Series are Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Securities of that Series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if
given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(e) or (f) shall
occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee
or any Holder. 

  
 - 15 -

 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has been
made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series, by
written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (a) the
Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
 (i) all overdue interest, if any, on all Securities of
that Series, 
 (ii) the principal of any Securities of that Series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, 
 (iii) to the extent that
payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon any overdue principal and overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and 
 (iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 

(b) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that
Series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

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

 The Company covenants that if 
 (a) default is made in the payment of any interest
on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 90 days, or 
 (b) default
is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof, or 
 (c) default is made in the deposit of any
sinking fund payment when and as due by the terms of a Security, 
 then, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the
benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and any
overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon
such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same
against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or deemed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

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

	Section 6.4.	Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other
obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee 

  
 - 16 -

 
(irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made
any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in
order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

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

and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due the Trustee under Section 7.7. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Holder in any such proceeding. 
  

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

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

 

	Section 6.6.	Application of Money Collected. 

 Any money 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 interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7; and 

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

Third: To the Company. 
  

	Section 6.7.	Limitation on Suits. 

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

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

  
 - 17 -

 (b) the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of that Series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity 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 has failed to institute any such proceeding;
and 
 (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series; 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more
of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders. 

 

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

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

	Section 6.9.	Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

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

	Section 6.10.	Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

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

	Section 6.11.	Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

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

  
 - 18 -

	Section 6.12.	Control by Holders. 

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

 

	Section 6.13.	Waiver of Past Defaults. 

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

 

	Section 6.14.	Undertaking for Costs. 

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

 TRUSTEE 
  

	Section 7.1	Duties of Trustee. 

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

 (i) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others. 

  
 - 19 -

 (ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such
Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or
not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) This paragraph does not
limit the effect of paragraph (b) 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 is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

of any Series in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series 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. 
 (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraph (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

receives indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 
 (f) The Trustee shall
not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

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

(h) The Paying Agent, the Registrar and any authenticating agent shall be entitled to the protections, immunities and standard of care as
are set forth in this Section with respect to the Trustee. 
  

	Section 7.2.	Rights of Trustee.

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

 - 20 -

any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder without negligence and in good faith and in reliance thereon.

direction of any of the Holders of Securities unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction. 
  

	Section 7.3.	Individual Rights of Trustee. 

 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have
if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the
TIA) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 
  

	Section 7.4.	Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

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

	Section 7.5.	Notice of Defaults. 

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

 

	Section 7.6.	Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

 Within 60 days after May 15 in each year beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Securities remain outstanding, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to
all Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear on the register kept by the Registrar a brief report dated as of such May 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred
within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA §313(c). 

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders of any Series will be mailed by the Trustee to the Company and filed
by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Securities of that Series are listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when Securities of any Series are listed on any stock
exchange. 
  

	Section 7.7	Compensation and Indemnity. 

 The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law

indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one such counsel. The Company need not pay for any
settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee. 

The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer,
director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through negligence or bad faith. 
 To secure the Company’s payment
obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any Series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities of that
Series. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(e) or
(f) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  

	Section 7.8.	Replacement of Trustee. 

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. 
 The Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities
of one or more Series by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so
notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of one or more Series if:

takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 

If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring
Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee. 
 If the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series fails to comply with Section 7.10, any
Securityholder of the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as
Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee

pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it prior to such replacement. 

  
 - 22 -

	Section 7.9.	Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

	Section 8.1	Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 

 This Indenture shall upon Company Order cease to be of further effect (except as hereinafter provided in this Section 8.1), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

 and the Company, in the case of (1), (2) or (3) above, has
irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust an amount sufficient for the purpose of paying and discharging the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for

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

Company to the Trustee under Section 7.7, and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.7, 2.8, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.5 shall survive.

with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4 and all money received by the Trustee in respect of U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4, shall be held in
trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the
persons entitled thereto, of the principal and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee or to make mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments as contemplated by Sections 8.3 or 8.4.

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

(c) The Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign
Government Obligations or money held by it as provided in Sections 8.3 or 8.4 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee,

the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money,
and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published
once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any

	Section 8.6.	Reinstatement. 

 If the
Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Sections 8.1, 8.3 or 8.4, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.3 or 8.4, as the case may be, until such
time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.1, 8.3 or 8.4, as the case may be; 

  
 - 26 -

 
provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Securities because of reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 (i) to add additional obligors under the Indenture
and the Securities; 
 (j) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with

(k) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA. 

 

	Section 9.2.	With Consent of Holders. 

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

  
 - 27 -

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

 Without the
consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may not:

Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest
(including default interest) on any Security; 
 (c) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or
reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation; 
 (d) reduce the
principal amount of Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof;

principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency other than that stated in the Security; 

(g) make any change in Sections 6.8, 6.13 or 9.3 (this sentence); or 

(h) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security.

	Section 9.5.	Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

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

  
 - 28 -

	Section 9.6.	Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 

 The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the

amount on the Securities of any Series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final non-appealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then, the rate of
exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final
non-appealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered
in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be
payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full
amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable, and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day
except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 SINKING FUNDS 

 

	Section 11.1	Applicability of Article. 

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

	Section 11.2.	Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. 

 The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver
outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such
sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased by the Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the
application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee,
together with an Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the
price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund 

  
 - 32 -

 
and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2, the
principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that
such action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon
receipt of a Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid
principal amount equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Company. 
  

	Section 11.3.	Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. 

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